Hartley tired of tho "Natural Life."
i CHAPTER XVII. Continued.
I expected for sure that they'd lick
Nate Scudder for charging his dry
season rates for secret keeping. But
thpy never mentioned It to lilm. When
I spoke of It to Van Brunt, ho laughed.
"Oh, Scudder's all right," he says.
"Ho had a corner In secrets nnd
Kquoczed tho shorts, that's all. That's
legitimate. Scudder has a talent of
his own."
"Yes, and he's making It teiftnlents
In n hurry, llko the follor In Scripture,"
t:ays I.
"Well, ho doesn't hldo It In a napkin,
.anyway." laughs van.
"-?. .Vr. ontpa T (,T lxnltnvn 1m ftPOQ nnn
of Huldy Ann's stockings."
About threo o'clock wo got Into tho
eklff, th threo of us, and rowed to tho
main. ' t was a hard wot row. I Judged
tho gait wa'n't nil over yet. We
walked up as far as Nato's and there
he was waiting In his buggy to drive
Van Brunt to tho Wellmouth depot,
Martin and Van said good-by and had
n final now-wow over tho Tea Load.
"Good-by" Bays I. "Ain't got nny
real gllt-edgednxpenslvo secrots you
want kept whhi you'ro gone, have
you? I'd like to squeeze a Bhort or
two, myself."
You ought to have seen Nato Scud
der bristle up and glare at mo. But
his passenger only laughed as usual,
"No," he says, "not a one. My con
science Is clear. But I may unearth
a fow whllo I'm away."
Well, ho did. But not tho kind he
oxpected.
I had to step into Nato'8 house to
get a fow eggs. Our own hens was too
weighted down undor tho Natural to
bo working overtime. Huldy Ann had
the remnants of a nicked bluo sot of
dishes that was handed down from her
great aunt on her grandmothor'B side,
nnd sho thought maybo Hartloy'd bo
Interested at a dollar a nick. It took
go long to mako her bellovo ho wa'n't,
that wo wasted an hour or more thoro.
When wo got to the hill by tho bunch
'twas 'most flvo o'clock.
"Tho wind's hauled cloT around."

says I. "Vo ain't had all tho dirty
weather yr. Thls'll bo a bad night in
tho bay.'
Just 1'icn from behind us como tho
hattllng of a wagon nnd tho thumping
of a &. irsc's hoofs. Somebody was
drivlnl our way like all get out.
"Kho In time?" I says. "Runaway,
nlic It?"
3ut 'twas no runaway. In another
miu Ue, n horso all luthcr, hauling a
buggy r.ll mud, comos bouncing over
tho liuniniou. road and down the hill.
A girl was driving it.
"Whoa!" sho screams, shrill. Tho
horse stopped like ho was glad of tho
chance.
"Eureka Sparrow!" I sings out.
"What In tho name of goodness ?"
'Twas Eureka, and tho team was
tho ono that tho Fresh Airers had
hired for the season. The girl looked
as if she'd been through the war. She
had a shawl pinned Ground her, but it
had slipped down 'most to her olbowo,
and her hat was over on tho back of
her neck.
"What'3 tho matter?" I asks. "Is
Dewey"
"Dewey's all right," she says, lean
ing from tho buggy. "It's llttlo Dennis
Itcdny. He's awful sick and
whoro's Mr. Van Brunt?"
i "Gono to New York," says Hartloy,
stopping up to tho wheel. "What is
It? Toll mo about it."
Sho was almost crying. "Tho poor
llttlo follor," she Bays, "ho was took
this morning. Pains, and such suffer
ing. Wo sent for Dr, Bailey, and ho
was sick In bod himself. Then James
drovo over for Dr. Penrose, and ho'd
gono up to tho cltjr to a medical bo
doty meeting. Thcro wa'n't nobody
left but that new doctor at West East
wleh, Dr. Duncan, and nobody likes
him. I wouldn't have him to a sick cat.
Ho Bays it's nppondl appendl some
thing or other."
"Appendicitis?" asks Hartley.
"Yup. That's what ho says. And
ho wants an oporntion to-morrow. And
Miss Agnes don't trust him, and she's
all upset. She thinks more of that
boy ! And she sent mo for Mr. Van
Brunt, and "
"Sol," asks Martin, quick. "Is this
now doctor a good ono?"
"No, no!" says I. "If ho said I had
dlphthcry I'd bo sure 'twas gout. And
thoro ain't another doctor nowheres
around."
