find In herr" were few of the many
questions that the women were asking
each other. Now that the cause of
their envy was removed they would
gladly have reinstated the pastor as
their idol, for. like all truly feminine
souls, they could not bear to see a man
unhappy without wishing to comfort
him, nor happy unless they were the
direct cause Of his state. "How dare
any man be happy without me?" has
been the cry of each woman since Eve
was created to mate with Adam.

CHAPTER XII.

II lonely days followed Polly's
II desertiOn of the parsonage
ILL Mandy went about her duties
u very quietly, feeling that the
little comments which once amused the
pastor had now become an interruption
to thoughts in which she had no part
He would sit for hours with his head
in his hands. taking no notice of what
passed before him She tried to think
Of new dishes to tempt his appetite and
shook her head sadly as she bore the
untasted food back to the kitchen.
She sometimes found a portfolio of
drawings lying open upon his study ia
BILE. She remembered the zeal with
which he had planned to remodel the
church and parsonage when he first
came to them, how his enthusiasm had
gradually died for lack of encourage
ment and how he had at last put his
books in a cupboard, where they grew
dusty from long neglect. She mar
veled Mt their temperance now, but
something in his set, faraway look
made her afraid to inquire. Thus she
went on from day to day, growing
more impatient with Hasty and more
silent with the pastor.
Mandy needed humor and compan-
ionship to Oil the wheels Of her hum
drum life. There was no more laugh
ter in the house, and she began to
droop.
Polly had been away from the parson-
age month when the complacency Of
the village was again upset by the ar
rival Of the Great American Circus"

''You lie!" cried Douglas. taking a
step toward the retreating deacon.

Strong as he pointed to the gate.

Douglas t1rned quickly and saw Jim
approaching. His face lighted up with
relief at the sight Of the big, lumber
ing fellow.
"How are you, Mr.. Douglas?" said
Jim awkwardly.

"Yes, I've seen her."

ment in Jim's manner.
Before Jim could reply Polly, who
had reached the steps in time to catch
the last few words, slipped quickly
between them. She wore her coat and
hat and carried a small brown satchel.
"Of course l did. didn't l, JimY' she
said, turning her back upon the pas
tor and motioning to Jim not to an
swer. Douglas gazed at her In aston.

"What do you mean" he asked in a
hoarse. strained voice. He glanced at
the coat and hat. "Where are you

" I'M was slow tonight. The big
show was nearly over, yet
many of the props used in the
" early part of the bill were still

He was tinkering absentmindedly
with one of the wagons in the back lot.
and the men were standing about idly
waiting for orders when Barker came
out of the main tent and called to him
sharply:
Hey. there, Jim! What's your ex-
cuse tonight?"
Excuse for what?" Jim crossed
slowly to Barker.
1.-THE cook tent was started half an

"What do you mean by thatw asked
Jim sharply.
Il mean that all your times took up
a-carryin' and a-fetchin' for that girl
what calls you 'Muvver Jim"
What have you got to say about
her?' Jim eyed him with a threaten
ing look.
II got a-plenty," said Barker as he
turned to snap his whip at the small
boys who had stolen into the back lot
to peek under the rear edge of the
big top. "She's been about as much
good as sick cat since she come back,
You saw her act last night"
"Yes," answered Jim doggedly-
Wasn't it punk? She didn't show at
all this afternoon; said she was sick.

"Give her little time" Jim pleaded.
"She amt rode for year."

his shoulders as he looked steadily at

"You can't bluff met" shouted Barker.
II amt blutfin'. I'm only tellin' you,"
said Jim very quietly.
"Well, you tell her to get on to her
Job. If she don't, she quits; that's ALL"
He hurried into the ring.
Jim took one step to follow him,
then stopped and gazed at the ground
with thoughtful eyes. He, too, had
seen the change in Polly. He had tried
to rouse her. 1t was no use. She had

tried to make the room look CHEEKY
for his entrance.
IFS 'fraid yo's mighty tired" she
said.
"Oh, no." answered Douglas absently
"Mebbe yo'd like Mandy to be sarvin'
your supper in here tonight. It's more
cheerfuler"
He crossed to the window and looked
out upon the circus lot. The flare of
the torches and the red fire came I'D
to meet his pale, tense face. "How
like the picture of thirteen months
agov' he thought, and old Tobys words
came back to him-"The show has got

