CHAPTER Xl.—(Continued.)
"Well, doctor?" übe asked anxiously.
Th« stout, gray-halred old physician
—be bad practiced In Trumet for near
ly thirty years—shook hie head.
-Not a single chance," he whispered.
“He may possibly live till morning,
bnt I doubt If he lasts an hour. It’s
bis heart. I've expected It at any
time."
Captain Nat was standing at the
door of the bedroom. Hla face waa
drawn and he bad seemingly grown
years older slnoe noon.
“He's come to himself, doc,” he
whispered. "He don’t remember how
It happened or anything. And he
wants us all. Why! why, Kezlah! are
you here? You can come In. too. I
know dad likee you and I guess—
Walt a minute; I'll ask him.” He
etepped back Into the bedroom. "Yee."
he nodded, returning, "you come. too.
He wants you."
The little room. Captain Eben'a own.
was more like a skipper's cabin than
a chamber on land. In the corner
stood the captain's big boots and his
oilskins hung about them. His Sun
day cane was there also. And on the
bureau waa a worn, heavy Bible
Dr. Parker brushed by the others
and bent over the bed.
"Well, cap'n,” he said cheerily,
"how's she headed? How are you feel
ing now?"
The old face on the pillow smiled
feebly.
"She's headed for home, 1 guess,
due,” said Captain Eben. -Bound for
hume, and the harbor light broad
abeam. I cal'late."
“Oh. no! you’ll make a good many
voyages yet."
"Not In this bulk, I won't, doctor. I
hope I'll have a new command pretty
■oun. I'm trustin' In my owners and I
guess they'll do the fair thing by me.
Halloo, Oracle, girl! Well, your old
uncle's on his beam ends, ain't he?”
Ilrace glanced fearfully at hla face.
When he spoke her name she shrank
back, aa If she feared what he might
aay. But he only smiled as, with the
tears streaming down her face, she
beat over and kissed him.
-There! there!" be protested. "You
mustn’t cry. What are you cryla*
about me for? I'm lit and ready for
the sea I’m goln' to gall." His eyes
wandered from his son to Mrs. Coflln.
For an Instant he seemed puziled.
Then be laid:
“ 'Evenln,' Kexlah. 1 don't know
hrhy you're here, but—”
*T beard that Grace waa alone and
that you was sick, Eben. So I come
right down, to help If I could."
"Thank ye. You’re a good-hearted
woman, Kezlah, even though you ain’t
seen the true light yet. And you're
louzekeeper for that hired priest—a—
Or—” He paused, and a troubled look
oame over bis face.
"What la It, dad?" asked Nat.
“I—l Where's Oracle? Bhe’s here,
ain't she?"
"Yet, uncle. I'm here. Here 1 am/'
■aid the girl. Hla fingers groped for
her band and seized lb
"Yes, yes. you're here," murmured
Captain Eben. “I—l—for a minute or
■o, I—l had an awful dream about you,
Oracle. I dreamed— Never mind.
Doc, answer me this now, true and
honest, man to man: Can you keep
me here for just a little spell longer?
Can you? Try) Ten minutes, say.
Can you?"
“Of course I can. Cap'n Hammond,
what are you—"
"Belay, I tell you. Yes, I guess 'twaa
a dream. It had to be, but 'twaa so
sort of real that I— How long have
I been this way?”
“Oh, a little while! Now Just-— 1 "
"Hush! Don't pull your hand away,
Oracle. Nat. give me yours. That's
lb Now I put them two hands to
gether. See, doctor? See, Kezlah?"
‘‘Don’t, uncle, don't!” pleaded Orace.
"Don't worr/- about me. Think of
yourself, please.”
‘‘S-sh-sh! Don't put me off. Just
listen. 1 want you to marry my boy,
after I'm gone. I want you to say you
will—say It now, go's I can hear lb
Will you, Oracle?"
Grace would have withdrawn her
hand, but he would not let her. He
clung to It and to that of his son with
all hla failing strength.
“Will you, Oracle?" he begged. "It’s
the last thing I’m goln' to ask of you.
I’ve tried to be sort of good to you.
In my way, and—"
"Don’t, don’t!" she sobbed. “Let me
think a minute, uncle, dear. Oh, do
let me think!”
“Won’t you aay It for me, Oracle?”
pleaded Captain Eben. She heßltated
no longer.
“Yes, uncle,” she answered through
tears, “If Nat wants me he can have
me.”
Kezlah clasped her hands. Captain
Eben s face lit up with a great joy.
"Thank the Almighty!" be ex
claimed. "Lord, Ido thank you Nat,
boy, you're conslder'ble older than Bhe
Is and you'll have to plan for her. You
be a good husband to her all her days,
won’t ye? Why, what are you waitin’
for? Why don’t you answer me?”