"There's one," Bays Eureka, "If wo
could only get him. Miss Talford read
In tho paper day before yesterday
that Dr. Jordan, tho big sturgeon "
"Surgeon," BaysT.
"All right, surgeon then. He's nt tho
Wapatomac houso for n week. But ho
probably wouldn't come and tho tole
graph wires aro down and nobody
thought to write in time. And that
Dr. Duncan thing, ho says he'll operato
to-morrow morning. If ho does he'll
kill tho boy, just as ho dono to Emo
lino Macombcr's child. What shall wo
do? Poor Miss Agnes! Can't nobody
help her?"
"How can I get to Wapatomac?"
asks Martlu. sharp and quick.
"You can't," says I. "Not in tlmo to
get tho doctor. Ho must reach East
wleh on that morning train or 'twill
bo too lato. Tho last train has gono
to-night. There ain't another till eight
o'clock to-morrow. If you took that
'twouldn't reach Wapatomac till tin,
and that's no cood."
Wo was silent for a second. Then
Eureka Jumped up in tho buggy nnd
clapped her hands.
"You can get him!" she cried, her
black oycj snupplng sparks, "Oh, you
can!"
"How?" Martin and mo said to
gether. She pointed towards Ozone Island.
"Tho sailboat!" sho said. "Tho Dora
Bassett! Sail over In hor. Then ho'H
como on the morning train."
I swung n round and looked nt tho
waves and the clouds. Wapatomac
was clear ucross the bay miles und
miles nway. And a night like this was
likely to be!
"Lord!" says I. "It's crazy! We'd
never live "
But Martin Hartley was already half
way to tho skiff. Of courso ho didn't
know tho rl3k, and I did, but well,
thcro.
"I'll go," saya I to Eureka. "You
head for tho school fast r.3 your horso
can travel. Tell tho Pago girl not to
lot Duncnn touch the boy till tho Jor
dan man comes or tho train comes
without him. You understand?"
"You bet you!" suyn she. "It's splen
did! We'll savo (ho boy and Mr. Hart
ley will bo all right with her. Oh, I'm
so glad Mr. Van Brunt wa'n't hero!"
Sho whirled tho horso around nnd
off sho went. I gave ono moro look at
tho weather nnd then ran after Hart
loy. Savo tho boy! A consldorablo
bigger chanco of not saving ourselves.
Well, my school teacher always usot'
to say I'd bo drowned eomo day If J
wa'n't hung first.
1 had ono reef In whon tho Dora Bas
sett swung clear of tho outside point
of Ozono island covo. I hated to take
another, for 1 wanted to make tlmo. But
I had to take It afore wo tackled at tho
ond of tho first ley. 'Twas pretty nigh a
dead beat und tho Eloop was laying
over till I thought sure she'd fill. Tho
wnvos wns ns big, almost, as ovor 1
seo In tho bay, nnd when ono would
fetch us on tho starboard bow the big
gest half of It would shoot clean from
stem to stern. Wo was soaked oforo
we'd hardly started. It couldn't have
been much worso ttulcss 'twas tho mid
dle of February.
I had tho tlllor and Hartley was
for'ard In tho cockpit. I was using tho
mainsail altogether, although later on
I did U30 somo of tho jib to help hor
point up to wlnd'nrd. There was
plenty of water and would bo for
hours, so I could give her tho center
bonrd full. That didn't bothor us
not then.
I was too busy to speak and Martin
didn't seem to caro to. Ho set there,
looking out ahead, and when he
turnod, so's I could seo his face, It was
set and quiet. And In his eyes was the
look that I'd seen thoro onco afore
tho day of tho pig race. I wouldn't
have known him for the reckless, lazy
chap ho'd been for tho last month
or so.
Tho only thins bo said to mo at this
tlmo was, as I remember it, something
llko this:
"I know that Dr. Jordan," ho says.
"I met him at Cambridgo at a football
game. I was there nt collego and fa
ther came over for tho gama. Tho doc
tor was ono of father's friends."
"That's lucky," says I. "Maybo
that'll give you Bomo pull."
"Perhaps so," BayB he.
"If ho won't come," I-asks, "what'll
you do?"
"He'll have to como," wob all tho
answer he made.
