CHAPTER XXXIII Continued.
"You are very good to como nt this
hour," the sufferer said. "I spoko to
you this evening of my dear friend
from California. Miss Cardcn, allow
me to present him. God bless you
both I"
And thus they met. after tho weary
fllsht of years. Tenderly laying
Illake hack on the pillows, John
clasped Jessie's hands and looked In
her face.
"John!"
"Jessie!"
"Take her In your nrms, John!
Don't mind me. She loves "
Ills voice died with a whisper, nnd,
with a long-drawn sigh, he closed his
eyes.
"He's dying! Call the doctor!" ex
claimed Jessie, fear nnd pity chasing
the love light from her eyes.
"Don't send for him, I'm all right
now," pleaded Illake, opening his
eyes. "Let mo Ho hero and talk to
you. The sight of you two Is hotter
than all the drugs or Instruments. I
have something to tell you Miss Car
den. I "
"You promised not to talk," Inter
rupted John Burt, with n look nt
Blake which had all the effect of a
command.
"Let me say Just a word!" ho ex
claimed. "To see you two together,
nnd to hold your hands In mine af
ter all that ha3 happened, gives mo
new courage and reneweJ ambition."
Tho subdued sound of conversation
came from the adjoining room. All
of Blake's faculties seemed abnor
mally acute.
"Is not that Edith's voice?" he
asked.
"She is In the other room," said
Jessie.
"Lot her como In," pleaded Blake.
John made a gesture of disapproval.
"I should llko to see her, but you
know best, I suppose, John," he said.
Dr. Harkness entered the room nnd
signaled to John that the interview
must end. Blake gallantly raised
Jessie's hand to his lips. .
"Good-bye, until I'm better," ho said,
almost gaily. "You and John have
saved my life."
John escorted Jessie to the door,
whispered n few words and returned
to Blake's side.
"You're a god, John!" said Blake,
in a low tone. "You are tho only
man In the world worthy tho love of
such a woman."
It Is merciful to draw the curtain
over the two hours which followed.
At last n moment como when the
grave face of Dr. Harkness was
touched with a smile of professional
pride, as he drew from an Incision a
flattened, Jagged piece of lead. Tho
patient glanced at It with paln-dls-torted
eyes, and then Bank Into a
Bleep, the awakening from which
meant so much In deciding for life
or death.
CHAPTER XXXIV.
The End.
Peter Burt stood by tho gateway
and shaded his eyes with his hand
as he gazed down the road. Two
weeks before that day ho had re
ceived his first letter from John. It
briefly and modestly recited the story
of his struggles and of his success,
and ended with an account of the
tragedy which resulted In the death
of Arthur Morris and the wounding
of Blake.
Tho old-fashioned clock had sound
ed the midday hour, nnd Peter Burt
looked beyond tho turn of the road,
whero the yellow-brown of dust had
dulled tho grcon of foliage. Respond
ing to the touch of a whip a spirited
team of horses dashed ahead as they
reached the summit of the hill.
Sam Rounds was driving, and a
.stranger to Peter Burt was beside
hint. John( Burt and Jessie wero in
the rear seat.
"God is very good to us, John," said
Peter Burt, as ho took his grandson's
"hand and looked, through glad tears,
into hts face. Ills stern old face grow
toudor as he turned to Jessie Carden.
An old man's blessing on your
pretty head," ho said, gently touching
tip folds of her hair with his huge
paV- "You nro very beautiful, my
daughter, and It Is God's will that you
flhall bo happy. I am glad to see
you again, Samuel."
He looked searchlngly at tho silent
man In the front seat.
"I do not know you, air," he said.

