Strong led the way. He always led
the way and always told Elrerson
what to think. They had been talking
excitedly as tbey neared tbe parson
age, for Strong disapproved of the re
cent changes which the pastor had
made In the church service. He and
Douglas had clashed more than once
since the baseball argument, and the
deacon had realised more and more
that be had met a wlU quite aa strong
as his own. His failure to bend the
parson to his way of •M»«»g was
making him Irritable and taking his
mind from his business.
"Can you beat that!" he would ex
claim as he turned away from some
disagreement with Douglas, his temper
rufled for the day.
Polly was utterly unconscious of the
unfriendly glances cast in her direction
aa she came running Into the garden
leading the widow's two children.
She nodded gayly to Julia Strong, who
was coming through the gate, then
hurried to lira. Wllloughby, begging
that the children be allowed to remain
a little longer. She waa making up a
new game, she said, and needed Willie
and Jennie for the set
"My children do not play In promis
cuous games," said tbe widow Idly.
"Oh, but this Isn't pro-pro-pro"—
Polly stammered. "It's a new game.
You put two here, and two here,
I don't care to know." Tbe widow
turned away and pretended tt talk to
Julia.

Polly,

shook their heads at his hopelesa stu
pidity.
Strong waa not accustomed to crit
icism. He prided himself upon his
acutenees and waa, above all, vain
about his connection with the church.
He looked from one woman to the oth
er. He waa wetting with helpless
"Go?" echoed Douglas.
"Yes, alr-e-bob. We've made up out
Binds to that"
"And who do you mean by 'we?*"
"The members of this congregation,"
replied 8trong impatiently.
"Am I to understand that you are
speaking for them?" There was a
deep flown between tbe young pas
tor's eyes. He was beginning to be
perplexed.
"Yes, and aa deacon of this church."
"Then as deacon of this church you
tell the congregation for me that that
Is my affair." I
"Your affair," shouted Strong, "when
that girl la Uvln' under the church's
roof, eatin' the church's bread!" I
"Just one moment! You don't quite
understand. I am minister of this
thurch, and for that position I receive
or am supposed to receive a salary to
live on and this paraonage, rent free,
to live in. Any guests that I may have
here are my guests and not guests of
the church. Remember that please."
There waa an embarrass log silence.
The deacons recalled that the pastor's
salary waa slightly In arrears. Elver
son coughed meekly. Strong started.
"Yon keep out of this, Blverson!" be
cried. "I'm runnin' this affair, and I
ain't forgettln' my duty nor the par
ton's."
"I shall endeavor to do my duty as
I see it" answered Douglas, turning
away and dismissing the matter.
"Your duty la to your church," thun
dered Strong.
"You're right about that, Deacon
Strong," answered Douglas, wheeling
about sharply, "and my duty to tbe
church Is reason enough for my acting
exactly aa I am doing In this case."
"Is your duty to tbe church the only
reason you keep that girl here?"
"No there are other reasons."
"I thought so."
I "You've heard ber story—you must
have heard. She waa left with me by
I an old clown who belonged In tbe cir
cus where she worked. Before be died
be asked me to look after ber. She
has no one else. I shall certainly do
I so."
"That waa when she waa hurt She's
I well now and able to go back where
ahe came from. Do you expect us to
have our young folke assodatln' with
1 a circus ridln' girl?'
1
that's It!" cried the natter, with
NuimcMfur
a pitying look. "You thldk this child
la unlit for your homes because ahe
waa once In a circus. For some rea
son clrcua to you spella crime. You
call yourself a Christian, Deacon
Strong, and yet you Insist that I send
a good. Innocent girl back to a life
which you say is sinful. I'm ashamed
of you. Strong—I'm ashamed of you!"
"That talk don't do no good with
me!" roared Strong. He was desperate
at being accused of an un-Chrlstlan at
titude.
"I ain't askln' you to send her back
to tbe circus. I don't care where yon
send her. Get her away from here
that'a all."
"Not so long as she wishes to stay."
"You won't?" Strong saw that be
must try a new attack. He came done
to Douglaa and
spoke

