Oh, my soul!" "Black!" â€" said Ralph amazediy. "Why, the woman at your house isn‘t black. She‘s as white ’ I am, and not bad looking either." ~*. "I koew it!"" wailed Captain Jerry. "I knew it! And you said there wa‘n‘t no danger, Eri!‘ "Hush up, Jerry, a minute, for the love of goodness! What was she doin‘, Mr. Hazeltine, this woman®you thought was the housekeeper? Did she look as if she was gittin‘ ready to go out? Did she have her bunnit on?"‘ "No. She seemed to be very much at howme. ‘That‘s why I thought"â€" But again Captain Jerry broke in. "Well, by mighty!" hbe ejaculated. away? You bet she ain‘t! She‘s goin‘ to stay there and wait, if it‘s forever. "Wiat?"© Thid was tne trio in chorus. Then Captain Eri said; "Mr. Hazeltine, now, honest and true, is that a fact?" "Of course it‘s a fact." The captain wiped his forehead. "Mr. Hazeltine," he said, "if anybody had told me a fortn‘t ago that I was one of the three biggest fools in Orâ€" ham I‘d bave prob‘ly rared up some. As ‘tis now, I cal‘late I‘d thank him for lettin‘ me off so easy, You‘ll have to excuse us tonight, I‘m afraid. We‘re in a ridic‘lous scrape that we‘ve got to git out of all alone. I‘ll tell you ‘bout it some day. Jest now I wish you‘d keep this kind of quiet to oblige me." But Captain Jerry mutinied outright. ; He declared that the sight of that darâ€" ky had sickened him ofâ€"marrying forâ€" qrerâ€"and â€"thatâ€"heâ€"wouldâ€"notâ€"seeâ€" candidate from Nantucket nor any other candidate. Hazeltine saw that thisâ€" was meant as a gentle bint for his immediate deâ€" parture, and, although be bad a fair share of curiosity, felt there was nothâ€" ing else to do. As soon as he ‘had gone Captain Eri began to lay down the law. "Now, then," he said, "there‘s been some sort of a mistake; that‘s plain enough. More‘n likely the darky took the wrong satchel when she got up to come out of the car. That woman at the house is the real Marthy Snow all right, and we‘ve got to go right up there and, see hor. Come on!" "Go and see her yourself if you‘re so set on it," he declared. "I shan‘t!" "All right," said Captain Eri calwly. "I will. Tll tell her you‘re bashful, but jest dyin‘ to beâ€"married and that she can bave you if she only waits long enough." With this he turned on his heel and walked out. & d "Hold on, Eri!" shouted the frantic Jerry. "Don‘t you do it! Don‘t you tell her that! Land of love, Perez, do you s‘pose he will?" â€""I don‘t know," was the answer in a disgusted tonc. "You hadn‘t ought to have been so pigheaded, Jerry." Captain Eri, with set teeth and deâ€" termination written on his face, walkâ€" ed straight to the dining room door. Drawing a long breath, he opened it and stepped inside. A woman who bad been sitting in Captain Perez‘s rocker rose as he entered. ‘The woman looked at the captain, and the captain looked at her. She was of middle age, inclined to stoutness, with a pair of keen eyes behind brass rimmed spectacles, and was dressed in a black alpaca gown that was faded a little in places and had been neatly mended in others. She spoke first. "You‘re not Cap‘n Burgess?" she sald. "No, ma‘am," said the captain unâ€" easily. "My name is Hedge. I‘m a sort of messmate of his. You‘re Miss Snow ?" "Mrs. Snow. I‘m a widow." They shook hands, Mrs. Snow calmâ€" 1y expectant, the.captain yery_nervous and not knowing how to begin. "I feel as if I knew you, Cap‘n Hedge," said the widow as the captain glid into his own rocker.â€"‘"The boy on the depot wagon told me about you and Cap‘n Ryder and Cap‘n Burgess." "Did, hey?" The captain inwardly vowed vengeance on his chum‘s grandâ€" nephew. "Hope he gave us a clean bill." "Well, he didn‘t say nothin‘ against you, if that‘s what you mean.

