CHAPTER X.
In Which
Receives
Captain Eben
a Caller.
At the edge of the bluff, just where
the pines and the bayberry bushes
were thickest, where the narrow,
crooked little footpath dipped over the
rise and down to the pasture land and
the salt meadow, John Ellery and
Grace had halted In their walk. The
minister’s face was pale, but set and
determined, and he was speaking rap-
idly.
"I can’t help It,” he said. "1 can’t
help It I have made up my mind and
nothing can change It. nothing but
you. It rests with you. If you say
yes, then nothing else matters. Will
you Bay It?”
He was holding both her hands now.
and though she tried to withdraw
them, he would not let her.
“Will you?” he pleaded.
"1 can’t,” she ’answered brokenly. “I
can’t Think of your church and of
your people. What would they say
If-"
"I don’t care what they say.”
She shook her head.
"Some of them might respect you,”
she said. “They would say you had
been led Into this by me and were not
so much to blame. But I-"
"They shall respect my wife,” he In-
terrupted, snapping his teeth together,
"‘or I'll know the reason why.”
“I can’t! I can't! My uncle-”
■‘Your uncle shall hear It from me
We’ll go to him together. I'll tell him
myself. He worships you.”
‘‘Yes, I know. He does worship me.
That’s why I am sure he had rather
see me dead than married to you, a
Regular, and a Regular minister. 1
know—I know he would never con-
sent. His heart Is set on something
else. Nat-”
“Nat? Are you considering him,
too? Is he to stand between us?
"What right has he to say-”
“Hush! hush! He hasn’t said any
thing. But—but he and uncle have
■quarreled, Just a little. I didn’t tell
you, but they have. And I think I
know the reacan. Nat is Uncle Eben’s
Idol. If the quarrel should grow more
serious, I believe it would break his
heart. I couldn’t bear to be the cause
of that; I should never forgive my-
self.”
“You the cause? How could you
be the cause of a quarrel between
those two? Grace, think of nfe.”
“John,” she said, “It is of you I am
(thinking. Everything else could —
might be overcome, perhaps. But I
-must think of your future and your
life. I must. That Is why-”
He did not wait to hear more. He
.seized her In his arms and kissed her.
“Then you do care!” he cried Joy-
fully. “You will marry me?"
For an Instant she lay quiet In his
embrace, receiving. If not responding
to his caresses. Then she gently but
firmly freed herself. He saw that
there were tears In her eyes.
“I don’t know," she sobbed. “Oh,
I don't know! I must think—I must!
Walt, please wait, John. Perhaps by
to-morrow I can answer. I'll try—I’ll
try. Don’t ask me again, now. Let
me think. Oh, do!”
She started down the path. He hes
Rated, then ran after her.
“To-morrow?” he questioned eager-
ly. ‘‘To-morrow, then, you’ll say that
you will?"
“Oh, perhaps, perhaps! 1 musn't
promise. Good night.”
It was after seven when Grace
reached the old tavern. The house
keeper, Mrs. Poundberry, was anxious-
ly awaiting her. She wore her bonnet
and Sunday gown and was evidently
ready to go,
“Supper’s on the table and the kit-
tle’s abtlin’. You better eat In a
hurry, 'cauBe It’s meetin’ time now.
Your uncle, he Btarted ten minutes
ago. I'm again' right along, too, but
I ain’t goln' to meetin’; I’m agoln' up
to Betsy E.’s to stay all night. She's
got a spine in her back, as the feller
said, and ain’t feelin’ good, so I told
her I’d come and stay a little spell.
Your Uncle Eben’s mighty feeble and
peaked lately. He ain’t long for this
world. I’m afraid. You ought to be
awful good to him, Grade.”
“I know It," waa the hurried reply.
“Where’s Nat?”
"I don’t know. Can’t keep track of
him. Might’s well try to put your fin-
ger on a flea. He’s here to-day and
gone yesterday, as the Scrlptur’ says.
He ate a little mite of supper, but not
much, and then off he puts."
She reached the gate by this time,
and Grace shut off the flow of conver-
sation by closing the door. Then she
took a candle from the row on the din-
ing-room mantle, lighted It and went
up to her own room. Standing before
the old-fashioned bureau with Its little
oval mirror, she hastily arranged her
hair. She did not wish to go to
prayer meeting at the chapel, but she
felt that she must. The Come-Outer
gatherings, with their noisy singing
and shouting, had grown more and
more repugnant to her.
