him into the dory. Ebenezer rowed
the trio to the beach and the rest OF
the journey was comparatively easy.
The shanty had three rooms, one OF
which was given up TO the patient,
one used as living room, and, in the
third, Capen and the minister were to
sleep. Mattresses were procured, kind
hearted townspeople donated cast-on
tables and chairs. and the building
was made as comfortable as it could
be, under the circumstances. Sign
boards, warning strangers to keep
away, were erected, and in addition to
them, the Trumet selectmen ordered
ropes stretched across the lane on
both sides OF the shanty. But ropes
and signs were superfuous. Trumet
in general was in a blue funk and
had no desire to approach within a
mile of the locality. Even the driver
of the grocery cart, when he left the

packages under the ropes, yelled a

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

the pan was half empty.
The minister laid him gently back in

against the side of the San Jose. Men.

rail. Burgess was one OF them;
ashamed of his panic, he had returned
TO assist the others in bringing the
brigantine into safer anchorage by
the inlet.

The next day the body OF Murphy, {"

buried In the corner OF the Regular
graveyard, near those who were
drowned In the wreck OF that winter
Capen remained at the shanty another
week. Then. as the minister showed
no symptoms Of having contracted the

companion, Ebenezer departed to take
up his fishing once more.

the decision that he should not GO

1 want to know is whether you think
l could leave you for a couple OF days?
The Ostable County Medical Society
meets at Hyannis tomorrow and l had
promised myself to take 1t in this
year. But l don't want to leave you.
If 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 a
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 its 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?
A rope, apparently. but why should
there be ropes in that house? There
had never been any before. He
climbed over it and 1t was a climb
OF hundreds OF feet and the height
made him giddy. That was a house,
another house, not the one he had
been living in. And there were lights
all about. Perhaps one OF them was
the light at the parsonage. And big
bell was booming. That was his
church bell and he would be late for
the meeting.
Some one was speaking to him. He
knew the voice, He had known 1t al
ways and would know II forever. II
was the voice he wanted to hear
"Grace!" he called. Grace! l want
you. Don't &C. Don't got Grace!
oh. my dear, don't go"
Then the voice had gone. No. 1t had
not gone. 1t was still there and he
heard it speaking to him. begging him
TO listen, pleading with him to &C
somewhere. go back. back to some
thing or other. And there was ar
arm about his waist and some on'
WAS leading him, helping him. H,
