In Which Keziah Hears Two Pro­ posals and the Beginning of a Third. Tlmnet in a fog; a fog blown In during the night jby the wind from the "#ide Atlantic So wet and heavy that one might taste the salt In It. So thick that houses along the main road were but dim shapes behind its gray drapery, and only the gates and fences i of the front yards were plainly in evi­ dence to the passers-by. The beach plum and bayberry bushes on the dunes were spangled with beady drops. The pole on Cannon Hill, where the beacon was hoisted when the packet from Boston dropped anchor in the bay, was shiny and slippery. The new weathervane, a gilded whale, present­ ed to the "Regular" church by Captain Zebediah Mayo, retired whaler, swam In a sea of cloud. The lichened eaves of the little "Come-Outer" chapel dripped at sedate Intervals. The brick walk leading to the door of Captain Elkanah Daniels's fine residence held undignified puddles in Its hollows. And, through the damp stillness, the muttered growl of the surf, three miles away at the foot of the sandy bluffs by the lighthouse, sounded omi­ nously. Directly opposite Captain Elkanah's front gate, on the other side of the main road, stood the little story-and- a-half house, also the captain's prop­ erty, which for fourteen years had been tenanted by Mrs. Keziah Coffin and ber brother, Solomon Hall, the shoemaker. But Solomon had, the month before, given up his fight with debt and illness and was sleeping qui­ etly down In Trumet's most populous center, the graveyard. And Keziah, left alone, had decided that the rent and living expenses were more than her precarious earnings as a seam­ stress would warrant, and, having bar­ gained with the furniture dealer in Wellmouth for the sale of her house­ hold effects, was now busy getting them ready for the morrn"- when the dealer's wagon was to call. She was going to Boston, where a distant and condescending rich relative had in­ terested himself to the extent of find­ ing her a place as sewing woman in a large tailoring establishment. The fog hung like a wet blanket otw the house and its small yard, where a few venerable pear trees, too conservative in their old age to ven­ ture a bud even though it was almost May, stood bare and forlorn. The day was dismal. The dismantled dining room, its tables and chairs pushed Into a corner, and its faded ingrain carpet partially stripped from the floor, was dismal, likewise. Considering all things, one might have expected Ke­ ziah herself to be even more dismal Bat, to all. outward appearances, she was not. A 1 arge portion of her .thirty-nine years of life had been passed under a blanket, so to speak, and she had not permitted the depressing covering to shut out more sunshine than was absolutely neces- •sry. "If you can't get cream, you might as well learn to love your sas- ser of skim milk," said practical Ke- siah. She was on her kneeB, her calico dress sleeves, patched and darned, but absolutely clean, rolled back, uncover­ ing a pair of plump, strong arms, a saucer of tacks before her, and a tack hammer with a claw head In her hand, flhe was taking up the carpet. Grace Van Horne, Captain Eben Hammond's ward, who had called to see if there was anything she might do to help, was removing towels, tablecloths, and the like from the drawers in a tall high-boy, folding them and placing them in an old and battered trunk. The pair had been discussing the sub­ ject which all Trumet had discussed for three weeks, namely, the "calling" the pastorate of the "Regular" to let the Cliinymen clinch 'em on t'other side. I haul up a chunk of the cellar floor with every one. Ah, hum!" with a sigh, "I cal'late they ain't any more j anxious to leave home than 1 am. But, far's tHe minister's concerned, didn't I hear of your Uncle Eben sayin' in prayor meetiu' only a fortni't or so ago that all hands who wa'n't Come- Outers were own children to Satan? Mr. Ellery must take after his father some Surprisin', ain't it, what a fam­ ily the Gld critter's got." The girl laughed again. For one brought up, since her seventh year, m the strictest of Come-Outer families, she laughed a good deal. Many Come- Outers considered it wicked to laugh. Yet Grace did it, and hers was a laugh pleasant to hear and distinctly pleas­ ant to see. "Aunt Keziah," she said, "why do you go away? What makes you? Is it absolutely necessary?" "Why do I go? Why, for the same reason that the feller that was hove overboard left the ship--cause I can't stay." "I don't care!" The girl's dark eyes flashed indignantly. "I think it's too bad of Cap'n Elkanah to turn you cut when--" "Don't talk that way. He ain't turn- in' me out. He ain't lettin' houses for his health and he'll