"N-o-o!" was heard a little while after in a thin and long-drawn-out cry from the sea; and again the horn was heard, a long, hoarse sound that came rocking in on the waves, and burst gurgling in the splash under the wharf and on the slips. The farmers were out of it all. They dozed a little or sat flicking their whips to pass the time. But every one else was in a state of suspense.

Ward stepped back even his composure was slightly jarred and twisted his lips amusedly. "Hello," he said, after a few blank seconds. "You missed some of it, didn't you?"

"No, no, there is no need, and I don't like to leave him. Besides you don't need me." "N-o-o, no, not at all certainly not," said the doctor with growing confidence. "Good-night. I shall show her to her room."
"What's the matter? Kid fall off the porch?" "N-o-o I brought out a wire from Chicago. It's from a doctor there some hospital. The Old Man got hurt. One of them cussed automobiles knocked him down.