Nat groaned alouJ.
"A minute dad,” he stammered.
“Just give me a minute, for Heaven
sakes! Jtezlah —”
"Kezlah!" repeated Eben. "Kezlah?
What are you talkin’ to her for? She
knows there couldn't be no better
match In the world. You do know It,
don't ye. Kezlah?"
“Yes," said Kezlah slowly. “I guess
—1 guess you're right, Eben.”
‘‘Kezlah Coffin," cried Nat Ham
mond, “do you tell me to marry
Grace?”
"Yes, Nat, I—l think your father’s
rlghb”
"Then—then —what difference does
All right, dad. Just aa Orace says.”
“Thank God!” cried Captain Eben.
“Doctor, you and Mrs. Coflln are wit
nesses to this. There! now my decks
are clear and I'd better get ready to
land. Oracle, girl, tbe Good Book's
over there on tbe bureau. Read me a
chapter, won't you?”
An bour later Kezlab sat alone In
tbe dining room. She had Btolen away
when the reading began. Dr. Parker,
walking very softly, came to ber and
laid bis hand on ber shoulder.
"He's gone," be said simply.
CHAPTER XII.
In Which Kezlah Breaks the News
It was nearly live o'clock, gray dawn
of what waa to be a clear, beautiful
summer morning, when Kezlah softly
lifted tbe latch and entered tbe par
sonage. All nlgbt abe bad been busy
st tbe Hammond tavern. Busy wltb
the doctor and the undertaker, wbo
bad been called from bis bed by young
Hlgglna; busy with Orace, soothing
her, comforting he.* as best she could,
and petting ber t.s a mother might
pet a stricken cb-ld. Tbe poor girl
was on tbe verge of prostration, and
from hysterical spasms of sobs and
weeping passed to stretches of silent,
dry-eyed agony wllch were harder to
witness and much store to be feared.
“It Is all my fault," she repeated
over and over again. "All my fault!
“Kezlah Coffin I” Cried Nat Hammond,
“Do You Tall Mo to Marry Graoa?”
I killed him! I killed him. Aunt Ke
zlah! What shall I do? Oh, why
couldn't I have died Instead? It would
have been ao much better, batter for
everybody/’
Dr. Parker was very anxious.
“She must reit/' be told Mn. Cof
fin “She must, or her brain will give
way. I'm going to give her something
to make her aleep and you muat 'get
her to take It."
Bo Kezlah tried and, at last, Orace
did take the drug. In a little while
she was sleeping, uneasily and with
moans and aobblngg, but Bleeping, nev
ertheless.
“Now lt’a your turn, Kezlah/’ said
the doctor. “Yam go bom, new and
rest, yourself. W s don’t need yon sny
more Just now. .Now you go home.
You've bad a bard nlgbt, like the rest
of us.”
How bard he bad no Idea. And Ke
zlah, aa she wearily entered the par
sonage, realized that tbe morning
would be perhaps tbe hardest of all.
For upon her rested the responsibility
of seeing that the minister’s secret
was kept. And she, aDd no other,
must break the news to him.
Tbe dining room was dark and
gloomy. She lighted tbe lamp. Then
she beard a door open and Ellery's
voice, as be called down the stairs.
"Who is it?” be demanded. “Mrs.
Coflln?"
She was startled. “Yes," she said
softly, after a moment. "Yes, Mr. El
lery, It’s me.”
“It’s morning,” said the minister.
“Are you sick? Has anything hap
pened ?”
"Yea,” she answered slowly, “some
thin’ haß happened. Are you dressed?
Could you come down?”
He replied that he would be down
In a moment. When he came be
found her standing by the table wait
ing for him. The look of her face In
the lamplight shocked him.
'Why, Mtb. Coflln!” he exclaimed.
"What Is It? You look as if you had
been through some dreadful experi
ence."
Her heart went out to him. She
held out both her hands.
"You poor boy," she cried, "I’m try
ing to tell you one of the hardest
things a body can tell. Yes, Borne one
Is dead, but that ain't all. Eben Ham
mond, poor soul. Is out of his troubles
and gone.”
“Eben Hammond 1 Captain Eben?
Dead! Why, why—"
"Yes, Eben’s gone. He was took
down Budden and died about ten
o’clock last night. I was there and—”
“Captain Eben dead! Why, he waa
as well aa—as — She said— Oh, I
must go! I must go at once!”
He was on hi.--- way to the door, but
she held It shut.
"No," she said gravely, “you mustn't
go. John—you won’t mind me callin’
you John. I'm old enough, pretty nigh,
to be your mother, and I’ve come to
feel almost as If I was. John, you’ve
got to stay here with me. You can't
go to that house. You can't go to
her.”
