"It's all fired good of you to take ber In," he said, "but It's tonsb to lose her. Good night!" He banged the door and clat tered down the steps. Jim wailed. He was trying to find words in which to tell his gratitude. None came, and he turned to go, with a short "Goodby." "Good night, Jim," said the pastor. He crossed the room and took the big fellow's hand. - "Much obliged," Jim answered gruff ly. It was his only polite phrase, and he had taught Polly to say It. Doug las waited outll Jim had passed down the steps, then turned to Toby, who Still lingered near the table. "You'll tell her Jiow it was me an' Jim had to leave" her without sayln' goodby: won't you, sir?" Toby pleaded. "Yes, Indeed," Douglas promised. "I'll jes" put this little bit of monej Into her satchel." He picked up the little brown bag that was to have been Polly's birthday gift. "Me an' Jim will be sendln' her more soon." "You're going to miss her, I'm afraid," Douglas' said, feeling an ir resistible desire to gain the old man's confidence. "Lord bless you, yes, sir!" Toby an swered, turning upon hiin eagerly. 'Me an' Jim has been father an' moth- "JTo tnotter tehat luvppene, the show hat to go on." er an' jes' about everything to that little one. She wasn't much blgger'n a handful of peanuts when we begun a-worryin about her." ."Well, Mandy will do the worrying now." Douglas laughed. "She's been dying for a chance to mother some body all along. Why, she even tried it on me." "I noticed as how some of those church people seemed to look kinder queer at me," said Toby, "an 1 been a-wonderin' If mebbe they might feel the same about her." "Oh, they're all rightr Douglas as sured him. "They'll be ber friends In no time." "She's fit for 'em. sir," Toby plend- ed. "She's good, clean Into the mid dle of ber heart" Tm sure of It," Douglas answered.

Mandy tiptoed softly down the stairs. She placed one pudgy forefinger on her Hps and rolled her large eyes skyward. "Dat sure am an angol chile straight from beb ben," she whispered. "She done got a face jes' like a little flower." "Straight from heaven," Douglas re peated as she crossed softly to the ta ble and picked up the satchel and coat "You can leave the lamp, Mandy. I must finish tomorrow's sermon." She turned at the threshold and shook her head rather sadly as she saw the Imprint of the day's cares on the young pastor's face. "Yo' mus' be pow'ful tired," she said. "No, no; not at all. Good night, Mandy." She closed the door behind her, and Douglas was alone. He gazed absent ly at the pages of his uufllshed ser mon as he tapped his idle pen on the desk. "The show has got to go on," he repeated, and far up the hillside with the slow moving wagons Jim and Toby looked with unseeing eyes into the dim, starlit distance and echoed the thought "The show has got to go on." CHAPTER V. HE church bells were ringing their first warning for the morning service when Mandy peeped Into the spare bedroom for the second time and glanced cau tiously at the wisp of hair that bespoke a feminine head somewhore between the covers and the llttiu white pillow on the four poster bed. There was no sound from the sleeper, so Mandy ven tured across the room on tiptoe and raised the shades. The drooping boughs of autumn foliage lay shim' inering against the wiudow panes, and through them might be seen the gray outline of the church. Mandy glanced again toward the bed to make sure that the burst of sunlight had not wakened the Invalid, then crossed to a small, rickety chair laden with the discarded finery of the little circus rider. "Lawdy sakes!" she cried, holding up a spangled dress admiringly, "Ain't dat beautiful!" She drew near the mirror, attempting to see the reflec tion of the tinsel and chiffon against her very ample background of ging ham and avoirdupois. "You'd sure be a swell nigger wld dat on, honey!" Bhe chuckled to herself. "Wouldn't dem deacons holler if dey done see datr The picture of the deacons' aston ishment at such a spectacle so grew upon Mandy that she was obliged to cover her generous mouth to shut in her convulsive laughter lest it awaken the little girl in the bed. She crossed to the old fashioned bureau which for many months had stood unused against the wall. The drawer creaked as she opened it to lay away the gay, span gled gown. "It'll be a mighty long time afore she puts on dem t'lngs ag'ln," she said, with a doubtful shake of her large, round lioad, Then sne went Data to me tuair u picked up Polly's sandals and exam-1 lned the beadwork with a great deal of Interest "Lawdy, lawdy r she cried as she compared the size of the san dals to that of her own rough, wort shoes.