She blew out the candle and came
out Into the hall at the head of the
stairs. She was about to descend when
she heard voices. The dcor of the din-
ing room opened and closed. She felt
certain that Nat had returned and
wondered who was with him. Then
she heard her uncle’s voice, speaking
sharply and with unwonted sternness.
"I don’t know what 'tls you want to
see about,” said Captain Eben. “You
say It’s Important; well, It’s got to be
to keep me from my meetin'. I ought
to be on the Lord’s business this
minute and nothin’ worldly’s goln’ to
keep me from servin’ Him. So speak
quick. What Is It?"
The voice that answered was one
that Grace recognized, though she had
never before heard In It the note of
agitation and undignified excitement.
There were no ponderous pauses and
"Hum—ha’s” now.
"Don't be a fool, Hammond!" It said.
“And don't stand there preaching.
Lock that door! Get a lamp! Are
you su-e there’s nobody but us In the
house?”
Captain .Elkanah Daniels! Captain
Elkanah visiting a Come-Outer! and
the leader of the Come-Outers! 1
Grace caught her breath. What In
the world— She started to descend
and then a thought flashed to her
mind. She stopped short.
"I ain’t the fool, Elkanah.” she
heard her uncle retort sternly. “The
fools are them who are deef to the
call from on high. My foot was on the
threshold of His house when you led
me astray. It's never halted there
afore I warn you-”
"Stop! Shut up! Eben Hammond,
I tell you that your precious church-
yes and mine, the Regular chprch of
Trumet—will go to rack and ruin If
you and me don't pull together this
night.”
“And I tell you, Elkanah Danlqls,
I'll have no blasphemy here. That lit-
tle sanctuary up the road Is founded
on a rock and neither you nor any
of your Pharlseein’ prlest-worshipln'
crew can shake it. The Almighty’ll
protect His own. As for the Reg’lar
church, that’s no concern of mine.”
"But I tell you 'tls your concern.
Or If the church ls’nt, your own fam-
ily Is."
There was an Instant of silence.
Grace, crouching on the stairs, noticed
the change In her uncle’s voice as he
answered.
"My own family?” he repeated slow-
ly. "My own— And the Reg’lar
church— What do you mean? Has
Nat-”
"No, he ain’t. But that cussed girl
of yours-"
"Stop!” shouted Captain Hammond.
"Elkanah Daniels, for your own sake
now, be careful. If you dast to say a
word, another word like that. I'll-”
'If I dast! The hussy! But there's
no use talkin' to you. You’re \s crazy
as a Bedlamite. Either that, or you’re
In the game with her. If you are, 1
warn you-”
"Stop! What game? What game
do you mean? Oracle! My Grade!
What Is it? For mercy sakes, El-
kanah-”
"Humph! I wondered If I couldn’t
get some sense Into you. finally. Lock
that door!"
”1 will! I will! But Ellranah-“
“Lock it! Give me the key!”
The click of the lock sounded
sharply.
"Where's the lame?" demanded Dan-
iels. "And the matches? Don’t stand
there shaking.”
A smell of sulphur floated out Into
the hall. Then the sickly glow of the
"fluid" lamp shone through the door-
way.
"What alls you?" asked Elkanah.
“Are you struck dumb? Now go and
see If there's anybody else In the
house."
“But—but tlu'e ain’t. I know there
ain't. Hannah's gone and Grade’s at
meetin' by this time."
‘‘She? Humph! Well, maybe she's
at meetin’ and maybe she isn't. May-
be she's over In Peters’s pines, hug-
ging and kissing that man she’s met
mere every Sunday for I don't know
how long— Here! let go. you old
fool! Let go, I tell you!”
"You liar!” Bnarled Captain Eben.
"You low-lived liar! By the Almighty,
Elkanah Daniels! I’ll— You take that
back or I'll choke the everlastln’
soul out of you. I will-
"Let go, you lunatic! You'll kill
yourself. Listen! I’m not lying. It’s
the truth. Sne’s met a man, I tell
you. Been meeting him for months,
I guess. There! now will you listen?
