ADDPLINLLLNDNO: LODLPDPPL:PLRQ: "Captain Davis," said Ralph, "you must have seen some plucky things in your life. What was the bravest thing you ever saw done?" The life saver took the cigar that Hazeltine had given him from his mouth and blew the smoke into the air over his head. "Well," he said slowly, "I don‘t know exactly. I‘ve seen some pretty gritty things done ‘longshore here in the seryvâ€" ce, When there‘s somebody drowndin‘, and you know ibere‘s a chance to savre ‘em, you‘ll take chances, and think nothin‘ of ‘em, that you wouldn‘t take £ you had time to set down and cal‘late a little. I see somethin‘ done once that may not strike you as bein‘ anything out of the usual run, but that has alâ€" ways seemed to me clear grit and nothin‘ else. "Twa‘n‘t savin‘ life nelâ€" ther; ‘twas jest a matter of bus‘ness. . "It hbappened up off the coast of Maine ‘long in the seventies, I was actâ€" in‘ as sort of second mate on a lumber schooner. ‘Twas a pitch black night, or mornin‘, rather, ‘bout 6 o‘clock, blowin‘ like all possessed and colder‘n Greenland. We struck a rock that wa‘n‘t even down on an Eldredge chart and punched a hole in the schooner‘s side jest above what ought to have been the water line, only she was heelâ€" ed over so that ‘twas consider‘ble beâ€" low it most of the time. We had a mean crew aboard, Portugees mainly, and poor ones at that. The skipper was below asleep, and when he come on deck things was in‘ a bad way. We‘d got the canvas off ber, but she was takin‘ in water every time she rollâ€" ed, and there was a sea goin‘ that was tearin‘ things loose in great shape. We shipped one old grayback that ripped off a strip of the lee rail jest the same as you‘d rip the edge off the cover of a pasteboard boxâ€"never made no more fuss about it éither. "I didn‘t see nothin‘ to do but git out the boats, but the skipper he wa‘n‘t that kind. He sized things up in a burry, I tell you. He drove the crewâ€"ha‘f of ‘em was prayin‘ to the Virgin and tother ha‘f swearin‘ a blue streakâ€"to the pumps, and set me over ‘em with a revolver to keep ‘em workin‘. Then him and the fust mate and one or two of the best hands rousted out a spare gail, weighted one edge of it to keep it down, and got it over the side, made fast, of course. "Then him and the mate stripped to their underclothes, rigged a sort of bos‘n‘s chair over where the hole in the side was, took hammers and a pocketâ€" ful of nails apiece and started in to nall that eanvas over the hole. ""Twas freezin‘ cold, and the old schooner was rollin‘ like a washtub.. One minute I‘d see the skipper and the mate hb‘isted up in the afr, hammerin‘ for dear life, and then, swash! Under they‘d go, clear under, and stay there, seemed to me, forever. Every dip I thought would be the end, and I‘d shet my eyes, expectin‘ to see ‘em gone when she lifted; but no; up they‘d come, fetch a breath, shake the salt water out of their eyes and go to work gern in **"Folur hours and a quarter they was at it, four hours, mind you, and under water a good ha‘f of the time; but they got that sail nailed fast fin‘lly. We got ‘em on deck when ‘twas done, and we had to carry the fust mate to the cabin. But the skipper jest sent the cook for a pail of bilin‘ hot coffee, drunk the whole of it, put on dry elothes over his wet flannels and stayed on deck and worked that schooner into Portland harbor, the men pumpin‘ clear green water out of the hold every minute of the way. "Now, that always seemed to me to be the reel thing. ‘Twa‘nt a quesâ€" tion of savin‘ lifeâ€"we could have took to the boats and, nine chances out of ten, got ashore all right,"for ‘twa‘nt Â¥very fur. But no, the skipper said he‘d pever lost a vessel for an owner yit, and be wa‘n‘t goin‘ to lose this one. And he didn‘t either, by Judas! No, airt" 3 "Thatâ€"was â€"epleadid!"â€"exclaimed Elâ€" gle. "I should like to have known that captain. Who was he, Captain Davis?"" "Well, the fust mate was Obed Simâ€" monsâ€"he‘s dead nowâ€"but he used to live over on the road towards East Harniss. _The skipperâ€"well, he was a feller you know." > â€""*"Twas Cap‘n Bri," said Mrs, Snow with seanvictinn .

