Pete McPhay he saw one, deer huntin', two years ago, an' said he'd talk pleasant to anybody, like Mr. Jelliffe. That's why I thinks he's more like a Lard nor a Juke." This conclusion seemed to meet with general approval, and the men went on. Dr. Grant came over to us fairly early this morning, and joined us on the little porch. "Good morning," he said.
She was bravely trying to smile, and accused herself of being a silly fool. Miss Jelliffe put her hand on the girl's shoulder. "You never said you would like to go with us, Susie," she said. "I'll be only too glad to take you if you want to come." "Now don't be after foolin' me jest ter make me stop greetin' like a silly calf!" exclaimed Susie. "Yer sure don't mean it, does yer?"
You are getting along very well, Mr. Jelliffe. Just let me have another look before I go away." The inspection seemed to be entirely satisfactory. "Well, I'll run now," said Dr. Grant. "I'll come and see you the moment I get back." He hurried out again, and I saw him join Sammy and the Frenchman.
"We has some merlasses now," one of the women told me, proudly. "Th' little bye he be allers a puttin' some on bread an' leavin' it on th' cheers." Daddy is calling me, so good by for the present. I am so glad the people of Sweetapple Cove interest you. Lovingly, HELEN. From Miss Helen Jelliffe to Miss Jane Van Zandt
"Never mind," I cried, "keep on fighting even if your arms are ready to drop. A steady pull on him. That's fine! Bring him again a little nearer. That's the way! He is mighty tired now; just a bit nearer. Good enough!" The iron of the gaff disappeared under water. Miss Jelliffe was giving him the butt, and her lips quivered.
I thanked her and assured her that I would accept her kind invitation another time, as I had to go at once to another patient. And so Miss Jelliffe turns out to be an exceedingly womanly young woman, which, after all, is the only kind we poor imperfect men are able to admire. When the chance came for her to show courage and sympathy she seized upon it instinctively.
"There are thirty-nine good ones," he said, "besides one or two little ones that will hardly come up to the mark. It is a big beamy head with broad flat horns. You will seldom see a better one, Miss Jelliffe." We sat there for a moment, and presently heard some one coming through the woods. It was the two men who were hurrying towards us. "Camp ain't a quarter mile away," shouted Sammy.
"Now sit up a little and let me fix your throat," he said. "Yes, you've got to take some of your own medicine now, old fellow. Frenchy, you get behind him and hold him up. The light is poor here; better bring your candle. Miss Jelliffe, hold it just this way for me. That's good. Now open your mouth, my boy."
"The only thing that hurts is that I have had none of the fishing," said Daddy. "I have made up my mind to return another year and let the Tobique take care of itself. By the time I am well enough to fish there will not be another salmon that will rise, this year." "No, Mr. Jelliffe," answered the doctor. "The salmon are beginning to cease their interest in flies, but the trout are biting well."
"Bring up the barrel, Sammy," said the doctor. "I'm going up to the house. I don't think I'll keep you waiting very long, Miss Jelliffe." He hastened up, scrambling up the rocky path, and entered the house. I followed him, perhaps rather indiscreetly. This queer atmosphere of poverty had affected me, I think, and I suddenly became eager to see whether I could not be of some help.