need the money to buy his daughter's summed rigs She ain't had a new dress for a month, pretty near, and here's a young and good-lookin' parson heavin' in sight Maybe Cap'n Elkanah would think a minister was high-toned enough even for Annabel to marry." "He's only twenty-three, they say," remarked Grace, a trifle maliciously. "Perhaps she'll adopt him." Annabel was the only child of Cap­ tain Elkanah Danieds, who owned the finest house In town. She was the belle of Trumet, and had been for a good many years. Grace smiled, but quickly grew grave. "Now, Auntie," she said, "please listen. I'm in earnest. It seems to me ttfat you might do quite well at dressmaking here in town, if you had a little--well, ready money to help you at the start. I've got a few hundred dollars in the bank, presents from uncle, and my father's insurance money. I should love to lend it to you, and I know uncle would--" Mrs. Coffin Interrupted her. "Cat's foot!" she exclaimed. "I hope I haven t got where I need to borrow money yet a while. Thank you Just as much, deary, but long's I've got two hands and a mouth, I'll make the two keep t'other reasonably full, I wouldn't wonder. No, I shan't think of it, so don't say another word. No." The negative was so decided that Grace was silenced. Her disappoint­ ment showed In her faoe, however, and Keziah hastened to change the sub­ ject. "How do you know," she observed, "but what my goin' to Boston may be the best thing that ever happened to me? You can't tell. No use despair- in', Annabel ain't given up hope yet; why should I? Hey? Ain't that some­ body comin'?" Her companion Sprang to her feet and ran to the window. Then she broke into a smothered laugh. "Why, it's Kyan Pepper!" she ex­ claimed. "He must be coming to see you, Aunt Keziah. And he's got on his very best Sunday clothes. Gra­ cious 1 I must be going. I didn't know you expected callers." Keziah dropped the tack hammer and stood up. "Kyan!" she repeated. "What in the world is that old idiot comin' here m - \ W' î A -P< • WJ, church of the Rev. John Ellery, the young divinity student, who was to take the place of old Parson Langley, minister in the parish for over thirty years. Discussion in the village had now reached a critical point, for the Reverend John was expected by al most any ' mch. In those days the days of the late fifties, the railroad down the Cape extended only as far as Sandwich; passengers made the rest of their Journey by stage. Many came direct from the city by the packet, the little schooner, but Mr Ellery had written that he should probably come on the coach. "They say he's very nice-looking," remarked M' Van Home soberly, but With a mischievous glance under her dark lashes at Keziah. The lady ad­ dressed paused long enough to trans­ fer several tacks from the floor to the saucer, and mad© answer "Humph!" she observed. "A good many years ago I saw a theater show pp to Boston. Don't be shocked- those circumstances we hear so much tell of--the kind you can't control- have kept me from goin' to theaters much, even if I wanted to. But I did see this entertainment, and a fool one too, all slngin' instead of talkin' --opera, I believe they called It. Well as I started to say, one of the leadln' folks In it was the Old Harry himself »nd he was pretty good-lookin'." Qrace laughed, even though she had be*o somewhat shocked. **Why, Aunt Keziah!" she exclaimed --those who knew Keziah Coffiu best usually called her aunt, though real aephews ajnd nieces she had none-- **why, Aunt Keziah! What do you mean by comparing the--the person you Just mentioned with a minister!" "Oh, I wasn't comparin' 'em; m leave that for you Gome-Outers to do Drat this carpet! Seems's if I never aaw such long tacks; I do believe who­ ever put 'em down drove "em clean . ttUOugb the center the earth and m She Brok« Into a LMuyh. for? To talk about the minister, I s'pose. How on earth did Laviny ever come to let him out alone?" Mr. Pepper, Mr. Abishai Pepper, lo­ cally called "Kyan" (Cayenne) Pepper because of his red hair and thin red side whiskers, was one of Trumet's "characters," and in his case the character was weak. He was bom in the village and, when a yougster, had, like every other boy of good family in the community, cherished ambitions for a seafaring life. His sister; Lar vlnia, ten years older than he, who, after the death of their parents, had undertaken the Job of "bringing up" her brother, did not sympathize with these ambitions. Consequently, when Kyan ran away she followed him to Boston, stalked aboard the vessel where he had shipped, and collared him, literally and figuratively. One of the mates venturing to offer objec­ tion, Lavlnia turned upon him and