CHAPTETl IV. THE MTT.DER HT
THK WATERSIDE.
It wa3 no more than nn hour aftfr clay
when I was surprised by the earning of
the younjr man Philip Stamlflfielfl to my
chamber door. He rame In without
knocking, and leaned upon the holf.r,t.
There he wecprl and cried, and though
I cannot pay that I bad any opinion of
Ms qualities before I was somewhat
affected by his penitence. Indeed, I
could not but suppose that, even thus
late, my words of rebuke had taken
ITect uprm the hardened and Indurate
herrt of this helnaua sinner.
With this comforting thought upon
me, I a?ked of him when the Kracp of
Tppentance had been Riven to him, and
told him that I had a vision during the
night of demons that had wre?tled. for
his soul, but which by my watchfulness
and pravrr had fled away battled and
vanquished. For, very clearly, I saw
the meanlntr of It all now. I hnd of a
surety been sent to the New Mllns to
deliver the soul of this yountf man.
At last Philip Ptandsfleld ceased his
Bitching and grieving, and I looked for
tome words of Trace. Itut he said:
"Alas! Mr. Hell, Sir James, my dear
father, has left hU chamber during th9
night nnd wandered abroad, so that we
fear he has done himself a mischief."
But I comforted him aaytng that be
like Sir James "had been disturbed by
the same noise of demons which I had
heard, and had1 jrone abroad to see
more of them, even aa I had done my
elf. -
At this Philip looked somewhat
etranfrely at me, and so went bis way
for that time, so that I was left alone.
Then I dressed me in my bettermost
clothes, being the Sabbath day, and
went downstairs to go abroad. As I
passed through the gate nnd went along
the causeway that lends to the manu
factory, one came running to say that
they had found Sir James lying frozen
In the water with his face down, and
oil the breath gone out of his body.
Thither I hasted with great lament for
my kind friend nnd patron, remember
ing all his kindliness and hospitality to
me In past days, and grieved to think
that all was at an end.
When I got to the place there was
already a great crowd, and Philip
Standsfleld standing by ordering them
to have him taken out.' Sir James lay
' with his face down, frozen In firmly on
either side, with little on, but a great
thick coat of blue done about him.' And
when they drew him to the Bide, ne lay
. on (he bank so dismal a night to behold
that my heart bled for him. and my
tears (ran frevly down upon the ground.
At this moment I got a sudden sur
prise, for aa It had been, the thought
of demon' Philip StandcfUM came and
caught me by the s1pve, crying out,
"Here star.ls th? murderer of my fa
tl ?r. lie it. was thut enticed him
hither, and h.th, for his own wicked
ends, chiked and worried him to death
nn l dung him into the river!"
Then certain that were hi Philip's
fact! m. (ieorge Johnston, whom I
heard th"m call "the devil's tailor,"
nnd mi? N'lohols, came and cau?ht me,
punhlnic m? rudely, and riving the good
blnck cloth's off my back, crying out
all th.? while, "It Is the murderer! It
Is tha murd -rcr! See his countenancel
He cennot find rneooh to deny It."
And :t a verity speech had departed
frum me, as well It might from one
that 1:4 suddenly accused of the death
of his brut friend, from whom he part
ed In all love and amity only the night
befire.
Sj they hauled mo along the path,
and making mo touch the body they de
clared that blood came from It, which
was mmlfes'Jy fains, for none was to
be psen, save where the glass of the
wmdow had cut my own hand In re
turning during the r.lght.
"It In. fiod's ordinary mode of discov
ering crime," nld Philip Standsfleld,
and he wiped his own hands on hla
sleeve, for he had been standing beside
IT13.
So they took me, along with the body
of my late beloved friend, Into the
waukmill; and there, saying that they
hud caught me red-hand In the act,
Philip Standsfleld was for straightway
hanging me, by virtue of his warrant
as a magistrate of the county, having
been chamberlain and deputy Rhertff
to his father. But this others debated

hand, and without color of law.
Then, so wonderful are the ways of
the evidence of things and circum
stances, that they found one of my
shot-s down .by the waterside where I
had stood behind the tree. This they
asked of me to explain, a dozen crying
at once, "Did I deny having been dur
ing the night- near to where the dead
body had been found?"
I told .them that I did not deny the
truth. But I begged of them to listen
while I told them how that evil nplrlts,
to my knowledge and In my sight, had
dragged a burden down to the water
edge and set it afloat on the river.
But at this they all laughed aloud.
Even thofi? that were not Ill-affected to
me were sunken In their belief by my
rambling words, which seemed to them
to bear guilt on the, face of them.
I cried and protested that they should
never think so bae a thing possible, as
that I should murder my well-beloved
P 1 K
S6 They Took Mo.
friend, and that wholly without reason.
But they went and pointed out the
double track of my feet to the water
side, and again with one shoe gone from
my right foot, back again to the win
dow, j
"I will have his life, tor a black
hearted rogue and the murderer of my
fatherl" cried Philip Standsfleld. And
he bado bring a rope, which put me In
great fear when I aw, Nichols run off
to do his will. For they took me out to
the dule-tree, and Qarred read a kind
of wiu-r&nt about finding me red-hand
In the act,, while I stood on a wooden
tub 'that was used for washing, with
the rope about my neck, and the other
end rove over a branch. I was In much
tumult and perturbation of spirit when
I thought that .In another moment I
should find myself In Abraham's bosom,
for which, In my present state, I knew
I wafl desperately ill-fitted.
