CHAPTER XII.
ONBLY days followed Tolly's
desertion of the parsonage.
Mandy went about her duties
very quietly, feeling that, the
little comments wblcb once amused the
pastor bad now become an Interruption
to thoughts In wblcb she bad no part
Be would sit for hours wltb his bead
In his hands, taking no notice of what
passed before blm. She tried to tblnk
of new dishes to tempt bis appetite lind
shook her head aadly as she bore tbe
untasted food back to tbe kitchen.
8he sometimes found a portfolio of
drawings lying open upon bis study ta
ble. She remembered tbe teal wltb
which he bad planned to remodel tbe
church and parsonage when he first
came to them, how bis enthusiasm bsd
gradually died for lack of encourage
ment and how be bad at last put his
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 wltb Hasty and more
allent wltb the pastor.
Mandy needed humor and compan
ionship to oil the wheela of her bum
drum life. There was no more laugh
ter In the bouse, and sbe began to
droop.
Polly had been away from the parson
age a month when tbe complacency of
•the village waa again upset by the ar
rival of tbe "Great American Circus."
There were many callers at tbe par
sonage that day, for 'speculation waa
now at fever heat about tbe pastor.
"Will be try to see her?" "Has he for
gotten her?" and "What did be ever
find In her?" were a few of tbe many
questions that tbe women were asking
each other. Now that tbe cause of
tbelr envy was removed they would
gladly have reinstated tbe pastor as
their Idol, for, like all truly feminine
souls, they could not bear to see a man
unhappy without wishing to comfort
him, nor bappy unless they were the
direct cause of his state. "How dare
any man be happy without me?" has
been the cry of each woman since Eve
was created to mate with Adam-
Douglas bad held himself more and
more aloof from tbe day of Polly's dis
appearance. He expressed no opinion
about the dcacons or their recent dis
approval of blm. He 11 voided meeting
them oftener than duty required, and
Strong felt so uncomfortable and
tongue tied In his preseiKi^that he, too,
was glad to make their talks as few
as possible.
Nothing was said about the pastor's
plans for tbe future or about his con
tinued connection with the church, and
the luqulsltlve sisterhood was on the
point of exploding from an overnc
cuiiHilatlon of unanswered questions.
He delivered his sarinons conscien
tiously, called upon his poor, listened
to the sorrows, real and fancied, of his
parishioners and shut himself up wltb
his books or walked alone on the hill
behind the church.
lie had been absent all day when
Mandy looked out on the circus lot
for the (lozcntb time and saw that the
afternoon performance was closing. It
had driven her to deb-iterntlou to learn
that Miss Tolly was not In the parade
that morning and to know that the
pastor had made no effort to And out
about her. For weeks both she and
Hasty had hoped that the return of
the circus might bring Polly back to
them, but now It was nearly night
and there had been no word from ber.
Why didn't she come running In to see
them, as Maudy had felt so sure she
Would? Why had the pastor stayed

Oscar H. Will & Co., Bismarck, N. D.
Unanswered questions were always
an abomination to Mandy, so Anally
she drew a quarter from the knotted
gingham rag that beld ber small wad
of savings and told Hasty to "go "long
to dc show an* And out 'bout Miss
Polly."
She was anxiously waiting for him
when Deacon Strong knocked at the
door for the second time that after
noon.
"Is Mr. Douglas back yet?" he asked.
"No, sah, he ain't," said Mandy very
shortly. She felt that Strong and El
verson had beeu "a-tryln" to spy on de
parson all day," and she resented their
visits more than she usually did.
"What time are you expectlu' hlin?"
"I don't nebber spec' Massa Doug
las til! I sees him."
Strong grunted uncivilly and went
dowu the steps. She saw from the
window that he met Elverson In front
of the church.
"Dcy sure am a-meanln' trouble."
she mumbled.
'i'lie band had stopped playing the
last of tlie audience had straggled
down the street. She opened the door
and stood on the porch the house
seemed to suffocate her. What was
keeping Hasty?
He came at last, but Mandy could
tell from his gait that be brought un
welcome knews.
"Ain't she dar?"
"She's a-trabbelln' \vlI 'em, Mand.v,
but she didn't done ride."
"See lieah. Hasty Jones, Is dat ere
chile sick?"
"1 don' rightly know," said Hasty.
"A great big man, what worod clothes
like a geinmen, corned out wid a whip
In lilg hand an' says as how he's
'bilged to 'nounce anudder gal in Miss
I'oll.v's place. An' den he says as how

everybody look disappointed like, an'
den out conies dc udder gal on a hoss
an' do tricks, an' I ain't beard no more
'bout Miss Polly."
"She's sick, dat's what I says," Mau
dy declared, excitedly, "an' somebody'«
got to do somethlu'!"