“His name’s John Ellery, and he's
minister of the Regular church In this
town; that’s who he Is! Herel hold
up! Good Lord! are you dying? Hold
up!”
The girl on the stairs sprang to her
feet Her head was reeling and she
could scarcely stand, but she blindly
began the descent. She must go to
her uncle. She must. But Captain
Daniels’s voice caused her to halt
once more.
“There! there!” It said In a tone
of relief. "That’s better. Set still
now. Be quiet, that's It. Shall I get
some water?”
“No, no! let me be. Just let me be.
ain't what I used to be and this—
Pm all right, 1 tell you. Grace! And
—and— What was It you Just said?
I—I don't b’lieve I heard It right.”
’’I said that daughter of yours, or
niece, or whatever she Is, this Grace
Van Horne, has been meeting young
Ellery, our minister, In Peters’s grove,
Been meeting him and walking with
him, and kissing him. She’s met him
in those pines every Sunday afternoon
for a long time. She was seen there
with him this afternoon.”
“Who—who saw her?”
"Never mind. The one that did’ll
never tell—unless It’s necessary. They
are fixing to be married, and-’
“Married! She marry a Reg’lar
minister! Oh-”
/'Hush! Listen! They ain’t married
yet. We can stop ’em, you and I,
we get right to work. It Isn’t too late.
Will you help?"
’’Will I—I Go on! tell me more!
"We can stop 'em. I know It would
be a good catch for her, the sneaking,
designing— Well, never mind. But It
can't be. It shan’t be. You’ve got to
tell her so, Hammond. We folks of
the Regular church have pride In our
society; we won’t have It disgraced
And we have been proud of our minis-
ter, the young, rattle-headed fool!
We'll save him If we can. If we
can’t”—the speaker's teeth grated
"then we'll send him to eternal
smash or die trying."
"But I can’t believe It's true. It’s a
mistake; some other girl and not
Grade. Why, she don’t even know
him. She wouldn’t— But she has
been out every Sunday afternoon for
weeks. If It should be!”
The chair creaked. Evidently, Cap-
tain Eben waa rising slowly to his
feet.
’’Well?” repeated Elkanah.
"Elkanah Daniels,” said Eben slow-
ly, his voice shaking from nervous ex-
haustion and weakness, but with a flue
ring of determination In every word,
“Elkanah DanleU, you listen to
ipe. I’ve heard you through. If
your yarn Is true, then my heart is
broke, and I wish I might have died
afore I heard it. But I didn’t die and
I have heard it. Now listen to me. I
love that girl of mine better'n the
whole wide world and yet I’d rather
see her dead afore me than married
to a Reg'lar minister. Disgrace to
him! Dlsgraoe to your miserable
church! What about the disgrace to
mine? And the disgrace to her? Ruin
to your minister! Ruin to my girl
here and hereafter Is what I'm think-
in’ of; that and my people who wor-
ship God with me. I’ll talk to Grace.
I’ll talk to her. But not of what’ll
happen to him or you—or any of your
cantin’, lip-servin' crew. I’ll |ell her
to choose between him and me. And
If she chooses him. I’ll send her out
of that door. I'll do my duty and read
her out of my congregation. And I’ll
know she’B gone to everlastln’ hell,
and that’s worse'n the poorhouse.
That’s all to-night, Elkanah. Now you
better go.”
The lock turned; the door opened
and closed. Grace, clinging to the bal-
usters, heard Captain Hammond cross
the room, slowly and feebly. She
heard him enter the sitting room. By
and by, pale, but more composed, and
with her mind made up, she came
down Into the hall. Drawing a long
breath, she turned Into the sitting
room to face her uncle. By the light
shining through the dihlng-room door
she saw him on his knees by the hair-
cloth sofa. She spoke his name. He
did not answer nor look up. At her
touch his arm slid from the couch and
he fell gently over upon his side on
the carpet.
the moment their secret became
known?
She rose and again donned her bon-
net and shawl. She was about to
blow out the lamp when she heard
rapid footsteps, the sound of some
one running along the sidewalk
in front of the house. As she listened,
the footsteps sounded on the path.
