Close by was the stari: church, with

the woman before him went sttri-lily on with

a Ivamtsra jaiii toward t ie edg.' of the pit.

"Kliii'd b at bo no alon? about sundowu."
Faruswor.b linore l iiiesolutely a moment
or two, as if 1 ho. -e wore in:iny things con
criiiiug which he could wish to ak; but, as
tho woman gave buu n eiicourageni?nt, he
turul at last and climbed the slippery,
ragged path up to the chirxli, uutetbeivd
bis horse, and drove slowly down tho bill to
ihe Village.
f.'up'n Nat Horsey was Just coming, out of
the vibage store, an l to him Fanisworth a 1
Iressod an inquiry where be might iiud
shelter for biuiso.f and horse.
"Well," the cap'u responded, with the de
liberation of a man who has very little to
say and h.s whole life Ui say it in, "well, I
bmno b,it ye might get a chance with W'id-
ler Bemis, an' I dun no as ye conll; but
there ain't 110 harm trying, as I kn ws of."
Further inq liry regarding the where
alionts of the domicile of tho Widow Iiemls
led to an oiler on th part of Cap'n llersey to
act as pilot to that haven. He declined, how
ever, to take a seat iu tho bu.;gy. The cap'n
lia I his own opinion of land-vehicles. A
man might with perfect assurance trust him
self in a boat; b it, for his own part, the
ap'ii ha 1 110 faith in thoso dangerous struct
iits which roam about with uothiug better
ban dy l uid under the 111. He waliced along
by tho side of thu c irriag-j, cjnv-.irsin uffa
bly with. the stranger under hiscouv y.
"Isn't it 11 ( irr uot.ou to have a woman
for a sexton Farns worth asked, as they
wendi.'il aloag.
"Well, yes," th cai'n roturnel reflect
ively. "Yes, it is sort of curious. Ft4ks
mostly speak of it that comes here. It is
curious if ye look at it that way. But it all
come about as natural as a liarnacle 011 a
keel. Old Sexton Gnniwot kept getting con
siderable f ..t-bl , aud Delia she took to help

cut oft from folks, as ye may say,
owing to having a baby and uo father
to show for it, au ) shj naturally took

with tho ol 1 m ill. An 1 when the old man
was taken dawn with a l.anguishmeut, she
turno 1 to anl did all his work for bim
having -gradually worked into it, as you tuay
say.
The cap'n pawed to recover from his
astonishment at having been Ijetrayd into
so long a Bpeech ; but us the stranger bad the
air of expecting him to coatiuue;"he presently
went on again:
"There was them that wauted her turned
out when old Orimwet died. Some qaid a
woman of that chain t -r had.i't ought to
