CHAPTER VII.
In Which tho Parson and Mr. Pepper
Declare Their Independence.

In Which the Parson and Mr.. Pepper
Declare Their independence.
That afternoon, when dinner was
over, the Reverend John decided to
make few duty calls. The first Of
these he determined should be on the
Peppers.
The Pepper house was situated just
off the main road on the lane leading
over the dunes to the ocean and the
light. 1t was a small building, its
white paint dingy and storm beaten,
and its little fenced-in front yard dot
ted thickly with clumps Of silver-leaf
saplings A sign, nailed crookedly on
post, informed those seeking such In
formation that within was to be found
"Abishai G. W. Pepper, Tax Collector.
Assessor, Boots and Shoes Repaired"
And beneath this was fastened shin
gle with the chalked notice. Salt Hay
for Sale"
The boot and shoe portion Of the
first sign was a relic Of other days.
Ryan had been cobbler once, but 1t
is discouraging to wait three or four
weeks while the pair of boots one has
left to be resoled are forgotten In a
corner
The minister walked up the dusty
lane, lifted the Pepper gate, swung II
back on Its one hinge, and knocked
at the front door. No one coming In
answer to the knock, he tried again
Then from somewhere in the rear OF
the house came the sound OF human
voice.
"Hi!" 1t called family. Whoever
you be, don't bust that door down
Come round here"
Ellery came along" as far as the
angle where the ell joined the main
body Of the house. So far as he could
see every door and window was closed
and there were no signs Of life. How
ever, he stepped to the door. a green
painted affair Of boards, and venturet
another knock.
Don't start that poundin' again!'
protested the voice. Come round tt
t'other Nside where I be-"
So around went the Reverend John
smiling broadly. But even on "tothel
side" there was no one to be seen
And no door, for that matter.
"Why!' exclaimed the voice, 81
faint Mr.. Ellery! How dye doH GlaC
To see you. Mr. Ellery. Fine day, aim

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
Of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.
these things are digested in the small
Intestines, and if we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, Indigestion, and a long train Of
ails result.
Too much fat also Is hard to digest
and this Is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago l suffered
with bad acknowledgements, indiges-
ton. constipation-caused, know
now, from overeating starchy and
greasy food.
81 doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. l could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and l be-
came discouraged.
"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and began to use it. In less than
two weeks l began to feel better and
inside Of two months 1 was a well
woman and have been ever since.
81 can eat anything / wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast and are very
fond of It," Name given by Postum
