By RACHEL MACK

Yesterday: Polly Chelsey ar
rives in London, where her hopes
of a share in her relatives estate
are dashed. She is hungry and
needs a shelter in her great
uncle's house.
CHAPTER II
Polly tried to make converse
ton while she supped with old
Oliver Dart, but it was hard go,
ing. To call him "Uncle Oliver
was out of the question, for ne
was addressing her as Miss CheI-
sew and so repudiating their KIN,
ship. His cold pale eyes watched
her furtively. -.
"As if | might slip the silver
salt dishes into my pocket she
thought irritably. "Or Is 1t my
manners he's critical OFF,
Her table manners were beyond
reproach, however, which must
have caused surprise to a man
who believed all Americans to be
savages. But old Oliver Dart was
finding her annoying in other
WAYS. An American village
girip' he told himself diStaStetul-
ly. He saw she lacked the graceS
that elegant English girls were
trained to have. She was strange
ly outspoken, and she laughed
ike a boy. When she walked, 1t
was with long swinging steps.
Seeing a portrait that interest,
ed her she got up and crossed
the room to look at 1t. rs that
my Grandfather Dart?" she
asked.
"It's nobody that concerns
you," answered Oliver Dart,
though il was her great-uncle, his
brother and her grandfather'S,
now dead Wherever she tried
to make contact. he thwarted her,
so that she had nothing TO which
to cling. His hostility penetrated,
as a frost penetrates the marrow
of the bones on a cold day, and
eventually she fell silent, hoping
in this way to escape his dis
pleasure.
"He's u terribly cross old man."
she decided in bewilderment. She
had told Mrs. Broggs she knew
many such at home. She saw that
she was mistaken. There was
something battling in old Oliver
Darts behavior. She did not know
that it sprang from a mind bor-
dering on madness.
While Polly was at supper Mrs.
Broggs ordered her helper, the
porter, to carry the little ,dOeSkin
trunk to a bedroom on the floor
above. Presently she came for the
girl and took her there.
AS the door closed on Polly
Chelsey, Oliver Dart shut his eyes
and put his finger tips together.
1t was thus that ne could think of
America most effectively, letting
the venomous current of his
hatred make the circuit of his
withered body while his warped
mind plotted. The coming of this
girl had fired his memory. He
recalled afresh how he had lost a
fortune when Yankee rebels had
thrown British tea into Boston
harbOr before the last rebellion.
Wounded in the purse, he had be-
come a little touched, living

she'd come on a scatter-brained

not wanted. Yet as the fog
thickened instead of lifting she

And then it was that she came
on two Americans talking earn
estly together before a decent
looking public house, standing be-
meath a creaking sign that PIC
tured a unicorn lifting paw to-
ward great yellow crown. She
knew the men were Americans
even before she heard their New
England voices, for the elder wore
chin-whiskers and clothes exactly
like her fathers, and the younger
one was like the young men who
went to sea in ships from Lyme,
or who kept store or titled farms
thereabout. Only he was hand

manner and fine dark eyes and a

The young man looked from

hand on his arm. His incredul-
Gus look brought her to her senses
and she thought wildly, "This is
a bold thing Pve done" She turn
cd on her heels and made off
through the fog in the direction
she believed Oliver Darts house
to be.
The young man named Jerry
Whitfield wondered if London ale
was too strong for him. He said
to the older man, Chef Wheeler,

of Newburyport: "Did you see

Old Chef nodded vigorously.

There were not many women
abroad, and whenever he saw one
