Synopsis Chapter I Polly, a child
cf the circus, is brought up by Toby,
a clown, and by a boss canvasmnn
called "Muvver Jim." She learns to
ride Bingo, a circus horse, and grows
to womanhood knowing no life ex
cept that of the circus. -
Chapter II A chnwh near the cir
rus lot interests Polly Jim reproves
her for her reckless niUcp.
Chapter HI Polly urges Bingo to
unprecedented speed and falls. Toby
and Jim carry the injured girl to the
parsonage nearby.
Chapter IV The Rev. John Doug
las, much to Deacon Elverson's dis
gust, takes Polly into the parsonage.
Toby and "Muvver Jim" are receiv
ed kindly by Douglas, who has placed
'Polly in charge of his colored serv
ant, Maudy. Douglas promises to
care for the girl until she is well.
Chapter V When Polly becomes
conscious she declares that she must
rejoin the circus at once. "Are you
a sky pilot?" she asks the minister.
Her mother was killed riding a circus
horse, and her father "got his'n in a
lion's cage." The minister reads to
her about Ruth and Naomi, and Polly
says "I guess I'd like to hear you
spiel."
Chapter VI Douglas offends; Dea
con Strong by defending boys who
play baseball on Sunday.
Chapter VH Polly recovers her
health, but is saddened by the death
of Toby.- Jim sends the news and
promises to keep in touch with her.
"Massa Jotm? Mercy me! He neb
ber takes no notice ob dem t'lngs. I
done got a bran', spankln' new n 11a
paca one time, an' do you think be
bber seed it? Lawsy, no! We might
Jes' well be goin'- roun' like Mudder
Eve for all dat man know." Polly
looked disappointed. "But udder folks
Bes," Maudy continued comfortingly,
"an' yo' certainly look mighty fine.
Why, youse just as good now as yo'
was afore yo' got hurted!"
"Yes. I'm well now and able to work
again." . There was no enthusiasm in
bsr tone, for Hasty's news had made
her realize how unwelcome the old life
would be to her.
''Work! Yo' does work all de time.
My stars, de help yo' Is to Massa
John!"
"Do you think so? Do I help him?
Do 15"
"Of course yo' does. Yo' tells hlra
t'lngs to do in Sunday school what the
clillluri like, an' yo' . learns him to
laugh an' 'joy himself an' a lot of
t'lnjis what nobody else could a-Iearnert
iui."
"It's enough to make folks talk," put
In Mrs. WJlloughby, with a sly link
at the deacons.
"An' me nwaitlu' to discuss the uew
church service," bellowed Strong.
"And me awaiting to give hlni Mrs.
Elverson's message." piped Elverson.
"The church hore all this In .silence
o long as that girl .was sick," snapped
Miss Perk,iiis. "Hut now she's perfect
ly well and still a-hanglng on. So
wonder folks are talking."
"Who's tiilUIn'?" thundered Strong.
"Didn't you know-';" simpered Mrs.
, iWilloughby, not knowing herself nor
caring so long as the suspicion grew.
"Know what?" yelled the excited
deacon. Mrs. Wllloughby floundered.
Miss Perkins rushed into the breach.
"Well, if I was deacon of this church
it seems to me I'd know something
about what's going on in it."
"What Is goin' on?" shrieked the
now desperate deacon.
The women looked at him pityingly,
exchanged knowing glances, then
shook their heads at his hopeless stu
pidity. Strong was not accustomed to crit
icism. He prided himself upon his
acutcness and was, above all, vain
about his connection with the church,
lie looked from one woman to the oth
er. He was seething with helpless
rage. Tho little deacon at his side
coughed nervously. Strong's pent-up
wrath exploded. , "Why didu't you tell
me, Elverson, that people was a-talk-ia'?"
he roared in the frightened man's
ear.
Elverson sputtered and stammered,
but nothing definite came of the
sounds; so Strong again turned to Miss
Perkins:
"What Is goin' on?" be demanded.
The spinster shrugged her shoulders
and lifted her eyes heavenward, know
ing that nothing could so madden the
deacon as this mysterious Inference of
things too terrible to mention. Sbe
i was right. Strong uttered a desperate
I "Bah!" and began pacing up and down
the garden with reckless strides.
mrs. wuiougnoy wuicneu mm wun
secret delight, and when be came to
a bait she wriggled to bis side with
simpering sweetness.
, "What could folks say?" she asked.
"A minister nnd a young circus girl
living here like this with no one to"
She found no words at this point, and
Strong, now thoroughly roused, de
clared that the congregation shonld
have no further canse for gossip and
went out quickly in search of Douglas.
When Strong was gone Elverson
looked at tbe set faces of the women
and attempted a weak apology for the
pastor. "I dare say the young man
was very lonely very before she
came." ,
"Lonely!" snapped Miss Perkins.
"Well, If he was lonely I didn't know
It."
. Tbe deacon excused himself nerv
ously and went to join Strong.
The women gathered up their bunt
ings and retired with bland smiles to
the Sunday school room, feeling that
they bad accomplished enough for the
time being.
Strong and Elverson crossed the
yard, still in search of the pastor.
They turned at the sound of fluttering
leaves and beheld Douglas, hatless,
tearing down the path. Strong called
to him, but Douglas darted quickly be
hind the hedge. Tbe deacons looked at
one another in speechless astonish
ment. Presently the silence was
broken by tbe distant voice of Polly
counting from one to a hundred. The
secret was out! The pastor, a leader
of the church, was playing hide and
seek!
"Mr. Douglas!" shouted Strong when
his breath, had returned.
"Hush, hush!" whispered Douglas,
looking over the hedge. He peeped
cnutiously about him, then cnnie to
ward the men with a sigh of relief.
"It's all right. .She has gone the other
way."
"It'll be a good thing for yon if she
never comes back," said Strong, and
Douglas' quick ear cangbt an unpleas
ant meaning in his tone.
"What's that?" the pastor asked In a
low, steady vdice.
"We don't like some of the things
that are goin' on here, and 1 want to
talk to you about 'em."
"Very well, but see if you can't talk
iu a lower key."
"Never mind about the 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 goin' to stay here.'!
"Indeed! And why?" The color was
leaving Douglas' face and his Jaw was
becoming very square.
"Because she'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
go."
"Go?" echoed Donglas.

He frowned.

"She done been set lt settln' up

"Dear Utile Polly," be murmurod,
then closed the book and put It into
