"Stop your foolishness. Oh. I I
ask your pardon, Mr. Ellery. That
alnt no way to talk to a minister. But
I'm goln' to go out when I want to if
I bust a hole through the clapboards.
I alnt fasclnatln*. You ask any wom-
an—except her—If I be, and see what
they say. What'll I do?"
"Ha ha! I don't know, I'm sure. You
might'lock her up. I suppose, just for
a change."
"Hey!" There was a aound from be-
hind the pane as if the imprisoned one
had slapped his knee. "By gum! I
never thought of that. Would you

Run around to the door, Mr. El-
quick. And don't tell her I'vo

now, will ye? Pl^se! Run!
The minister did not run. but he
walked briskly around the corner.
Sure enough, Lavlnla was there. Just
unlocking the door. She expressed her-
aelf as very glad to see the caller,
ushered him Into the sitting room and
disappeared, returning In another mo-
ment with her brother, Whom she un-
blushlngly said had been taking a nap.
Ablshal did not contradict her; in-
stead. he merely looked apprehensive-
ly at the minister.
The call was a short one. Lavlnla
did seven-eighths of the talking and
Ellory tho rest. Kyan was silent.
He told no one of Kyan a confi-
dential disclosure, and. after somo
speculation as to whether or not there
might be a sequel, put the whole lu-
dicrous affair out of his mind. A week
from the following Sunday he dined in
the Daniela* table. Captain
a»n waa gracioua and condesoend-
ln*. Annabel was more than that.
Sbe waa dressed In her newest gown
and waa so very gushing and affable
that the minister felt rather embar-
rassed When, after the meal waa

her Then a crow, on* of a*v*ml
whirling abov* tb* pines, spied tbo In-
truder and acreamed a warning. Tb*
mlnlater was atartled and stepped
bark. A dead limb beneath hla foot
cracked aharply (lraee turned and
aaw him.
Oh!" ahe cried. "Who Is It?"
Ellery emerged from tbo ahadow.
'Don't bo frightened. Mlaa Vaa
Home," he aald. "It la—or—I."
"You cama to aee the aunaot. I
suppose?" sbe said hurriedly, aa If to
head off a queetlon. "So did I. It la
a beautiful evening for a walk, lan't
It?"
She bad ssld precisely the asme
thing on that other evening, when
they stood In the middle or "Ham-
mond's Turn-off" In the driving rain.
He remembered it, and ao, evidently,
did she, for she colored slightly and
smiled.
"I mean It this time." she ssld. "I'm
glad you didn't get cold from ypur
wetting the other day."
"Oh! I wasn't very wet Yon
wouldn't let me lend you the umbrella,
so I had that to protect me on the way
home."
"Not then; I meant the other morn-
ing when Nat—Cap'n Hammond—met
you on tho flats. Ho said you were
wading the main channel and It was
over your boots."
"It was worse than that, a good deal
worse. It might have been my last
cruise. I'm pretty certain that I owe
the captain my life. That part of the
channel I proposed swimming was ex-
actly where two men have been
drowned, so people say. I'm not a
very strong swimmer, and they were.
So, you see."
Grace cried out In astonishment.
"Oh!" she exclaimed. Then point-
ing toward the bay, she asked: "Out
there, by the end of that leader, was
it?"
"Yes, that was it."
She drew a long breath. Then, after
a moment:
"And Nat spoke as if it was all
Joke," she said.
"No doubt he did. From what I hear
of your brother, he generally refers to
his own plucky, capable actions as
Jokes. Other people call them some-
thing else."
"He Isn't my brother," she inter-
rupted absently. "I wish he was."
She sighed as she uttered the last
sentence.
"No, of course he isn't your real
brother; I forgot. But he must seem
like one "
"Yes," rather doubtfully.
"Ycu must be proud of him."
"I am." there was nothing doubtful
this time.
"Miss Van Horne! What did your
uncle say about Cap'n Nat's meeting
me the other day?"
"Uncle Eben doesnt know. Nat
didn't tell anyone but ma. Ho doesn't
boaBt. And uncle would be glad he
helped you. As I told you before. Mr.
Ellery, I'm not ashamed of my uncle.
He has been so good to me that I nev-
er can repay him, never! When my
own father was drowned he took me
in, a little orphan that would prob-
ably have been sent to a home. When
he needed money most he said nothing
to me, but insisted that I should be
educated. I didn't know until after-
wards of the self-sacrifloe my four
years at th* Middleboro Academy
meant to him.*"
"So you went away to scnool?" be
mused. "This Is why—"
"That Is why I dont say *never don*
nothin" and *be yon' and *balnt
neither.' Tea, thank yon. that's why.
I Moot wonder you wer* surpr1a*d."

expected his clergyman to be almost
as much upset as he was by the news
of bis action. But John Ellery was
provoklngly calm.
"Hush! Hush!" he commanded.

You asld you would. But bow on earth
did aha gat out—"
His sister appeared on the threahold.
She was dressed In her Sundsy best
flowered poke bonnet, mitts, Imitation
India abawl, rustling black bombasine
gown. She looked at Mr. Pepper, then
at the minister.
"O Mr. Ellery!" she exclaimed, "bo
you here?"
The Reverend John admitted bis
presence. Miss Pepper's demesnor
surprised him. She did not seem
angry; indeed, she acted embarrassed
snd confused, as If she, ami not her
brother, were the guilty party.
"I'm awfully sorry, Mr. Ellery,"
gushed Lavlnla, removing the bonnet
"You see. I was Invited out to ride
this afternoon and—and—I went."
She glanced at her brother, red
dened—yes, almost blushed—and con
tlnued.
"You know. 'Blshy," sbe said,

day, him and me had quite a talk. We
got speakln' of what nloe drives there

well, he asked me If I wouldn't like to
go to ride next Sunday afternoon—
that's today. And a ride bein' a good
dteal of a treat to me, I said I would

she couldn't very well. So Caleb—

started. But I'd no idee 'twas 60 late.

"I'm so sorry I kept you waltln' sup
per," gushed Lavlnla. "I'll Ret you t
good one now. Oh, well, deary me! 1
must be gettin* absent-minded. I ain't
asked you where you've been all tha
afternoon."
Abishai's eyea turned beseechingly
toward his promised backer. Ellery
could not resist that mute appeal.
"Your brother has been with me for
some time. Miss Pepper," be vofun
teered.
"Oh, has he? Ain't that nice! He
couldn't have been in better comp'ny,
I'm sure. But, oh, say. 'dishy! I ain't
told you how nigh I come to not get-
tin' out at all. Just afore Mr. Payne
come, I was in that spare room and—
you remember I put a spring lock on
that door? Well, when 1 was in there
this afternoon the wind blew the
door shut, the lock clicked, and there
I was. If I hadn't had the other key
in my pocket I don't know s I wouldn't
have been in there yet That would
have been a pretty mess, wouldn't it!
He! he! he!"
The Reverend John did not answer
He could not trust himself to speak
Just then. When he did It was to an-
nounce that be must be getting towsrd
home. No. be couldn't stay for aup
per.
Mlaa Pepper went into the k)tch*o
and Ablshal saw the visitor to th*
door. Ellery extended his hand and