extending his hand, "but any Wend
of my grandson's is welcome to such
hospitality as a Burt can offer."
"Aye. nyo, sir; Captain Burt! My
name's Hawkins John Hawkins, nnd
I'm coming ashore," said the gentle
man, stepping from the carrlnge.
Peter Burt grasped him by tho
shoulders and stared Into his face.
"Jack Hawkins! Jack Hawkins, of
the Segregnnsett! The dead has como
to life, and (Sod Is good to his serv
ant! Forgive me. Hawkins, as Ho
has forgiven me!"
"Nothing to forgive. Captain Burt!"
exclaimed John Hawkins, heartily, as
he grasped the patriarch's hand. "You
dropped me oft the Segregnnsett in
Hin rliht nlnrn nnd at the right time.
Destiny orders all these things, nnd
old destiny and I arc chums. I'll tell
you all about It. Captain Burt, when
we have lots of time."
Linked arm In arm fi old captain
and his first mate entered the wide
tloor ot tho Burt rurmhouso.
Never had the great oaken tabic up
held such a dinner. Mrs. Jasper was
temporarily supplanted by a chef from
Boston. Bare old plato came, for tho
first time In John's recollection, from
mysterious chests stored away In the
attic. Those who surroundod the
board never will forget tho Invocation
offered by Peter Burt when he blessed
the food. The shadows which dark
ened his life had all been lifted, and
the austere cloud passed from his
leatures as fog betore a quickening
gale.
Glistening in a new cont of paint,
the Standish bobbed at the landing
when John helped Jessie on board.
They had accepted Sam Round's In
vitation to a clambake at Churchill's
Grove, and Snm asked all hjs old
friends and neighbors. For the first
time In the memory of the living gen
eration Peter Burt attended an out
ing. Under the giant pines he sat
with John Hawkins and told and lis
tened to tales of the sea.
The Standlsh pointed her bow out
towards Minor's Light, and picked her
way between threatening rocks. Un
der tho shadow of Black Reef John
dropped the anchor and watched tho
lino until It became taut ns thn inrnm.
Ing tide swept them near tho rocks.
Above his head he could see tho spot
whore he had knelt as a boy nnd
listened to Peter Burt while ho prayed
to tho God who ruled the storm. For
some minutes no words wero spoken.
"Do you remember the last time wo
were here, Jessie?" ho asked.
"Yes, John," without raising her
oyes.
"Do you remember what I said to
you that day. Jessie?"
"I I think I do, John." It may
havo been tho reflection of tho sun,
but a touch of crimson came to her
cheeks. "It was a long tlmo ngo,
John, and perhaps I've forgotten Just
what you said. Can you repeat it?"
An arm reached out and tho llttlo
hand was firmly clasped.
"I told you that I loved you, Jessie,"
ho said. Tho Imprisoned hand made
no attompt to escape. "I told you
that that love was my Inspiration;
that no woman on earth should sharo
It; that no matter whatever befell
you sunshine or rain, happiness or
sorrow that my nmbltlon was to seo
you showered with all the blessings
God can grant to a good woman; I

lifting her laughing oyes. "You can
any u again ir you wish to. John."
Two soft nrms were around his
neck and two sweet lips met his.
"You knew I would wait for you,
John, didn't you?"

John Burt's modest mansion stands
on tho crest of tho hill which slopes
down to the old farmhouse. It com
mands a superb view of the crescent

tn tho long summer dsia Josslo's
children play about' Poter Burt's
knees. Neatly five- score years havo
passed over his head. His shoulders
nro bent, nnd tho voice falters nt
times, but his eyes preserve the spark
of tholr wonted fires.
Watched nnd cared for by those
who love him, he calmly awaits the.
coming of the reaper. Into whoso gar-'
ncr long slnco have been gathered the
atoms ot his generation. I
A few miles away another mansion
fronts the ocean. James Blako and
his fair Kdlth have been blessed with
two children nnd with each other's
love. A roguish boy bears tho nnmc
of John, nnd n dainty little miss re
sixMids to the name of Jessie. James
Blake Is now In fact ns well ns In
name the head of the great firm so
conspicuous tn this narrative. In a
thousand ways he hns merited the
confidence reposed in him by John
Burt. Generous ns yet, almost to n
fault, he has acquired with responsi
bility that breadth of view and poise
of Judgment which found Its highest
expression in the man who made hl,
success possible.
Retiring from active business when
most men are making a start, John
Burt bus devoted his time to the
study of statesmanship In Its purest
sense. PollUcal honors have crowded
upon him. There nro thousands who
share the confident faith of his lov
ing wife that the highest placo In the
gift of the people shall some day,
crown his career.
There are frequent reunions In the
old farmhouso or on the spacious
lawns surrounding John Burt's resi
dence. Once a year Sam Rounds su
perintends a clambake, nnd John
Hawkins always mannges to be pres
ent. To the latter's inquiries con
cerning tho future Mrs. Rounds, Sam
turns a grinning, untroubled face.
"No man In Rocky Woods Is a bach
elor until he Is waY past sixty," Sam
declares, "an' I'm spry yet as n colt
In clover. Sometimes Ma Rounds la
a bit doubtful crbout my matrimonial
chances, but I has hopes; I still has

more of them clams? Jessie, please

He's coming tip like Bparrowgrass al

!Mrs. Rounds bustles around, hel

busy.
"You set down, Ma Rounds," com
mands Sam In a hopeless tone. "You
set right down nnd let us young folks
wait on the table. I can't break her
of workln', John; I swan, I Just can'!

a glass of sparkling elder, "hero's God