"I done all I knowed," drawled Has
ty, fearlug that Mandy was regretting
her twenty-live cent Investment. I

warm for Massa John."
She wished to be alone, so that she
could tblnk of some way to get bold
of Polly. "Dat baby faced mornln'
glory done got Mandy all wobbly 'bout
de heart," she declared to herself as
sbe crossed to the window for a sight
of tbe pastor.
It was nearly dark when she saw
blm coming slowly down the path
from the hill. She lighted tbe study
"She'* Kick, dat'e what I gays."
lamp, rearranged the cushions and
tried to make the room look cheery
for bis entrance.
"I's 'frald yo'g mighty tired," she
said.
"Oh, 110," answered Douglas absently.
"Mebbe yo'd like Mandy to be sarvin'
your supper In here tonight. It's uiore
cheerfuler."
ne crossed to the window and looked
out upon the circus lot. The flare of
the torches and the red Ore came up
to meet Ills pale, tense face, "now
like the picture of thirteen months
ago!" he thought, and old Toby's words
came back to him—"The show has got
to go on."
He longed to have done with dreams
aud speculation, to feel something tan
gible, warm and real within his grasp.
"I can't go on like this!" he cried. "I
can't!" He turned from the window
and walked hurriedly up and down the
room. Indoors or out, be found no
rest. He threw himself in the arm
chair near the table and sat buried in
thought.
Mandy came softly into the room.
She was followed by Hasty, who car
ried a tray ludeu with things that
ought to have tempted any luftu. She
motioned for Hasty to put the tray
ou the table aud then began arranging
the dishes. Hasty stole to tlie window
and peeped out at the tempting flare
of red lire.
When Douglas discovered the pres
ence of his two "faithfuls" he was
touched with momentary contrition.
"Have you had hard day with the
new gravel walk?" he asked Hasty,
remembering that be had been laying
a fresh path to the Sunday school
room.
"Jes* yo' come eat yo' supper," Man
dy called to Douglas. "Don' yo' worry
your head 'bout dat lazy husbati' ob
mine. He ain't goin' ter work 'nuff
to hurt hlsself." l'or an instant she
had beeu tempted to let the pastor
know how Hasty had gone to the cir
cus and seen nothing of Polly, but her
motherly Instluct won the day, and
sbe urged him to eat before disturbing
him wltb her own anxieties. It was
no use. He only toyed with his food
be was clearly 111 at ease and eager to
be alone. She gave up trying to tempt
bis appetite and began to lead up in
a roundabout way to the things which
she wifhed to ask.
"Dar's quite some racket out dar in
de lot toulght," she said. Douglas did
Hot answer. After a moment she went
on, "Hasty didn't work on no walk
today." Douglas looked at her quiz
zically, while Hasty, convinced that
for reasons of her own she was going
to get him Into trouble, was making
frantic motions. "He done gone ter de
circus," she blurted out. Douglas' face
became suddenly grave. Mandy saw
that she had touched an open wound.
"I Jes' couldn't stan' It, Massa John.
I bad ter find out 'bout dat angel chile."
There was a pause. She felt that he
was waiting for her to go on.
"She didn't done ride today."
He looked up with the eyes of a
dumb, persecuted animal. "Aud dc
gemrnen in de sbow didn't tell nobody
why—Jes' speaked 'bout de udder gal
taklu' lier place."
"Why didn't she ride?" cried Doug
las, In an agony of suspense.
"Dat's what I don' know, sah."
Maudy began to cry. It was the first
time In bis experience that Douglas
had ever known her to give way to
any such weakness.
Hasty came down from tbe window
and tried to put one arm about Man
dy's shoulders.
"I^eab me nlone, yo' nigger!" she ex
claimed, trying to cover her tears with
a show of auger that she did not feel
then she rushed from .the room, fol
lowed by Hasty.
The baud was playing loudly. The
diu of the night performance was
Increasing. Douglas' nerves were
strained to the point of breaking, lie
would not let himself go uear the win
dow. He stood by the side of the ta
ble, his tists cllncbcd, and tried to
beat back the impulse that was pulling
blm toward the door. Again and again
he set his teeth.
It was uncertainty that guawed at
blm so. Was she 111? Could she need
him? Was she sorry for having left
him? Would she be glad if he went
for her and brought her back with
bim? He recalled the hysterical note
in her behavior the day that she went
away—how she had pleaded, ouly a
few moments before Jim came, never
to be separated from hiiu. Had she
really cared for Jim and for the old
life? Why bad sbe uever written?)
Was she ashamed? Was sbe sonar for
wbs't~she Bad" done? What could it
mean? He threw his hands above his
bead with a gesture of despair. A mo
ment later he passed out Into tlie night.
nr=
CHAPTEK XIII.
Was slow tonight. The big
show was nearly over, yet
many of the props used In the
early part of the bill were still
unloaded.
