"When I got, home that night my wife pointed a gray air -the first I bad ever had. "My next bad scare came one Sunday when I was captain of another excursion steamer. We were at the pier loading passengerss.

There were two hawsers out to the pier, and the one astern broke. The gangplanks were out, and. it being a very hot day, people were docking aboard. There were at least seventy-tive persons on the two gangplanks when the hawser broke. and the boat commenced to drift from the pier.

With the bow line out the reversing of the bout naturally backed her up against the dock and held her there, but that bow hawser was an old one. and if it broke the boat would back away and dump every one on the gangplanks into the river.

"To me it seemed like an age, but it was really not more than a minute until they had another line out astern and I could stop the engine. That caused several gray hairs.

Wolcott St Hardwick Miss Calliope's Cure The Good Result of a Shock By EUNICE DRAKE Calliope!" murmured Hester Seton as she glanced up at the windows of the Delmore house on the bill. "Lazy Calliope Delmore!" sniffed her mother, panting as her too abundant flesh trudged up the graveled path to the front door.

"Did you ever see such a neglected dooryard in all your "You're her second cousin. ma. Why don't you try. to give her a mite of a piece of your mind--kind of a second cousin's slice?" asked Hester sarcastically. "And have my head bit retorted her mother.

spoke to Calliope fifteen years ago when Carrol Fenton went off and married that city girl. Says 'Cal, for the land's sake don't take to your bed' (she was acting all broken up about the matter): Just turn your face to the world and act like you don't care." "What did she say?" asked Hester curiously. "Say? Says she: 'Emmeline Seton, I'd thank you to mind your own busi ness! When the rheumatiz goes out of my legs I reckon I'll get up and walk with the best of 'em. I ain't a-grieving over Carrol Fenton. I'm suffering with rheumatiz! My advice to you is that if you've got any business of your own to tend to it and let mine So I don't never interfere with Calliope Delmore.

She can lay abed till the judgment day." she don't lay abed much, and you must admit that she's busy as a bee with her fingers from morning till night. She cuts and sells carpet rags; enough to make a living for 'em." "Humph! A woman forty years old ain't no right to be chair rid as I can see. Knock again, Hester, and if Isabel don't come I shall walk right in." Hester rapped loudly and once more pulled the knob of the rusty bell wire. A window sash screeched up, and a woman's voice called musically: "Come in, whoever you be. Isabel ain't to home." Mrs.

Seton and Hester tried the door and. finding it locked, walked around the path to the side entrance. They pushed open the screen door and walk: ed into Calliope Delmore's sitting room. "That you, Emmeline and Hester? How do you do?" Calliope looked up from her sewing and motioned them to comfortable cushioned chairs. "Give your mother that fan.

Hester, and take off her bonnet. Lay aside your own hat, child, and if you'll go to the cellar you'll find some root beer. Isabel made it three days ago, and it's just right now." "How be you, Calliope?" asked Mrs. Seton reluctantly. for she made it a point not to acknowledge that anything was seriously amiss with her second cousin.

She always spoke impatiently to Calliope. just as if she would like to pick her out of the big Boston rocker and send her hurrying around the house in a healthy, normal manner. "Well." said Calliope cheerfully, "it's dreadful hot, ain't it. Em?" "Awful. You must appreciate this call.

It's tuckered me out to climb the bill." said Sirs. Seton, fanning herself vigorously. is the carpet for now. Calliope?" "Lida Soper. She's been saving rags for years for this sitting room carpet." "It's going to be real bright and pretty." nodded Mrs.

Seton over the of root beer that Hester bad brought to her. "Where's Isabel, Calliope?" "Gone riding with Newton Deane," said Calliope hardily. "Newton Deane!" exclaimed Hester jealously. Mrs. Seton blinked rapidly.

"Newton's half nephew to Carrol Fenton. ain't he?" "You ought to know, Em," retorted Calliope dryly, "seeing that you almost married Newton's father." Mrs. Seton bridled as she threw up her large pink bands. "Don't get to talking to Hester about my beaus. Calliope.

The child won't have any respect for ber ma if you tell her what a madcap I was in them days." Hester giggled. "You can't cut up much now. ma," she said wickedly. have DO desire to." said Mrs. Beton primly, suddenly remembering her great bulk.

"We was speaking of Carrol Fenton, Calliope. I was over 1 to Millerton last week, and I saw him. He's grown considerable old looking." to. Don't get any younger with years." rapped out Calliope in the crisp phrases she adopted when remarks became personal. "Some say his wife's death broke him up, and others say it was a bless.