gave him a piece of her mind, to the immense delight of the crew and the loungers on the wharf. Then she re­ turned with the vagrant to Trumet. That was --yan's sole venture, so far ^jka sailoring was concerned, but he ran away ag&ln when he was twenty- five. This time he returned of his own accord, bringing a wife with him, one Evelyn Gott of Ostable. Evelyn could talk a bit herself, and her first interview with Lavtnia ended with the latter's leaving the house In a rage, bwearing never to set foot In It again This path she broke the day of her sister-in-law's funeral. Then she ap­ peared, after the ceremony, her bag­ gage on the wagon with her. The be­ reaved one, who was sitting on the front stoop of his dwelling with, so people say, a most resigned expression on his meek countenance, looked up and saw her. "My land! Laviny," he exclaimed, ttirning pale. "Where'd you come from ?" "Never mind where I come from," observed his sister promptly. "You just be thankful I've come. If ever a body needed some one to take care of 'em, it's you. You can tote my things right in," she added, turning to her grinning driver, "and you, 'Risliy, go right In with 'em. The idea of your settin' outside takin' H easy when your poor wife ain't been buried j more'n an hour!" "But--but--Laviny," protested poor Kyan, speaking the truth unwittingly. "I couldn't take It easy afore she was burled, could 1?" "Go right in," was the answer. "March!" AMshai marched, and had marched under his sister's orders ever since. She lwpt house for him, and did it well, but her one fear was that some female might again capture him, and she watched him with an eagle eye He was thfc town assessor and tax col­ lector, but when he visited dwellings containing single women or widows, Lavinia always accompanied him, "to help him in his figgerin'," she said. Consequently, when he appeared, un- chaperoned, on the walk leading to the side door of the Coffin homestead, Keziah and her friend were surprised. "He's dressed to kill," whispered Grace, at the window. "Even his tall hat; and in this fog! I do believe he's coming courting. Aunt Keziah^--' Mr. Pepper entered diffidently. "I--I--" he began.. "Well, the fact is, I came out by myself. You see. Laviny's gone up to Sarah B.'s to talk church doin's. I--I--well, I kind of wanted to speak with you about some- thin', Keziah, so-- Oh! I didn't see you, Grade. Good mornin'." He didn't seem overjoyed to see Miss Van Home, as it was. In fact, he reddened perceptibly and backed toward the door. The girl, her «eyes twinkling, took up her jacket and hat. "Ob! I'm not going to stop, Mr. Pepper," she said. "I was only help­ ing Aunt Keziah a little, that's all. I must run on now." "Run on--nonsense!" declared Ke­ ziah decisively. "You're goin' to stay right here and help us get that stove­ pipe down. And 'Bishy'll help, too. Won't you, 'Bish?" The stovepipe was attached to the "air-tight" in the dining room. It-- the pipe--rose perpendicularly for a few feet and then extended horizon­ tally, over the high-boy, until It en­ tered the wall. Kyan looked at It and then at his "Sunday clothes." "Why, I'd be glad to, of course," he declared with dubious enthusiasm. "But I don't know's I'll have time. Per­ haps I'd better come later and do it. Laviny. she--" "Oh, Laviny can spare you for a few minutes, I guess; 'specially as she don't know you're out. Better take your coat off, hadn't you? Grace, fetch one of those chairs for Ky--for Blshy to stand on." Grace obediently brought the chair It happened to be the one with a rickety leg, but Its owner was help­ ing the reluctant Abisbal remove the long-tailed blue coat which had been his wedding garment and had adorned his person on occasions of ceremony ever since. She did not notice the clrair. » "It's real good of you to ofTer to help," she said. "Grace and I didn't hardly dast to try It alone. That pipe's been up so long that I wouldn't won­ der if 'twas chock-full of soot. If you're careful, though, I don't believe you'll get any on you. Never mind the floor; I'm goin' to wash that before I leave." Reluctantly, slowly> the unwilling Mr. Pepper suffered hlinself to be led to the chair. He mounted it and Igln- gerly took hold of the pipe. "Better loosen It at the stove hole first," advised Keziah. "What was It you wanted to see me about, 'Bish?" "Oh nothin', nothin'," was the hasty response. "Nothin' of any account-- that Is to say--" He turned redder than ever and wrenched at the pipe. It loosened at its lower end and the wires holding it in suspension shook., "I guess," observed the lady of the house, "that you'd better move that chest of drawers out so's you can get behind it Grace, you help