the editorial dig at yours truly? Yes.
I've seen It. They don't bother me
much. I've got more important things
ON my mind just now"
Congressman Atkins pledge In his
farewell speech concerning the mighty
effort he was to make toward secur-
Ing the appropriation for Bayport bar-
Dor was In process OF fulfillment-so
he had written to the local paper.
But, alas. the mighty effort was likely
10 prove unavailing. In spite Of the
Honorable Heman's battle for his con.
! stituents' rights II seemed certain that
the bill would not provide the $4,000
for Bayport-at least not this years
bill. Other and more powerful inter
ests would win out and. instead, an.
| other section of the coast he improved
at the public expense,
So. at simmons and the sewing
circle and after meeting on Sunday,
Cy Whitaker was again discussed and
derided And this weeks Breeze, out
that morning, contained sarcastic
editorial which mentioned no names,
but limited at "a certain now notorious
person" who had boosted loudly, but
who had again been weighed in the
balance of public opinion and found
| wanting. for he had been a self APP
pointed committee of one, who had
promised to succeed If Atkins might
| fail"
Miss Dawes did not seem pleased

toward the Breeze and its editorial.
Captain Cyrus" she said. "lf you
intended doing nothing toward secur-
ing that appropriation, why did you
accept the responsibility for II at the
meeting!'
Captain Cy looked up.
We'll" he said, "afore this Thomas
business happened. to knock all my
plans on their beam ends, I'd done
considerable thlnkin' about that appro-
priation. II seemed TO me that there
must be some reason for Heman's
comm about so sudden. He was sar.
tin sure of the thirty thousand for n
spell; then, all to once. he begun to
| take in sail and go on t'other tack. ]
don't know much about politics, but
know he knows all the politics there

man. one with eyes in his head. went
to Washington and looked around he
might find the reason"
"But you still believe that you might
help If you went to Washington"
"Yes, | guess | do. Anyhow, I'd
ask sops pretty p'inted questions.
You see, | amt lived here In Bay
port all my life, and l don't swaller
all the bait Heman heaves overheard"
"Then why don't you goT'
Hey? why don't go? And leave
Bos'n and
EMILY would be all right and per
fectly safe. Georgianna thinks the
world OF her. And, Captain Whit
taker, don't like to hear these people
talk OF you as they do I don't like
to read such things I'm the paper-that

Captain Cy was gratified, and his
qualification showed in his voice.
Thank you. Phoebe" he said II

things any more. When | realize that
pretty soon I've got To give up that
little girl for good can't bear to be
away from her a minute hardly.
don't like to leave her here alone with
Georgianna and
II will keep an eye on her. You
trust me. don't you:"
Trust you? By the big dipper
you're about the only one | can trust
these days. ] don't know how I'D
have pulled through this If you hadn't
helped. You're diff'rent from Ase and
Bailey and their kind, not meanin
anything against them, either. But
You re broad minded and cool headed
and-and- DO you know, IL I'd had
these years and keep me from goin' of
the course | might have been some
body by now
II think you're somebody AS II Is"
"Dont talk that way. | own up
like to hear you, but I'm 'fraid II ain
true You say ! amount to somethin'
Well, what; come back home her,
with some money in my pocket, think
in that was all that was necessary
to make me good deal Of II Teller