All Righ:s Reserved. By Joseph C. Lincoln CAP‘N ERI "Well, there!" she exclaimed. "If that don‘t beat all! I don‘t blame Cap‘n Burgess a mite. Poor thing! I gness ; I‘d bave run, too, if I‘d have seen that darky. She was settin‘ right in the next seat to me, and she had a shutâ€" ; over bag consid‘rable like mine, and when she got up to git out she took mine by mistake. I was a good deal | put out about it, and I expect I talked | to her like a Dutch uncle when I caught ‘ up with ber. Dear, dear! Where is ; Cap‘n Burgess?" bad I don‘t think it would have made much diffrence. I‘ve lived long enough to want to find out things for myself and not take folks‘ say so." The lady seeming to expect some sort of answer to this statement, Capâ€" tain Eri expresged his opinion that the plun of finding out things: for oneself was a good tidec." Then, after anâ€" other fidgety silence, he observed that it was a fine evening. There being no dispute on this point, heâ€"endesvored to think of something else to say. Mrs. Enow, however, saved him the trouble, "Cap‘n Hedge," she said, "as I‘m here on what you might call a bus‘ness errand, and as I‘ve been waitin‘ pretty nigh two hours already, p‘raps we‘d better talk about somethin‘ besides fine evenin‘s, I‘ve got to be lookin‘ up a hotel or boardin‘ house or someâ€" wheres to stay tonight, and I can‘t wait much longer. I jedge you got my letter and was expectin‘ me. Now, if it ain‘t askin‘ too much, I‘d like to know where Cap‘n Burgess is and why he wa‘n‘t at the depot to meet me." This was a leading question, and the captain was more embarrassed than ever. However, he felt that something hbad to be done and that it was wisest to get it over with as soon as possible. "Well, ma‘am," he said, "weâ€"we got your letter all right, and, to tell you the truth, we was at the depotâ€"Perez and me and Jerry." _‘ "You was! Well, zfihen. for the land of goodness, why didn‘t you let me know it? Such a time as I had tryin‘ to find out where you lived and all!" ‘The captain saw but one plausible explanation, and that was the plain truth. Slowly he told the story of the colored woman and the extension case, The widow laughed until her spectacies fell off. "He‘s shut yp in a fish shanty down me road, aTif h*% so upsot that I dunâ€" no‘s he‘ll stir from there tonight. Jerry ain‘t prejudiced, but that darky was too much for him." And then they both laughed, the widâ€" ow because of the ludicrous nature of the affair and the captain because of the rellef that the lady‘s acceptance of it afforded his mind. Mrs. Snow was the first to become grave. "Cap‘n Hedge," she said, "there‘s one or two things I must say right here. In the first place, I ain‘t in the habit of answerin‘ advertiseâ€" ments from folks that wants to git married. T ain‘t so hard up for a mar as all that comes to, Next thing, I didn‘t come down here with my mind made up to marry Cap‘n Burgess, not by no means. I wanted to see him and talk with him and tell him jest all about how things was with me and find out about him and thenâ€" Why, if everything was shipshape, I might p‘raps think about"â€" "Jest so, ma‘am, jest so," broke in her companion. "That‘s about the way we felt. You see, there‘s prob‘ly a long story on both sides, and if you‘ll excuse me I‘ll go down to the shanty and see if I can‘t git Jerry up here. It‘l! be a job, I‘m afraid, but"â€" "No, you shan‘t either. T‘l tell you what we‘ll do. It‘s awful late now and I must be gittin‘ up to the tavern. S‘pose, if ‘tain‘t too much trouble, you walk up there with me and T‘ll stay there touight, and tomorrer I‘ll come down here, and we‘ll all have a comâ€" mon sense talk. I‘raps by that time your friend ‘ll have the darky woman some off hisâ€"mindâ€"too." ‘They walked up the road together, the captain carrying the extension case. They talked, but not of matriâ€" monfal prospects. Mrs, Snow knew almost as much about the sea and the goings and comings thereon as did her escort, and the conversation was salty in the extreme. At the Traveler‘s Rest Mrs. Snow was introduced by the unblushing Eri as a cousin from Provincetown, and after some controversy concerning the price of board and lodging she was shown up to her room. Captain Eri walked bome, absorbed in meditation. Whatever his thoughts were they were not disagreeable, for he smiled and whook his hbead more than once, as if with satisfaction. As he passed John Baxter‘s house he noticed that the light in the upper window was still burning. Captain Perez was half asleep when Eri opened the of the shanty. Captain â€"Jerry, g:-rvm, was â€"very much awake and demanded to be told things right away. His friend brie@y explained the situation. "I don‘t care if she stays here till doomsday," emphatically declared the disgruntled one. "I shan‘t marry ber. What‘s she like anyhow ?" He was surprised at the entbusiasm of Captain Eri‘s answer. "She‘s a mighty good woman. That‘s what I think she is, and