"This ain't the show!" she cried suddenly. "Lor" bless you, no! Dis ain't no show."' Mandy answered, and she laughed reassuringly. "Then where am I?" Polly asked, half breathless with bewilderment. "Nebber you mind 'bout dat" was Mandy's unsatisfactory reply. ''But I do mind," protested Polly, trying to raise herself to a sitting po sition. "Where's the bunch V "De wat?" asked Mandy in surprise. "The bunch Jim and Toby an' the rest of the push!" "Lor' bless you," Mandy exclaimed, "dey's done gone 'long wld de circus hours ago." "Gone! Show gone!" Polly cried In amazement. "Then what am I doln' here?" "Hoi' on dar, honey! Hoi' on!" Mandy cautioned. "Don't yon 'cite yo'se'f." "Let me alone!" Polly put aside the arm that was t; ; lng to place a shawl around her. "I got to get out of here." "Youse got plenty o' time for dat" Mandy answered. "Jes' yo' waft awhile." "I can't wait, an' I won't!" Polly shrieked, almost beside herself with anxiety. "I got to get to the next burg-Wakefleld, ain't It? What time Is it? Let me alone! Let me go!" she cried, struggling desperately. The door opened softly, and the young pastor stood looking down at the picture of the frail, white faced child and ber black, determined cap tor. "Here, here! What's all this about? be asked In a firm tone, though evi dently amused. "Who are you?" returned the girl as she shoved herself quickly back against the pillows and drew the cov ers close under her chin, looking at him oddly over their top. "" "She done been cuttln' up souieflu awful!" Mandy explained as she tried to regain enough breath for a new en counter. ' "Cutting up? You surprise me, Miss Polly," he said, with mock seriousness. "How do you know I'm Polly?" the little rebel asked, ber eyes gleaming large and desperate above the friendly covers. "If you will be very good and keep very quiet I will try to tell you," be said as he crossed to the bed. - "I won't be quiet not for nobody," Polly objected, with a bold disregard of doable negatives. "I got to get a move. If you ain't gotn' to help me you needn't butt In." "I am afraid I can't help yon to go , Just yet," Douglas replied. He was be-, ginning to perceive that there were, tasks before him other than the snap-; ing of Polly's character. "What are you tryln to do to me, anvhow?" she asked as she shot a glance of suspicion from the pastor to Mandy. "What am I np against?" "Don't yon be scared, honey," Man dy reassured ber. "Youse Jes' as safe here as yon done been in de circus. "Safer, we bope, Douglas added, with a smile. "Are you two bug?" Polly ques tioned as she turned ber bead from ... .

"Mandy and' I will help the time to go." "I recollect now," Tolly faltered without hearing him. "It was the last hoop. Jim seemed to have a bunch I was goin' to be in for trouble when I went into the ring. Bingo must 'a' felt It too. He kept a-pullln' and a-jerkln' from the start. I got myself together to make the last jump, an' I can't re member no more." Her head drooped. and her eyes closed. I wouldn't try Just now if I were yon," Douglas answered tenderly. "It's my wheel, ain't It?" Polly ques tioned after a pause. "Yoah what chile V Mandy exclaim ed as she turned from the table, where she had been rolling up the unused bandages left from the doctor's call the night before. "I say it's my creeper, my paddle,' Polly explained, trying to locate a few of her many pains. "Gee, but that hurts!" She tried to bend her ankle. "Is It punctured r "Only sprained," Douglas answered, striving to control his amusement at the expression on Mandy's puzzled face. "Better not talk any more about It" "Ain't anything the matter with my tongue, Is there?" she asked, turning her head to one side and studying him quizzically, "I don't think there is," be replied good naturedly. "How did I come to fall In here any how?" she asked as she studied the wans ot the unramiuar room. "We brought you here." "It's a swell place," she conceded grudgingly. "We are comfortable," be admitted as a telltale smile again hovered about bis Hps. He was thinking of the changes that be must presently make In Miss Polly's vocabulary. "Is this the big top?" she asked. "The what?" he stammered. "The main tent" she explained. "Well, no; not exactly. It's going to be your room now, Miss Polly.1 "My room! Gee! Think of that!" she gasped as the possibility of ber actually baring a room all of ber own took bold of her mind. "Much obliged," she said, with a nod, feeling that something was expected of ber. She knew no other phrase of gratitude than the one "Muvver Jim" and Toby had taught ber to say to the manager when she received from him the first stick of red and white striped candy. "You're very welcome," Douglas an swered, with a ring of genuine feeling In his voice. "Awful quiet, ain't It?" she ventured after a pause. "Guess that's what woke me up." " Douglas laughed good naturedly at the thought of quiet as a disturber and added that he feared It might .at first be rather dull for ber, bat that Jim and Toby would send ber news of the circus and that she could write to them as soon as she was better. "I'll have to be a heap better 'an I ever was 'fore 1 can write much," Polly drawled, with a whimsical llt- tte smile. t wrUe tot Joa the pastor volunteered, understanding her plight you will?"

