Bom* one waa talkln* fticltedlf on
«be sidewalk beyond the HlftC bu.bfta
at the border of the Danlela property.
Voices answered. Dldfttna Hogera
darted out of her yard and past th«
bouse In the direction of the sounds,
ealtera rose and walked down to tbo
fate Emulous Sparrow, the flab ped-
dler. waa seated In his cart, which waa
nurrounded by men and women, neigh-
bors of the Danlelses. There was a
perfect ptorm and queatlonlngs ana
wjaculatlona. Baiters opened the gate
and Joined the group. A moment
later he came running back, up tbe
■walk toward tbe piazza.
"Cap'n," he shouted. "Cap'n Elkan-
«h, here's news! What do you thinkT
A telegram's Just come from Nat
Hammond. He's safe and sound In
Hew York, and he'll be here day after
tomorrow." , .
They could not believe It and rush-
wd out to bear more. Emulous, glow-
ing with Importance, affirmed that it
•was so. He had seen the telegram at
•the store. It was for Grace Van
Home and they were Just going to
wend a boy over to the shanty with
" Captain Elkanah seized Salters by
the arm and led him out of the grouP-
The old man's face was alight w th
•avage Joy and his voice shook with
■exultation. „„«.»>
•Til tell you one thing it means,
be whispered. "It means the end of
Ellery, so far as his marrying her 1
concerned. She gave her word t°
Hammond and she'll keep It She s
®o liar, whatever else she is. He may
be minister of the Regular church
though I'll uiever set under^ him, but
ke'll never marry her, now."
CHAPTER XVIII.
«n Which ■ Reception Is Called Off.
Far out on tbe Pacific coast there
are two small islands, perhaps a hun-
dred miles distant from one another.
The first of these is uninhabited. On
the other is a little colony of English-
wpeaking people, half breed descend-
ants of native women and the Burviv-
ors of « crew from a British vessel
cast away there in the latter part of
the eighteenth century.
On the first of these islands, the
emaller one. the Sea Mist had been
wrecked. Driven out of her course by
a typhoon, she staggered through day
after day and night after night oT
terrific wind and storm until, at laftt,
there was promise of fair weather.
Captain Nat, nearly worn out from
anxiety care, and tbe k>a« of sleep,
had goae to his stateroom and tbe
first mate waa In charge- 11 was three
o'clock the wind still blowing and the
darkness pitchy, wbea the forward
lookout shrieked a warning. "Breakers
aadsr the lewf" Almost the next la-
rumii , »#ir
„ U? I A hundred miles they sailed In lbs
longboat snd. at Iftfti. ibe second Isl-
and waa sighted They landed and
found, to their consternation and ftur-
prise. Ibftt It. too. w«s unlnbftblted
Tbe former residents bsd grown tired
of tbelr Isolation and. ft tr»dlng ves-
sel having touched there, bsd seised
the opportunity to depart for Tahiti.
Their houses wsre empty, tbelr cat-
tle. sheep, goats, and fowl roamed
wild In the woods, and the fruit was
rotting on the trees. In Its way ths
little Island was an Eveleas Eden,
flowing with milk and honey; but to
Captain Nat. a conscientious skipper
with responsibilities to his owners. It
waa a prison from which h« deter-
mined to escape. Then, as If to make
escape Impossible, a sudden gale came
up and the longboat was smashed by
the surf.
"I guess that settles It." ruefully
observed tbe second mate, another
Cape Codder, from Hyannls. "Cal'lato
we'll atay here for a spell now, hey,
"For a spell, yes." replied Nat
"We'll stay here until we get another
craft to set sail In. and no longer."
"Another craft? Another one?
Where In time you goln' to get her?"
"Build ber." said Captain Nat cheer-
fully. Then, pointing to the row of
empty houses and the little deserted
church, he added, "There's timber and
nails-yes. and cloth, such as 'tis. If
I can't build a boat out of them 111
agree to eat the whole settlement"
He did not have to eat It, for the
boat was built. It took them six
months to build her, and she was a
curious-looking vessel when done, but,
as the skipper said. "She may not be
a clipper, but she'll sail anywhere, if
you give her time enough." He had
been the guiding spirit of the whole
enterprise, planning it, laying the keel,
burning buildings to obtain nails and
iron, hewing trees for the largest
beams, showing them how to spin

Even a strip of carpet from the church

not satisfied.