He longed to have done with dreams
and speculation, to feel something tan
gible, warm and real within his grasp.
~ can't 90 on like this" he cried. ~
can'tw He turned from the window
and walked hurriedly up and down the
room. Indoors or out, he found no
rest. He threw himself in the arm
chair near the table and sat buried in
thought.
Mandy came softly into the room.
She was followed by Hasty, who car
ried a tray laden with things that
ought to have tempted any man. She
motiOned for Hasty to put the tray
on the table and then began arranging
the dishes. Hasty stole to the window
and peeped out at the tempting fare
Of red fire.
When Douglas discovered the pres
ence of his two ''faithfuls" he was
touched with momentary contrition.
Have you had hard day with the
new gravel walkY' he asked Hasty,
remembering that he had been laying
fresh path to the Sunday school
room.

she urged him to eat before disturbing

Oars quite some racket out dar in
de lot tonight" she said. Douglas did
not answer. After a moment she went
on, "Hasty didn't work on no walk
today" Douglas looked at her quiz
zically, while Hasty, convinced that
for reasons of her own she was going
to get him into trouble, was making
frantic motions. "He done gone ter de
circus.' she blurted out. Douglas face
became suddenly grave. Mandy saw
that she had touched an open wound.
81 jes' couldn't stan it, Massa John.
I had ter find out bout dat angel chile"
There was a pause. She felt that he
was waiting for her to go on.
"She didn't done ride today"
He looked up with the eyes Of
dumb, prosecuted animal. "And de
gemmen in de show didn't tell nobody
why-jes' speaked bout de udder gal
takin' her place."
"Why didn't she ride?" cried Doug

Mandy began to cry. 1t was the first

Leah me alone, yo' nigger! she ex-
claimed, trying to cover her tears with
q show Of anger that she did not feel;
then she rushed from the room, fol-
lowed by Hasty.
The band was playing loudly. The
din Of the night performance was
increasing. Douglas nerves were
strained to the point of breaking. He
would not let himself 60 near the win
dow. He stood by the side of the ia
BILE, his fists clinched, and tried to
beat back the impulse that was pulling
him toward the door. Again and again
he set his teeth.
1t was uncertainty that gnawed at
him so. Was she Ill? Could she need
him? Was she sorry for having left
him? Would she be glad If he went
for her and brought her back with
him? He recalled the hysterical note
in her behavior the day that she went
away-how she had pleaded, only
few moments before Jim came, never
to be separated from him. Had she
really cared for Jim and for the old
life? Why had she never written?
Was she ashamed? Was she sorry for
what she had done? What could it
mean? He threw his hands above his
head with gesture of despair. A mo-
ment later he passed out into the night.

OOuSlaS ndu nelu n1mSelI more ana
more aloof from the day of Pollys dis
appearance. He expressed no opinion
about the deacons or their recent dis
approval Of him. He avoided meeting
them oftener than duty required, and
Strong felt so uncomfortable and
tongue tied in his presence that he, too,
was glad to make their talks as few
as possible.
Nothing was said about the pastors
plans for the future or about his con-
tinued connection with the church, and
the inquisitive sisterhood was on the
point Of exploding from an overac-
emulation of unanswered questions
He delivered his sermons conscien-
tiously. called upon his poor. listened
to the sorrows real and fancied, of his
parishioners and shut himself up with
his books or walked alone on the hill
behind the church.
He had been absent all day when
Mandy looked out on the circus lot
for the dOZenth time and saw that the
afternoon performance was closing. 1t
had driven her to desperation to learn
that Miss Polly was not in the parade
that morning and to know that the
pastor had made no effort to find out
about her. For weeks both she and
Hasty had hoped that the return of
the circus might bring Polly back to
them, but now 1t was nearly night
and there had been no word from her.
Why didn't she come running in to see
them. as Mandy had felt so sure she
would? Why had the pastor stayed
away on the hills all day?
Unanswered questions were always
an abominatiOn to Mandy, so finally
she drew quarter from the knotted
Bingham rag that held her small wad
Of savings and told Hasty to Ego long
to de show an find out bout Miss
Polly"
She was anXiously waiting for him
when Deacon Strong knocked at the
door for the second time that after
noon.
ID, ''Is Mr.. Douglas back yet?' he asked
''No sab, he amt" said Mandy very
shortly. She felt that Strong and Ell
version had been ''a-tryin' to spy on de
parson all day." and she resented their
visits more than she usually did.
"What time are you expectin' him?
Il don't nebber spec Massa Doug
las till sees him."
Strong grunted uncivilly and went
down the steps. She saw from the
window that he met Elverson in front
Of the church.
"Dey sure am a-meanin' trouble"
she mumbled.
The band had stopped playing; the
last Of the audience had struggled
down the street. She opened the door
and stood on the porch; the house
seemed to suffocate her. What was
keeping Hasty?
He came at last, but Mandy could
tell from his gait that he brought I'M
