CHAPTER VII
F3LLY and Jerry held hands
while they watched the color
ful changing ot the guard at
Buckingham Palace. They stood
with shoulders touching while they
leaned on the timbers of London
Bridge, gating down into the
Thames. They looked into each
other's eyes as they fed the pi
geons before St. Paul's Cathedral.
Yet they talked of everything but
love.
"London-takes my breath away,"
Polly said as they neared the inn
at day's end. I'm right proud, my
mother's people were Londoners."
Jerry nodded. "England's a
wonder, all over. I'm proud of
having English blood myself. But
England's too arrogant. America
will have to lick her again."
"Hush, Jerry! You'll be over
heard. . . . Who's that woman wav
ing to you?"
"Where, Polly?"
"Across the street . . . Look! In
the blue bonnet She's just gotten
out of a hackney coach."
"I doubt if she's waving to me,"
Jerry said, puzzled. She was a
orettv thing, becomingly dressed
and having a gay air. Jerry lifted
his hat and bowed while his
tanned face turned crimson. "She
mistakes me for somebody else, I
reckon."
The young woman gave him a
warm intimate smile and went in
to a shop. "She thinks she knows
you very well." Polly said, piqued.
"Jerry, I believe she does know
you! Why are you being so inno
cent about KIT
"If I knew her," Jerry replied
brusquely, "I'd say so. I've got no
taste for mysteries."
nnHEY both looked at the rather
shabby public vehicle out of
which the young woman had just
stepped. The driver was a large
-man in a cabby's uniform. Had
they been closer, they would have
seen that he had a torn ear and a
nose that had been several times
broken and carelessly mended.
"Well, Jerry," Polly argued,
"you don't look like anybody else
I've seen in London. I'd not con
fuse you with other men. No
woman would. Of course that girl
knows you! You've met her some
where. I reckon you've paid her
compliments, or she wouldn't be
speaking to you so
"So how?" It was an Irritated
challenge. 1
"So like she had some claim on
.. you.' She looked square at you!
What's more, you bowed to her,
Jerry Whitfield!"
"Of course I did. Just to be
polite."
"But you smiled at her!"
i -I didn't!".
: "Youdid!"
' "Bah!"
"Now you're being rude. You
save your good manners for Lon-
don ladies, and you shout at me
because I m just a Connecticut vil
lage girl."
"For a little hit," Jerry said
hotly, "I'd turn you over my knee
and whale you. Where and when
would I meet any London girls
like thai?".-
"After the theater," Folly re
plied with unaccountable feminine
shrewdness. "After they're through
acting in the play. You told me
you'd been to Drury Lane, time
and again.
"So I have."
"And I suppose youTI try to tell
me you didn't notice one girl from
another!"
"No, I won't.' Jerry retorted an
grily, "I didn t meet any of them,
but there were at least three
used to clap for. And one night I
sent them bouquets, all three of
em!"
"Well, then, there you are!
cried Polly triumphantly, but not
enjoying the triumph. "Did yon
put a card m, or a note?"
"No, I didn't but I wish I had.
Just to give you something to
carry on aoout!"
TTfHILE this argument was in
progress they had entered the
tavern, passed through the public
room and ascended the stairs. At
her door Polly took out a larse
brass key from her pocket and in
serted it in the lock. "Won't you
come in?" she asked tartly. "I'd
like to hear some more of your
adventures. They must be wonderful."
She threw open the door, and
Jerry followed her in, for the
quarrel was in that exhilarating
state of fermentation when neither
wished to abandon it He walked
to the window and looked down
on the street while she closed the
door.
"Hasn't she come out of the
shop yet?" Polly inquired, remov
ing her bonnet before a looking
glass. "I thought her dress was
right gaudy for the street Maybe
she's gone in to buy something
more suitable."
Jerry whirled about and seized
Polly's hands. He drew her near
to him, so that their faces were
close. '.'You're a jealous little cat,
Polly Chelsey. You're nobody's
angel. You'd be hard to handle "
'Yes, Jerry, she said tenderly.
meltingly. "I reckon that's so. . . .
Oh, Jerry, don t you see how it
is? I've never taken a sweetheart
before. I seem to want all of you
even the past that happened be
fore you'd ever heard of me. I
reckon this is being in love. It was
feeling like this, I guess, that
made my mother go to America in
Trepid Chelsey's ship and marry
him." Her arms crept around
Jerry's neck and she was answer
ing his kiss.
After a moment they drew apart
and Jerry said, confused and
shaken, "We're talking of love
again, and I said I'd not till I got
you home to your father! How has
this happened?"
"Because we quarreled," Polly
answered simply.
TP HEY resumed their New Eng
land reserve then, as they
might have put on topcoats in a
storm. But it was not the same.
Beneath the reserve there
throbbed the intimacy of the emo
tion they had shared.
"Tell me what o'clock we're to
start in the morning," Polly said,
"so IH not keep the coach wait
ing." "Ill knock on your door soon
after daylight You must get up
kt once and dress and pack your
clothes. Then well have break-,
fast and wait in the courtyard
for the Dover coach. I've spoken
for two seats. . . . Take your
money now, Polly. It'll be best for
you to carry it . Can you hide it
about your person?"
"Yes. I've a doeskin bae for
that purpose. Will there be any
trouble about the dog in the coach,
Terry?"
"I don't think so. If there is, I
can take "" on top. Ill go down
now and have a look at him before
I turn In."
"You're so kind, Jerry. How
could I have been so cross to you?
How could I have been so hate
ful?" "I' know more about typhoons,"
Jerry said with a grin, "than about
lovers' quarrels. And I believe
It's easier to handle a ship than a
woman. Good night Polly."
He bent and kissed the palm of
each of her hands, thinking of
what some future night must bring
in danger the English Channel
and the dark uncertainty of a
smuggler's crossing. Could he
bring her safely through it? These
were his thoughts.
"Good night Jerry!"
She thought only of how his
dark hair curled as his head bent
over her hands.
(To Be Continued)

I, son of Kin Henry III, when