me. There! that's better. Now move your chair." Kyan stepped from the chair and moved the latter to a position between the high-boy and the wall. Then he remourted and gripped the pipe in the mldd'.e of its horizontal section. "Don't be in such a hurry," inter­ rupted Koniah. "Does stick in the chim­ ney, don't It? Tell you what you can do, Grace; you can go In the woodshed and fetch the hammer that's In the tab'.e drawer. Hurry up, that's a good girl." Kvan protested that he did not need the hammer, but his protest was un­ heeded. With one more glance at the couple, Grace departed from the kitch­ en, biting her lips. She shut the door carefully behind her. M*\ Pepper la­ bored frantically with the pipe. "No use to shake It any more till you get the hammer," advised Keziah. "Might's well talk while you're waitinT What waB It you wanted to tell me?" "Keziah, yott're a single woman." His companion let go of the chair, which she had been holding In place, and stepped back. "He is loony!" she exclaimed under her breath. "I--" \ "No, no! I ain't loony. I want to make a proposal to you. I want to see if you won't marry me. I'm sick of Lavinf. Let's you and me settle down book in her bureau, but yW «**«ld get it from her. I own my house. !*•» a man of good character. You're poor,., but I don't let that stand in the way Anyhow, you're a first-rate housekeep­ er. And I really do think an awful tot of you." Mrs. Coffin stepped no farther in the direction of thorkitchen. Instead, she strode toward the rickety chair and Its occupant. Ryan grasped the pipe with both hands. "You poor--miserable;--impudent--" began the lady: "Why, Keziah, don't yon want tof He spoke as if ftie pawflblllty of a re­ fusal had never entered his mind. "I cal'lated you'd be glad. You wouldn't have to go away then, nop-- My soul and body! some one's knockin' at the door! And this dumnied pipe's fetched loose!" The last sentence was a smothered shriek. Keziah heeded not. Neither did she heed the knock at the door. Her hands were' opening and closing convulsively. "Be glad!" she repeated. "Glad to marry a good-for-nothin' sand-peep like ENGINEER'S FATAL MOTORCYCLE "Get Down Of» That Chairl" you! You sassy-- Get down off that chair and out of this house' Get down this minute!' "I can't! Ttls stovepipes loose, I tell you. Be renson'ble, Keziah. Do-- don't you touch me! I'll fall If you do. Pl-e-as-e, Keziah!-- O Lordy! I knew It. Laviny!" The door opener}. On the threshold, arms akimbo and lips set tight, stood Lavinia Pepper. Her brother's knees gave way; in tlie<r collapse they struck the chair back; the rickety leg wabbled. Kyan grasped at the pipe to save himself and, the next moment, chair, sections of stovepipe, and Mr Pepper disappeared with a mighty crash behind the high-boy. A cloud of soot arose and obscured the view. Keziah, too indignant even to laugh, glared at the wreck. In the doorway of the kitchen Grace Van Home, ham­ mer In hand, leaned against the Jamb, her handkerchief at her mouth and- tears in her eyes. Lavinia, majestic and rigid, dominated the Bcene. Prom behind the high-boy came coughs, sneezes and emphatic ejaculations. Miss Pepper was the first to speak "Abishai Pepper," she Commanded, "come out of that this minute." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Conflict With 8elf. Let no enemy from without be fear­ ed; conquer thine own self and the whole world Is conquered. What can any temper from without, whether the devil or the devil's minister, do against thee? Whosoever sets the hope of gain before thee to seduce thee; let him find no covetousness In thee; and what can he who would tempt thee by gain effect? Whereas, If covetousness be found in thee, thou takest fire at the sight of gain, and art taken by the bait of this corrupt food. But if we find no covetousness in thee, the trap remains spread In vain. Thou dost not see the devil, but the object that engageth thee thou dost see.

The history of the development of pipes la> fascinating and forms an im­ portant part in the history of censers. flfYs believed that the pipe ante-datea the use of narcotic herbs, such as to­ bacco, although the importance of smoke appears to have been chiefly, 11 not wholly, due to Its supposed medi­ cal properties. The offering of in­ cense made by the Aztecs to the Spanish conquerors resembles in many respects the familiar peace pipe customs of the American Indians, and the pipes themselves are similar to those found everywhere between southern Mexico and Canada. The custom of smoking probably did not originate through the enjoyment ol the taste of the smoke, but arose In connection with the development of the fire cult In which it had a sacred significance.

