She could manage him; 1t was with
Grace that she had her struggle. First.
and bluntly, she told the girl that her
leaving was useless. The secret was
out; 1t had been made public. Every
one knew she was in love with John
and he with her. Their engagement
was considered an established GER
tainty. Grace was greatly agltated
and very indignant.
"Who dared say SOP" she demanded.
Who dared say We were engaged!
It's not true. It's a wicked lie and
Who is responsible, Aunt Keziah?"

"Yup; me. You are in love with

coaxed, and, at last, when she began
to think she had prevailed, Grace
brought forward another objection

How could she break that promise to

1t was still unsettled when the long
talk was over, but Grace agreed not
to leave the minister at present. She
would stay where she was until he
was himself again, at least. Keziah
was satisfied with the preliminary
skirmish. She felt confident of win
ming the victory, and in the prospect
of happiness for others, she was al
most happy herself. Yet each time the
mail was brought to the shanty she
dreaded to look at it, and the sight of
stranger made her shake with fear.
Ansel Coffin had threatened to come
to Trumet. If he came, she had made
up her mind what to do.
The parish committee was to meet.
Captain Elkanah had announced his
intention of moving that John Ellery
be expelled from the Regular church.
There was to be no compromise, no
asking for a resignation; he must be
discharged, thrown out In disgrace.
The county papers were full of the
squabble, but they merely reported
the news and did not take sides. The
fight was too even for that.
One afternoon few days before
the date set for the meeting Elkanah
and two or three of his henchmen
were on the piazza of the Daniels
home, discussing the situation. They
were blue and downcast. Annabel
was in the sitting room, shedding
tears of humiliation and jealous rage