"No, Miss Polly, I have never seen a circus," Douglas told ber, half regret fully, a sense of bis deep privation stealing upon him. "What!" cried Polly Incredulously. "Lordy, no, chile. He ain't nebber seed none ob dem t'lngs," Mandy in terrupted as she tried to arrange a few short stemmed posies In a varie gated bouquet. "Well, what do you think of that!" Polly gasped. "You're the first Rube I ever saw that hadn't" She was look ing at him as though he were a curi osity. "So I'm a Rube!" Douglas shook bis bead with a sad little smile and good naturedly agreed that he had some times feared as much. "That's what wo always calls a guy like yon," she explained Ingenuous! and added hopefully: "Well, you most 'a' seen our parade. All the pikers see that It don't cost no thin'." "I'm afraid I must also plead guilty to the charge of being a piker," Doug las admitted, half sheepishly, "for I did see the parade." "Well, I was the one on the white horse right behind the lion cage," she began excitedly. "You remember?" "It's a little confused In my mind" he caught her look of amazement "just at present" he stammered, feeling ber wrath again about to descend upon him. "Well, I'm the twenty-four sheet stand," she explained. "Sheet!" Maudy shrieked from ber corner. "Yes, tho billboards, the pictures,' Polly Hnld, growing Impatient at their persistent stupidity. "She suah am a funny talk In' thing!" mumbled Mnmly to herself as she clip ped the withered leaves from a plant near the window. "You are dead sure tbey know I ain't comln' on?" Polly asked, with a linger ing suspicion In her voice. "Dead sure." And Douglas smiled to himself as be lapsed Into ber vernacu lar. There was a moment's pause. Polly realized for the first time that she must actually readjust herself to a new or der of things. Her eyes again roved about the room. It was a cheerful place In which to be Imprisoned. Kven Polly could not deny that. The broad window at the back, with its white and pink chintz curtains on the Inside and Its frame of ivy on tho outside, spoke of singing birds and sunshine all day long, everything from the whlto cell ing to the sweet smelling matting that covered tho floor was spotlessly clean. The cane bottomed rocker near the curved window seat with Its pretty billows told of days when a convales cent might look In comfort at the gar den beneath. The counterpane, with Its old fashioned rose pattern; the little white tidies on the back of each chair and Mandy crooning beside tho . win dow all helped to make a homelike pic ture. She wondered what Jim and Toby would say If they could see her now, sitting like a queen In the midst of ber oft coverlets, wltb no need to mine even a finger to wait upon herself. Ain't It tbe limit r sbe sighed, and with that Jim and Toby seemed to drift farther away. Sbe began to ses their life apart from hers. She could picture Jim wltb bis head In bis bands. Sbe could bear his sharp orders to tbe men. He was always short with tbe others when anything went wrong with her. "I'll bet 'Muvver Jim's in tbo dnmps," she murmured as a cloud stole across the flowerlike face; then tbe tired muscles relaxed, and she eeased to rebel. "Muvver Jlraf Douglas repeated, feeUng that he must recall her to knowledge of bis presence. "That's what I call him," Tolly ex plained, "but tbo fellows call him TJlg Jim.' You might not think Jim could be a good mother Just to look at hi in. "Lordy, ma, eU. lit ofnt mMmT seed aone ob dent naoa." but be bv only sometimes yoa cant teD. bias things 'you could a real mother," sbe added, half sadly.

"An" now I'm down an' out" Polly concluded, with a sigh. "But this is nothing serious," said the pastor, trying to cheer her. "It's serious enough with a whole show a-depeudlu' ou you. Maybe you don't know bow it feels to have 'to knock off work." "Oh. yes. I do," Douglas answered quickly. "I was ill a while ago myself.

Before Douglas could think of words wltb which to defend his disapproved methods Mandy bad continued eager ly: "An den ou Sunday, when be can't go to churcb fin' preach" She got no further. ' A sharp exclamation brought both Mandy and Douglas to attention. "Preach!" Polly almost shouted. Sbe looked at him with genuine alarm this time. "That will do, Mandy," Douglas com manded, feeling an unwelcome drama gathering about bis bend. "Great Bnraum and I'.nlleyJ" Tolly exclaimed, looking at him as though he were tbe very last thing In tbe world she had ever expected to see. Are you a sky pilot?" "That's what be am, chllo."
