It was this that he meant when he promised, not ro (r!ve her up. no matter what bappwd In an Infmt she was at the deacon's s'de pleading and terrified "You wouldn't ?et another minister! Oh. please.

She was senrchln? his eyes for mercy. "It wasn't his fault that I kept staying on. He didn't know how to get rid of me He did try. He tried only today." "So he'a comin' round." sneered Strong "Yes, yes. and you won't blame him any more, will yon?" she hurried on anxiously. "You'll let him stay, do matter what he does, if 1 promise to go away and never, never come back again V "I ain't holdin' no grudge agin him." Strong grumbled. "He talks pretty rough sometimes, but he's been a good enough minister. 1 ain't forgettin' that." "Oh. thank you. Mr. Strong, thank you I'll get my things It won't take a minute." She was running up tlv steps when a sudden thought stopped her Phe returned quickly to Strong "We'd better not let him know Just yet You can tell him afterward Tell him that I rail aw:.y Tell him lliat"- She was interrupted by Douglas, who came from the house. "Hello. Strong' Back again?" he a.'.ked. in some sur prise. Polly remained with her eyea fixed upon the deacon, searching for some way of escape.

She tried to rotilrol the catch in her voice. "You II know about It soon, won't he. deacon? Good afterncon Mr Strong!" She (lew into the house, laughing hy teric.illy. TtonslBS followed her to the step" with a puzr.led frown. It was unlike I'vlly to give way to her moods hefor others. "Have you gentlemen changed your minds about tbe little girl stay ing on?" he asked uneasily 'It's all right nov.-." said Strong, seating himself with a complacent air. 'All right? How so?" questioned noughts, "more and more puzzled by to-- deacon's evident satisfaction Because." said Strong, rising and iicinr the pastor-"b2cause your cir cus rldln' gal Is goln' to leave you of her own accord." tk U k.' mmmm mf Tt dru.t.o wrr l!blly une ; The frw m tKmcUi" fortd ' ; declining ' "ib. re bow wroti h Itn.ksr sue : ent. with t- f her ha towanl the srlm Tbmml ta t . m ohw trl.'kT" iir'ilv ni law lie bad at ll l"H b bunk lu cuplHwlxl. where l !, rv Uuiv frui long tnjlis i the umr veird al Ibi'lr n'uiii'curniuf u.. but Miitbli In bin act firnw i""U mde b.f afnikl Kw ln.i"'rt f" Ouire iiiipaiieni in ij be. n.r,".b. pleads -WW 'J lu'"h.. . . nrti.i liliU t oil the whwn f h-r hum ; Hi- held out on -mall hsnd did ri ll Mlf rvn "i I drn)tl.
