he saw that he was mistaken.
The widow was there. but the boys were
not. She was talking with a man whom
Peters did not know. but whom he dis
liked at first sight He was fat, smil-
ing. smooth-shaven fellow. and glib
talker. It was plain that he was very we'll
satisfied with himself. and thought every
one else shared his opinion. Then. too,
his chair was much too near the widows,
and he beamed upon that lady In a man
ner which the captain considered disgust
ing.
"Yes," said the smiling individual,

though where he come from nobody
knows. He was dressed In some sort Of
an outlandish rig with fur onto it. and
the boys say he told 'em he was Sanity

The significant look which accompa-
MED this speech fired the captains soul.
It was with difficulty that he held him
self In check, and waited for the next
sentence.
"Now. Sophrony. think a heap of

The widow screamed and sprang to

voyager.
The captain did not answer. He had
acquaintance in Orham, and he much
preferred that the news of his mishap
should not reach their ears. He was
trying To invent a name. when Abner
saved him the trouble.

"All right Pull fer the shore. Giz-

The dory's bow swung toward the
beach. and the captain changed his mind.
It would be only temporary loan. he
argued. He could regain his property as
soon as he got aboard the dory.
'I'1l give 'em ter ye," he called" Come
IN, and take me or"
mot till we git them presents. Well
,tay here, and you can undo the bag and
pitch 'em to us, one at time"
It was CALLING, but to argue was use
ess. The bag was opened. and the toys
ossed one by one into the hands Of the
,oys in the dory. The empty bag was
hen thrown in, and the bankrupt Santa
Claus again demanded to be taken aboard
he dory. But the crafty Peter knew bet
er than to allow 1t. He united the rope
rom the dory's anchor and tossed the
:ree end to the captain.
''Hold on ter that, and we'll tow yer

Sure" said Mr.. Small. with convin-
cling enthusiasm.
And you'll stick by me, land me In
the dory, and won't say nawthin' ter

"Sartin, will"

floating fragments, but her progress was
provokingly slow. Twilight found ner
some miles from the mouth OF Orham
harbor, and with the pack ice ahead i'm
penetrable.
Tides settin' in." said the exasper-
ated skipper. This stuff won't loosen
up none till ebb, and that's an all-night
job. Everyth1ng's up spout. ] never
did have no luck
II was jest wond'rin', captain,
drawled the moderate Mr.. Small, IF
'twouldn't be possible ter set yer ashore
in the dory somewheres along here.
Seems ter me you said the lady lived
down ter the north ard end Of the town.
and there seems ter he considerable open
water over ter le'ward here. You'd have
ter walk fhrna or four mile hut helm as
it's SO important"
Don't say another word, Alvin" cried
the delighted skipper; Il don't see why
didn't think Of that myself. Shows two
heads are better'n one. don't it? And
won't have ter walk no four mile, mel
ther. Dyer see that inlet over there

it? Well, that's Eel crick, and Ee z crick
Is the outlet Of the Clam pond. What's
the matter with you rowin' me up the
crick and the length Of the pond-two
mile, or mebbe three? Sophrony's
house is only little ways from the up

But won't the pond be froze over?"
Taint likely. It's salt water, and
there ought to be strong tide. Any
how. we'll resk it; come on. ,"
Capt. Peters went below to pack up his
costume and presents. while Mr.. Small
superintended the anchoring of the
schooner and getting the dory over side.
When the skipper and he pushed of they
left a second mate and crew bubbling
over with curiosity. The bundles which
