Lonely days followed Polly's deser-

that the conversation that once
amused the pastor had now become
an intrusion and an interruption to
thoughts in which she had no part.
She tried to think OF new dishes
to tempt his appetite, but met with
constant failure. He would sit with
dcwncast eyes. neither seeing nor
hearing as she came and went from
the kitchen bearing backward and for
ward the untasted food.
She sometimes found a book OF civil
engineering lying open on his study
table, where only the bible used to
be, and she remembered the zeal with
which he had set about to open new
roads and to improve the general APP
pearance OF the little town when he
first came to them to act as pastor.
But his enthusiasm had met with no
response from the deacons and church
people, who thought he might be bet

time bid fair to be his profession and