"Well!" exclaimed Raiph,. "I don‘t believe I should have guessed it. I‘ve always liked the captain, but he has seemed so full of fun and so easy going that I never thought of his doing anything quite so strenuous." Captain Davis laughed. "I‘ve seen fo‘mast hands try to take advantage of that easy goin‘ way ‘fore now," be said, "but they never did it but once.

The electrician looked at ber, and again the thought of that disgraceâ€" ful ‘Gusty Black episode was forced intg_his mind. e« ~=4 *=4 â€"~â€"â€" ~ "He has been so kind to grandfather and me," said Elsic, "that I feel as though we were under an obligation we never could repay. When I came down here I knew no one in Orbam, and he and Captain Jerry and Captain Perez have made me feel more at home than I have ever felt before. You know," she added, "grandfather is the ouly reiâ€" ative I have." "I suppose you will go back to your studies when your grandfather recoyâ€" ers." "I don‘t know. If grandfather i3 well enough I think I shall try to perâ€" suade him to come up to Boston an‘l live with me. Then I might perhaps teach. This was to have been my last year at Radcliffe, sa my giving it up will not make so much difference: D« you intend to stay here long? I supâ€" pose you do. Your profession, I know, means so much to you, and your work at the station must be very interestâ€" ing." "It would be more so if 1 had some one who was interested with me. Mr. Langley is kind, but he is so wrapped up in his own work that I see very little of him. I took the place because I thought it would give me a good deal of spare time that I might use in furâ€" thering some experiments of my own. Electricity is my hobby, and I have one or two ideas that I am foolish enough to hope may be worth developing. I have bad time enough, goodness knows, but it‘s aâ€"lonesome sort of life. ~* ** The captain was standing on a sand dune near the station, shouting their pames through a speaking trumpet formed by placing his hands about his mouth. As the pair came strolling toward him he shifted his hands to his trousers pockets and stood watching the young couple with a sort of balf smile., * "Iâ€"s‘pose if Jerry was hers now," ho mused, "he‘d think his schome was workin‘. Well, maybe ‘tis, maybe ‘tis. You can‘t.povet tell. , Well. 1 swan!" ‘The exclamation was caned forth by the sight of Captain Perez and Miss Pationce, who suddenly came into view around the corner of the station. The captain was gallantly assisting hbis companion over the rough places in the path, and she was leaning upon his arm in a manner that implied implicit confidence. Captain Eri glanced from one couple to the other, and then grinued broadly. The grin had not enâ€" tirely disappearoed when Captain Pores came up, and the Jatter rather crisply asked what the joke was. "That‘s right, ma‘am. Perez tolid "Ohb, nothin‘‘" was the reply. "I was jest thinkin‘ we must be playin‘ some kind of a game, and I was it." sled "Why, yes. I‘m kindor like ‘Rastus Bailey nsed to be at the dances when you and me was younger, Perez. Old man Alexanderâ€"be was the Addler= used to sing out, ‘Chooso partners for Hull‘s vict‘ty,‘ or something like that, and it always took ‘Ras so long to make up his mind what girl to choose that he gin‘rally got left altogether. Then he‘d set on the settce all through the dance and say be never cared much for Hull‘s yict‘ry anyway. Beems to me I‘m the only one that aln‘t choosed partners. How ‘bout it, Pores?" "Mare fool_you, that‘s all I‘ve got to "It?" queried Miss Patience, puzâ€" 1 ever spe. Me and Jerry‘s been thinkin‘ we‘d kave to build a fence round the house to keep the girls away when he‘s home. Why, M‘lissy Busteed fairly"â€" _ "Ob, give us a rest, Eri!" exciaimed Perez, with even more indignation than was necessary. "M‘lissy Busteed!" Just then Ralph and Elsio came up, and Captain Eri explained that he had hailed them because it was time to be going if they wanted to get across to the mainland without swimming. They walked around to the back door of the station and there found Mrs. Snow and Captain Davis by the hen yard. The lady from Nantucket had discovered a sick chicken in the collection, and she was holding it in her lap and at the same time discoursing