ow Jerrold to say yes to him, and
nobody except the captain wanted to
get Widow Abigail to say Eyes" to
him. Naturally the two widows hated
each other. The captain boarded at
Widow Jerrold's house when Ms ship
was in port.
"He's going to get Widow Abigail"
I said to Widow Jerrold.
Maybe" she answered, with her
shy smile. 1T will be a good thing
for him, perhaps
"Why?' I asked obviously.
Captain Israel" said Widow Jer-
rold, needs woman's refining influ-
ence in his life. Widow Abigail has
been teaching him to stop drinking
and swearing"
That was true enough. Captain Is
rael was becoming changed man.
Everybody could see it in his manner.
When his mate let the rope slip and a
box Of blankets went overheard down
among the lobster pots, the captain
turned q CLASSY eye on him.
"You-you-you please be so kind
as to be bit more cautious, MIR.
Ford" he said.
AYE, SIR" said the mate, trembling
in his shoes.
Captain Israel was on the reforming
tack. He drank nothing but milk and
barley water, and his speech was as
mild as pet lambs. He came into
port with dirty ship and mutinous
crew, and calling them all mister.
He was very much distressed that
evening when he came back from
Widow Abigail's.
"She isn't satisfied yet" he told
Widow Jerrold. "She says got to
stop smoking, too. l smoked since
was kid. It's hard-its hard
"A good woman's love is worth
fighting to win, Captain Israel" re-
marked Widow Jerrold.
He frightened up at that. Widow
Abigail had promised to let him ask
her to marry him the next time his
ship came in, provided he hadn
smoked in the meantime. However, a
contretemps marked his arrival. His
men had mutinied fatty, and he had
knocked one of them down, reduced
the remainder to subsection and got
things in applique order. The news
spread fast and FAR. Captain Israel
received the worst tongue-lashing
Widow Abigail had ever given him.
"She says I'm backslider," re
marked the captain to Widow Jerrold
"She says I'll have to start in again
and make a new record"
"But think of the Joy of winning

ner, and I watched them intent,y.
Something seemed to be in Widow
Jcrrolds mind, but ! wasn't sure what
it was. Certainly Widow Jerrold was
a good woman; she had been a great
consolation to Captain Israel in his
times of trouble, and she was always
urging him to try to make himself
worthy of Widow Abigail, although the
two women weren't on speaking
terms.
The next time Captain Israel came
home I never saw such change In
any man. He had lost a good many
pounds, his face was pale and his eyes
sunken, and his voice had become q
husky rattle.
"Widow Abigail says I've got to-
put myself to another test he said.
'She don't believe it's genuine. She
says she can't marry man she amt
sure of, and how does she know l
don't drink and smoke and cuss when
I'm aboard, and then put on all the
new ways for her. She says Eve got
to go and live with her sister, Mrs.
Primm."
I sympathized deeply with Captain
Israel. He had been 80 coy and COM
Portable for years at Widow Jerrold's,
and now he had to take up his quar-
tiers with Mrs. Primm, another of Bid
defords ancient families. Mrs. Primm
was strtcter even than Widow Abb
gail, and she could scent puff of
cigarette across ten-acre field.
She'll lose him if she drives him
too hard" said to Widow Jerrold.
I shall never forget the enigmatical
smile with which she favored me.
Some women know when they're
we'll off, and some don't" she an
swered.
The captain took it very hard, but
Wido9 Abigail was adamant. I saw
him standing miserably in the middle
of his ROOM looking about him at his
trophies There was the cabinet OF
shells that he had brought from the
Bahamas, and the whales tooth, and
shark-skin whip, the assegais from
Zululand and the warclubs from the
Solomons. The captains personal
possessions were wrapped in little
bundle; they were the least Of all.
Widow Jerrold came downstairs.
Can I help you to pack, Captain Is
rael?" she inquired in her mouse-like
way
"No-no thank you,' he stammered.
II take it hard, Mrs. Jerrold, but-Im
going There's nothing you can do
Widow Jerrold looked at the cap
tain in a singular way. He looked at
her, and in that moment think the
scales fell from his eyes. He saw the
cozy little room, and the matronly fig
ure at his side-and then, think, he
saw Widow Abigail, with her angry
glare.
"Why don't you stay, Captain 1s~
rael?" asked Widow 5e-rold.

ably like, kiss. &. Il .,., ,;s, 81 i.
When Captain Israel comes home he
roars for his pipes and grog, as or
old time. He sits at the table looking
out over the sea, and all who pass
cringe, for they know him for the
worst buckle captain afloat Only at
home is he changed man. When his
eye lights upon Mrs. Israel he speaks
as gently as pet lamb, and there
isn't an oath in his vocabulary. But
if the name of Widow Abigail comes
up
"To think I nearly struck my flag
to THAT blank, blank, blank, blank OF a
blank" roars Captain Israel.