Whoever the ranper was he was com-
ing to the parsonage. She stepped
to the door and opened It.
The runner was a boy, Marla Hig-
gins’ boy Isaac, whose widowed moth-
er lived down by the shore. He did
the chores at the Hammond tavern.
His freckled face was dripping with
perspiration and he puffed and blew
like a stranded whale.
“Have ye—have ye,” panted Iko,

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 8
THE CHILD IN THE MIDST.
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 18:1-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—"In heaven their aiv-
yele do alwaye behold the fave of my
Father which le In heaven.”—Matthew
10:10 R. V.
Like two mighty mountain peaks
there stand before us In this lesson
two tremendously vital lessons. The
first and the foremost Is that of dls-
clpleshlp as suggested by the ques-
tion In verse one, “Who is the great-
est In the kingdom?" And the second
lesson Is that of Christ's attitude to-
wards children. Jesus again reveals
himself as the world's greatest teach-
er. He teaches by example—setting
a child before them, and by exhorta-
tion, "Except ye become aB children,"
by contrast, etc.
The very form of the disciples’
question revealed their coarse ambi-
tion for power and clearly Indicated
that they were as yet far from com-
prehending the principles of his
kingdom. One of the most Insidious
temptations that comes to the Chris-
tian worker is the ambitious desire
for place and power. It Is hard to
reconcile church politics with the
principles of the kingdom of God.
Jesus answers their question by
and still and—and awful. And Grade, | the use of objective teaching that
she’s all alone and—”
always has such an advantage over
'Hold on! Stop! I’ll tell you where j the purely metaphysical method of an-

tell him to hurry.”
“I’ll tell him; don’t you fret"
He was gone, running harder than
ever. A moment later Kezlah fol-
lowed him, running also.
As she ran on, a rattle of wheels
and the thud of hoofs came from be-
hind her. Then a rocking chaise,
drawn by a galloping horse, shot by.
Dr. Parker’s carriage, she was sura.
The Higgins boy must have met the
doctor and delivered his message.
The horse and chaise were standing
by the front gate of the tavern as she
pantlngly drew near It. The side door
of the house was ajar and she opened
It softly and entered. The dining
room was empty. There was a light
on the sitting-room table and low
voices came from the little bedroom
adjoining. Then, from the bedroom,
emerged Dr. Parker and Grace Van
Home. The girl was white and there
were dark circles under her eyes. The
doctor was very grave.
Kezlah stepped forward and held
out both hands. Grace looked, recog-
niZfed her, and with a cry ran toward

CHAPTER XI.
In Which Captain Eben Makea Port.
Half past eight. In the vestry of the
Regular church John Ellery was con-
ducting his prayer meeting. The at-
tendance was as large as usnal. Three
seats, however, were vacant, and along
the settees people yiero wondering
where Captain Elkanah Daniels and
hta daughter might be. They had not
missed a service for many a day. And
where was Kezlah Coffin?
At the Come-Outer chapel the testi-
fying and singing were In full blast.
But Ezekiel Bassett was leading, for
Caplatn Eben Hammond had not made
his appearance. Neither had Grace
Van Horne, for that matter, but Cap-
tain Eben's absence was the most as-
tonishing.
In the Regular parsonage Kezlah
sat alone by the sitting-room table.
Prayer meeting and supper she had
forgotten entirely. The minister had
not come home for his evening meal,
and food was furthest from the house-
keeper's thoughts. What should she
do? What ought she to do? How
could she avert the disaster so oertaln
to overwhelm those two young people
her. Kezlah took her In her arms and
soothed her as If she were a child.
"Well, well, dear," went on Mrs.
Coffin hurriedly. "He wllj be better
soOn, we'll hope. You mustn’t give up
the ship, you know. Now you go and
lay down somewheres and I’ll get my
things off and see what there 1b to do.
Some good strong tea might be good
for all hands, I guess likely. Where's
Hannah Poundberry?”
"She's gone to her cousin's to stay
all night. I suppose I ought to send
for her, but I—"
"No, no, you hadn't. Might's well
send for a poll parrot, the critter
would be Just as much good and talk
less I'll look out for things, me and
the doctor. Where’s—where’s Nat?"
"He came in Just after I Bent the
boy for the doctor. He’s In there with
—with him,” Indicating the bedroom.