Churches don't pay salaries big enough to give 'em much of a good time. guess Lena Fenton took what fun she could as she went along." Mrs. Seton gasped.

didn't expect sou'd be standing up for Carrol Fenton's wife." she said acidly. Calliope turned a white and resolute face to the other "Why not? I don't owe her any grudge because she mar ried Carrol, Most every girl in Little river was setting a cup for him." Emmeline winced, and her double chin quivered. "There ain't many of 'em gone to bed sick over it." she said batefully, und without waiting for a reply she trembled to her feet and walked to the door. Hester: we got to be wondered what brought Emmeline here." wurmured Calliope, taking up her work again. "Of course after she'd visited in Millerton she bad to come around and see bow I took news of Carrol Fenton.

What tends women can be!" She bit off her thread with her strong white teeth and looked dreamily out of the window and sniffed the spicy fragrance of the cinnamon roses. "Happened right here by the cinnamon roses." she whispered to herself. "I was so happy, and he said he was afraid he bad made a mistake, and gave him back the ring. Seems like all the strength went out of my legs that very minute. I s'pose, coming so soon after mother's long sickness and death, it upset me.

If they all knew how I wanted to stand and walk around and be like other folks. only somehow there's no spring back of it all. Dr. Brown says he can't do a thing, and he talks about will power. I'm a useless mortal.

But, there: Isabel says I ain't and it it wasn't for the she wouldn't have a home!" Calliope smiled through sudden tears. "Looks like she'd soon have a handsome home If she marries Newton. He's a fine fellow: but. Lord forgive me. it does rankle to think my girl should marry Carrol's nephew!" She- leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes.

Her helpless feet rested on a hassock, and across her lap there rippled streams of bright colored carpet rags. From the rosebushes came the deep hum of bees, and the tall tops of the locust trees rustled a pleasant monotone. Suddenly there broke into the sweet harmony of the summer afternoon other sounds--the sharp raps of a horse's hoofs on the hard oyster shell road, a man's voice shouting, then just the pounding hoofs and the rattle of car riage wheels. Calliope leaned forward and looked out of the window. A sorrel horse with four white feet was plunging madly past the house.

Behind him swung a low phaeton containing a man. Just beyond Calliope's front gate the phaeton swayed and caught upon a large rock. The horse tore himself loose from the shafts and disappeared beyond the turn of the road. The phaeton toppled and overturned and pinned the man underneath. It was very silent after that.

It was a lonely road, and from her window on the hill Calliope Delmore could see beyond the turn of the road, and she noticed that the runaway horse had stop ped and turned into an open field to graze. She felt very strange. Her heart was beating tumultuously, and her blood seemed to flow through her veins in 8 sustaining flood that gave strength to her weak body. White lipped, she stared down at the wrecked phaeton and the still form beneath It. That was Carrol Fenton.

She knew the minister's little carriage. but the horse was a strange one to her. Perhaps Carrol was dying down there alone in the road! Who would go for help? If only Isabel was there! The horse might return and trample him. Calliope was afraid of horses. She closed her eyes and prayed for belp.

When she opened them -she smiled oddly and placed her hands on the arms of her chair. She kicked aside the hassock and stood upon her feet. She put out one foot, and It supported her weight. She stood upon the other. Then with sudden energy she picked up the untouched glass of root beer that Hester had poured for her.

staggered across the room to the door and stumbled to the porch and down the steps. Then Calliope Delmore, who had sat in a chair for fifteen years with helpless limbs, ran down the Inclined path to the front gate and gained the road. With the action came renewed life and a sense of buoyancy and youth. Newton Deane and Isabel Delmore, driving slowly home through the golden afternoon, saw Calliope run down the path, and Isabel was so frightened that she hid her face on Newton's shoulder. It was easier to do It because his arm was already around her.

The borse stopped stock still, and they watched Calliope as they might bave witnessed the ghost scene in a play. She darted out of the gate and down the sloping path to the shattered phaeton. Carrol Fenton's eyes were wide open, and his face was white and drawn. The body of the vehicle rested on one of his legs. he gasped when she knelt beside him and held the root beer to his lips.

"I was just coming to see you, dear." he to ask your forgiveness, and you know the rest." be murmured. "Of course I know It." said Calliope, practically not knowing that her eyes were full of tears. "Your coming this way has worked a miracle. I've run every step of the way, and I guess 1 can keep on my feet now. I s'pose I ought to be mad at you.