"Well, If be was lonely I didn't know
1
It."
Tbe deacon excused himself nerv
ously and went to Join Strong.
The women gathered up their bunt
ings and retired with bland amlles to
tbe Sunday achool room, feeling that I
tbey had accomplished enough for the
time being.
Strong and Blverson crossed the
yard, still In search of. the pastor.
They turned at the sound of fluttering
leavee and beheld Douglas, hatless,
tearing down the path. Strong called
to him, but Douglas darted quickly be
hind tbe hedge. Tbe deacona looked at
one another In apeechless astonish
ment Presently the ellence was
broken by the distant voice of Polly
counting from one to a hundred. The
aocret was outl The pastor, a leader
of the church, was playing hide and
oeek!
"Mr. Douglas!" shouted Strong when
his breath had returned.
"Hush, hush!" whispered Douglas,
looking over tbe hedge. He peeped
cautiously about him, then came to
ward tbe men with a sigh of relief.
"Ifs all right She baa gone the other
way."
"It'll be a good thing for you If abo
never comea back," said Strong, and
Douglas' quick ear caught an unpleas
ant moaning In his tone.
"What's that?" tbe pastor asked In a
low, steady voice.
"We don't like some of the things
that are-goln' on here, and I want to
talk .to you about 'em."
"Very well, but aee If you can't talk
in a lower key."
"Never mind about tbe key!" shout
ed Strong angrily.
"But I do mind." Something in his
eyes made the deacon lower his voice.
"We want to know how much longer
that girl Is goln' to stay here."
"Indeed! And why?" The color was
leaving Douglas' face and his Jaw was
bscomlng very equate.
"Because ehe's been here long
enough."
"I don't agree with you there."
"Well, It don't make no difference
whether you do or not She's got to

gling and sputtering when Strong in
terrupted Impatiently.
"It makes no difference whether we
believe It or not We're goln' to do
our duty by the church, and that girl
must leave or"—
"Or I must" Douglaa pieced out
Strong's phrase for himself. "That
threat doesn't frighten me at all, dea
con. After what you have said I
should refuse to remain In this
church"—the deacon stepped forward
eagerly—"were It not that I realise
more than ever before how much you
need me, how much you Ignorant nar
row minded creatures need to be
taught the meaning of true Christian
ity." The deacon waa plainly disap
pointed.
"Is It possible?" gasped Blverson
weakly.
"Well, what are you goln' to do
about it?" asked Strong when be
could trust himself to speak again.
"I shall do what is best for Miss Pol
ly," said the pastor quietly, but firmly.
He turned away to show that tbe
Interview was at an end. Strong, fol
lowed him. Douglas pointed to tbe
gate with a meaning not to be mis
taken. "Good afternoon, deacon."
Strong hesitated. He looked at the
pastor, then at the gate, then at the
pastor again. "I'll go," he shouted,
"but It ain't tbe end!" He slammed
the gate behind him.
"Quite so, quite so," chirped Elver
son, not having the slightest Idea of
what he was saying. He saw the
frigid expression on tbe pastor's face
he coughed behind his hat and fol
lowed Strong.
CHAPTER X.
OUGLAS dropped wearily on to
the rustic bench. He sat with
drooped head and unseeing
eyes. Ho did not bear Polly as
she scurried down the path, her arms
filled with autumn leaves. She glanc
ed at him, dropped the bright colored
foliage and slipped quickly to the
nearest tree. "One, two, three for
Mr. John!" she cried as she patted the
huge brown trunk.
"Is that you,- Polly?" he asked ab
sently.
"Now it's your turn to catch me."
she said, lingering near the tree. The
pastor was again lost in thought.
"Aren't you going to play any more?"
There was a abade of disappointment
In her voice. She came alowly to his
side.
"Sit here, Polly," he answered grave
ly, pointing to a place on the bench.
"I want to talk to you."
"Now I've done something wrong,"
she pouted. She gathered up her gar
lands and brought them to a place
near his feet, ignoring the seat at bis
side. "You might Just ss well tell me
and get It over."
"Yon couldn't do anything wrong,"
bo answered, looking down, at her.
"Oh, yea, I could, and
with a marked
Insinuation. "If you was a friend to
the girl, you wouldn't want the whole
congregation a-polntln' Angers at ber."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that you're Uvln' here alone
with ber and it looks bad—bad for the
girl and bad for you—and folks Is
talkin'."
"Are you trying to tell me that my
people arc evil minded enough to think
that 1"— Douglas stopped. He could
not frame the question. "I don't be
lieve it," he concluded shortly.
"You'll be made to believe It It you
don't get rid of that girt."
"Do you believe it?" He turned
upon the little man at his side. "Do
you believe it Blverson?"
Blverson had been so accustomed to
Strong monopolising the conversation
that he had become hopelessly lost as
the discussion went on, and the sudden
appeal to him all but paralysed his
power of speech. He was still gur-

