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"
There were many callers at the par"

now at fever heat about the pastor.
"Will he try to see herr" Has he for

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 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 mef" has
