She tried to think of new dishes to tempt tils appetite aud shook her head sadly ns she bore tho untested food back to the kitchen. Hhe sometimes found u portfolio of drawings lying open upon bis study ta ble. She remembered tile zeal with which be bail phi lined to remodel the church and parsonage when lie lirst entile to them, how Ills enthusiasm had gradually died for luck of encourage ment and how lit 1 had at last put his hooks lit a cupboard, where ihey grew dusty from long neglect. Kite mar veled at their reappearance now. hut something In his set, faraway look made her afraid to Imiulre. Thus she went on from day to day, growing more Impatient with Hasty and more alient with the pastor. Mandy needed humor and ooinpa'J- lonshlp to oil the wheels of her hum- ' drum life. There ivas no more laugh- : ■ter In flic house, unit she began to droop. Polly had been away from the parson- | age a month when the complacency of the village was’agalu upset by the ar rival of tlu> "(irt'iti American (.’Irens." There were many'" callers at the par sonage tlint day, for. speculation was now at fever heat tijioiit the pastor. "Will he try to see lick?" "Has he for gotten her?" and "What did he ever find In her';” were a few of the ninny questions, that the women were asking encli other. Now that the cause of their envy was removed they would gladly have reinstated thf* pastor ns their Idol. for. like all truly feminine souls, they could not hear to seen man unhappy without wishing to comfort him, imr happy unless they were the direct cause of his stnto. "Hqw dare nny man he happy without me?" has been the cry of each woman since live was created to mate with Adam. Douglas had held himself more nnd more aloof from the day of Polly's dis appearance. 'He expressed no opinion about the deacons or tludr rocent dis approval of him. He avoided meeting tlfem oftener than duty required, uml Strong felt so nneomfortahle unit tongue lied In Ills presence that he, too, ivns glad lo make their talk*, ns few os possible. Nothing was said about the pastor’s plans for the future or atsnit Ids con tinued connection with the church, and the 'Inquisitive sisterhood Was on tile point of exploding from nn ovcrnc- cumulatlon of uifiinswercd questions. He delivered Ills attritions consclen- | tlousl.v, culled upon his po'or. listened | to the'sorrows, real and fancied. f>f his parishioners and shut ldniself up with Ills books or walked alone on the hm behind the church. He Imd been absent all day when Mandy looked out on Hie circus lot for the dozenth time nnd saw that the afternoon performance was * lo-lug. it had driven her to desperation to leant that Mis* Polly was not !n the parade that morning nnd to know that tlu- pastor had made no effort to find out about her. For weeks both she and Hasty had hoped that the return of the circus might bring Polly hack to them, but now It was nearly night nml there had been no word from her. Why didn't she come running In to see Ihetn, ns Mandy had felt re sue' she! would? Why had the past nr stayed i away on the hills all day? I'nuiiswored questions were always ] an abomination to Mandy, so finally ; site drew n quarter from the knotted j gingham rag that held her small ivad of savings and told Hasty to "go 'long j to dc show an' find out 'bout Miss Polly." She was anxiously wail lag for him when Deacon Strong knocked at the door for tho second time that after noon. "Is Mr. Douglaa hack yet'" he asked. "No, sail, lie ain't," said Mandy very shortly. She felt that Strong and Kl- verson had been "a-lryln' to spy on do parson all day." and she resented their visits more than she usually did. "What time are you e_\pc tl!i' him?" “I don’t neliher spec' Mnssa Doug las till I sees him." Strong grunted uncivilly and went down the steps, She saw from the window that ho met r.lvorsoj) In front of 11)0 church. "Day sure am n-meanln' trouble." she mumbled. Tho hand tin<1 stopped playing: the last of tho audience had straggled down the street. She opened the door aud stood on ttie porch; the house seemed to suffocate her. What was keeping Hasty? lie eame at last, hut Mandy could (i'll from Ills gait that ho hn tight un welcome knows. “Ain't she dar?" “She's n-tvnhhelln* wld ’em. Mandy. but she didn't done ride " “See lien It, Hasty Jones, Is dat ere chile sick?" "1 don' rightly know." raid Hasty. “A great big man, what worod clothes like a gemmen, coined out wld a whip In his hand an' says as Imw lie's 'bilged to 'noutice nnuddev fit I in Miss Polly's place. An’ den he says as how tie udiler gyl was jes' as good, an' den pvor'body look disappointed like, an' den out conics do udder gal on it ho$s an' do tricks, an' 1 ain't heard no more 'bout Miss Polly." "She's sick, tint's what I says," Man dy declared excitedly, "an" somebody's got to d<’ somethin'!" "I done all I knotted." drawled Has ty. fearing that Mandy was regretting her -twenty-five cent investment. "Go 'loug out an’ fix up dat 'ere kitchen fire," was Mnndy's Impatient reply. "I got to keep dem vtttels warm for Massa Joliu." She wished to he alooe, so that she could think of some way to get hold of Polly.