how to broach tbe subject tbat In Jus
tice to her must bo discussed.
"Some leaves to make garlands for
tbe social," Polly answered more cheer
fully. "Would you mind holding this?"
She gave him one end of a string of
"Where are the children?"
"Gone home."
"You like the children very much,
don't you, Polly?" Douglas waa striv
ing for a path that might lead them to
tbe subject that was troubling him,
"Oh, no, I don't like them I love
them." She looked at him with tender
*yee.
"You're the greatest baby of all." A
pussled line came between his eyes as
ho studied ber more closely. "And
yet you're not such a child, are you,
Polly? You're quite grown up—almost
a young lady." He looked at her from
a strange, unwelcome point of view.
She was all of that as she sat at bis
feet yearning and slender and fair, at
the turning of her seventeenth year.
"I wonder how you would like to go
away"—her #yca met hla In terror—
"away to a great achool," he added
quickly, flinching from the very first
hurt that he bad Inflicted, "where there
are a lot of other young ladles."
"Is it a place where you would be?"
8he looked up at him anxiously. She
wondered If his "show" was about to
"move on."
"I'm afraid not" Douglas answered,
smiling In spite of his heavy heart
"I wouldn't like any place without
you," she said decidedly and seemed
to consider the subject dismissed.
"But if it was for your good," Doug
las persisted.
"It could never be for my- good to
leave you."
"But Just for a little while," he
pleaded. How was she ever to under
stand? 'How could he take from her
the sense of security that he had pur
posely taught her to feel In his house?
"Not even for a moment" Polly an
swered, with a decided shake of her
head.
"But you must get ahead in your
studies," he argued.
She looked at him anxiously. She
was beginning to be alarmed at his
persistence.
"Maybe I've been playing too many
periscuous games."
"Not periscuous, Polly, promiscuous."

"Do you remember the part that yon

nodded. He was thinking how can
free they were that day. How Impos
sible such problems as the present one
would have seemed then! "I knew

It's our next Sunday school lesson."
"86 It Is."
"Do you think now that It would bi

up into his troubled face.

then tried to turn her mind toward
other things. "Come, now let's find

Ruckled as she disappeared down tbe
walk to the Sunday school room.
Polly stood motionless where Mandy
had left ner. She hardly knew which
Fay to turn. She was happy, yet
afraid. She felt like kinking upon her
knees and beggtng'God to be good to
ber, to help her. She who had once
been so Independent so sejf relfiuit
&9w felt the need of dlr&$lon ftom

important on his mjnd.
"It's do big one from de circus," be
whispered excitedly.
"The big one?'
"You know—de one what brung you."
"You don't mean"— Polly's question
was answered by Jim hlipself, who
had followed Hasty quickly through
the gate. Their arms were Instantly
about each other. Jim forgot Hasty
and every ono in the world except
Polly, and neither of them notice^,the
horrified Miss Perkins and tne Widow
Wllloughby, who had been crossing the
yard on their way from the Sutitfa)
school room with Julia.
'Where thou dlest will I die.'» Her
arms went out blindly.
"Oh, you won't scud mo away, will
you?" she sobbed. "I don't want to
learn anything else Just—except—from
you." She covered her face and
Shipped, a little broken heap, at his
feet.
In an Instant tbe pastor's strong

was supporting her. "You shan't go

"Pro-mis-cuous," she repeated bait
fngly. "What docs that mean?"
"Indiscriminate." He rubbed hie
forehead as he saw the puzzled Ioob
on her face. "Mixed up," he ex
plained, more simply.
"Our game wasn't mixed up." Slw
was tlrfuklng of the one to which the
widow had objected. "Is It promiscu
ous to catch somebody?"
"It depends upon whom you catch,'
he answered, with a dry, whimsical
smile.
"Well, I don't catch anybody but the
children." She loo! ed up at him wltt
serious, inquiring eyes.
"Never mind, Polly. Your games
aren't promiscuous." She did not heat
him. She was searching for ber book
"Is this what you are looking for?"
he asked, drawing the missing artlclc

never!"
A
new purpose bad come into bis

and he knew that the fight which he
