She put out one trembling hand to Jim and rushed quickly through the gate, laughing and sobbing hysterically and calling to blm to follow. CHATTEH XII. H7! NELY days followed Polly's desertion of the parsonage. Mandy went about ber duties very quietly, feeling that the little comments which once amused the pastor bad now become an interruption to thoughts In which she had no part He would sit for hours with bis bead In bis hands, taking no notice of what passed before blm. She tried to think of new dishes to tempt bis appetite and shook her bead sadly as she bore the untnstetr food back to the kitchen. She sometimes found- nnp&Ttfolio-of drawings lying open upon hie study ta ble. She remembered the zeal with which be bad planned to remodel the church and parsonage when he first came to them, how bis enthusiasm bad gradually died for lock of encourage ment and bow be bad at last put bis books in a cupboard, where they grew dusty from long neglect She mar veled at their reappearance now, but something In his set, faraway look made her afraid to Inquire. Thus she went on from day to day, growing more Impatient with Hasty and mora silent with the pastor. Mandy needed humor and compan ionship to oil the wheels of ber ham- drum life. There was no more laugh ter In the house, and she began to droop. Polly had been away rrou toe parson age a month when the complacency 01 tho village was again npset by the ar rival of the "Great American Circus," There were many callers at the par sonage that day, for speculation waa now at fever beat about the pastor. "Will ho try to see herf "Has be for gotten her?' and "What did he ever find In her?" were a few of the many questions that the women were asking each other. Now that the cause of their envy was removed tbey would gladly have reinstated the pastor aa tbeir Idol, for, like all truly feminine souls, they could not bear to aea a man unhappy without wishing to comfort him, nor happy unices tbey were tba direct cause of bis state. "How do re any man be happy without ma?" baa been tha ery of each woman since Eva waa created to mate with Adam. Douglas bad held himself mora and more aloof from tha day of Pollys dis appearance. Ba azpreased no opinion boat the deacona or their recent dhv tpproval of blm. ' He avoided meeting then often- than dnty required, and Strong fait " ao uncomfortable and tongue Mad in bis presence that be, too, was glad to make tbeir talk as few as possible. Nothing waa said about the pastor's plana for tba future or about bis coo Unoed connection with tba church, and tba Inquisitive sisterhood waa oa tba point of exploding from aa overao rnmulatlofl of unanswered questions.

"I dun' rightly know," said Hasty "A grout big man, what worcd clothes like a Keinmen, corned out wld a whip tu his hand an' says as bow he's 'bilged to bounce anudder gal In Miss Polly's place.

"She's sick, daf a what I says," Man dy declared excitedly, "an somebody's got to do soinethln'T" "I done all I knowed," drawled Has ty, fearing that Mandy was regretting her twenty-five cent investment. "Go 'long out an' fix np dat 'ere kitchen fire," was Mandy's Impatient reply. "I got to keep dem vlttels warm for Massa John." She wished to be alone, so that she could think of some way to get bold of Polly. "Dot baby faced morula glory done got Mandy all wobbly ton, do heart," she declared to herself a she crossed to tba window for a sight of the paator. It waa nearly dark when she saw blm coming slowly down the path from the hill She lighted the study "She sick, dot's who 1 toy. lamp, rearranged the cushions and tried to make the room look cheery for his entrance.

He crossed to tba window and looked out upon the circus" lot Tha Car of the torches and the red lira came ap to meet bis pale, tenso face. "How Ilk the picture of thirteen months ago!" be thought and old Toby's words ram back to blm "The show baa got to go on."

Mandy came softly Into the room. She was followed by Hasty, who car ried a tray laden with things that ought to have tempted any man. She motioned for Hasty to put the tray on the table and than began arranging tba dishes. Hasty stole to tba window and peeped out at the tempting oar of red lire.

He recalled the hysterical note In ber behavior tbe day that she went away how she had pleaded, only a few moments before Jim came, nover to be separated from him. Had she really cared for Jim and for the old life? Why had she never written? Was she ashamed? Was she sorry for what Bhe bad dune? What could It mean?