“Mrs. Coflln. what are you saying?
Do you know— Have you— ’’
“Yea. I know all about It. I know
about tbe meetln’a In the pines and
all. Oh, why didn't you trust me and
tell me? If you had, all would have
been so much better!"
He looked at her In utter amaze
ment. Tbe blood rushed to his face.
"You know that?” he whispered.
“Yea, I know.”
“Did she tell—”
“NO, nobody told. That Is, only a
little. I got a hint and I susplcloned
somethin' afore. The reßt I saw with
my own eyea."
He was now white, but his Jaw shot
forward and his teeth clOßed.
“If you do know,” he said, "you
must realize that my place la with
her. Now, when she 1b In trouble—”
"It ain't the congregation, John,"
she said. “Nor Trumet, nor your min
istry. That means more'n you think
It does, now; but It ain't that You
mustn’t go to her because—well, be
cause she don’t want you to.”
"Doesn’t want me? I know better.”
He laughed In supreme scorn.
"She doesn’t want you, John. She
wouldn’t see you If you went She
would send you away again, sure, sar
tln aure. She would. And if you
didn't go when she sent you, you
wouldn't be the man I hope you are
John, you mustn't see Orace again.
She ain't yours. She belongs to some
one else.
“John, Orace Van Horne it goln' to
marry Cap’n Nat Hammond. .There!
that’s the livin' truth.”
She led him over to the rocking
chair and gently forced him Into It. He
obeyed, although with no apparent
realization of what he was doing. Still
with her hand on his shoulder she
went on speaking. She told him of
her visit to the Hammond tavern, say
ing nothing of Mr. Pepper's call nor
of ber own experience In the grove.
She told of Captain Eben's seizure, of
what tbe doctor said, and of the old
Come-Outer's return to consciousness.
Then she described the scene In the
sick room and how Nat and Orace had
plighted, troth. He listened, at first
stunned and stolid, then grow
ing Impatience.
“So you see,” she Bald. "It’s settled;
they’re engaged, and Dr. Parker will
tell everybody of the engagement this
very mori-ln. It wan't any great sur
prise to me. Those who have been
brought up together; 'twas tbe natu
ral thing that was almost bound to
happen. Eben’s heart was set on It
for years. And she'll have a good
husband, John, that I know. And she'll
do ber best to make him happy. He's
a good man and— '■
"But I know—“
"Do you suppose she would come
to you It she knew It would be your
ruin?"
He hesitated. The last time they
met, ajea before—no, only the previ
ous afternoon—she had told him It
was his happiness and hla future only
that she thought of He choked and
drew hla hand across his eyes.
“Mrs. Coflln,’’ he said, "you tell me
It will be her ruin. You tell me so.
You say she doesn't want me. I tell
you that the only thing that will keep
me from her Is hearing that from her
own lips. When she tells me to leave
her 1 will, and not before."
“Shell tell you, John; ehe'U tell you.
And I know Grace. She’s made up her
mind and won’t change It. But I do
ask you this; I ask you not to go now.
Wait a little while, do. I left her
asleep, worn out by what ahe’s been
through and under the effects of the
doctor's steepin' medicine. He said
She must rest sir be was afraid her
brain would give out. For her sake,
then, wait a little. Then, If you don't
hear from her, maybe I can arrange a
meetln' plaoe where you can see ber
without anyone's k.iowln’ It I'll try.
But do wait a little while, for her
sake, won’t you?”
At last he was listening and hesi
tating.
“Won't you?” begged Kezian.
"Yes," he answered slowly. "I’ll
wait I’ll wait until noon, somehow, If
I can. I’ll try. But not a minute
later. Not one. You don’t know what
you’re talking about, Mrs. Coffin."
"Yes, I do. I know well. And I
thank you for her sake.”
But he did not have to wait until
noon. At six o’clock, through the dew
soaked grass of the yard, came tbe
Hlggln» boy. For the first time In bis
short life he had been awake all night
and he moved slowly.
The housekeeper opened the door.
Ike held up an envelope, clutched In a
grimy hand.
"It’s for you, Mrs. Kezlah,” he said.
"Oracle she sent It. There ain’t no
answer."
Mrs. Coffin closed the door And tore
open the envelope. Within was an
other addressed. In Grace’s handwrit
ing, to Mr. Ellery. The housekeepet
entered the study, handed it to him
and turned away.
"Dear John,” wrote Grace. “I pre
sume Aunt Kezlah has told you of
uncle's death and of my promise tc
Nat. It Is true. 1 am going to marry
him. I am sure this Is right and for
tbe best. Our friendship was a mis
take and you must not see me again.
Please don't try.
