Then he started crawling towards the sumachs. As he reached them Billy poked his head from the bushes, a grin on his face.,Billy put the basket down again. "Say, what did she want with all that hoarhound candy?" he asked curiously.，"I've heard," said Mr. Johnston. "His was a brave and commendable act."，CHAPTER VI THE LETTER，The monotonous and commonplace demands of everyday life on board ship as well as on shore will enter into the most exalted and uncommon forms of romance at sea. Whether Lucy Acton was mad, or whether she was merely acting a part, it was as certain she must be fed as though she was a vulgar, homely, steerage passenger with nothing more poetic and soul-lifting in her life than the faded portrait of the milkman who wooed and then jilted her.Somewhere behind him Billy heard a giggle, which was immediately suppressed as he turned and looked over his shoulder.

"Ma's got the light burnin' an' the strap waitin' fer her little boy," chaffed Billy as they put up the barn-yard bars.,"Aw, say, Bill," protested Maurice, "I'm tired an' wet as a water-logged plank. Let her go. I'll tell Dad, an' he kin come after her tomorrow.",The Admiral might have been observed to be calculating by the movement of his lips.

"I may take it that you're going to the ship[Pg 134] which I am pleased to hear Captain Acton has given you the command of.","He didn't shoot, then!" cried the Admiral.,"Maurice's sick," he shouted in the deaf woman's ear.,"No, sir," she answered.

I am going to the Harbour—I am going for a little walk.",Billy was still thinking of the only girl when he topped the farther ridge and descended into the valley where stood the haunted grove. He wondered what she would say when he told her the great news he had to tell her. He thought he knew. She would put her hand on his arm and say: "Billy, I'm glad." Well, he was on his way to hear her say it. As he entered a clump of cedars he saw her. She wore a cloak of crimson; her hat had slipped to her shoulders and her hair glowed softly through the shadowy half lights. She stood beside old man Scroggie's grave, a great bunch of golden-rod in her arms.,She was looking away across the forest to a strip of fleecy cloud drifting across the deep azure of the sky.,"Croaker, good old Croaker, come down and I'll get you a cookie," Erie begged.,"Comin', Ma," responded Anse, sleepily.,"Come Croaker," pleaded Maurice again. But the crow was obdurate. It is barely possible that he failed to recognize Maurice owing to the sick boy's altered looks or perhaps he expected a glimpse of the reward which was always his for the performing of a service. With one backward look from his bright eyes, he spread his short wings and sailed across to Mrs. Keeler, settling on her shoulder with a harsh croak, whereat that greatly-startled lady sat down on the gravel, her lap full of dirty water and potatoes..
