CHAPTER VII.

In Which the Parson and Mr.. Pepper
Declare Their Independence.
That afternoon. when dinner was
over. the Reverend John decided to
make q few duty calls. The first Of
these he determined should be on the
Peppers.
The Pepper house was situated Just
OF the main road on the lane leading
over the dunes to the ocean and the
light It was small building, it,
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 crookadly on
post, informed those seeking such in.
formation that within was to be found
"Abishai q. W. Pepper. Tax Collector,
Assessor. Boots and Shoes Repaired"
And beneath this was fastened q shin

The boot and shoe portion Of the
first sign was relic Of other days.
Ryan had been cobbler once, but It
b discourasing to wait three or four
weeks while tho pair Of boots one has
left to b resoled are forgotten In q
corner.
Tho minister walked up the dusty
Zane, lifted the Pepper gate. swung Il
back on its one hinge, and knocked
at tho front door. No one coming in
answer to the knock. he tried asain.
Then from somewhere In the rear Of
the house came the sound Of a human
voice.
"Hi!" it 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, green.

Don't start that poundin' again!"
protested tho voice. "Come round to
t'other side whore be-"
So around went the Reverend John
amiling broadly. But even on "t'othe1
side" there was no one to be seen
And no door. for that matter.
"Why!' exclaimed the voice, I'll

to see you. Mr.. Ellery. Fine day, amt

Sure enough: one of the Windows

sash the minister discsrnsd TIE O.

the ground, looked up.

"shsh. shh! Nothin' at all. Don't

mean 1t. You see, you've got friend
that's a friend Of mine, and, when she
guarantees a man to be A. B., I'll ship

Breakfast had waited nearly an hour
when the minister reached home. Ke-
ziah, also, was waiting and evidently
much relieved at his safe arrival.
"Sakes alive" she exclaimed, as she