New York.--Christopher Benedict, engineer of the yacht Hoigrass, an­ chored off the Columbia Yacht club at the foot of West Eighty-sixth street, acquired a new motorcycle the other morning, and In the afternoon an* nounced to his mates that he was go­ ing ashore for a ride. , "Going to desert the feea, Chris?** Benedict was asked as he lifted bla pew machine into a small boat. **No; but I'm going-to break some records," replied the engineer. 4 To see Benedict start off several of the crew went ashore with him He admitted that he knew little about op­ erating the machine, but added; "I'm some machinist though." Benedict mounted his wheel and started north. He had not gone a block before it was running away. He was going a fifty mile pace before ha had made tWo blocks, and he could not slow down. The drive was crowded. He guided his way past automobiles and horse- • U r j | He Could Not Slow Down. drawn vehicles and persons on the sidewalks drew back as the motor­ cycle whizzed past. The engineer was becoming fright­ ened. He yelled as he approached crossings, warning persons to get out of his way. At Ninety-seventh street Benedict decided to jump for it, and he raised his feet from Jthe rests and let go the handle bars. The motorcycle bounded over the sidewalk, tore down seven feet of brass railing around the Victoria apartment house at the corner of Ninety-seventh street and dropped down into the areaway, seven feet be­ low the sidewalk. Benedict followed the machine. In his fall into the areaway hn thrust his arm through a basement window and then dropped unconscious. A crowd gathered and a call was sent to J. Hood Wright hospital for an ambulance, but before it arrived a passing automobile took the uncon­ scious engineer to the Red Cross hos­ pital at 110th street and Central Park West. There he was turned over to Dr. Malcolm Munkitrlck, who found that his skull was crushed at the base and he had broken ribs and Internal injuries. Two hours after he was ad­ mitted to the hospital Benedict died. "Human Ostrich" Operated On and Knives, Nails, Keys and Pieces of Iron Removed. Pittsfleld, Mass.--Luke Parsons, the "human ostrich," who was in training for his annual Thanksgiving feast of Jack knives and spikes, for which he has a special fondness, was operated on at the house of Mercy hospital the other night and 132 nails, two keys, six knives and a piece of iron were re­ moved from his stomach and intes­ tines. 4 Dr. W. C. Wilder, the hospital phy­ sician, assisted by Dr. I. S. F. Dodd, performed the operation. The nails had punctured the abdomen and peri­ tonitis resulted, which led Parsons to apply for admission to the hospital on his statement that "my digestion is out of order." While he was working as a carpen­ ter, ten years ago Parsons accidentally swallowed some shingle nails. The diet gave him no trouble and he took to training with nails as a regular menu, and adding Jack knives and pieces of tii^ with button hooks as a salad and keys for dessert "I am fueling pretty hungry this afternoon,*7 he said one day, and to satisfy his hunger he swallowed a gross of dollar buttons. Parsonis told his surgeons he ha<| eaten no "solid" nourishment In Iron or steel since last Thanksgiving. He Is forty years old. Robbers In Cemetery. Port Collins, Colo.--C. E. Moore, a barber, was held up in the cemetery here the other night. The fright he received has sent Moore to bed, and under a physician's care. While hastening to his home west of the city he took a short cut through the graveyard and was sur­ prised when two men Jumped from behind a tombstone, ordering him to throw up his hands. In addition to his barber trade Moore maintains a small ranch and had Just sold several hogs, which netted him $41. This money, a gold watch and a pipe were taken by the highwaymen. Tickled a "Cop."

SLOANS LINIMENT A FRIEND'S ADVICE Something Worth Listening To. A young Nebr. man was advised by a friend to eat Grape-Nuts because he was all run down from a spell of fever. He tells the story: "Last spring I had an attack of fe­ ver that left me in a very weak con­ dition. I had to quit work; had no appetite, was nervous and discour­ aged. "A friend advised me to eat Grape- Nuts, but I paid no attention to him and kept getting worse as time went by. 1 took many kinds of medicine but none of them seemed to help me. My system was completely run down, my blood got. out of order from want of proper food, and several very large bolls broke out on my neck. I was so weak I could hardly walk. "One day mother ordered some Grape-NntB and induced me to eat some. I felt better and that night rested fine. As I continued to use the food every day, I grew stronger stead­ ily and now have regained my former good health. I would not be without Grape-Nuts, as I believe it is the most health-giving food in the world." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. k Read the book, "The Road to Well- ville," in pkgs.