she‘d make a fust class wife for any man. 1 hope you‘ll say so, too, when you see her,. There ain‘t nothin‘ hitytity about her, but she‘s got more common sense thas any woman I ever saw. But there! J shan‘t talk another bit about ber to night. Come on bome and turp in." CItaAPTER YI, “r'-]m. hands on deck! Turn out A there! Turn out!" i Captain Eri grunted and rolied over in his bed. For a moment or two he fancied bimself back in the fo‘castle of the Sea Mist, the bark in which he bad made his first voyage. Then, as be grow wider awake, he heard somewhere in the disâ€" tance a bell tinging foriously. "Taro out. gil hands! ATuprg o0t$‘ L. * Captain Eri sat up. That voice was uo part of a dream. It belonged to Captain Jerry, and the tone of it meant business. ‘The bell continued to ring. "Aye, aye, Jerry! What‘s the matâ€" ter?" he shouted. "Wire! ‘There‘s a big fre up in the village. Look out of the window and schoolhouse bell. Don‘t you hear it?" The captain, wide awake enough by this time, jumped out of bed, carrying the blankets with him, and rau to the window. Opening it, he thrust out his head. The wind bad changed to the eastward, and a thick fog had come in with it. ‘The house was surrounded by a wet, black wall, but off to the west a red glow shone through it, now brighter and now fainter. ‘The schoolâ€" house bell was turning somersaults in its excitement Whoever the ringer might be, he was ringing as though it was his only hope for life, and the bell swung back and forth without pause. The red glow in the fog brightened again as the captain gazed at it. Captain Jerry came tumbling up the stairs, breathless,and half dressed. .. he panted. "Somewhere‘s nigh the postoffice. Looks ‘s if it might be Weeks‘ store. Where‘s Perezf?" Captain Eri bad lighted a lamp and was pulling om his boots as he spoke. "Good land, FPerez," be cried as he came into the «lining room, "I thought you said you ‘was all ready!" Captain Perez paused in the vain atâ€" tempt to makie Captain Jerry‘s hat covâ€" er his own cfanium and replied indigâ€" nantly, "WeD, I am, ain‘t I?‘ "Here 1 be}" shouted the missing member of the trio from the dining room below. "I‘m all ready. Hurry up, Eri!" Captain Eri jumped into his trousers, slipped into a faded pea jacket and clattered downstairs, followed by the wildly excited Jerry. "Seems to» me I‘d put somethin‘ on my feet bosides them socks if I was you. You/Amight catch cold." Perez fihnced down at his blue yarn extremifies in blank astonishment. ‘"Well, pow," ‘he exclaimed, "if I hain‘t forgot my boots!" t 5 There‘s your hat. Give Jerry his." The excited Peres vanished through the,dbor of his chamber, and Captain Erf, glanced at the chronometer, The time, was a quarter after 2. f They hurried out of the door and through the yard, passed the lily pond, where #the frogs had long since adâ€" jJournedvtheir concert and gone to bed, dodged‘through the yard of the tightly shuttergd summer hotel and came out at the corner of the road, having saved some distance by the short cut. Captain Eri paused and looked over to the le(t in the direction of the Baxâ€" ter homestead. ‘The light in the winâ€" dow was still burning. "Web‘s place, ain‘t it?" asked Eri of Seth Wingate, who was lumbering along with a wooden bucket in one band and the pitcher of his wife‘s best washstand set in the other. "Yes," breathlessly answered . Mr. Wingate, "and it‘s a goner, they tell me. Every man‘s got to do his part if they‘re going to save it. I allers said we ought to have a fire department in this town." ‘"That nin‘t Weeks‘ storey‘ declared Captain Perez, who was in the lead. "It‘s Web Saunders‘ place. That‘s what it 1s." They turned into the main road at a dog trot and became part of a crowd of oddly dressed people, all running in the same direction. Considering that Seth had for the past eight yerrs persistantly opposed in town meefing any attempt to purâ€" chase a hand engine, this was a rather surprising §péech, but no one paid any, attention thâ€"it then., The fire ‘was in thes billlard saloon, sure enough, and the back portion of the building ‘was in a Dlaze when they reached it Ladders . were placed against the eaves, and a line of men with buckets woere pouring water on the roof. "The line extended to the town pump, where two energetic youths in their shirt sleeves were working the bandle with might and main. The houses mear at hand were brilliantly» illuminatiâ€"d, and men and women were bringing water from them in buckets, tin :pails, wash boilers and even coal scuttk»s. * Ingide the saloon another bustling craotrd was busily vrorking to "save" Mt. Saundars‘ property. A dozen of the members had tyrned the biggest pool table over on its back and were unscrewing the legs, beedless of the fact that to attermpt to get the table through the front door was an impossiâ€" bility and that, as ts« back door was in the thickest of the fire, it, too, was out of the question.