"Poor Nat!"
Kezlah looked longingly toward the
door.
"Yes," she Bald slowly. "Poor fel-
low, It’s an awful shock to him. He
and his father are— But there! you
lay down on that lounge!”
Grace, protesting that she couldn't
sit down, she couldn’t leave uncle, and
there were so many things to do. was
at last persuaded by Kezlah and the
doctor to rest for a few moments In
the big rocker. Then Mrs. Coffin went
Into the kitchen to prepare the tea.
As she went, she beckoned to Dr.
Parker, who Joined her a moment
later.
(TO BE CONTINUEDJ
child In their midst he answered In
the words found in verse two of the
lesson.
What He Meant.
The word “verily" is tremendous
with emphasis. "I say," again re-
veals his authority to answer. "Ex-
cept ye turn," what does he mean?
To become childish? No, but to be-
come childlike; there Is a vast deal
of difference. There the child stands,
trustful, obedient, submissive, unself-
ish, pure, potential, imperfect, ready
to receive Impressions as wax and as
tenacious to retain those impressions
as granite. Pride, self-confidence,
disobedience, selfishness, Impurity,
assumed perfectness, and an unwill-
ingness to learn will effectually keep
us out of the kingdom of heaven.
■What a rebuke his answer implied,
viz., not who Is greatest hut rather,
"are you sure you are really In the
kingdom?" The true disciple who
really comprehends the essence of
Christ's teaching Is far less con-
cerned with his rank In the kingdom
than he Is to “know him” and thus
make Bure of a place in the kingdom.
Ever after this, when wrong ambi-
tions arose, these disciples must have
recalled that sweet child and Jesus'
saying, “be like that."
Does this lesson then teach us that
all children are by nature children of
the kingdom? Hardly, though we cer-
tainly do not believe that a child dy-
ing In Infancy is lost. Rather we In-
cline to the belief that they have
that spirit of teachableness and trust
| that fits them to "enter" (v. 3) the
kingdom (see John 3:6). Therefore,
the added significance of verse six.
The responsibility of parents and
teachers to lead them into the king-
dom at this early age when their
trustfulness has not been destroyed.
Let us look at some of the condl-
I tlons whereby we enter the kingdom.
John 10:9, "I am the door, by ms
shall ye enter.” John 3:3, "Except
ye be born again." Heb. 3:19, “They
could not enter because of unbelief ’’
i Read also 2 Peter 1:6-11.
How to Become Great.
Having thus struck at the primary
j question Involved, Jesus then tells
them how, once being In the kingdom,
! to become great, "whoso humbleth
himself, etc.” To humble yourself is
| voluntarily to choose the humblo, the
lowly, place for yourself; that place
removed from the admiration and the
adulation of men. Paul learned this
j lesson and constantly refers to him-
self aB the "bond slave” and wUhea
that he might be accursed for the
sake of his brethren Israel. Moses
found this place when he pleaded with
God to blot him out of the book of
his remembrance but to save the chil-
dren of Israel. Jesus is himself the
greatest illustration of this principle.
(See Phil. 2:6-31.)
Jesus goes on to teach by con-
trast what Is to he our attitude to-
ward those who are In the kingdom.
There is an incidental illumination
of the attitude of little children to
Jesus. They were never afraid of
him. It is true that he might have
meant here humble men who have
childlike hearts, but we are inclined
to feel that It was real children of
which he Is speaking. Our treatment
of them is our treatment of him, for
he completely identifies himself with
them.
Jesus pictures for us the heavenly
glory that rests upon children and yet
we In our folly too often fall to re-
ceive them, neglect our God-given op-
portunity, or, worse Btlll, cause them
to stumble, and bring upon ourselves,
upon our homes and our nation a pea
alty even worse than that of being
drowned In the midst of the sea.
Such 1b the greatness of childhood.
If wo are to make sure of entering
the kingdom It must be as we get
back to childhood, get back to ths
principles of trustfulness, of humility,
of service and of purity. It Is thou
we enter Into fellowship with God.

er forecast says “continued cold.”

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR
To allay itching and Irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry. thin and falling
hair, renfove crusts, scales and dan-
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment Is most effective, agree-
