when an officer approached. King sa-
luted.

mouth? How long have you been
here?"
Three days." replied King.
You are excused this time" said
the officer, but don't let me catch you
doing that again"
In short time King met the same
officer and walked by without salut-
ing.
why didn't you salute?" demanded
the officer, stopping him.

Then the voice had gone. No, it had
not gone. 1t was still there and he
heard it speaking to him, begging him
to listen, pleading with him to go
somewhere, go back, back to some
thing or other. And there was an
arm about his waist and some one
was leading him, helping him. He
broke down and cried childishly and
some sone cried with him.

| could leave you for a couple of days?
The Ostable County Medical Society
meets at Hyannis tomorrow and | had
promised myself to take it in this
year. But l don't want to leave you,
il you need me-"
Ellery insisted that he did not need
anyone, was getting along finely, and
would not hear to his friends miss
ing the medical society's meeting. So
the physician went. John Ellery did
not feel cheerful that afternoon. The
tired feeling he had spoken Of so light
ly was worse than he had described it,
and he was respondent, for no particu-
lar reason. That night he slept miser-
ably and awoke with chill to find
cold, pouring rain beating against the
windows of the shanty.
He lay down on his bed and tried to
sleep, but though he dozed bit, woke
always with start and either a chill
or fever fit. His head began to ache
violently. And then, in the lonesome
ness and misery, fear began to take
hold of him.
Night came. The rain had ceased
and stars were shining clear. Inside
the shanty the minister tossed on the
bed, or staggered back and forth about
the two rooms. He wondered what
the time might be; then he did not
care He was alone. The smallpox
had him in it's grip. Why didn't some
one come? Where was Mrs. Coffin?
And Grace? She was somewhere near
him-Parker had said so-and he must
see her before he died. He called her
name over and over again.
The wind felt cold on his forehead.
He stumbled amidst the beach grass.
What was this thing across his path?

her the news of the San Jose, but she
said nothing Of the minister's part in
It. "Poor thing!" sighed Keziab, 'she's
bearin' enough already"

CHAPTER xV.-(Continued.)


The sick man was raving in delirium
when he reached him, but the sound
of the water tapping the sides of the
saucepan brought him to himself. He
seized Ellery by the arm and drank
and drank When at last he desisted,
the pan was half empty.
The minister laid him gently back in
he bunk and stepped to the foot of
The ladder for breath. This made him
think Of the necessity for air in the
place and he remembered the little
window. 1t was tightly closed and
rusted fast He went up to the deck,
found a marlin spike, and, returning,
broke the glass. A sharp, cold
9raught swept through the forecastle,
stirring the garments hanging on the
mails.
An hour later, two dories bumped
against the side of the San Jose. Men,
talking in low tones, climbed over the
rail. Burgess was one of them;
ashamed Of his panic, he had returned
to assist the others in bringing the
brigantine into a safer anchorage by
the inlet.
DR.. Parker, very grave but business
like, reached the deck among the first.
"Mr Ellery," he shouted, where
are you?"
The minister's head and shoulders
appeared at the forecastle companion.
Here 1 am, DOCTOR" he said. will
you come DOWN."
The doctor made no answer in
words, but he hurried briskly across
the deck. One man, Ebenezer Capen,
an old fisherman and ex-whaler from
East Trumet, started to follow him,
but he was the only one. The others
waited, with scared faces, by the rail.
Get her under way and inshore as
soon as you can" ordered DR.. Parker
'Ebenezer, you can help. II l need
you below, I'll call"
The minister backed down the lad
der and the doctor followed him. Par
ker bent over the bunk for a few mo-
ments in silence.
He's pretty bad" he muttered.
Mighty little chance. Heavens, what
q den! Who broke that Window"
Il did," replied Ellery. THE air
down here was dreadful"
The doctor nodded approvingly. 81
guess so,' he said. Its bad enough
now. We've got to get this poor fellow
out of here as soon as we can or he'll
die before tomorrow. Mr.. Ellery," he
added sharply, what made you do
this? Don't you realize the risk you've
RUM"
Some one had to do it. You are
running the same risk
mot just the same, and, besides,
it's my business. Why didn't you let
spare Humph! Confound it. man!
didn't fou know any better? Weren't
you affaid?"
His tone rasped Ellery's shaken
nerves
"Of course I was" he snapped ir-
ritably. I'm not an idiot"
"Humph! Well, all right; I beg your
pardon. But you oughtn't to have done
It. Now you'll have to be guaranteed.
And who in thunder / can get to stay
with me in this case is more than l
know. Just say smallpox to this town
and it goes to pieces like smashed
egg. Old Ed Cspen will help, for he's

pant Of the bunk.