"GRACE VAN HORNE.”
Beneath waa another paragraph.
“Don’t worry about me. I shall be
happy, I am sure. And I shall hope
that you may be. I shall pray for
that."
The note feil to the floor with a
“John, What Are You Going to Do?”
rustle that sounded loud In the still
ness. Then Kezlah heard the minis
ter’s step. She turned. He was mov
ing slowly across tbe room.
“John, what are you goln' to do?”
He shook his head. “I don’t know/'
he said. “Go away somewhere, first
of all. I guess. Go somewhere and—
and try to live It down. I can’t, of
course, but I must try."
She put out her band. “I know it’ll
be hard/' she said, “stayin’ here, I
mean. But your duty to others— ■“
“Don’t you think we've heard enough
about duty to others? How about my
duty to myself?"
"I guess that’s the last thing we
ought to think about In the world, If
we do try to be fair and square. Your
church thinks a heap of you, John.
They build on you. You’ve done more
In the little while you've been here
than Mr. Langley did In his last fifteen
years." *
"You’ve never been asked to sit
quietly by and Bee the one you love
more than all the world marry some
one else.”
"How do you know 1 ain't? How do
you know I ain't doin’ Juat that now?"
“Mrs. Coffin!”
“John Ellery, you listen to me. You
think I’m a homely old woman, prob
ably, set In my ways as an eight-day
clock. I guess I look like It and act
like 1L But 1 ain't so awful old—on
tbe edge of forty, that's all. And
when I was your age I wa'n’t so awful
homely, either. I had fellers aplenty
hsngtn’ round and I could have jnar
rled any one of a dozen. This ain't
boastin'; land knows I'm fur from
that. I was brought up In this town
and even when I was a girl at school
there was only one boy I cared two
straws about. He and I went to pic
nics together and to parties and every
where. Folks used to laugh and say
we was keepln’ comp'ny, even then.
"Well, when I was eighteen, after fa
ther died, I went up to New Bedford
to woik In a store there. Wanted to
earn my own way. And this youni
feller I’m tellln' you about went away
to sea, but every time he come home
from a voyage he come to see me and
things went on that way till we wai
promised to edeb other. The engage
ment wa'n’t announced, but 'Jwai so
Just the same. We'd have been mar
rled in another year. And then wt
quarreled.
" 'Twas a fool quarrel, same as that
kind gen’rally are. As much my fault
as his and as much his as mine, I cal'
late. Anyhow, we waa both proud, ot
thought we was, and neither would
give In. And he says to me, ‘You'll bs
sorry after I'm gone. You'll wish m«
back, then/ And says 1, bein’ a fool,
‘I guess not. There's other fish In th«
sea.' He tailed and I did wish him
back, but I wouldn't write fuat and
neither would he. And then come an
other man.”
Bhe paused, hesitated, and then ooa
tlnuad.

Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here Is a Simple Way of Cor
recting it Instantly Before
it Becomes Chronic.
Very few people go through lift
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thousands
Injure themselves by the use of
strong cathartics, salt mineral
ters, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
it Is true, but the good effect Is soon
lost, and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained
by using a scientific remedy like Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what it Is represented to be,
a mild laxative medicine. It Is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
It to tiny Infants, and yet It Is so com
pounded, and contains such definite
ingredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic con
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
It is a fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those of Mrs. O. B.
Pruitt, Berea, Ky., who used Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin as a laxative
tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that it so
strengthened and cleansed her system
that she was quickly relieved of a se
vere cough which had troubled her
for months. The special value of this
grand laxative tonic is that it is suit

TWO CARBUNCLES ON NECK
Veterans' Home, Napa Co., Cal. —“1
was afflicted with two carbuncles on
the back of my neck. The doctors said
they were the largest carbuncles he
ever saw. I suffered tbe most Intense
agony, so much that I could not rest
or sleep for about a month. One waa
lanced four times. When tbe first be
gan to get better another broke out
and was equally as painful as tbe first
one. I heard of Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment being good for each things,
•o I procured a box of Cutlcura Oint
ment and a cake of Cutlcura Soap. I
washed both tbe carbuncles with Cutl
cura Soap frequently whenever any
pus began to gather, and applied the
Cutlcura Ointment. I felt relief after
the first use of Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment, and In a week's time both
carbuncles were gone and I waa com
pletely cured. I have not been trou
bled since.
“I also had eczema of tbe scalp. My
•calp Itched fearfully and pimples be
gan to break out which emitted pus,
and my bead became sore and scaly.
I had dandruff also. I used Cutlcura
Soap for a shampoo with hot water,
and used the Cutlcura Ointment on my
scalp, and It afforded Instant relief, fol
lowed by absolute cure.” (Signed)
