Polly expected every moment that
Oscar would reach out for the pail.
and. though with bad grace, he'd give
her the milk just the same. She nd
geted In her chair and drew q long
slgh-he was staring at her In such a
peculiar manner from under his heavy
hrows.
Why had he not noticed before that
Polly Hopkins was so pretty. Oscar
wondered. and a slow smile parted his
lips. POIIy's eyes lowered. and the
long dark Iashes only added TO Ben
nett's sudden admiration. A quick
drawn breath slipped audibly past the
mans teeth. Pollyop sensed In his at
tItude toward her a new quality that
she recognized intuitlvely as danger
Gus. To bring his attention back to
the purpose OF her visit. she ventured
TO say:

Pollyop had learned a great many

birthday one OF the things she had
found out was that oscar was a dread

right without any question. The blood
colored even her ears as she remem-

the money Il was so hard for Evelyn