learnediy on the relative value of Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds as layers. *Bee there!" exclaimed Captain Eri delightedly, pointing to the suffering pgllet. "What did I tell you? D‘ you wonder we picked her out for nuss for Jobn, Luther? Even a sick hen knows enough to go to her." They harnessed Daniel to the carryâ€" all and stowed the living freight aboard somehow, although Captain Peres proâ€" tested that he had eaten so much dinâ€" ner he didn‘t know‘s he‘d be able to bang on the way he did coming down. Then they said farewell to Captain Davis and his sister and started for home. ‘The members of the crew, such of them as were about the station, waved goodby to them as they passed. "Things kind of average up in this world, don‘t they?" said Captain Eri renectively as he steered Dame: aiong the soft beach toward the ford. "We‘re all the time readin‘ ‘bout fellers that work for the gov‘ment gittin‘ high sal‘â€" ries and doin‘ next to nothin‘. Now, there‘s a gangâ€"the life savin‘ crew, 1 â€"meanâ€"that does what you and me would call almighty bard work and git next to nothin‘ for it Uncle Sam gits square there, it seems to me.. A few dollars a month and find yourself sin‘t gilt edged wages for bein‘ froze and drownded and blown to pieces ten onths out of the.year, is it?" : ‘The tide was higner wnen tmey came to the crossing than it had been when they drove over before, but they made the passage all right, aithough there was some nervousness displayed by the feminine portion of the party. < When they reached home they found Captain Jerry contentediy smoking his pipe, the sick man was asleep, and everyâ€" thing was serene. Josiah appeared from behind the barn, where he bad been smoking a cigarette. They pressed Mr. Hazeltine to stay to supper, but he declined, alleging that he had been away from business too long already. ~He had been reâ€" markably silent during the homewsrd ride, and Elsie, too, had seemed busy with her thoughts. She was full of fun at the supper table, bowever, and the meal was a jolly one. Just as it was finished Captain Jerry struck the table a bang with his paim that made the knives and forks jump and so startled Captain Perez as to cause him to spill half a cup of tea over his shirt bosom. "Land of love!" ejacuiated the vicâ€" tim, mopping his chin and his tie with his napkin. "It‘s bad enough to scare a feller to death, let alone drowndin‘ and scaldin‘ him at the same time. What did you do that for?" His friend was too busy to pay any attention to this advice. The pocket gearch apparently being unsatisfactory, be rose from the table and hurriedly madea round of the room, looking on the manteipiece and under chairs. "I jest thought of somethin‘," exâ€" claimed Captain Jerry, going through one pocket after the other. "Well, I wish you‘d have your thinkâ€" in‘ fits in the barn or somewheres else next time. I put this shirt on clean this mornin‘ and now look at it!" "I had it when I come in," he soliloâ€" quized. "I know I did, ‘cause I was wearin‘ it when I went out to see to the hens; I don‘t see where"â€" "If it‘s your hat you‘re looking for," observed Josiah, "I saw Mrs, Snow hang it up on the nail behind the door. There it is now." * The reply to this was merely a grunt, which may or may not have exâ€" pressed approval. . _ At any rate, the hat was apparéently the object of his search, for he took it from the nail, looked inside, and with a sigh of relief took out a crumpled envelope. "I knew I put it somewheres," he said. â€""It‘s a letter for you; Elsic.â€"Joâ€" slah, here, he brought it down from the postoffice when he come from school this afternoon. I meant to give it to you afore." Captain Erl, who sat next to the young lady, noticed that the envelope was addressed in an irregular, sprawlâ€" ing hand to "Miss Elizabeth Preston, Orham, Mass." Elsie Jooked it over in the absent way in which so many of us examine the outside of a letter which comes unexpectedly. "I wonder who it is from?" she said. She did not open it at once, but, tucking it into her waist, announced that she must run upstairs in order that Mrs. Snow might come down to supnper. ‘The housckeeper did come down a few minutes later, and, as she Look out for Baby.

