departed trona her regular habit, for
she ate little and was very quiet. She

"It's Abner Mayo's burse," be said.

"Hello, Abner!" exclaimed Captain
Jerry as the ueweuwer stopped to

:But Mr. Mayo had important news to

"Cap's Burgers," he said, "I've got
somethln' to tell you--sowethin' awful.
The whole 111. mein' crew but one 1r
drownded, and Cap'n Eh Hedge" -
An exclamation from Mrs. Snow In-
terrupted him. The housekeeper clasped
her hands together tightly and sank
lute a chair. She was very white.
Elsie ran to her
"What l• it, Mrs. Snow?' she asked.
"Nothin', nothin'! Go on, Mr. Mayo.
Go cm!"
The bearer of 111 tldinga. gratified at
the result of his first attempt, pro-
ceeded deliberately:
"And Cup'a Hedge and Luther Davis
are over at the station pretty nigh dead.
1f 1t wa'n't,tor thecap'u, Luther 'd have
gone too. Eri took a dory and went
off and picked him up. Perez cows
over to my house and told us about 1t,
and Pasby's gone back with him to
g ee ber brother. I dldu't go down to
the store this wornin', 'twas stormlu'
so, but as goon as 1 heard I haruessed
up to come and tell you."
Then, in answer to the hurried quer•
thous of Captain Jerry mad Ellie, Mr.
Mayo told the whole story as far as
be knew it. Mrs. Snow said nothing,
but sat with her hands still clasped in
her lap.
"Luther Is hal drowuded and froze,"
concluded Abner, "aud the cap's got a
bang with an oar wbru they Jumped
out of the dory that. Peres is afraid,
broke his arm. I'm gots' right back to
git Dr. Palmer. They tried to tele-
phone him, but the wire's down."
"Dear, dear, deur!" exclaimed Cap-
tain Jerry, completely demoralized by
the news,, "That's dreadful! I must
go right down there, mustn't I? The
poor fellers!"
Mrs. Snaw rose to her feet quietly,
but with a determined air-
• "Are you goiu' right back soon's
you've got the doctor, Mr. Mayo?" elle
a'.ked•
N'hc, no, I wa'n't. I ain't been to
my store this murntu', and I'm Wald I
ought to be there."
"Then, Josiah, you'll have to harness
WWI and take me down. 1 mustn't
wait another mluutr."
"Why, Mrs. Snow," expostulated
('aptulu Jerry, "you mustn't go down
there. The doctor's guln', and I'll go,
and I'ushy's there already."
But the housekeeper merely waved
him aside.
"I want you to stay here with Eisie,"
she said. "There's no teliln' bow long
1 may be gone. Josiah '11 drive me
down, won't you, Jo'.lah-r"
There was no lack of rntbnoiasm In
the "able aeanaan's" answer. The boy
was only too glad of the chance.

As they entered the chamber above
Elsie was thunderstruck to see her
companion sent herself In the rocker
and cover her fare with her hands.
"Why, Mrs. Snow," .he exclaimed,
"what Is It?"
The lady from Nantucket hastily rose
and wiped her eyes with her apron.
"Oh, nothin',^ she answered, with an
attempt at • smile. "Fru kind of
fidgety this morph'', and the way that
man started off to tell bls yarn upset
me, that's all. I mustn't be such a
fool."
She set about getting ready with a
vim and attention to detail that proved
that her "fidgets" bad not affected her
eommon sense. She was pale amd ber

