circus horse, and grows to womanhood

interests Polly. Jim reproves her for
her reckless riding. III-Polly urges
Bingo to unprecedented speed and
falls. Toby and Jim carry the injured
girl to the parsonage nearby. IV-The
Rev. John Douglas, much to Deacon
Elverson's disgust, takes Polly into the
parsonage. Toby and "Muvver Jim"
are received kindly by Douglas, who
has placed Polly in charge of his col
ored servant, Mandy. Douglas prom
ises to care for the girl until she is well.
V-When Polly becomes conscious she
declares that she must rejoin the circus
at once. "Are you a sky pilot ?" she
asks the minister. Her mother was
killed riding a circus horse, and her
father .'got his'n in a lions cage"
The minister reads to her about Ruth
and Naomi. and Polly says, 81 guess
I'd like to hear you SPIEL" VI-Doug-
las offends Deacon Strong by defending
boys who play baseball on Sunday.
VII-Polly recover her health, but is
saddened by the death of Toby. Jim
sends the news and promises to keep in
touch with her. VIII-Polly recovers
from the blow dealt her by Toby's
death. She has ceased using slang and
is educating herself under Douglas
guidance. She endeavors to improve
Mandy's grammar. TX Deacons
Strong and Elverson reproye the pas
tor for harboring the circus girl. Doug
las declares he is only doing his duty.
Strong declares that the girl must go.
Douglas defies him. X-Douglas sug-
gests to Polly that she go to a semin-
airy. Her quotation "And Ruth said,
'Entreat me not to leave thee, !" re-
veals to both the fact that they love
each other. Douglas takes her In his
arms and tells her that she is never to
leave him.
