the law makers themselves are unable
to keep track of the different changes
and amendments, the last session hav-
ing Inadvertently left an open season
for quail in this region. These birds
are not yet sufficiently we'll establish

N1OUGLAS was turning toward
the house when the Widow
Wiloughby came through the
u wicker gate to the left of the
parsonage, carrying bunting for the
social. She was followed by Miss Per
kins with a bucket of pickles, which
Mandy promptly placed OF top of Mrs.
Elverson's ice cream. The women ex-
planned that they had come to put the
finishing touches to the decorations.
If anything was needed to increase
Mandy's dislike of the widow 1t was
this announcement.
Mrs. Willoughby was greatly wor-
ried because her children had not been
home since the afternoon school SEES
sion. Upon hearing that they were
with Polly she plainly showed her dis
pleasure, and Douglas dispatched
Mandy for them. She saw that her
implied distrust of Polly had annoyed
him, and she was about to apologize
when two of the deacons arrived on
the scene. also carrying baskets and
parcels for the social.
Strong led the way. He always led
the way and always told Elverson
what to think, They had been talking
excitedly as they reared the parson
age, for Strong disapproved of the re
cent changes viii h the pastor had
made In the church service. He and
Douglas had clashed more than once
since the baseball argument. and the
6Aa44~ A41 .o.ls-~1 -
that he had met a will quite as strong
as his own. His failure to bend the
parson to his way of thinking was
making him irritable and taking his
mind from his business.
Can you beat that.' he would ex-
claim as. he turned away from some
disagreement with Douglas, his temper
rufied for the day.
Polly was utterly unconscious OF the
u~nfriendly glances cast In her direction
as she came running into the garden
leading the widows two children.
She nodded gayly to Julia Strong, who
was coming through the gate, then
hurried to Mrs. Willoughby, begging
that the children be allowed to remain
u IILfe longer. she was making up u
new game, she said, and needed Willie
and Jennie for the set.
my children do not play in promis-
cuous games" said the widow icily.
"Oh, but this isn't pro-pro-pro"-
Polly stammered. Its a new game.
You put two here. and two here,

II don't care to know The widow
turned away and pretended to talk to
Julia.
"Oh?' gasped Polly. stunned by the
widows rebuff.
She stood with bowed head in the
from her cheeks; then she turned to go.
Douglas stepped quickly to her side.

She found nc words at this point. and
Strong. now thoroughly reused, de-
clared that the congregation should
have no further cause for gossip and
went out quickly in search of Douglas.
When Strong vas gone Elverson
looked at the set faces of the women
and attempted a weak apology for the
pastor. ~ dare say the young man
was very neutrality-suspicious. she
came"
"Lonelyr' snapped Miss Perkins.
"Well, If he was lonely l didn't know
it."
The deacon excused himself nerv-
ously and went to join Strong.
The women gathered up their bunt-
ings and retired with bland smiles to
the Sunday school room. feeling that
they had accomplished enough for the
time being.

was a fortunate thing that Willie in

Mandy's temper was becoming very

been sent to fetch her. Polly offered
to help Mandy with the decorations.

running away hand In hand with him
