CHAPTER X.
3UGLAS dropped wearily on to
the rustic bench. He sat with
drooped bead and unseeing
eyes. He did not bear Polly as
she scurried down the path, ber arms
filled with autumn lenTes. 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?" be 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 yon going to play any more?"
There was a shade of disappointment
In ber voice. She came slowly to bis
aide.
"Sit here, Polly," he answered grave
ly, pointing to a place on the bench.
"1 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 Beat at bis
side. "You might just as well tell me
and get It over."
"You couldn't do anything wrong,"
be answered, looking down at ber.
"Oh, yes, I could, and I've done it
I can see it in your face. What is it?"
"What have you there?' he asked,
trying to gain time and not knowing
"Now Pve doite something wrong, the
pouted.
how to broach the subject that in jus
tice to her must be discussed.
"Some leaves to make garlands for
the social." Polly answered more cheer
fully. "Would you mind holding this?"
She gave him one end of a string of
leaves.
"Where are the children?"
"Gone home."
"You like the children very much,
don't you, Polly?" Douglas was striv
ing for a path that might lead them to
the subject that was troubling him.
"Oh, no, I don't like them; I love
them." Sbe looked at blm wltb tender
eyes.
"You're the greatest baby of all." A
puzzled line came between his eyes as
be studied her 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 ber from
a strange, unwelcome point of view.
She was all of that as sbe sat at his
feet, yearning and slender and fair, at
the turning of her seventeenth year.
"I wonder how you would like to go
away" her eyes met his In terror
"away to a great school," he added
quickly, flinching from the very first
hurt that he had inflicted, "where there
are a lot of other young ladies."
"Is it a place where you would be?"
Sbe looked up at blm anxiously. Sbe
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."
"Hut Just for a little while." he
pleaded. Mow was he ever to under
Btnnd? How could he lake from her
the sense of security that he had pur
posely taught her to feci In his house-:
"Not even for a moment," Polly an
swered, with a decided shake of her
liend.
"But you must get ahead In your
studies." he argued.
She tasked, at him anxious
was beginning "to be aTaruied" at nls
persistence.
"Maybe I've been playing too many
periscuous games."
i "Not periscuous, Polly, promiscuous."
