CHAPTER XV— (Continued)
The sick man was raving In delirium
when he reached him but the sound
cf the water lapping the side3 of the
saucepan brought him to himself He
seized Ellery by the arm and drank
and drank When at last be desisted
ihe pan was half empty
The minister laid him gently back In
the bunk and stepped to the foot of
the ladder for breath ‘ This made him
-think of the necessity for air In -the
place and be remembered the little
window It was tightly closed and
rusted fast He went up to tha deck
found a marlin spike and returning-
broke the glass A sharp cold
draught swept through the forecastle
stirring the garments hanging on the
sails
An hour later two dories bumped
against the side of the San Jose Men
talking In low tones climbed oyer the
rail Burgess was one of them
ashamed of his panic he bad returned
to asslBt the others In-bringing the
brigantine Into a safer 'anchorage '5y
the Inlet
Dr Parker very grave but business-
like reached the deck among the first
“Mr Ellery” he shouted "where
are you?”
The minister's head and Bhoulders
appeared at the forecastle companion
'Here I am doctor" be said "Will
you come down?”
The doctor made no answer In
words but he hurried briskly across
the deck One man Ebeuezer Capen
an old fisherman and ex-whaler from
East Trumet started to follow him
but be was the only one The others
waited with scared faces by the rail
“Get ber under way and inshore as
soon as you can” ordered Dr Parker
‘Ebenezer you can help If 1 need
you below I'll call”
The minister backed down the lad-
der and the doctor followed him Par-
ker bent over the bunk for a few mo-
menta In Blleuce
“He's pretty bad” he muttered
'Mighty little chance Heavens what
at den! Who broke that window?”
"I did” replied Ellery “The air
down here was dreadful"
The doctor nodded approvingly “I
guess so" he said "It's bad enough
now We’ve got to get this poor fellow
out of here as soon as we can or he'll
die before tomorrow Mr Ellery" he
added sharply "what made you do
this? Don't you realize the risk you've
run ?"
"Some one had to do it You are
running the same risk"
“Not just the same and besides
ft's my business Why didn't you let
tome one else some one we could
spare — Humph! Confound It man!
didn't you know any better? Weren’t
you afraid?"
His tone rasped Ellery's shaken
nerves
"Of course I was" he snapped Ir-
ritably' "I'm not an Idiot" J
"Humph! Well all right I beg yoor
pardon But you oughtn't to have dons
it Now you'll hava to be quarantined
And who In thunder I can get to stay
with me in this case Is more than 1
know Just say smallpox to this town
and It goes to pieces like a smashed
egg Old Eb Capen will help for he’s
had it but It needs more than one"
"Where are you going to take —
him?" pointing to the moaning occu-
pant of the bunk
“To one of the empty fish shanties
on the beach There are beds there
such as they are and the' place Is se-
cluded We can burn it down when
the fuss is over”
"Then why can’t I stay? 1 shall
have to be quarantined 1 know that
Let me be the other nurse Why
should anyone else run the risk? I
have run It I'll stay”
Dr Parker looked at him "Well!"
he exclaimed “Well! 1 must say
young man that you've got — Humph!
All right Mr Ellery I'm much
obliged”
CHAPTER XVI
In Which Ebenezer Capen Is Sur-
prised Before sunset that afternoon the Pan
Jose was anchored behind the point
by the inlet The fishing boats changed
moorings and moved farther up for
not a single one of their owners would
trust himself within a hundred yards
of the stricken brigantirv
The largest of the beach shanties
one which stood by- itself a quarter of
a mile from the light was hurriedly
prepared for use as a pest house and
the sick sailor was carried there on
an Improvised stretcher Dr Parker
and Ellery lifted him from his berlh
and assisted by old Ebenezer Capen
got him up to the deck and lowered
him into the dory Ebenezer rowed
the trio to Ihe beach and the rest of
the journey was comparatively easyi
The shanty had three rooms one of
which was given up to the patient
one used as a living room and In the
third Capen and the minister wee to
6leep Mattresses were procured kind-
hearted townspeople donated cast-off
tables and chairs and the building
was made as comfortable as It could
be under the circumstances Sign
boards warning strangers to keep
away were erected and in addltiou to
them the Trunfet selectmen ordered
ropes stretched across the lane on
both sides of the shanty But ropes
and signs were superfluous Trumet
In general was in a blue funk and
bad no desire to approach within a
mile of the locality Even the driver
of the grocery cart when he left the
day's supply of groceries pushed fbe
packages under the ropes yelled a
hurried "Here you be!" aurl whipping
up his horse departed at a rattling gal-
lop The village sat up nights to discuss
Gie affair and every day brought a
new sensation The survivors of the
San Jose's crew a wretched panic-
stricken quartette of mulattos and
Pbrtuguese were apprehended on the
outskirts of Denboro the town below
Trumet on the bay side and were
promptly sequestered and fumigated
pending shipment to the hospital at
Boston Their story was short but
gruesome The brigantine was not a
Turks Islands boat but a coaster from
Jamaica She had sailed with a small
cargo for Savannah Two days out
and the smallpox made Its appearance
on board The sufferer a negro fore-
mast hand died Then another sailor
was seized and also died Tbe sklp-
Dr Parker Looked at Him
per who was tbe owner was the next
victim and the vessel was In a state
of demoralization which the mate an
Englishman named Bradford could
not overcome Then followed days
and nights of calm and terrible beat
of pestilence and all but mutiny The
mate himself died There was no one
left who understood navigation At
last came a southeast gale and the
Saa Jose drove before It Fair weath-
er found her abreast the Cape Tbe
survivors ran ber In after dark an-
chored and reached shore In the long-
boat Tbe sick man whom they had
left In the forecastle was a new band
who had shipped at Kingston His
name was Murphy they believed
They bad left him because be was
sure to die like the others and be-
sides they knew some one would see
the distress signals and Investigate
That was all yes Santa Marla 1 was
It not enough?
