Gyp's Miss Polly.

BY CURRAN r. GREENLEY.
downright, 1900, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
The freight flickered and fell along
the wall in glancing rays, that CEN
tered upon Miss Polly's down-bent
mead and the crumpled mass of paper
in her tightly clenched hands.
10 the world at large it mattered
little that Edmund Garrett announced
his marriage to Louise Lotion; but to
the woman who had cast her youth
promise on the altar of his ambition,
it was tinality.
The fire died down. but Miss Polly
did not notice that. She was far away
IN the byways of dead years, and the
way was dark. Long ago one voice
had said: "Wait, sweetheart, till the
tide comes in from the Fortunate
Isles." The tide came in, but the ship
that rode it's crest was not for her.
The room grew chill. Gyp, the fox
terrier, came and thrust his cold nose
against her hands. Gyp was not a
stranger to surprises, but the dark and
cold were new to him, and he snug
gled still closer. Suddenly Miss Polly
arose, lit the gas, and replenished the
fire. Gyp wagged his approval. This
was in his limit of things understood,
but it went beyond when Miss Polly
deliberately took her seat in front of
the mirror, scrutinizing each feature
as if it were a face seen for the first
time. Masses of fluffy hair drawn Sc
yerely from the pale oval of a wistful
face, lit by the clear, gray of the black
fringed eyes-a face, in which youth
had died; as yet untouched by age. A
long time those two gazed at one an
other, Miss Polly, and the weary wom-
an that fronted her; then Gyp beheld
transformation. Across the sweet
cure of the patient mouth, there grew
a hard, tense line, and a new fire leapt

gish brain could not fath0m. Then
came horrible time in the baggage
car with man, whose familiarity he
treated with well-bred contempt.
At last he heard Miss Polly's voice,
but it was that girl in the picture
that came down the platform, and his
Miss Polly was not there at all. He
never found her; but the girl in the
picture claimed him. and they drove
away to a big house, where another
girl came out, and called her "dar-
ling Marian" It was all very puzzling
to small doggie; but very pleasant,
for the "girl" took him for long walks
down on the sands, where he lay in
the sunshine and listened to Miss
Polly's voice, although he never could

find her.
Polly had never done. One night the
maid forgot to put him to bed, and he
lay on his cushion long time in the
dim-lit room. The door opened, and
the "girl' came in. Gyp was almost
afraid of her-and yet, she was very
lovely, in the glisten of the white
gown slipping down from her Shout
ders, and the bright things in her hair.
Then the other girl came in.
Marian, did you talk with Edmund
Garrett?"
'sYes-that is-well; we were not
together more than a minute"
HE is very brilliant; but his wife
-Ugh," said Margaret.

into the tired eyes. Miss Polly left
the room, returning with a small box;
this she placed near the mirror, then
turned to the curious little black
trunk that Gyp knew contained her
treasures. Gyp sat up and looked
puzzled as Miss Polly dragged it over
to the crate. One by one, they were
thrust into the glow of the flames. A
dainty silken gown, redolent with the
sweetness of long-dead roses, a broken
fan, 1etters-ah SO many, and pic
ture that was held face down, and
Gyp struggled still closer, as. a faint
moan came from Miss Polly's white
lips. 1t crumpled into ashes, and with
a quick movement, Miss Polly rolled
the little trunk back to it's place..
empty, and resumed her seat before the
mirror. With deft fingers che
locsened, brushed, and wound the
shining mass into picturesque disor-
der. Then-Shades of the standards
that were! Miss Polly applied the
contents of that small box; and Gyp
knew that the laughing girl in the pic
ture below the stairs was really his
Miss Polly.
In the days that followed there came
a revolution into his small life. He
was actually left to the care of Bridget,
while Miss Polly only came and went.
attended by small army of women
with bundles No more quiet even
ings; but a tumult of making ready
for what he could not tell; yet Miss
Polly moved through it all, quiet and
determined, unheeding the protests OF
an excited family, that clamored tor
all explanation.
It was very disgruntled household
that a week later waved its good-bys
to the carriage that bore Gyp and his
mistress away-away to the far south
ern town. Gyp sat perfectly still, and
eyed her new suit case with becom-
ing gravity. Clearly there was some
ching in all this-something his dog

Marian" the other girl had grown
earnest, there are things that have
died; but do not trample too hard upon
their graves. What are you going to
do with Jack Ronald? Is he merely
a resource?"
The two looked at each other, and
the ''girl". began hurried pacing over
the room; her white robe agleam in
the dusky light.
"Well?" said Margaret.
II mean to marry him." The words
fell heavily; and there was silence be-
tween them for little space, then
Margaret folded the shining figure into
long, close embrace. God help you,
DEAR" she said, and passed out.
All that night Gyp lay unnoticed
upon the foot of the bed, while the
sibilant breathing from the depths
of the laces and pillows told of the
battle fought out in the darkness.
And so the days went by, but now,
when they walked the sands, there was
a man who Joined them; and soon
there was another man, who never
seemed to know that they were COM
ing; but somehow, always managed
to meet them. He never was in a
pleasant humor; but the "girl"
laughed always, that cold little laugh,
as the three paced the beach together.
Mr.. Ronald was the first mans name;
then, after a time, she called him

last, there came morning when

sands, and Gyp followed. The "other

wood, and Gyp sat up very straight,
and listened, as little dogs will, when

then-he found his Miss Polly, as the

her head, as "Jack" plunged into the
old, passionate story whose echo never
dies on human lips. The little waves
danced up at their feet, with the sun
gold of the sea. Far out, the gull
wings flashed against the brazen blue
of the sky under the throb of the sea-
voice, the mans voice rang, tender
and low. At the faint, half-spoken
eyes," Gyp shivered with delight. He
was certain now that it was Miss Polly,
but he did not approve of this-there,
there, little dogs cannot understand
these things. Really, it passed belief;
but Miss Polly did not seem to object
to the strong arm that drew her
tawny head down to its resting place
against the rough tweed shoulder.
Gyp sprang up and barked as loudly
as he could, but too late, the "other
man" had rounded the pile of drift
wood.
There was a long moment-a mo-
Miss Polly's gray eyes flashed a mes

years. Heliographs, that signaled a

Keeling, staggering, with tense hands
clutching at his throat, the "other
man" fell headlong on the sands; and
Gyp shivered, as her laugh rang out
