near the center table. took from his
pocket a sheet Of note paper and pro-
ceeded to read what was written on
1ts pages II was a letter which he
had received nearly month before
and had not yet answered During the
past week he had read it many times.
The writing was cramped and blotted
and the paper cheap and dingy. The
envelope bore the postmark of a small
town in Indiana, and the Enclosure
was worded as follows:
Captain Cyrus Whitaker:
Dear Sir-l suppose you will be good
deal surprised to hear from me, especially
from way out west here. When you
bought the old house of Seth he and 1
was living in Concord. N. II. He couldn't
make a go of his business there. so we
came west, and he has been sick most of
the time since We amt well off like you,
and times are hard with US. What l
wanted to write you about was this: My
cousin Mary Thomas-Mary Thayer that
was-is still living in Concord, and she is
poor and needs help, though l don't sup
pose she would ask for it. being too
proud-false pride | call 1t. Me and
Seth would like to do something for her.
but we have a hard enough Job to keep
going ourselves. Mary married a man by
the name of Henry Thomas. and he turn
ed sout to be nisera bic good for moth
ing, as | always said he would. She
wouldn't listen to me, though. He run
off and left her seven year ago last April
and, | understand, was killed or drowned
somewheres up in Montana. Mary and
lseveral words scratched out herel got
along somehow since, but | don't know
how. While we lived in Concord Seth
sort of kept an eye on her. but now he
can't. of course. She's a good girl, or
woman, rather, being most forty. and
would make a good housekeeper if you
should need one. as | suppose likely you
will If you could help her it would be an
act of charity and you will be rewarded
above. Seth says why not write to her
and tell her to come and see you. He
feels bad about her. because he is so sick,
and could do good If you felt like it. Her
fathers name was John Thayer l wouldn't
wonder if you used to know her mother.
she was Emily Richards afore she mar
rird. and they used to live in Orham.

hove overheard in Bayport will dredge
up CAB enough to sink dictionary.
SO just keep mum till the business is
settled one way or the other"
A week passed. and he heard moth
ing; then three more days and still
no word from the New Hampshire
widow. Meanwhile fresh layers of
dust spread themselves over the Whit
taker furniture, and the gaudy pat
terms of the carpets blushed dimly be-
meath griny fog.
The eleventh day began with a pour
ing rain that changed later on to a
dismal driZzle The silver leaf tree in
the front yard drippPd. and the over
flowing cutters gurgled and spIash"d
The bay was gray and lonely. and the
fish weirs along the outer D9r were
lost in the mist. The flowers ia the
Atkins urns were dragGled and beaten
down. Only the iron dogs glistcned
undaunted as the wet ran of their
newly painted backs The air was
heavy, and the salty favor of the fats
might almost be tasted in it.
Captain Cy was in the sitting room,
as usual. His spirits were as gray as
the weather He was actually lone
some for the first time since his return
home. He had kindled a wood fire in
the stove just for the sociability of it,
and the crackle and glow behind the
iCinulogS nnlu Cnpvp6 tO nd
him of other days and other fires The
sitting room had not been lonesome
then.
He heard the depot wagon rattle by
and, peering from the window, saw
that except for Mr.. Lumley it was
empty. Not even a summer boarder
had come to brighten our ways and
lawns with reckless raiment and the
newest slang. Summer boarding sea-
son was almost over how. Bayport
would soon be as duh as dishwater.
And the captain admitted to himself
that it was dull. He had half a mind
to take flying trip to Boston, make
the round of the wharfs and see if
any of the old shipowners and ship
captains whom he had once known
were still alive and in harness.
Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle!
Jingle! ling! Jing! Jing"
Captain Cy bounced in his chair
That was the front door bell. Who on
earth, or rather, who in Bayport, would
como to the front door?
He hurried through the grim gran
deur of the best parlor and entered the
little dark front hall. The bell was still
swinging at the end of its coil of wire.
The dust shaken from it still hung in
the air. The captain unbolted and I'M
locked the big front door.
A girl was standing on the steps be-
tween the lines of box hedge-a little
girl under big "grownup" umbrella.
The wet dripped from the umbrella top
and from the hem of the little girls
dress.
Captain Cy stared hard at his visitor.
He knew most of the children in Bay
port, but he didn't know this one. OBJ
viously she was a stranger. Portu-
guese children from ''up Harniss way"
called to peddle huckleber-
ries. but this child was no "Portugee."
"HellOr' exclaimed the captain, Won

He sprang down the steps, furled
the umbrella, seized her by the arm
and led her into the house, through the
parlor and into the sitting room, where
the fire cracked invitingly. He could
feel that the dress sleeve under his
hand was wet through, and the worn
boots and darned stockings he could
see were soaked likewise.
"Therew he cried. "Set down in
that chair. Put your feet up on that

''Yes, sir" said the child, STOPPING to
unbutton the shoes. Her wet fingers
were blue. 1t can be cold in our viii

there is an easterly storm. Intuition

the modest suggestion that he assume

ering a little under the big coat.

"Sure you are! Don't act a mite ba-

ceeded literally to "shake up" the bed.

it was completed he returned to find

STAR GIVES OUT
5000 FREE ICE
TICKETS To POOR
Arranges for Aiding Children in
Homes Where Contagious
. Diseases Exist.

Five thousand free ice tickets have
just been distributed by the STAR for
the benefit of sickly babies who require
ice for their milk hot days. Every
hospital that holds babies clinics has
been supplied with tickets. The physi-
clans and nurses in these hospitals in
turn distribute the tickets among
mothers whose circumstances warrant
assistance.
The holder of a ticket can secure q
ive-cent piece of ice from any depot
in the city. All ice dealers accept
them. Several kind hearted dealers,
whose sympathies are with the helps
less babes in their struggle for exist
ence during hot weather. are going out
of their way to deliver Ice.
Heretofore it has been difficult for
the STAR to get tickets into places
under quarantine, and the problem of
how to overcome this obstacle has been
solved by Samuel Knott, chief of the
disinfecting corps of the Board of
Health. 1t is the duty Of his assist
ants to disinfect houses where con-
tagious diseases have not only made
ravages, but have often eaten up the
small saving of many years. His men
frequently meet conditions that excite
pity. AS a result, the STAR has
placed with Mr.. Knott a.large number
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-06-29

of tickets to be distributed as he and
his men think best.
The STAR free ice fund, said Mr..
Knott today, lis one of the best chart
ties in Newark. If 1 had a large sum
of money to give away l would give it
to the fund. Besides assisting as much
as possible in the distribution of the
tickets / take great pleasure in con-
tributing 81"
Tickets have been given to the fol-
lowing hospitals: st. Michaels, Ger
man, Beth Israel, st. Barnabas's. st.
James's, Babies and the City Dispen-
sary. They have also been placed with
the public welfare physicians. Board
Of Health nurses, Board of Health in
spectors, anti-tuberculosis nurses and
Overseer of the poor Baldwin. The
tickets were given to the overseer to-
day. Many aged persons who come
under his notice will be benefited.
To carry on his good work the STAR
requires a large sum. Donations of any
kamount are welcome. Can't you help
