Nance STRNGY O IAS AT | The Jackson & Wilson (; HOME FROM A VOYAGE By WILTON G. BROOKS Copyright by American Press Asso- ciation, 1911 i 1 courted Nance while 1 was goin’ to | sex, and a man courtin’ a gal that way feels every time b~ comes back from " a cruise that some feller bas stepped in and carried her off, but Nance was as much set on me as 1 was on her, and every time I docked on a home- | comin’ she was standin’ at the door of her father’s cottage wavin’ to me. After we was married and we got . into our own house around the point AT ALL TIMES Strong in supplying the needs upg wants of customers. o But their LONG suit is in Orang rounded it to make the harbor, there was Nance a-wavin’ to me. But one time comin’ iff from a cruise when 1 rounded the point Nance wasn't there to wave to me. My heart sank down into my boots, for she could ‘a’ seen me miles out, and she knew the cut of my jib and the lurch of my ship as well as she knew her own mother. Nance and I had been married five years without gettin’ a kid. It was the only disappointment we bad. Nance said and 1 knew that if she bad a little one to keep her company when I was at sea she wouldn't be 8o lonesome. But the kid didn’t come, and we began to feel that we was doomed to be one o' them couples that go through life makin’ a baby out of a dog or a cat or some other animal. But the day 1 got back and Nance wasn't at the door to wave to me 1 wasn't thinkin' about what I couldn't git, but what 1 feared I'd lost. The moment we touched the dock T turned the ship over to the first mate and steered a direct course to my house. When 1 got there I found the door unlocked. This relleved me some- what, for it my wife had died while | wns at sea the house would 'a’ been closed up. 1 went in, my heart beat- o' with a hope o' seein’ Naace either fn the livin' room sewin’ or in the kitchen or somewhere dywnstairs. But she was not there, and 1 made a dash upstairs for her bedroom. The door to that 1 found locked. I knock- ed, but got no answer. I could hear voices inside talkin' low, but mobody sald anything to me. I hollered out: «] want to know if my wife is dea: or alive!” Then a woman's voice, strange to me, said: “She's very much alive, but hasn't been well for a few days. She's all right. She saw the ship come in from her window.” “Well, why the dickens can't I come in and give her a hug?" “It wouldn't do for you to come in just now. I can't explain why, but when we're ready for you we'll let you know.” 2 ’ “All right. I'm wanted at the ship. I'll go there and come back in a cou- ple o' hours.” As 1 was goin' down the stairs 1 heard the funniest sound comin' from | the room I ever heard. At first it re- | minded me of a distant foghorn, so | far away that a man would have to | steain his ears to hear it. Then 1 thought if wasn't like a foghorn nef- ther. It was more like some one try- | fn’ to talk with a sore throat. [ didn't like the idea o' leavin' everything to | my mate on just gettin’ into port, so | I didn’t stop to make any more in- quiries. 1 just went on across the point toward the dock. : Reachin’ a high bit of land, I turned to take a look at the house I had left. ! kind a wonderin’, and if T didn’t see a man comin’ out o' the front door I'll be jiggered! ‘What did it mean? Here was 1 kept out o' my wife's bed- room and a man in the house. A hor- rible suspicion took possession of me. But with a gasp I got back my conf- dence in Nance, and then I remember- od that the voice in the room with her was a woman's. So I just went right on to the ship.
