She nodded her head so vigorously that the wisps of fair hair fell about her large blue eyes. "Yes, I love you, Mack. There, now, you've looked long enough. Kiss me, please." She lifted her face. Mr. McGowan was unstintingly obeying the command when a loud knock jarred the side door. They started and sprang apart.
McGowan, and then answered them by saying that he was all right, Mack looked as happy as a school kid." Hank once more whispered to the minister. The answer was apparently satisfactory, for the boys gave a parting cheer, declaring that they would all be present in church the following Sunday.
Little did they know that night as they peacefully sailed round the inlet just what the future was to demand in the way of a fulfilment of that promise. During the following weeks Mr. McGowan continued to grow in favor with the people of the church and village. Every Sunday the little chapel was crowded.
"Damn him," was all Casey could answer. "Damn him. Damn him." He tossed the raw liquor down his throat and poured another drink. McGowan smiled. "You can do that till Doomsday and it won't hurt him." McGowan's voice rang with contempt. "Is that all you can do? Are you afraid " Casey interrupted fiercely. "I'm NOT afraid. You know it. I'll get even." "How?" "Never mind.

Keith, who was really most unaccustomed to the heavy drinking then in vogue, was filled with a warm and friendly feeling toward everybody.
"I should say er that you have put the matter in a very diplomatic way," observed the Elder, apparently once more himself. "No explanations are necessary er I assure you. I was once a young man, and have not forgotten that fact. I apologize, Mr. McGowan, if by my attitude I appeared er to misjudge you. The trouble was with me, not with you.
"Then take the next train for Gotown; see McGowan, go with him to the printers at once and get out the tickets, so many at one dollar, so many at seventy-five cents, the rest at fifty and on all of these have reserved seats in big type. You can then have as many as you think we need for general admission. Have no reserved seats printed on them.
I can't go about and see to things any more as I used to. However we must expect evils at my time of life. I don't complain. I have a great deal to be thankful for." "Yes, Sir, we have a great deal to be thankful for," said Mr. Jolly, rather abstractedly, and patting the old mare with kind attention.
