Cajrolluo turned. So did Sylvester.
Captain Ellsha was standing hi tho
doorway, his hand on tho knob. Ho
was smiling broadly, but as ho looked
at tho two by tho tiro ho ceased to
smile.
"What's all this?" ho asked sus
piciously. "Cnrollno, what Sylvester,

"All right! AH right!" ho said grim
ly. "Sylvester, is your shop goln to

"Guess not, captain," was the puz

"But Graves '11 be to homo, won't ho?

He turned, strode to the door and
out of tho room. A moment later thoy
heard a scream from Miss Bake? In
tho kitchen: "LIsha Warren, what alls
you? Are you crazy?" There was no
nnswer, but the back door closed with
a tremendous bang.
Half an hour nfter his dramatic exit
Captain EUsha was pacing up and
down the floor of tho ham. It was an
old refuge of his, n place where he was
accustomed to go when matters requir
ing deliberation and thought oppressed
him. As ho turned in his stride he
saw a shadow move across tho sill of
tho big, open door. Ho caught his
breath and stopped.
Carollno entered tho barn. Sho camo
straight to him and put her hands upon
the lapels of his coat Her eyes wero
wet and shining.
"Caroline?" he faltered eagerly.
"You good man!" sho breathed soft
ly. "Oh, you good man!"
"Carollno!" His voice shook, but
there was hope In It "Caroline, you'ro
goln to tako tho money?"
"Yes, Undo Ellsha. Mr. Sylvester
has shown me that I must. He says
you will do something desperate If I re

really?"
"Yes. Uncle Ellsha."
"Glory be! And nnd, Caroline, you

"Forgive you? Can I over thank

"S-s-h-h! S-s-h! There!" with a
great Blgh, almost a sob, of relief, "I

"Carollno." ho asked, "I wonder If,

"What is it uncle?"
"It's somethln' perhaps I ain't got

Ho waited for his answer. Then sho
looked up, blushing still, but with a
smile trembling on her llp3.
"Yes, Undo Ellsha, sho said, "be

The clouds blew away thnt night,
and Thanksgiving day dawned clear
nnd cold. The gray sea was now blue.
Tho white paint of tho houses and
fences glistened In tho sun. The groves
of pitch plno wero brilliant green
blotches spread like rugs here and there
on the brown hills. South Dcnboro had
thrown off its gloomy raiment and was
"nil dolled up for Thanksglvln'," so
Captain Elishn said.
Tho captain and Sylvester wero lean
ing on tho fence by tho gate, looking
up tho road and waiting for Dan and
the "two seater" to heavo in sight
around tho bend. The hired man had
harnessed early and driven to tho sta
tion at least thirty minutes beforo
train time. Captain Elisba was re
sponsible for tho early start Stevo
was coming on that train. Possibly
some ono elso was coming. Tho cap
tain did not mean they should find no
welcome or vehicle nt tho station.
The whistle had sounded ten minutes
before. It was time for Dan to appear
at the bend.
"I hope to thunder Jim got that tele
gram." observed tho captain for the
twentieth time at least since breakfast
"So do I," replied his friend. "There's
no reason why ho shouldn't is there?"
"No, no sensible one, but I'vo scared
up no less than a couple of hundred of
tho other kind. If he shouldn't como
my, my,' she'd be dlsnppdlnted!"
Ho motioned with his head toward
tho window of Caroline's room.
They turned in time to catch a
glimpse of the girl as sho parted tho
curtains nnd looked out on tho road.
Sho saw them looking at her, smiled,
blushed and disappeared. Both men
smoked hi silence for a moment; then
the captain said:
"Say, Sylvester, this New York cruise
of mine turned out pretty good, after
all, didn't it?"
"Decidedly good. It wns tho making
of your nleco and nephew. Caroline
realizes it now, and. so will Stove."
"Hopo so. It didn't do mo any
harm," with n chuckle. "I wouldn't
havo missed that llttlo beat up tho
bay with Mann Dunn for a good deal.
For n spell thero wo was bows abreast
and 'twas hard to tell who'd turn the
mark first"
Sylvester laughed. "I'll tell yon
what, Captain Warren," ho said. "I
never saw you In better spirits. Do you
know whut I think? I think that for
a chap who has Just given away half
of a good sized fortune nnd intends
giving away tho other half you'ro tho
most cheerful specimen I ever saw."
The captain laughed too. "I am,
ain't I?" ho said. "Well, I can say
truthful what I never expected to say
In my llfo thnt onco I was wuth ha'f
u. million dollars. As for the rest of It
I'm like that millionaire that HI!
Look! Thero comes Dan! Sco him?
"Steve!" cried tho captain excitedly.
"There's Steve! And and yes, there's
somebody on the back seat It's Jim!
He's comet Hooray!"
"Walt!" Sylvester cried. "I don't
want to Ioso tho rest of that sentence.
You said you wero llko some million

"Don't bother mol" cried Captain
Ellsha. "Who? Why, I was goln to
say I was llko that millionaire chap
who passes out a library every tlmo
ho wakes up and happens to think of

woods, says Popular Science Monthly.
Perhaps half the lumber now sold un
der that name la not true mahogany,
for the demand greatly exceeds the
supply. '
Tho tree Is only native to the limited
nrea between southern Florida and
northern South America. Nowhere else
does it really llourish. But the public
will hnvo mahogany. "Women wnnt It
for furniture, business men prefer It
for oillce ilxtures, nnd teak and ma
hogany nro rivals in the affections of
shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes
flourish.
It Is not surprising thnt the real
wood Is so expensive when It is learned
thnt It takes from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty years for n mn
hognny 'tree to reach merchantable
size.
Most of tho substitutes bear little
more than a general rcsemblnnco to
the genuine wood, but skillful finishing
mnkes them very much nllke. Experts
can usually distinguish between them
by tho aid of nn ordinary pocket lens.
The efforts of the superficial, however,
to Judge the wood by Its nppenrance,
weight, grain and color often lead
them astray.
