ing their happiness. But tonight there was a damper: the presence of the leader of the opposition cast 8 shadow over the gathering. Only the bravest attempted speech. The others sat silent. showing their resentment and contempt by drowning glances over their shoulders and portentous mods one to the other.
 The captain looked over the meet ing.
 I'm ashamed" he said, ashamed of the behavior of some of us in the Lords house. This has been a failure. this service of ours. We have kept still when we should have justified our faith, and allowed the presence of a stranger to interfere with our duty to the Almighty. And I will say" he added. his voice rising and trembling with indignation, ito him who came here uninvited and broke up this meet in. that it would be well for him to remember the words of Seriptur'. Woe unto ye. false prophets and workers of iniquity.' Let him remember what the divine wisdom put into my head to read tonight: The pastors have become brutish and have not sought the Lord; therefore they shall not prosper
 "Amen!" "Ameni" "Amen!" "So be it!' The cries came from all parts of the little room They ceased abruptly. for John Ellery was on his feet.
 Captain Hammond" he said, T re alize that l have no right to speak in this building, but I must say one word. My coming here tonight may have been a mistake; I'm inclined to think it was. But l came not. as you seem to infer, to snt.r and scof: cer- tainly l had no wish to disturb your service. 1 came because l had heard repeatedly, since my arrival in this town, of this society and its meetings. l had heard, too, that there seemed to be a feeling of antagonism. almost hatred, against me among you here. l couldn't see why.

 He sat down. There was silence for moment and then buzz of whls- pering Captain Ehen, who had heard him with a face of iron hardness, rapped the table.
 We will sing in closir'," he said, 'the forty-second hymn. After which the benediction will be pronounced" l"
 The Regular minister left the Come Cutters meeting with the unpleasant conviction that he had blundered bad ly His visit, instead of tending toward better understanding and more cor dial relationship, had been regarded as an intrusion.
 So that old bigot was the Van Horne girls uncle" It hardly seemed pos GAQi1 Iidl NhCs N lb HppEAAEQ SS '| fined and ladylike when he met her at the parsonage, should be a member of that curious company. When he rose to speak he had seen her in the front TOW. beside the thin. middle-aged female who had entered the chapel with Captain Hammond and with her. She was looking at him intently. The hn fohla hoh shone full on her face and the picture remained in his memory. He saw her eyes and the wavy shadows of her hair on her forehead
 He had taken but a few steps when there was a rustic in the wet grass behind him.
 "Mr. Ellery." whispered a voice. "Mr. Ellery. may I speak to you just a moment?"
 He wheeled in surprise.
 Why why, Miss Van Horne!" he exclaimed. "Is 1t you?"

Yes. We'll, that's all. You can go. We must be going. too, MT. Ellery. Please consider our house at your dis posal any time. Be neighborly-hum -hai-be neighborly."
 Yes, purred Annabe1. Do come and see us often. Congenial society is very scarce in Trumet, for me espe- cially. We can read together. Are you fond of Moore, MT. Ellery? I just dote on him."
 The last "hum-ha" was partially drowned by the click of the gate. Ke- ziah closed the dining-room door.
 Mrs. Coffin" said the minister, T shan't trouble the parish committee. Be sure of that. I'm perfectly satis- fed"
 Keziah sat down in the rocker and her needle moved very briskly for a moment. Then she said, without looking up:
 That's good. I own up I like to hear you say it. And l am glad there are some things I do like about this new place of mine Because-well, because there's likely to be others that l shan't like at all
 On Friday evening the minister conducted his first prayer meeting. Before it, and afterwards, he heard a good deal concerning the Come Cutters. He learned that Captain Eben Hammond had preached against him in the chapel on Sunday Most of his own practitioners seemed to think it good joke
 The sun of the following Thursday morning rose behind a curtain of fog as dense as that of the day upon which Ellefy arrived. A fiat calm in the forenoon, the wind changed about three o'clock, and, beginning with sharp and sudden squall from the northwest, blew hard and steady. Yet the fog still cloaked everything and refused 10 be blown away.
 Coin out in this, MT. Elleryl" ex- claimed Keziah, In amazement, as the minister put on his hat and coat about seven that evening Stakes alive! you won't be able to See the way to the gate. It's as dark as a nigger's pochet anu lHlChtI tHdu yOuuk ones in poor mans family, as my father used to say. You'll be wet through. Where in the world are you bound for this night?"
 The minister equivocated. He said he had been in the house all day and felt like . walk.
 Well, take an umbrella, then,- was the housekeeper's advice. You'll need 1t before you get back, callate"
 It was dark enough and thick enough, in all conscience. The main road was a black, wet void, through which gleams from lighted windows were big vague, yellow blotches. The umbrella was useful in the same way that blind mans cane is useful, in feeling the way. Two or three strag glers who met the minister carried lanterns. John Ellery stumbled on through the mist till he reached the Corners" where the store was located and the roads forked. There, he turned to the right, into the way called locally "Hammond's Turmoil" A short distance down the Turmoil" .rA-oo a small. brown-shingled building,

its windows alight. Opposite It's door, on either side of the road, grew spreading hornbeam tree surrounded by a cluster of swamp blackberry bushes. In the black shadow Of the hornbeam MT. Ellery stood still. He was debating in his mind question: should he or should he not enter that building?
 As he stood there, groups of people emerged from the fog and darkness and passed Tn at the door. Some or them he had seen during his fortnight in Trumet Others were strangers to him. A lantern danced and waboled up the Turmoil" from the direction of the bay shore and the packet wharf It drew near. and he saw that 1t was carried by an old man with long, white hair and chin beard. who walked with a slight limp. Beside him was a thin woman wearing black poke bonnet and shawl. In the rear Of the pair came another woman, young woman judging by the way she was dressed and her 1.-the. vigorous step. The trio halted on the platform of the building The old man blew out the lantern, Then he threw the door open and stream of yellow light poured over the group.
 The young woman was Grace van Horne The minister recognized her nt once. Undoubtedly, the old man with the limp was her guardian, Cap tain Eben Hammond. who, by common report. had spoken of him, Eiiery. as hired priest"
 The door closed, A few moments thereafter the sound of squeaky me lodeon came from within the building. IL walled and quavered and groaned- Then, with a suddenness that was startling. came the first verse or hymn, sung with remendous enthusi- asm:
