He knew her gratitude.
They stood oblivious OF the per-
formers returning from the main tent,
until Bankers voice brought Polly to
herself and sent Jim about the load
ing OF the wagons.
Her conversation with Jim had
brought back all OF Pollys feeling OF
uneasiness about Douglas. She shrank
from going into the ring before the
unfriendly eyes or his townspeople.
What would they say OF her? How
would the description sound to him
when colored By their dislike?
She felt her courage falling. She
faced Barker with desperate deter
mination not TO go into the ring. Her
turn came after the next entree.
Not go into the ring?" he shouted
"and with that crowd out there what's

"Sure thing. I amt goin' ter head

excitement. I'm the best rider slice

"She wouldn't" cried Polly. He.
