Polly jumped up with a boyish whis-

When she appeared again, rosy and

DanatiOn as the little car went rolling
down the white road.
The difficult man was there as she
passed. and he regarded her with his
rparent remOteness. Polly knew the
bcatiOn of the golf links, also She
knew that Mr. Homer Bainbridge
rud soon be on his way there. This,
she had learned through much inter-
Sed observation of his daily life's
routine. At a safe distance and rath-

When the waiting became ttso tire

magazine and began the latest serial.
t was remarkable after that, how the
afternoon hours flew. Mr. Homer
Ainbridge had departed from the
links to get his own big car. In ten
fifteen minutes he should pass her.
Polly, very evidently, knew little
about engines. She went on expert
mentally probing the cars tires with
apparently little success. For ca.
tine that Polly resumed her seat, her
hands upon the steering wheel. the
snail car utterly refused to move. A
bigger automobile which had been for
some time approaching, was obliged to
laIt in the roadside. This was a mar
low park passage. and the driver wish

% ahead. The driver was Homer
Banbridge.
Polly faced him with a hopeless ges-