Captain Zeb Mayo went about cheer-
ing for blB parson Mrs Mayo rooked
delicacies to be pushe under the
ropes for the minister's consumption
The parish committee at a special
session voted an increase of salary
and ordered a weekly service of pray-
er for the safe delivery of their young
leader frem danger I
Kezlah Coffin was perhaps the one
person most disturbed by her parson's
heroism She would have gone to the
shanty Immediately had not Dr Par-
ker prevented Even as it was she
did go as far as the ropes but there
she was warded off by Ebenezer until
Ellery came running out and bade ber
come no nearer Keziah after more
expostulation went back to the par-
sonage She wrote to Grace and told
her the news of the San Jose but she
said nothing of the minister’s part In
It “Poor thing!" sighed Kezlah "she's
bearin’ enough already”
The sick sailor grew no better Days
and nights passed and be raved and
moaned or lay in a stupor Ebenezer
acted as day nurse while Ellery slept
and at night the minister being
younger went on watch The doctor
came frequently but said there was
no hope A question of time only and
a short time he said
Capen occupied his mind with specu-
lations concerning the patient
“Do you know parson" he said
"seein's If I'd seen the feller some-
wheres afore 'Course 1 never have
but when I used to go whalin’ v'yages
I cruised from one end of creation to
t'o’her pretty nigh and I might have
met him"
That night the sick man was much
worse His ravings were Incessant
The wooden clock loaned by Mrs Par-
ker tbe doctor's wife ticked steadily
although a half hour slow Ellery
glancing at it to see if 'lie time had
come for giving medicine suddenly
noticed how loud Its ticking sounded
Wondering at this he was aware there
was no other sound in Ihe house He
rose and looked 'in at the door of the
adjoining room The paiient had
ceased to rave and was lying quiet on
the bed
The minister tiptoed over to look at
b!m And as he did so the man
opened his eyes
“Halloo!" lie said faintly "Who are
you?”
Ellery startled made no answer
“Who are you?" demanded the man
again Then with an oath he re-
peated the question adding: "What
place i& this? This ain't the fo'castle
Where am 1?"
"You're ashore On Cape Cod At
Trumet"
"Trumet! Trumet!"
He was struggling to raise himself
on his elbow Ellery was obliged to
use force to hold him down He strug-
gled again Then his strength and his
reason left him simultaneously and the
delirium returned He began to shout
a name a name Ibat caused Ellery to
stand upright and step back from the
bed scarcely believing his ears
All the rest of that night the man
on the bed raved and muttered but of
people and places and happenings
which he had not mentioned before
And the minister listening in'ently to
every word caught bimsplf wondering
if he also was not losing his mind
When the morning came Ebenezer
Capen was awakened by a shake to
find John Ellery standing over him
"Capen” whispered thp minister
"Capen get up 1 must talk with you
You used to be a whaler I know
Were you acquainted in New Bed-
ford?" "Sartln Was a time when I could
have located every stick In it pretty
nigh by tbe smell If you'd set me
down side of ’em blindfolded”
"Did you ever know anyone
named — " He finished the sentence
"Well's I wanted to Pretty decent
feller one time but a fast goer and
went downhill like a young one's sled
when he got started His folks had
mouey that was the trouble with him
Why 'course 1 knew him He mar-
ried — ”
"I know Now' listen"
Ellery went on talking rapidly and
with great earnestness Ebenezer lis-
tened at first silently then breaking
in with ejaculations and grunts of as-
tonishment He sat up on the edge of
the bed
"RuhbiBh!” he cried at last "Wby
'tain't possible! The feller's dead aa
MetbuEalcm's grandmartn 1 remem-
ber how it happened and — ”
“it wasn’t true Thai much 1 know
1 know 1 tell you”
He went on to explain why he knew
Capen's astonishment grew
"Judas priest!" he exclaimed again
“That would explain why 1 thought I'd
seen — There! heave ahead I've
got to see But it's a mistake 1 don't
believe It"
The pair entered the sick room
The sailor lay in a stupor His breath-
ing was rapid but faint Capen bent
over him and gently moved the baud-
age on hia face For a full minute he
gazed steadily Then be stood erect
drew a big red hand across his fore-
head and moved slowly back to the
living room
“Yup" he said “It's him Mr El-
lery wbat are you goln to do about
ltr
"I don't know I don't know I
must go somewhere by myself and
think I don't know what to do"
The minister declined to wait for
breakfast He said he was not hungry
Leaving Ebenezer to put on the coffee-
pot and take up hia duties as day
nurse Ellery walked off along the
beach By and by be heard Capen call-
ing his name
"Mr Ellery" shouted Ebenezer
"Mr Ellery where be you?"
