Polly was utterly unconscious Of the
unfriendly 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
a little longer. She was making up a
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. IT'S a new game
You put two here. and two here
and
81 don't care to know" The widow
turned away and pretended to talk tt
Julia.
"Ohv' gasped Polly, stunned by the
widows rebuff.
She stood with bowed head in the
center of the circle. The blood flew
from her cheeks; then she turned to go
Douglas stepped quickly to her side

them. "Is this game that grownups
can play?"
why, yes. Of course"
Good! Then I'll make up your set

Excuse me-" he added, turning to the
deacons. Then he ran with her out
through the trees.
The deacons and the women stared
at each other, aghast.
"Well, what do you think Of thatw

skirts of the girl and the black figure
Of the man disappeared up the path.

"Know what" yelled the excited
deacon. Mrs. Willoughby floundered.
Miss Perkins rushed into the breach.
"Well, if was deacon of this church

shook their heads at his hopeless stu
pidity.
Strong was not accustomed to crit
icism. He prided himself upon his
acuteness and was, above all, vain
about his connection with the church.
He looked from one woman to the 9TH
er. He was seething with helpless
rage. The little deacon at his side
coughed nervously. Strong's pent-9p
wrath exploded. "Why didn't you tell
me, Elverson, that people was a-talk-
imp he roared in the frightened mans
ear.
Elverson sputtered and stammered,
but nothing definite came of the
sounds; so Strong again turned to Miss
Perkins:
"What is goin' ong" he demanded.
The spinster shrugged her shoulders
and lifted her eyes heavenward, know
ing that nothing could so madden the
deacon as this mysterious Inference Of
things too terrible TO mention. She
was right. Strong uttered n desperate

the garden with reckless strides.
Mrs. Willoughby watched him with

looked at the set faces Of the women
and attempted weak apology for the

was very neutrality-suspicious. she

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.
Strong and Elverson crossed the
yard. still in search of the pastor.
They turned at the sound Of futtering
leaves and beheld Douglas, hatless,
tearing down the path. Strong called
to him, but Douglas darted quickly be-
hind the hedge. The deacons looked at
one another in speechless astonish-
ment. Presently the silence was
broken by the distant voice of Polly
counting from one to a hundred. The
secret was out! The pastor, leader
Of the church. was playing hide and
seek!
'Mr. Douglass shouted Strong when
his breath had returned.
Hush, hushw whispered Douglas,
looking over the hedge. He peeped
cautiously about him, then came to-
ward the men with a sigh Of relief.
"It's all right She has gone the other
way"
It'll be a good thing for you II she
never comes back" said Strong, and
Douglas quick ear caught an unpleas-
ant meaning in his tone.

low. steady voice.

Indeed! And why?' The color was

becoming very square.
Because she's been here long

"Well, it don't make no difference