Bomebody ‘l1 pay for this, now you hear me! Hurry up with the water, you"â€" He tore frantically away to the pump and the three captains joined the crewd of volunteer fremen. Capâ€" one of the ladders to the roof :called to the men at work there. tain Eri, running round to the back of the building, took in the situation at ence. Back of the main portion of the saloon was an ell and it was in this ell that the fire bad started. ‘The ell itself was in a bright blaze, but the larger building in front was only just beginâ€" ning to burn.. The captain climbed "That shed‘s goue, Ben," he said. "Chuck your water on the main part here. Maybe if we had some ropes we might be able to pull the shed clear and then we could save the rest." "How‘d you fasten the ropes?" was the panted reply. . "She‘s all ablaze and a rope would burn through in a minute if you tied it anywheres." "Git some grapples and anchors out of Rogers‘ shop. He‘s got a whole lot of ‘em. Keep on with the water bus‘ness. I‘ll git the other stuff." He descended the ladder and exâ€" plained his idea to the crowd below. There was a great shout and twenty men and boys started on a run after ropes, while as many more stormed at the door of Nathaniel Rogers‘ blackâ€" smith shop. _ Rogers . was _ the local. dealer in ancbors and other marine lronwork. ‘The door of the shop was locked, but be produced the key and unlocked the door. In another minâ€" ute the greater portion of the ironâ€" work in the establishment was on its way to the fire. ‘The rope seekers were just returning, laden with everything from clothes lines to cables. Ialt a dozen boat anchors and a grapnel were fastened to as many ropes, and the crowd pranced gayly about the burning ell, looking for a chance to make them fast. Captain Eri found a party with â€"axes endeavoring to cut a hole through the side of the saloon‘in order to get out the pool table. After some endeavor he persuaded them to desist and they came around to the rear and, taking turns, ran in close to the shed and chopped at it until the fire drove thein away. At last they made a hole close to where it joined the main building, large enough to attach the grapnel. ‘Then with a "Yo heave ho!" every one took hold of the rope and pulled. Of course the grapnel pulled out with only a board or two, but they tried again, and, this time getting it around a beam, pulled a large portion of the shed to the ground. Meanwhile another ax party had atâ€" tached an anchor to the opposite side and were making good progress In due time the shed yawned away from the saloon, tottered and collapsed in a shower of #parks. A deluge of water goon extinguished these. ‘Then every one turned to the main building, and as the fire had not yet taken a firm hold of this they soon had it under conâ€" Captain Erl worked with the rest until be saw that the worst was over. Then he began the search that bad been in his mind since be first saw the blaze. ‘ He found Captain Jerry and Captain FPeres perspiringly passing buckets of water from hand to band in the line, and, calling them to one side, asked anxiously: â€"~"Have cither of you fellers scen Jolun Baxter tonight?"

"But then," he said, "Porez and me have been right here by the pump ever sence we come. He might be most any wheres else and we wouldn‘t see him. Want me to ask some of the other fellers?"
