"One morning something over a year ago a queer little man came to my office. He told me his name, Scroggie, but refused to give me any address. He said he wished to make his will and insisted that I draw it up. It was a simple will, as I remember it, merely stating that 'I something-or-other, Scroggie, hereby bequeath all my belongings, including land and money, to Frank Stanhope.' I made it out exactly as he worded it, had it sealed and witnessed and handed it to him. But the old fellow refused to take it. I asked him why, and he said: 'You keep it safe until I send for it. I'm willin' to pay for your trouble.' The driver cracked his whip and the load went on, swaying and creaking as it left the soft sand for the corduroy. "If all thought like you, aunt," said Lucy, "we should get no captains at all for our ships, and how delighted the French would be to learn that our men-of-war could not leave port because captains were not to be got.".

"But why should she lay her egg in the cedar bird's nest; hasn't she a nest of her own?" asked Lou. "Oh Willium," she cried, "my heart is breakin'. Oh to think how I misjedged him!" Whether Lucy would have replied to this cannot be known, for just then the hand stationed aloft sung out: "Sail ho!" CHAPTER XXIII MR. HINTER PROVES A PUZZLE.
