Gabe Bearse asked Babbie about it, and Phin here he " "Eh?" The captain turned to face his old enemy. "So you've been talkin', have you?" he asked. Mr. Babbitt leaned forward. "I ain't begun my talkin' yet, Sam Hunniwell," he snarled. "When I do you'll " He stopped. Grover had touched him on the shoulder. "Sshh!" said the Major quietly. To the absolute amazement of Captain Sam, Phineas subsided.

Jed's rocking back and forth on the box became almost energetic and his troubled expression more than ever apparent. "Now now, Sam," he begged, "I've told you all about that ever and ever so many times. There wasn't anything, really." "There was, too. What was it?" Jed suffered in silence for two or three minutes. "What was the real reason? Out with it," persisted Captain Hunniwell.

And an accompanying male voice appraised him as "Some guy, believe me! S-o-o-me guy!" Jed winced a little, but he went on with his painting. On one's forty-fifth birthday one has acquired or should have acquired a certain measure of philosophical resignation. Other customers or lookers came and went. Maud Hunniwell, Captain Sam's daughter, dropped in on her way to the post office.

Therefore, although he still believed the other course safer and better, he would, if Captain Hunniwell wrote, answer as I had asked. And he did answer in that way. So, you see," she cried, eagerly, "HE believes in Charles, just as I do. And just as you will when you know, Mr. Winslow. Oh, WON'T you try to believe now?"

"There he is now, comin' out from astern of that lilac bush. Soldier, ain't he?" It was Ruth Armstrong who first recognized the visitor. "Why," she exclaimed, "it is Major Grover, isn't it?" The major it was, and a moment later Captain Hunniwell ushered him into the room. He had come to Orham on an errand, he explained, and had stopped at the windmill shop to see Mr. Winslow.

Winslow appeared quite oblivious of the stare. His brushes gave the wooden sailor black hair, eyes and brows, and an engaging crimson smile. When Gabriel did speak it was not concerning names. "Say, Jed," he cried, "HAVE you heard about Cap'n Sam Hunniwell? 'Bout his bein' put on the Exemption Board?" His companion went on whistling, but he nodded. "Um-hm," grunted Gabe, grudgingly.

"Well," he observed, "as a boy I was brought up to always speak the truth and I've tried to live up to my early trainin'. Speakin' as a truthful man, then, I'm obliged to say that this dinner ain't like those I used to get at Sam Coy's." Ruth put in a word. "Well, then, Captain Hunniwell," she said, "I think the restaurant you refer to must be one of the best in the world."

At last, after a good deal of very deliberate search, he unearthed more paper currency from the pocket of a dirty pair of overalls hanging on a nail, and emptied a heap of silver and coppers from a battered can on the shelf. Captain Hunniwell, muttering to himself, watched the collecting process. When it was completed, he asked: "Is this all?" "Eh? Yes, I guess 'tis.

"Wished on you nothin'! You planned to get it and you worked to get it and I know why you did it, too. 'Twas to get another crack at me. 'Twas to play another dirty trick on me like the one you played that cheated me out of the post office. You knew they'd drafted my boy and you wanted to make sure he didn't get clear. You " "That'll do!" Captain Hunniwell seized him by the shoulder.

Why, you've told me a hundred times what a fine chap Charlie Phillips was and how much you thought of him, and " Captain Hunniwell interrupted. "Shut up!" he commanded. "Don't talk to me that way! Don't you dare to! I did think a lot of him, but that was before I knew what he'd done and where he'd been. Do you cal'late I'll let my daughter marry a man that's been in state's prison?"