"Here!" replied the minister
The old man came scrambling over
the sand He was panting and much
excited
"Mr Ellery!" he cried “Mr Ellery T
It’s settled for us — one part of it any-
how He’s slipped his cable Yup He
must have died just a little while after
you left and after I gave him his
medicine I thought he looked kind of
queer then And when the doctor
came we went in together and he was
dead Yes sir dead”
"Dead!”
"Um-hm No doubt of It It’s for
good this time Mr Ellery what Bhatl
we do? Shall I tell Dr Parker?”
Ellery considered for a moment
"No” he said slowly "No Capen
don't tell anyone I can’t see why
they need ever know that he hasn't
been dead for years as they supposed
Promise me to keep It a secret I'll
tell— her — myself later on Now prom-
ise me 1 trust you”
"Land sakes yes! Ill promise If
you want me to”
The next day the body of "Murphy"
foremast hand on the San Jose was
buried In the corner of the Regular
graveyard near those who were
drowned In the wreck of that winter
Capen remained at tbe shanty another
week Then as the minister showed
no symptoms of having contracted the
disease and insisted that be needed no
companion Ebenezer departed to take
up his fishing once more
Ellery himself was most urgent In
tbe decision that he should not go
back to the parsonage and his church
just yet Better to wait until he was
sure lie said and Dr Parker agreed
Dr Parker told him of Grace Van
Horne’s return to the village She had
come hack so the doctor said the day
before and was to live at the tavern
for a while at least Yes he guessed
even she had given up hope of Cap-
lain Nat now
"And say" yvent on Parker "what
The Old IVUn Came Scrambling Over
the Sand
I want to know is whether you think
I could leave you for a couple of days?
The Ostable County Medical Society
meets at Hyanuis tomorrow and 1 had
promised myself to take it In this
year But I don't want to leave you
if you need me"
Ellery insisted that he did not need
anyone was getting along finely and
would ot hear to his friend's miss-
ing the medical society's meeting So
the physician went John Ellery did
not feel cheerful that afternoon The
tired feeling he bad spoken of so light-
ly was worse than he had described It
and he was despondent for no particu-
lar reason That night he slept miser-
ably anJ awoke wl b a chill to find a
cold pouring rain beating against tbe
windows of tbe shanty
He lay down on bis bed and tried to
sleep but though be dozed a bit woke
always with a start and either a chill
or fever fit Hia head begn to ache
violently And then in tbe lonesome-
ness and misery fear began to take
bold of him
Night came The rain had ceased
and stars were shining clear Inside
the shanty the minister tossed on tbe
bed or staggered back and forth about
tbe two rooms He wondered what
the time might be then he did not
care He was alone The smallpox
had him In Its grip Wby didn’t some
one come? Where was Mrs Coffin?
And Grace? She was somewhere mar
him — Parker had said so — and be must
see her before he died He called her
name over and over again
The wind telt cold on bis forehead
He stumbled binidst the beach gras-s
Wbat was this thing across his pu:i ’
A rope apparently but why should
there be ropes in that house? There
had never been any before He
climbed over it and it i was a climb
of hundreds of feet and the height'
made him giddy That was a house
another bouse not the ore he had
been living In And there were lights
all about Perhaps one of them was
:he light at the parsonage And a big
bell was booming That was bis
church bell and be would be late for
tbe meeting
Some one was speaking to him He
knew the voice He had known It al-
ways and would know it forever It
was the voice he wanted to bear
"Grace!" he called “Grace! I want
you Don't go! Don't go! Grace!
oh my dear! don’t go"
Then the voice had gone No It had
not gone It was still there and be
heard it speaking to him begging him
to listen pleading with him to go
somewhere go back back to some-
thing or other And there was an
arm about his waist and some one
was leading him helping him He
broke down and cried childishly and
same one cried with him

my baby was about a month old I
stumbled and fell over a cuspidor and
contracted such pains In my back t
could not stoop over without falling to
the floor
I got terribly weak and was very
uneasy about myself
My case was certainly a serious one
I was so delicate that most people
thought I was going to have consump-
tion and I thought so myself
Finally my husband advised me to
try Cardul tbe woman’B tonic I tried
It and am confident that it saved m
life
The pains In my side and hack have
disappeared and all of my friends
here-say that I am looking better than
I have done for a long time
I recommend Cardul to all of my
lady friends as I believe It will help
them just &b it did me if they will
onL give it a trial
You may use this letter In any way
you wish I feel bo grateful for If it
had not been for Cardul the woman's
tonic I believe I would by this tlm
have been In my grave”
Try Cardul for your troubles It will
help you as It did Mrs Johnson '