Even this llttlo mite of talk meant
hollering your lungs loose. Tho wind
was rising all tho time, tho sea kept
getting moro rugged a3 wo got where
tho bay was wider, and tho splashing
and banging wus worso than a water
wheel working double watches. After
awhile I mndo Hartley sot sldo of me,
so that, when I wanted anything, I
could grab his arm.
This was after It got dark. And it
got dark early. Likewise it begun to
rain. Tho storm that we'd had for tho
IriBt few days seemed to be blowing
back over us. SeemB as if it ought to
bavo rained and blown Itself out by
this tlmo, but wo had proof that It
hadn't.
Wo wa'n't making scarcely anything
on our tacks. Tho Dora Bassett's a
good "wlnd'ard boat, too, but she'd fall
off and fall off. By and by tho dark
and rain got so thick that I couldn't
seo tho shore lights, and I had to run
by compass and guess. There wa'n't
likely to bo uny other blamo fools
afloat to run Into us, still I gavo Hart
loy a horn to blow In caso there
should bo.
'Twas lucky I did. Along about 12,
when wo was somowhores In tho mid
dle of tho bay off Sandy Bend, I
should think It seemed to mo that I
heard a toot In answer to ono of Hart
ley's. Ho heard It, too, I guess, for ho
commenced to blow hard and fast.
'Twan't much uso, for anything that
was to wind'ard of us wouldn't hao
heard a sound. And wo only heard
that one, I judge, as tho noise was
blown past us down tho gale. Wo lis
tened and listened, but no more come.
All at onco wo both yelled. Out
of the muddle of rain and black comes
poking a big jlbboom and a bowsprit.
Next minute a two-master, with only a
jib and reefed fo'sall set, went booming
by us just under our stern, I could
seo a wink of her for'ard lights and n
gllmpso of a feller holding a lantern
by hor rail and staring down at ns.
His face was big-eyed and Beared, I've
wondered slnco how ours looked to
him. All tho rest was black hull and
wavos and roaring. A mackorcl boat
trying to run into Naubecklt harbor, I
gtioss sho was. I cal'lato tho after
noon lull had foolod 'em Into trying.
Wo didn't say nothing. Only Hart
ley looked up at me and grinned. 1
could seo him In tho luntorn light. I
shook my head and grinned back.
All the tlmo I kept thinking to my
self: "Sol Pratt, you old gray-headed
fool, this Is your Until bust of crazt
hoes. You enn't mako It; you know
nforo you Btartod yon couldn't. You'll
bo hv among tho shoals pretty soon
nnd thon you nnd tho Dora Bnssott '11
go to Bintthereens and cart Hint poor
luribccnt city man with you. Ho don't
know that, but you do. And nil on ac
count of a red-headed llttlo toughy
from tho back alleys of Now York, and
a girl that ain't none of your relations.
You deserve what's coming to you."
And yet, oven whllo I was thinking
it, 1 was glad I was making tho try.
Glad for Rodny's sake; particular glnd
on account of whnt It might mean to
Martin nnd Agnes; and glad, too, Just
out of general ciisscdncsH. You neo,
'twas llko a light; and there's a heap
of satisfaction onco in n whllo In a
real old-tnnhloued, knock-down nnd
drag-out, rough-and-tumble tight that
Is, when you'ro lighting for anything
worth tho row.
Tho storm kept on; Boomed ob if
'twould never let tip. And wo kept on,
too, threo reefs In by this tlmo, nnd
tho Jib down. And with every tnck I
cnl'lalod wo was making better head
way towards tho bottom than any
whores else. I couldn't seo nothing to
get my bearings from, nnd hadn't no
Idea where wo was, except tho general
ono that, up to now, nnd by God's
mercy, wo wus afloat.
Then, nt last, thu gnlo begun to go
down. A landsman wouldn't huvo no
ticed tho change, but I did. It stopped
nliilng, and tho wind was casing up.
By and by tho haze broko nnd I caught
a gllmpso of Middle Ground light, al
most abreast of U3. I unbuttoned my
lleskln Jacket and looked nt my wntch.
Half-past two, and only three-quarters
of tho way to Wapatomac. We'd beon
eight hours and a half coming n dis
tance thnt l'vo made over and ovor
again, In thnt very sloop, In less than
three. Hartley caught my sleovc.
"Will wo got there?" ho shouts. His
faco was all shining with tho wet nnd
his hair was too heavy with water
oven to blow In tho wind.
"Don't know," I hollers back.
"We'll try."