"Certainly not And I hope be

or back he'll go again. We must see
Mrs. Coffin. Kezlah Is our main hold.
That woman has got more sense than
all the rest of us put together."
But It waa Qrace. not Kezlah. who
opened the shanty door In answer to
their knock. She was pale and greet-
ed* them calmly, but It waa evident
that her calmness was the result of
sheer will power.
"Wet you come In, doctor?" she
asked. "Good afternoon. Captain
Mayo." , . t
Dr. Parker entered the building, but
Captain Zeb remained outside, stam-
mering that he cal'lated he'd better
stay where he could keep an eye on
his horse. This was such a trans-
parent excuse that it would have been
funny at any other time. No ona
smiled now, however.
"jg—is Mrs. Coffin—er—Keiiah
aboard?" the captain asked.
"No, she isn't. She went to the
parsonage a few hours ago. Mr. Ellis
brought the mail and there was a let-
ter in It for her. She said It was im-
portant and that she must go home
to see about some things. She'll be
back pretty soon, I suppose."
Parker found bis patient sleeping
soundly and had not disturbed him.
Returning to the living room he spoke
to Grace
"Humyh!" he grunted, watching her
from under his brows, "everything
seems 'to be all right in there. He
mustn't be told anything that will up-
set him. He's getting well fast and
I want it to continue."
'Yes, I understand."
'Hum! Er—have you heard— Has
anyone been here?"
"Yes. I have heard. The telegram
came and I answered it."
"You did? Well, it's a miracle and
we're all thankful, of course. Did
you—er—er "
"Doctor, I must go home. I mustn't
stay here any longer. You know why
not. I must be at home when he
comes. You must get some one to
take my place. Aunt Keziah will stay,
of course, and perhaps Mrs. Higgins
would come."
"But stay through tomorrow, at any
rate. Nat won't get here until Thurs-
day, and I may be able to find anoth-
er nurse by that time. And what I
shall say to him," motioning toward
the other room, "I don't know."
"Must you say anything? Just say
that I havo been called away for a
few days on—on some business. Don't
tell him. Don't tell him the truth,
doctor, now. He Is too weak and I
am afraid "
She stopped and turned away. The
doctor watched her pityingly. He
would have liked to say much more,
but be could not. under the circum-
stances. He stammered a good-by
and. with a question concerning Mrs.
Coffin's whereabouts, went/out to Join
Captain Zeb.

Captain Elkanah Daniels and hlft
friend were feeling better and they
were busy. Trufnet had a new hero
now. On. Wednesday the Boston papers
printed excerpts from Captain Ham-
mond's story, and these brief pre-
liminary accounts aroused the admira-
tion of every citizen. It was proposed
to give him a reception. Elkanah was
the moving spirit in the preparations.
Captain Nat. so they learned by tele-
graphing, would arrive on the noon
train Thursday. His was nol to be a
prosaic progress by stage all the way
from Sandwich. A special carriage,
drawn by the Daniels' span and es-
corted by other yehicles, was to meet
the coach at Bayport and bring him
to Trumet in triumphant procession.
All this was to be a surprise, of
course.
Wednesday afternoon the Daniels
following was cheered by the, tidings
that Grace Van Horne had left the
beach and was at her old home, the
Hammond taVern. And Mrs. Pound-
berry reported her busy as a bee
"gettln* tilings ready."
Thursday was a perfect day, and
the reception committee was on hand
and waiting In front of the Bayport
post office. The special carriage, the
span brushed and curried until their
coats glistened in the sunshine, was
drawn up beside the platform. The
horses had little flags fastened to
their bridles, and there were other
and larger flags on each 6ide of the
dashboard. Captain Daniels. Imposing
in his Sunday raiment, high-collared
coat, stock, silk hat and gold-headed
cane, sat stiffly erect on the seat In
the rear. The other carriages were
alongside, among them Captain Zebe-
dee Mayo's ancient chaise, the white
horse sound asleep between the shafts.
Captain Zeb had not been invited to
join the escort, but had Joined It
without an invitation. Kyan Pepper
was there also,- not yet fully recov-
ered from the surprise which Lavinia's
gracious permission had given him.

Natural Advantaqe-
"I suppose." said Mr. Meekton, "It
would be in a certain sense a saving
of time to let the women run the af-
fairs of tbe country."
"Foifcwhat reason?"
"When ft man discusses politic* he
wants to stop everything else, but •
woman can go right on with any sort
of animated conversation and never
drop a crochet stUak."
by a tornado which wiped out the
southern part of Terre Haute.
A total of seven bodies has been
discovered. Scores were Injured and
property damage will reach Into tha
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
All wires were blown down in the
district afTected. This prevented res-
cue work although every available fire
man and policeman was rushed to the
stricken district. It is expected the
death list will be increased.
With 110 warning the terrific gale
swept down upon the district. Parts
of the Root Glass company's plant waa
flattened. The end of the foundry
room of the Gartland factory, a solid
brick wall 18 inches thick, was caved
in. Brick and stone structures suf
fered alike.
Lightning set fire to many houses.
Men, women and children were
crushed to death in bed. Some es
caped to the cellars. Whole structures
were blown away by the force of the
wind. The maimed were rushed to
hospitals as fast as they were extri-
cated.
Difficulty was experienced In obtain-
ing doctors and the firemen were uu
able to cope with the flames which
swept the district. The heavy down
pour of rain is all that prevented
scores of injured from being burned
in the debris of their homes.
Yutan Wiped Out.
Lincoln, Msb.—A tornado, forming
near Greenwood, swept over the east-
ern part of the state, resulting in the
death of at least twenty persons, while
*,en more are missing and over a hun-
dred are injured.
Yutan, sixteen miles north of Ash-
land, suffered the most of any city.
Eleven persons are known to have
been killed at that place, ten are miss-
ing, while fifty more are injured. With
the waterworks out of commission, a
fire broke out and the entire town
was threatened.
May Lower Rates For Parcel Post.
Washington-Reduction in parcel post
rates are foreshadowed by data which
the postoffice department has been
collecting as to the cost of the n«w
service. It was stated that the infor-
mation gathered would Justify Post-
master General Burleson in applyiug
to the interstate commerce commis-
sion for permission to reduce the
rates on packages for transm^aaion be-
tween cities in distances of less than
SOO miles The weight limit may be
increased for packages from eleven ta
fifteen pounds.