He was tinkering absentmlndedly
with one of the wagons in the back lot,
and the men were standing about Idly
waiting for orders when Barker came
out of the main tent and called to him
sharply:
"Hey, there, Jim: What's your ex
cuse tonight?"
"Excuse for what?" Jim crossed
slowly to Barker.
"The cook tent was started half an
hour late, and the sideshow top ain't
loaded yet."
"Your wagons is ou the bum that's
what! No. 38 carries the cook tent,
an' the blacksmith has been tlukerin'
with it all dnv. Ask him what shape
It's In."
"You're always stallin'," was Bar
ker's sullen complaint. "It's the wag
ons or the blacksmiths or anything but
the truth. 1 know what's the matter,
all right."
"What do you mean by that?" asked
Jim sharply.
"I mean that all your time's took up
a-carryin' and a-fetchin' for that girl
what calls you 'Muvver Jim.'
"What have you got to say about
her?-' Jim eyed him with a threaten
ing look.
"I got a-plenty," said Barker as he
turned to snap his whip at the small
boys who had stolen Into tbe back lot
to peek under the roar edge of the
big top. "She's beeu about as much
good as a sick cat since she come back.
You saw her act last night."
"Yes," answered Jim doggedly.
"Wasn't It punk She didn't show at
all this afternoon said she was sick.
And me with all them people inside
what knowed her waitln' to see her!"
"Give her a little time," Jim pleaded.
"8be ain't rode for a year."
"Time!" shouted Barker. "Ilow much
does she want? She's been back a
month, and Instead of bracln' up she's
a-gettin' worse. There's only one thing
for me to do."
"What's that:" asked .Jim uneasily.
"I'm goin' to call her, and call her
hard."
"Look here, Barker," and Jim squared
his shoulders as lie looked steadily at
the other man, "you're boss here, and
I takes orders from you, but if I
catches you abusin' I'oll your bein'
boss won't'make no difference."
"You can't blult me!" shouted Itarker.
"I ain't bluflin'. I'm only tellin' you,"
said Jim very quietly.
"Well, you tell her to get on to her
job. If she don't, she quits that's all."
He hurried into the ring.
Jim took one step to follow him,
then stopped and gazed at the ground
with thoughtful eyes. lie, too, had
seen the change in Polly. He had tried
to rouse her. It was no use. Sho had
"Star yazin', Pollf" he asked.
looked at him blankly. "If she would
only complain," he said to himself
"If she would only get mad, anything,
anything to wake her." But she did
not complain. She went through her
dally routine very humb'y and quietly.
She sometimes wondered how Jtiu
could talk so much about her work,
but before she could answer the ques
tion her mind drifted back to other
days, to a garden and flowers, and Jim
stole away unmissed and left her with
folded hand and wide, staring eyes,
gazing Into the distance.
The memory of these times made
Jim helpless tonight. He had gone on
hoping from day to day that Barker
might not notice the "let down"' In her
work, and now the blow had fallen.
How could he tell her?
One of the acts came tumbling out
of the main tent. There was a mo
ment's confusion as clowns, acrobats
and animals passed each other on their
way to and from the ring then the lot
cleared again, and Polly eauie slowly
from the dressing tent. She looked
very different from tlie little girl
whom Jim had led away from tlie par
son's garden In a simple white frock
one month before. Iler thin, pensive
faee contrasted eddly with ber glitter
ing attire. Her hair was knotted high
on her head and intertwined with
flowers and Jewels. Her slender neck
seemed scarcely able to support its
burden. Iler short, full skirt and low
eut bodice were ablaze with white
and colored stones.
"What's on, Jim?" she asked.
"The 'leap o' death.' You got plenty
of time."
Polly's mind weut back to the girl
who answered that call a year ago.
Iler spirit seemed very near toniglii.
The baud -stopped playing. Barker
made his grandiloquent announcement
about the wonderful net about to be
seen, and her eyes wandered to the
distant church steeple, 'l'he moonlight
seemed to shun It tonight. It looked I
cold and grim and dark. She won
dered whether the solemn bell that
once called Its flock to worship had
Iteeoine as mute as her own dead heart,
She did not hear the whir of ihe great
machine Inside the tent as it plunged
through space with its girl occupant.]
These, thlmis were a port of the daily
'Imo'ciiiou of thi» notice, to said ad mini's- I Notice is hereby «l*en ^or

routine, part of the strange, vague
dream through which she must stum
ble for the rest of her life.
Jim watched her in silence. Her
face was turned from him. She had
forgotten his presence.
"Star gazin', Poll?" be asked at
length, dreading to disturb her reverie.
"I guess I was, Jim.' fehe turned to
him with a little, forced smile. He
longed to save her from Barker's
threatened rebuke.
"How you feellu' tonight?"
"I'm all right," she answered cheer
fully.
"Anything.you want?"
