place, no Regular minister .ad crossed
the threshold of a seceder's dwelling,
much less attended their styvices and
walked home with a mem er of their

"Well!" she exclaimed we.. the re

"I-I'm afraid I was too htisty," ob

"Perhaps 'twould. Yes, ; wouldn't

"It will be talked about scte. I sup

"At this moment one half A Trumet
is talkie' about it and runtla' out to
tell the other half. I Guess 1'd better
hurry up with this breakfarst. We're
goin' to have callers."
Strange to say, however, this proph
ecy of early morning visitans did not
prove true. Nine o'clock, then ten,
and no visitor came to the parsonage.
Mrs. Cofmn affirmed that tIe did not
understand it. Where waa Didama?
Where Lavinia Pepper? Ha4 the "Tru
met Daily Advertiser" suspended pub
lication?
At half past ten the gAte slammed.
Keziah peered from the window.
"Humph!" she ejaculated. "Here
comes kllkanah and he's got storm sig
nals set, by the looks. He's comin'
after you, Mr. Ellery."
"Ver, well," was the calm reply;
"let himn come."
"All right. Say, M1r. Ellery, it's
none of my business, but I wouldn't
say anything about your seein' Grace
home. That's none of his business,
either, or anybody else's."
The head of the parish committee
stalked into the study and the door
cJoed behind him. A rumble of
vo :es in animated conversation suc
cee.ded.
Mrs. Coffin went out into the kitchen
and resumed her business of making
a dried-apple pie.
She was looking down below the
door, which opened outward and was
swung partly back on its hinges. From
under the door projected a boot, a
man's boot and one of ample size.
Keziah's cheeks, already red from
the heat of the stove, reddened still
more. Her lips twitched and her eyes
sparkled.
"Hum!" she said. "They say you
can tell the Old Scratch by his foot
prints, even if you can't smell the
sulphur. Anyhow, you can tell a Ham
mond by the size of his boots. Come
out from behind that door this min
ute. Ain't you ashamed of yourself?"
The owner of the boot stepped forth
from behind the door and seized her
by both hands.
"Halloo, Keziah!" he cried joyfully.
"My, but it's good to see you."
"Halloo, Nat!" said Keziah heartily.
"It's kind of good to see you, too."
The rest of him was in keeping
with his boots. He was big and broad
shouldered and bearded. His face,
above the beard, was tanned to a deep
reddish brown, and the corners of his
eyes were marked with dozens of tiny
wrinkles. He was dressed in blue
cloth and wore a wide-brimmed, soft
felt hat. He entered the kitchen and
tossed the hat into a corner.
"Well!" he exclaimed. "Why don't
you act surprised to see a feller? Here
I've been cruisin' from the Horn to
Barnegat and back again, and you act
as if I'd just dropped in to fetch the
Scup of molasses I borrowed yesterday.
What do you mean by it?"
"Oh, f beard you'd made pot"
"Did, hey? That's Trumet, sure

So she told him of her brother's pr

he reminds me that I'm kind of worried
'as about him."
om "You are? Why? Isn't he well?"
a "Pretty well, but he ain't strong, and
he gets too excited over things like
Dm last night's foolishness. Grace tells
till me that the doctor says he must be
*es careful or he'll drop off some of these
days. He had a shock five or six years
rou ago, a little one, and I've been anxious N

Scoot!"
Nat "scooted," stopping to snatch up
his hat as he rat. Keziah went into
the dining room and admitted Csptain
Zebedee Mayo, who was panting from
the exertion of his walk.
"Whew!" puffed Captain feb, mop
ping his forehead. "How be you, Ke
ziah? What? You ain't all alone!
Thought you'd have a cabin full of
gab machines by this time. Have they
been and gone?"
"No, they haven't been. I- My

She rushed into the kitchen and
snatched the pastry from the oven.
Her new caller followed her.
'So they ain't been, hey ?" he said.
"That's queer."
"Elkanah's here. He's in there with

Regular minister to go to their mo*t

gation nor the parish committee ap
proves of. No--er-hum-ha! nol"
"And I explained to Captain Dan
lels," observed the minister, "that I
went there for what seemed to me
good reasons, and, as they did seem to
me good at the time, I'm not ashamed
of having gone. It was an honest mis
take on my part and I may make
more." "
"But the society-" began Elkanah. '
Captain Zeb interrupted him.
"Don't worry about the society, Mr.
Ellery," he said with emphasis. "Nor
about the parish committee, either.

Attractive ways of furnishing and 1(
decorating the liviRg room are with- d

the room is newly bought, one's frst
endeavor should be to avoid the ap

Of equal importance is the artificial
lighting. In providing lights, a glare
must be avoided it the room is to re

the other hand, it most not be so drk f

read in it without injuring the eyes.
In the older apartments sad houses,
where there are only the middle lights
in the room, the only way of solving
this difficulty is by the use of table
lamps. These should be seIected is
view of their usefulness, as well as
their decorative merit. Good looking
and practical lamps are made for both
electricity and gas, as well as for oil.
Few "city bred" persons ralie the