Ho nodded. Tho clearing of that
haze had helped me considerable. I
could sight my marks, tho lights, now,
and wo mado faster time.
At last, after what seemed a fort
night moro, como tho llrst streak of
gray daylight. The clouds was break
ing up and It would bo u nice day later
on, I judged. But there wns a living
gaio utlll blowing and tho waves was
running savago over tho shoals ahead.
The channel was narrowing up nnd I
had to watch out eve-y second. I scut
Hartley amidships to tend center
board. Wo beat In through Long Point
reach. Tho life-saving station Is on
tho Point, just abaft tho lighthouse. I
seo tho feller in tho station tower
open tho window and lean out to
watch us. I cal'lato ho wondered
what asylum had turned thnt pair of
lunatics loose.
Past tho Point and now wo como
about for tho run nforo tho wind up
tho nurrows, Wapatomac village was
in plain sight.
"With nny sort of luck," says I,
"wo'll bo nlongsldo tho dock by-quarter-past
flvo. Tho down train lenves
at 25 minutes to eight. You enn thank
your stars, Mr. Hartley."
'Twas a pretty cock-sure thing to
say, and I ought to have known better
than to crow aforo wo was out of the
woods. But we'd como through so far
enough sight bettor than a reasonable
man could expect.
The narrows is a wicked place. Tho
channel Is fairly straight, but scant
width, and on each sldo of It is a
stretch of bars and rips thut aro bad
enough In decent weather. Now they
wob as good nn imitation of as salt
water Tophot as I want to soe. Strip
after strip of breakers, with Jlncs of
blllng, twisting slicks and whirlpools
between. And tho tide tearing
through.
I sent Hartley for'ard to look out for
shoals. Ho had ono kneo on tho edgo
of tho cabin roof and wus climbing up,
when I happened to glnnco astern.
There was nn did "ho" wnvo coming
n regular deep-water grayback.
"Look out!" I yells. "Stand by!"
That wavo hit us llko a houso tum
bling down. I'd braced myself and
was, In u way, ready for It, but Hart
ley wa'n't. Ho was knocked for'ard
on his face. Then, as tho bow Jumped
up, he wns chucked straight back
wards, landing on his shoulders and
loft arm against tho ccnterboard well.
Ho turned a full somerset and his feet
knocked mlno from undor mo. Down
I went and tho tiller was yanked out of
my hands.
Waves llko thct hunt In droves, gen
erally speaking. Tho noxt ono was
right on Bchcdulo tlmo. Up wo went,
nnd sideways llko a railroad train,
Then down, "Bump!" on tho bottom.
Up again, and down. "Thump I
Crunch!"
That tlmo wo struck with all our
heft. Tho Dora Bassett shook all over.
Sho rlz, still shaking, and tho next
wavo throw her clean ovor tho bar.
Wo was in deep water for a mlnuto,
but Just a llttlo ways off was another
lino of breakers. And nstern was the
rudder, broko clean off, and floating
away,
'Twas no tlmo for fooling. Hartley
got to his knees, white, and holding
his left arm with his right hand. I
jumped and cast off tho sheet. Sho
floated then on a more oven keel, Thon
I yankod looso tho oar from Its cleats
alongside tho rail and got it over tho
stern to steer with.
This got hor undor control, and
down tho lane, between them two lines
of breakers, wo went, mo with the
sheet In ono hand, tho oar braced un
dor t'other arm, and tho thrco-reefed
mainsail well out. Tho cockpit was
half full of water.

Some Resomblance.
A little girl In a California public
school complained to her teacher that j
a Mexican boy had HtiucK her. mo
teacher took Joe, tho only Mexican '
boy lu tlio school, shnrply to task for
the offense, but the boy denied It.
"Mary," Bald I he teacher, "Joe says
he didn't strike you." j
"Oh, no," said Mary, " 'twnn't Joe;
twuz that (other hoy over there." nnd
slio pointed to tho blackest of negro
boys In the school.
"But, Mary, that boy Isn't a Moxl.
can," Hald the teacher.
"Well, anyhow," said Mary, "he's
very much tanned."
Took It Personally.
An author engaged a young lady
typewriter to take down his now novel
from dlctntion. At tho passage: "Oh!
my adorable angel, nccept tho confes
sion from my lips that I cimnot exist
without you! Mako mo happy; como
nnd share my lot and bo mlno until
death do us pail!" his fair secretary
paused and Ingenuously lnqulred:""lu
that to go down with the rest?"