Shortly afterward Eisio came down, wearing ber bat and jacket. “Pw‘mffl’lllub while," she .*No, I don‘t want any one to go with me. I‘ll be back soon." Her back was turned to the three "Where did you git that letter, Jo siah?" asked Captain Eri Luther Devis and his sister, the taik became animated and general. It wis after 8 o‘clock when Mrs. opened the door, the lamplight shone for an instant on her face, and Captain Eri noticed, or fancied that he did, that and again offered to accompany her, but met with such a firm refusa) that he could not insist further, "Now, that‘s kind of funny, ain‘t it?" remarked Perez. "I don‘t believe she‘s been out alone afore after dark sence she‘s been here." It may asd well tbe explained here that Captain Perez‘s grandnephew was a thorn in the fiesh of every one, in cluding his induigent relative, He was a little afraid of Airs. Buow, and obeyed her better than he did any one else, but that is not saying a great deal. He was in mischief in school twoâ€"thirds of the time, and his reports, made out by the teacher, were anything but complimentary. He was a good looking boy, the image of his mother, who had been her uncle‘s favorite, and be was popular with a certain class of youngsters. Also, and this was worse, his work at the livery stable had thrown him in contact with a crowd of men like Squealer ‘Wixon, Web Saunders and others of their class, and they appreciated his New York street training aud made much of him, Capâ€" tain Perez, mindful of his promise to the boy‘s mother, did not use the necâ€" essary measures to control him, and Captain Eri and Captain Jerry did not like to interfere. Just uow he was seated in the corner, and he looked up with a start, burâ€" riedly folded up the tattered paper book he was reading, stuffed it into his pocket and said, "What?" _ *"Who give you that letter that come for Elsie?" "Miss Cahoon, up at the office. It was in. our box," said the boy. "Humph! What are you readin‘ that‘s so interestin‘?" "Oh, nothin‘. A book, that‘s all "Let me look at it." Josiah hesitated, looked as though he would like to refuse, and then sullenly took the ragged volume from his pockâ€" et and handed it to the captain, who deliberately unfolded it and looked at the cover.

The captain opened the book and read a page or two to himself. ‘Then he said: "I see he knocked the skipper down ‘cause he insulted him. Nice, spunky chap. T‘d like to have bad him aboard a vessel of mine. And he called the old man a ‘caitiff bound? Awful thing to call a feller, that is. I‘ll bet that skipper felt ashamed. Looks like a good book. T‘ll borrow it tonight to read while you‘re doin‘ your lessons." "I ain‘t got any lessons to do." "Oh, ain‘t you? I thought that was & ‘rithmetic over there." 4 "Well, I know ‘em now. Besides, you ain‘t got any right to order me mround. You ain‘t my uncle. Can‘t I read that book, Uncle Perez?" Rover of the Pacific,‘‘ he read aloud. Poor Perez! He hesitated, swallowed once or twice and answered: "You can tead it after you‘ve studied a spell. You‘ll let him have it then, won‘t you, Eri? Now study, like a good boy." Captain Eri looked as if he would like to say something further, but he evidently thought better of it, and tossed the paper novel across to Capâ€" tain Perez, who put it on the hblg saying, rather feebly:; _ _ .... *"pnore‘ ow It‘s right there, wnere you can have it soon‘s you‘ve Farned your examples.

Soon Josiah, announcing that his studies were completed, grabbed the novel from the table, took a lamp from the kitchen and went off to bed.