CHAPTER XXI.
LSIE and Captain Jerry were
kept busy that alter uou. Ab-
ner Mayo's news spread
quickly, aud people gathered
at the postotllce, the stores and the bil-
liard room to discuss it. Soave of the
men. notably Cy Warner and Bute
Stuith, local representatives of the big
Boston dallier), hurried oil to the lite
saving station to get the facts at first
intra. Others came down to talk with
Captain Jerry and Elsie, when Daulel
plodded through the gate, drawiug the
buggy coutaiuing Josiah, Mrs. Snow
and Captaiu Erf.
For u man who had beau described
as "half dead" Captalu Eri looked very
well, itideed. Jerry run to help him
Trow the carriage, but be Jumped out
himself and then assisted the house-
keeper to alight with au air of proud
proprietorship. He was welcomed to
the house like a returned prodigal, and
Captain Jerry &hook his well band uu-
til the arm belongiug to It seemed like-
ly to become as stiff and sore as the
other. While this handshaking was
going on Captalu Eri was embarrass-
ed. He did not look his friend In the
fare, and most of his conversation
was addressed to Elsie.
As soon as be had warmed his bands
and told the story. of the wreck and
rescue be said: "Jerry, come up to my
room a minute, won't you? I've got
sonlethln' I want to say."
Vagliety wondering what the private
conversation might be. Jerry followed
his frleud upstairs. When they were
1n the room Captain Eri closed the
door and laced his companion. He
was confused end stammered a little
as he said, "Jerry, I've -I've got some -
thin' to say to you 'bout Mrs. Snow."
Theu It was Captain Jerry's., turn to
be confused.
"Now, Eri," he protester], "'total
fair to keep pestcrlu' me like this. I
know I,ain't said nothin' to ber yit,
hnt I'm goiu' to. 1 bad n week, any-
how, and It ain't hal over. Let me
Slone till my time 1s up, can't you?"
"I was Jest goin' to tell you that yon
won't have to ask. I've been talkin' to
her myself, and" -
The sacrifice sprang out of bis c air.
"Er' Hedge," be exclaimed Indi
ly, "I thought you was a friend of
mine! I give you my word I'd du it In
a week, and the least you could have
dome, seems to me, world have been to
Walt and give me the chance. What
did she say?" be asked suddenly.
"She said ye to what I asked her,"
was the reply, with a half smile.
Upon Captain Jerry's fare settled the
look of one who areepta the melan-
choly Inevitable. He sat down again.
"i ■'posed she would," be said, with
a i lgti. "She's known me for quite a
spell now, and she's had • chance to
ser what kind of a man I be. Well,
what else did you do? Ain't settled the
seeddur nay, have you?" Thla with
marked sarcasm.
"Not yit. Jerry, you've made a mis-
take. i didn't ask her for you,"
"1►Wu't ask her •didn't- What are
you talktn"bout theft?"
"i asked her for thyself. She's goln'
to marry me."
The sacritlep-a sacrifice no longef-
sat silent, but curious changes of ex-
presslou were pns.hlg over his face -
lurprise, amnzeuent, relief and now n
sort of grieved resignation.
"i feel small enough 'bout the way
I've treated you, Jerry," eontinued
Captain Eri. "I didn't menu to -but
there, it's done, and all i can do Is say
l'In sorry and that i wennt to give you
,your chance. 1 *haul blame you If
you git mad, not a hit, but t hole you
won't."
Captain Jerry sight.]. When he mimic
It was In a tone of sublime forgive•
new'..
"1•:rl," he said, "i ain't mad. f won't
say my hrlin's ain't hurt, 'Taupe -

to be glad that you're goln' to have
'em. 1 wish you both luck nod n genal
v'ynge. Now, don't talk to me for a
few minutes. Let me git sort of tired
to 1t."
So they shook bandit and Captain
F.rl, with a troubled look at hie friend,
went out. After he had gone Captain
Jerry get up and danced three step. of

and he was at pleased as the refit.
The sturw had wrecked every wire

munication war erlublirhrd ouc'e wore.
and the Bustou dailies received the
news of the loss of the life maveen+ and
the crew of the schooner. And they
made the moat 0 It. Sensational Items
were scarce Just thea, and the editors
welcomed this oue.
The life saving nation mid the house

Eri indignantly refused to pose for his

he went out to the burn aud hod the
pleasure of aeelug u likeness of blue

at the postofidce or et his fish shanty
and begged for interviews. They got
them, brief um' pointedly personal,
and, though these were not printed,
eolumus describing him u* "a bluff,
big hearted hero" were.
If ever a man was wad and dlaguat-
ed, that man mus the captain. Iu the
drat place, as he said, what be bud,

man 'Iungsbore would have dour, aud,
secondly, 1t was nobody's business.
Then again he said. and with truth.
"This whole fuss wakes we ak•k.

never say uuthin' 'trout 1t, but they go

that's all right, but they'd Iter keep
on and git the gov'weut to raise the
u l'rles of them that's left In the serv-
ice,'
Shortly after 4 o'clock one afternoon
of the week following that of the
wreck Captain Eri ventured to walk up
to the village, keeping a weather eye
out for reporters and smukfug his pipe.
He made several stops, one Of thew
being at tit schoolhouse where Josiah,
dhow back at his desk. was studying
overtime to caret up with big etas!.
As the eaptalu was slrulliug nloug
some oue touched him front behind,
and he turned to face Italph Hazel-
tine. The electrician had been a pret-
ty' regular caller at the house of hate,
but Captain Eri had seen but little of
him for reason. unnecessary to state.
"Hello, captaiu!" said Ralpia. "'I'nl••

"Oh, say," said Captain Eri, "I've
been meautn' to ask you sowethiu'.
Made up your mind 'bout that we,tsru

Ralph shook hes head. "Not yet." he
said slowly. "i shall very soon, though.

Silence agnlu. Then Ralph sold: "The

"Humph! i thought you didn't care

"1 don't.
Both seemed to be thinking, and nei-
ther spoke again until they came to the
grocery store, where Hazeltine stopped,'
saying that be must du au errand fur
Mr, Langley. They said good night,
nod the captain turned away, b.•
• gnlekly back and said:
