At the earnest solicitation of her loy-
er Hetty rose and, making her way
slowly through the crowded council
room, reached the witness bench, where
she stood, oblivious to all the curious
glances cast in her direction, regarding
Margaret’s drooping figure with an
expression in her dark eyes of mourn-
‘ful sympathy. Sharply rebuked for
her inattention by the chief councilor,
Hetty was instructed to be seated, and
the young attorney took his place be-
fore her.
“Henrietta Taunston,” he commenced,
with great seriousness, “thou hast been
herein summoned as a witness against
this woman Margaret Mayland on the
representations of thy family that thou
didst on several occasions come under
the baleful influence of her spell. Hast
thou aught to say?’
“Oh, sir,” Hetty faltered tearfully in
trembling tones, “although the evi-
dence is awful an’ convincing, I can-
not bring myself to think ill of Mar-
garet, who was ever most kind to me.
I can think of her only as my father's
sister's child—now both dead—alone
among her accusers, forsaken in her
hour of trouble by the man she loved—
ah, how nearly, only one close to her,
as I ha’ been, could give thee under-
standing of it.”
She began to sob bitterly.
“Have pity on her. If she hath done
aught of wrong ’tis of the cross she
Wweareth, on account of a promise, good
councilmen, given her by a dying
papist, mayhap with a dying curse
breathed on it. Entreat her to destroy
it and let her go away,” she cried
piteously.
Her brother's face was black as
night, and he sat well forward on his
seat, glaring at Hetty savagely as if
he could strike her words back into
her throat. His mother, seeing his
agitation, plucked the sleeye of the at-
torney who stood near her and whis-
pered some instructions in his ear.
When she finished he stepped forward
sternly, with uplifted hand.
“Enough, Henrietta Taunston! ’Tis
not thy place to plead for the prisoner,
but to give what evidence thou hast.”
“Good sir, as I have promised to
tell the truth before God,” Hetty sob-
bed, not daring to look toward her
mother or brother, “I have never felt
any influences of the evil spells at-
tributed to her, but rather have I re-
ceived much kindness from sweet Mar-
garet.”
“Didst thou not one evening meet
this woman—the accused—on the road
and pass her by with averted face in
obedience to thy mother’s command %”
“I did, sir.” :
“And did she not in her anger stand
rigid, fixing her baleful glance upon
thee so that thou didst run with all haste
to thy home, falling in a fit on the floor
at thy brother’s feet, where thou didst
lie like a creature possessed by the
devil, foaming at the mouth and mov-
ing convulsively ?”
In her excitement Hetty almost rose
from her seat.
“Nay, sir, nay,” she cried earnestly.
‘Thou hath a wrong impression obtain-
«ed from evil tongues. ’Tis true that
I met Margaret, but her glance was
not baleful, but, oh, sirs,” lifting her
tearful, supplicati g face toward the
L a) Wotwas so sad that my heart
nath not stopped aching slii¢é with the
memory of it! An’ believe that twas
not our meeting that caused my swoon-
ing, but the news brought”—
Here Josiah Taunston, unable to con-
trol himself any longer, rose from his
seat, white faced and wrathful.
“I do proclaim the witness now to
be under the spell of the prisoner,” he
cried in a loud voice hastily in his de-
sire to stop her further utterances,
“who was ever wont to influence my
sister easily, and do affirm that she is
not responsible for what testimony she
giveth.” TETRA
Immediately there was a great up-
roar and wild excitement in the coun:
cil hall. Hetty, frightened at her
brother's violence and bewildered by.
the confusion, rose from her seat, and,
while the attorney consulted with the
councilmen and Josiah Taunston on
the advisability of questioning her fur-
ther, the witness, regardless of conse-
quences, made her way hastily to Si-
mon Kempster and, sinking into her
place by his side, laid her face against
hig coat sleeve, sobbing bitterly.
The gaping auditors eyed her curi-
ously, entertaining themselves with
coarse comments on her evident fond-
ness for her lover and sneers for her
sorrow at the prisoner's predicament.
Suddenly there was a loud rapping for
order. The council, having decided not
to recall Hetty, made the fact known,
and when all again was quiet the Wid-
ow Dawson, whose child had died of
convulsions, was on the witness bench
giving an account of that night's ex-
periences. sa
Time and the constant repetition of
this story to the credulous, awe struck
people of the community had caused it
to lose none of its interest,'so that the
tale the woman related in a low, dis-
tinet voice was supernatural in the ex-
treme and grewsome in its horrible de-
tails. The superstitious listeners, eager-
ly drinking in every word the widow
uttered, expressed their sympathy for
her and their fear and detestation of
the prisoner, who continued through it
all to sit sllently with bowed head and
clasped hands, by giving vent to louder

vengeance.
Other accusers followed, each with a
tale of some harm having befallen her
after passing or coming in contact with
the young mistress of Mayland farm,
80 that the afternoon was wearing to
a close when the last and most impor-
tant witness, old Adam Browdie, the
goldsmith, was called to give his testi-
mony. The old man, whose grief at the
loss of Christopher was deep and sin-
cere and who honestly attributed the
lad’s tragic death to the supernatural
powers of Margaret Mayland, contain-
ed in the “accurst cross of gold,” told
his story minutely, giving every detail
from the moment the cross was brought
to his little cabin to the end, with
streaming eyes and quavering voice,
growing stern and tragical as he de-
scribed the storm, weeping tears of ag-
ony as he told of the finding of the
body; then, suddenly’ winding up his
long and terrible tale, he fell on his
knees and, raising his arms to hegven,
called God’s vengeance on the prisoner.
As he was led, trembling and ex.
hausted, to his seat loud talking was
heard in the audience, those assembled
glaring at the pale faced prisoner with
hatred in their eyes. The chief coun-
cilor rapping for order, a silence fell
upon the crowded room that lasted,
with an occasional interruption, for a
long half hour while the tribunal delib-
erated.
At last the chief councilor rose and,
walking with solemn majesty to the
railing that separated the council from
the audience, addressed the prisoner:
“Margaret Mayland, rise.”
With a little fluttering sigh Margaret
rose and, raising her eyes, looked into
his stern, hard face steadily.
“Woman,” he said, “although thou
hast denied guilt of the wicked crimes
attributed to thee, I do announce that,
after a patient hearing of all the awful
happenings that have occurred in this
hitherto peaceful and God loving com-
munity since thine advent here and
after having accorded thee a legal trial
of much fairness, this tribunal doth
find the charges true and doth pro-
nounce thee guilty of the blackest
crime on the calendar, allegiance to the
devil and rebellion against God. There-
fore, Margaret Mayland, even as our
Lord hath commanded that the wicked
spirits of sinners be burned perpetually
after death, so do I, by the king ap-
“Margaret Mayland, rise.”
pointed to sit in judgment of evil doers,
with humble prayers for guidance to
order wisely, command that at such
time as this council now assembled
shall designate, thy body, containing
this black and evil spirit, also the ac-
curst cross that thou doth in thy per-
verse wickedness persist in wearing
on thy bosom, be burned at a stake by
the scourge of fire!” + :
There was a breathless silence in the
room while the chief councilor was
‘speaking, the assemblage sitting, white
faced and trembling, looking at judge
and prisoner. ’
“Prisoner, hath thou aught to say—
any reasons to urge why this sentence
should not be pronounced upon thee?’
. The fair young mistréss of the May-
land farm; who but a week before was
80 beloved and loving, winsome and
happy, now stood alone, broken heart-
ed, forsaken, a mourning figure in her
gown of black, looking at the cold, un-
sympathetic faces of her accusers with
sad, appealing eyes.
- “Good sirs,” she answered slowly,
with gentle, impressive solemnity, “an
thou would confer a favor on a friend-
less maid whose every living hour doth
bring her naught but keenest suffering,
thou would set her death day speedily.”
3 CHAPTER XXVI.
HE mist of the morning had lift.
© ed somewhat, .and the light
drizzle had grown to a steady
r . downpour of rain when, the
trial over and the prisoher led back to
her cell, the crowd of people in the as-
sembly room began to file slowly out
of tiiz' door, and so great was the in-
terest and excitement that, despite the
dampness of the weather, they stood
about the prison in groups, discussing
eagerly the scenes they had just wit-
ness
~ “The councilor made short shrift of
ber, good gossip,” one man said to an-
other as they turned their faces to-
ward home and trudged heavily along
the muddy roadway. “Elder Williams

methought he'd give the witch at least
a fortnight to make her peace wi’ God
an’ to renounce the devil that hath tak-

But on the sixth day, three hours after
"Tis quick work, man, as I
say, but happen the council hath wise
reasons for setting an early time that

“Prithee, she hath repented!” his com-
panion cried eagerly. “Didst thou not
hear the wench say that every living
hour was bitter anguish to her?”
He shook his head gloomily. «
“I doubt not but poor Christopher's
body, bruised an’ bleeding on the
rocks, is before her vision constantly,
not to mention the Widow Dawson's
infant, distorted in dying convul-
sions. Marry, methinks the councilor
did his duty fairly. The prisoner ask-
ed for an early day, an’ he, knowing
of no good use she could be to any liv-
ing person, did but grant her request.”
The other giving an affirmative
grunt, they walked a few paces in
silence.
“Didst ever hear such screams and
shrieks as the old beldame who hath
had care of the witch let forth as the
councilor did announce the time of
the burning? Methought the prisoner
winced an’ grew even paler as the
noisy clamor reached her.”
“Yea, friend; I heard them,” replied
the first speaker, with rough serious-
ness. “Such eerie sounds cou!d not but
go through the stoutest heart. Whi
was’t that led the faithful old dame
from the chamber an’ put her on her
horse?” :
“A man by name of Gaston, gossip,
the servant of the prisoner's lover,
La Fabienne, who hath remained at
the Mayland farm as helper. Some
say 'tis kindness, but as the fellow’s
master left him naught of gold to pay
for lodging at the inn an’ no one
without the countersign can go down
the mountain past the guards station.
ed at the rocky ledge on the roadway
a ha’ mile below the village I doubt
not”—with a hoarse laugh—‘“that he
doth make a virtue of necessity.”
Still discussing the situation, they
passed on, followed by a long stream
of stern faced, gray clad men and
women, some talking excitedly as
they picked their way from stone to
stone over the muddy road and others
walking in grim silence, with sealed
lips, but an expression of triumphant
satisfaction at the verdict of the court
shining forth on their stern coun-
tenances. Others, reluctant to leave
and regardless of the steady fall of
rain, stood about the prison "door,
watching with curious interest the
mounting and riding away of the chief
councilor and the members of the
council, oo
In obedience to a command from
her mother Hetty Taunston, frighten-
ed and disheartened at the result of
the trial, stood waiting a little dis-
tance apart, with Simon Kempster at
her side. x
“I give thee good day, Hetty,” called
her friend, Cynthia Camett, approach-
Ing, greatly excited. “Happen I do hot
séeé thee VefoFe, we’ll make sure to
stand together at the burning. Al-
though, I ween, 'twill be fearsome an’
for a bright new gold piece. "Twill be
something to talk of o’ nights for years
to come.”
“I will not go to see my cousin burn-
ed” Hetty answered soberly. “By the
law I was forced to come today, but
unless they drag me there with ropes
and chairs I will not see sweet Mar-
garet burned.”
“Oh, fie on thee for a faint heart!”
cried the other gayly. “Thou’d best
change thy decision,” she added as she
turned away, “as ’twill be a great day,
I do warrant thee.”
Soon Mistress Taunston came to-
ward them, talking volubly to the
Widow Dawson.
“Such sleepless nights as I ha’
spent,” she said dolorously, ‘“expect-
ing every moment that lightning would
strike the house or some of. us be
carried off or struck dumb, I could
ne'er describe to thee. Hetty, go now
and see that thou dost wear a brighter
face.”
“Aye,” agreed the widow, “none
know better than I the pain 0’ sleep-
less nights. God be praised, we've
only five more now. The councilor
showed rare wisdom an’ care of us in
appointing an early day.” :
“Mayhap the knowledge that La
Fabienne is at large,” the other said,
“caused him to feel that for the ends
of justice the prisoner’s evil spirit
could not be destroyed too speedily.”
“Fear not that he will e’er return,”
the widow’ exclaimed, with an ugly
sneer, tossing her head contemptuous-
ly. “Forsooth, an he doth get through
the forest with a whole skin, which I
much doubt, he will shake the dust of
this mountain from off his feet forever.
Tis ever the way of those gallants. I
wot all he wanted was her estate.
Prithee, good dame,” she continued aft-
er a moment's silence, “at the prison-
er’s death do her lands go to the old
woman, Elsbeth? Will the witch be
allowed to make disposition of her
property ?”
The countenance of Mistress Taun-
ston clouded darkly as she replied in
shrill tones: “Is a witch possessed of
devils able to dispose of her property?
| Hast thou not heard, woman, that in
her father’s will it is stated and legal-
ly witnessed, that my son Josiah, in
case Margaret dieth without issue, is
the next heir to the estate? Fare thee
well, Widow Dawson, I must ha’ speech
‘with Hetty, who, I see, doth lag be-
hind.”
And the dame, to avoid further con-
versation, abruptly left her companion
to continue her way alone. :
In those early days, when the belief
in witchcraft was universal and peo:
ple had strong superstitions, an event
such as the arrest of Margaret May-
land, foilowed by her trial and conviec-
tion, gave food for much interesting
conversation. In the long twilight and
after the candles were lighted these
simple folk sat about their hearth-
an awful sight, I. would not miss it
stones speaking the condemned wom-
rattled or the wind rose they sat erect,
listening nervously, the more timid
cowering down in their seats and cov-
ering up their faces with their hands.
Every movement of the prisoner dur-
ing the trial, her words, also those of
the councilor, were repeatedly discuss-
ed, and they spoke of her suffering at
the stake, that was to be the expiation
of her sins, with grewsome exultation
in their voices and gestures. The men
killed lambs and fowl and the women
rose at an earlier hour to get the churn-
ing out of the way and to do extra
baking in anticipation of visitors, for
it was known that many Puritans from
other settlements would ride to Cragen-
stone that day.
Oid Elsbeth, who had been allowed
to see Margaret just once, when she
took her a change of clothing, spent her
time weeping, wringing her hands and
praying to God to save her young mis-
tress from the horrible fate that await-
ed her.
“Sir Godfrey had gold,” Gaston
would say to her comfortingly, al-
though his own face was downeast and
troubled, “an’ much can be done with
gold. Cheer thee, good mother, ani
keep in readiness, for who knows but
the master ’!l return at the bead of a
great arm; and carry us all away in
triumph from this aceurst mountain.”
“Ah, lackaday, mine ears are strain-
ed wi’ listening for the sounds of
horses’ hoofs,” she responded disconso-
ately, “that never come—oh, woe is
me, that never come!”
The host of the inn of the Sign of the
Red Heart at this time was the busiest
man in the village. Men eager to dis-
cuss the sensational and tragic events
filled his drinking rooms, and a greater
number of idlers than usual loitered in
the hallway or hung about the door-
step. Newcomers who had ridden far
to the trial and were resolved to re-
main over to witness the last agonies
of the condemned woman filled his
house to overflowing, some of them
paying four times the value in gold for
the privilege of sleeping on straw in
the barn, and strangers were coming
and going constantly.

TREACHEROUS PEAT BOGS.
A Grewsome Tradition About the
Battle of Solway.
There is an ancient and grewsome
tradition connected with the story of
the battle of Solway. This battle was
fought on the “debatable” borderland
between England and Scotland in the
year 1542. A troop of horsemen heav-
ily mounted and heavily armored was
put to rout. In the panic of their flight
they ran headlong into a peat bog. The
bog trembled beneath the feet of their
chargers and opened and swallowed
them, horses and horsemen, arms and
armor. To support this tradition more
than 200 years later, at the end of the
eighteenth century, a digger of peat
tame upon one of the troop—a man and
his horse, both in complete armor and
Preserved from total decay by the anti-
septic qualities of the peat. Another.
"story of that peat bog of the Solway
frith is that in November, 1771, the
bog, surcharged with the moisture of
heavy rains, rose, swelled and burst
like 4 torrent, sweeping along with it
trees and houses and destroying thirty
small villages.
Many thousands of acres of peat are
found in the north Germai lowland.
In Ireland estimates place the lowland
bog area at 1,576,000 acres and the
highland area at 1,254,000 acres. Rus-
sia is said to have 6,700 square miles of
peat. Several million acres are fn
Norway and Sweden, France and Hol-
land. The United States and Canada
also have extensive tracts, Peat has
been used by artisans for ages in the
manufacture of tools. By burning peat
the old steel workers prodyced the fin-
est grades of iron and steel on account
of the intensity of the heat produced
and the absence of anything detrimen-
tal to the metal. The elastic and keen
Damascus swords are believed to have
been made by the use of peat. ela
Peat itself is the product which re-
sults from the partial decay of .veg-
etable material — mosses and other
marsh plants—which grows and dies
in . boggy ‘places where the water
stands. It.is chiefly composed of sphag-
the cuplike arrangement of its parts,
which take up and hold water like a
sponge. Sphagnum continues to grow
after its roots have become detached
from the ground. These two qualities’
explain why bogs occasionally slide
from their old beds. : Ra
Burial Armor and Shrouds,
‘The custom of sewing up a corpse in
flannel originated doubtless in the act
of parliament, 18 and 19 Charles II.,
ment of the woolen trade and required
all bodies to be buried in woolen
shrouds. Two amending statutes were,
passed — 1678 and 1680 — requiring at
the funeral an affidavit to be delivered
to the priest stating that the require-
ments of the law had been carried out;
otherwise penalties were incurred.
These acts were repealed by 54 George
IIL, although long before that time the
penalties for noncompliance with the
law had ceased to be enforced. During
the operation of the acts for burying
in woolen the law was sometimes evad-
ed by covering the corpse with hay or
flowers, notification of which is some-
times met with in the parish registers.
Burial in armor was not at all un-
common the middle ages and was
considered a.most honorable form of
burial. Sir Walter Scott in “The Lay
of the Last Minstrel” thus refers to it:
Seemed all on fire that chapel proud,
Where Roslin’s chiefs uncoffined lie,
Each baron for a sable shroud
Sheathed in his iron panoply.

Maid and Men Dead.
Travelers in China often derive
amusement from the peculiarities of
shop. signs there, many of which are
couched in the most eloquent and poet-
ical terms. But it is not necessary to
leave the British islands in order to
find business announcements quite as
curious in their way as those in other
lands.
In the Isle of Man, over the shop of a
barber who supplies customers with al!
kinds of fishing tackle, the writer was
amused to read the following: “Pisca-
torial Repository, Tonsorial Artist,
Physiognomical Hairdresser, Cranium
Manipulator and Capillary Abridger,
Shaving and Hair Cutting With Ambi-
dextrous Facility, Shampooing on Phys-
iological Principles.” On a signboard
in the town where the writer lives may
be read this phonetic announcement:
“Shews Maid and Men dead Hear.”
And when we add that it is over a cob-
bler’s shop the reader may discover its
meaning.—Chambers’ Journal.
An Impromptu Vacation.
Percival Somers in his “Diary of a
Country Gentleman” tells of an Eng-
lish farmer's wife who on her way
home from market drew £60 from the
bank and completely disappeared on
the instant. She was thought to have
been murdered for the money on the
lonely roads, and for six months no
more was heard of old Nancy. Then
she suddenly walked into her old home
and went about her work as usual.
She had taken it into her head that
after forty years of hard work she
wanted a holiday, and accordingly this
ancient rustic, who had never been
more than a few miles from home,
steered herself triumphantly to the
United States and took the said holi-
day among relatives whom she had
never seen up to the moment of this
belated appearance,
