SISTER MAR!HA. ansiswable little bit of seaweed' tliat the tide has left liigh and dry on the shore. But to speak with you once more, to tell you that I always believed m your better nature is a, precious priv ilege." He put down his dark head on the edge of the conch, as if ashamed to let her so* his emotion, ■ v ■ y "It was a damnable conspiracy to sepi arate us, Vinie. I never can tell you the whole story, as it has been told to me,, because my lips are sealed by a promise made with my hand on the Testament Bnt it was all made up of fraud and lies. And they made me think you believed the lies, and thought I had been triftin with you to lead, you to ruin, and that you hated me like.poison, bat now j know 1 was all outin my reckonin, Vinie. It's as if I'd been to sea years and years without seem the sun. No notion where . the north star was, either, compass varied so. Kept driftin hither and yon, like an old abandoned hulk on the current Tried to go by dead reckonin, but I was -all wrong. Tried to dutch things that hadn't no comfort m them" j "But when you saw the old house blazing, George, you forgot all that had come and-gone?" ; . j "Vanie," said he, solemnly, "I felt as if I could snatch you right out of tbii clutches of death." j "But I wasn't worth saving, George-* ---such a poor creature, all broken'and ■spent/tied to the= chair or to the bed. George, you might' as well think of * dead woman as of me," > At that moment-the old parrot awok* on his' perch,' shook himself, dabbed fiercely at bis breast feathers and piped out, "George, kus Polly." * ■■ Vinie burst into a little, weak, hysteri cal laugh, and the captain raised her pale hand and laid it on his lips. "Vi nie," he said, "I swear m devote my whole life to you if you'll let ma I'll . cljakuae my mouth of every foul word and' my heart of every drop of galL Fll let nothing come m but you, just you. TO watch over you as if you was a saint right out of heaven and no wind shall strike you roughly, you poor, long suf fering, patient Vinie. I'm not the heathen folks would make me, for right here on my knees I feel as if I could pray and thank the Lord- for giving yon back tome."* "What's that?" said Vinie, raising her head. They listened to a kind of moaning and scratching at the door, like a hungry dog pleading to be let m. "Cap'n Blight Cap'n Bligh!" wailed a a distracted voice. "Where's 2Lliss May hew? Some say you kerried her o:T out the burniri house and some say yon didn't. I can't find her. She's Jost. Oh, Cap'n Bligh, open the door!" Ann had stumbled into tho dark ertry and Captain Bligh took up the light and held it as she came limping forward m a disheveled state pitiable to witness. "Merciful man!" she exclaimed as soon as her eyes fell on her mistress. "If you aint a-laying right here on Cap'n Bligh's sofy, of all places m this town the most improperest." The tone of wailing had changed to one of sharp rebuke, like a distracted mother who, as soon as she has found her lost child, begins to shako him. "I couldn't find you nowhere, and 1 thought you was smoke suffocated, i tried to rush right into the kitchen part when it was all of a light blaze. They held me back by main force, and 1 guess I fit and scratched like a tiger cat Them insurance men, if they choke me, can't make me say how it ketched. 1 don't know to save me whether it was the cbiinbly burnin out or ashes m a bar'l. I sometimes bed put ashes m a bar'l, but was always keerful about them bein cold and no sparks. If them, insurance men use slow torture they can't make me toll; I don't know. " 'Twas preparatory lecture night and I was kind of hurried to get my dishes , done and be off, for I hain't missed a preparatory lecture never since I came to the Mayhew place, and that was when Vinie was little; and the lecture room was warm, and I sat m a dark corner up against the wall, and the minister's voice went right on without a change. I knew he was sound m doc trine and I could trust him, so I guess 1 must have dozed off, for I set right up , with a start when the church bell clanged and somebody screeched fire! and all the folks began scuttlin out of the room and I after them as hard as I could pelt, for I hain't missed a fire no more than a meetin for over forty "years. When I heard somebody say it was the old May hew place, seemed as though my head shot away'from my legs, and I come right down on a kerbstone on all fours, and give myself a bruise 1 guess I shall kexry to my grave. "Wbsn I got home I see at once my part of the house was gone and all that jelly I hed put up. It kind of haunted me, that jelly did. The firemen were up on the roof hewin away with axes and sonsin water down the walls. Mother Maybe w's chany and silver had all been took out of the corner cupboard that was plum up agin the burnin part and kerried no body knows where, and my clothes, they do say, are scattered all over Littlefield. When I tried to find Miss Mayhew 1 went kind of blind, distracted like, and bumped up agin Frank Halley, and hk said the captain had took her to Tuck erses. So over there I went and there wasn't a soul to home; everybody had run to the fire. So I navigated all over the house and opened Mis' Tucker's presses and even looked under the beds, and I did the same at Woods', but it want no use. So says Ito myself she's fainted somewhere m a corner and been overlooked and Captain Bligh's gdt tc answer for it. So 1 came straight here and found her layin on- the sofy and 100 kin as contented as a kitten m a basket of wool. Now Captain Bligh 1 want you to pick her right up ami kevry her home again. Her room hasn't had a :-oorch and the bed's aired aud her things laid out for the night." The captain ha-i a pleasant twinkle ii: his eyes as he stood looking at Ann, anil be said slowly and with a jjreat show of deliberation: "Bnt suppose your mistress has con -1 sented to stay with me?" '■ "You cunt hoy her I" cried Ann fierco- To be Continued.