Presently, ttandlng thus with my
thoughts whirling about me, I heard a
voice I knew speaking loud and angry
at the outside of the throng. It was the
voloa of Umphray Bpurway, the Eng
lishman. And f hat was small comfort
to me, for the mam had' never liked me.
Indeed, Englishmen,, for common, have
small kindness for ministers: So that I
looked for no pause or mercy. Never
theless 1 cried to the man that I asked
for trial with color of law. And I took
all that were there present to witness,
that It should lie upon him, that was a
man of substance and responsibility, If
he should allow mine enemy to shed my
blood without trial.
Then the Englishman, who had been
trained, as they all are, to fine Instinct
of law-abiding, cried out among them
all:
"Let the man be taken to prison. Let
him be kept close till he have fair trial, j
A man Is surely Innocent till he be
proved guilty. In every country save In
this uncouth land of th Scots, where
they set a man to hedge and shoot him,
or string him to a. tree and try him as
he dangles. Give the man to my hand,
and I will keep him safe In mine own
house, and produce him upon warrant,
for which I shall be surety to the whole
extent of my goods."
So In spite of Philip Stamlsfleld and
his cabal, I was let go with Umphray
Spurway, for he was an urgent man,
and Imperious so that very few dared
say no to him In all that country side.
So as soon as I got him alone In his own
house I began, to tell him all the tale of
the demons, at which relation, first of
all, he cried "Pshaw!" and "Clotted
nonsense," with other expressions I can
not repenit, being unseemly to be writ
ten down byl a minister. -
But after he had thomght n little, he
bade me repeat It all again from the be
ginning, nnd Indeed several times over,
questioning me of what I hud seen, till
now I said to' him, "Ah, Mr. Spurway,
bldo a little, nnd you will come to lc
lleve In the demons."
"Tut! gull-head," ho said very rudely
to me, that am a minister (though till
lately Without charge). "I will find
your demons for you when my good
friend the commissary comes from
Edinburgh."
Then he tokl me how It had been re
solved to hush the matter up now that
Philip and his clan hud been balked In
the Immediate killing of me for the fact
but that he, Umphray Spurway, had
taken It upon him to write to one Mr.
eorge Hume, merchant In Edinburgh,
who was great with my Lord Advocate
Dalrymple, to have him order n public
examination.
"Then It will go hard If I grip not
your devils, for you, minister, as read
ily a a .herd thnt grips sheep at a
narrow slap In a stone dyke."
These things I set down ns he said
them, for tlnu-t wait his strange nnd lm
mHlest way of speech. But I deny mt
that the man treated me well enough
all the time that I abode In his house
by the cloth manufaotury, to which he
went and came at stuted hours, ns reg
ular as the clock, which Is the uw and
wont of Yorkshire men.
It was about 12 that night of the
Sabbath the strangest I hnve ever
een, and Ood and the angels keep me
from seeing any stranger thnt Um
phray Spurway wnked me out of sleep.
He stood by my bedflde, with William
Bowman, his servant.' I feared he'hnd
come to tell me thnt I was to go to
prison. But Instead he asked me to
rice, and be a witness of a strange
transaction.
So soon as we came out of the house
and.he door was shut behind us, we
saw a great many fitting lights at the
door of the place of New Miln. As we
went nearer we heard also the tram
pling of horses and a concourse of peo
ple. . " , ,
By the way we met a'maft hurrylnjr
greatly. Ho would have passed us by
without speech, but- William llowman
tripped him up, being a Cumberland
man and skilled In such plays. ' '
I heard Umphray Spurway say to
him, "William Robinson, whither way
so fast? What goes forward with so
great a concourse at the house of Sir
James Standsfleld?"
Then the mnn, being held so fast at
either side, muttered that Philip had
given orders for the bringing out of
the body. And they were burying It
secretly In Morham Kirk thnt night.
"For," said Philip Standsfleld, "It my
father was not murdered by the rogue
of a minister that set hlm against me
ncgnn to Tell lllm.
nnd played .tnle-pyet to my doings
why, then, he made away with himself,
and, having died like, n dug, he shall be
burled like a dog."
"We will e'en go our ways down,"
said Umphray Spurway, and I mind
that his beard was red as fire where
the pitchplne lights caught It ns we
followed the procession to the kirk.
It was a gruesome sight we saw when
we got there. Two women went dancing
before with torches In their hands. One
of then I knew not, but the otluf was
the buxom besom Janet Johnston whom
we had seen with Philip Standsfleld In
tho chaiigehouso. Then enme the corpse,
white-sheeted nnd cofllnless, looking
twice tho ordinary length of a man,
borne upon the shoulders of six men,
and with the hend not stiff but wagging
from side to side like a twig with a
broken top. It was a memory for a
man to carry to his grave. And a thou
sand times when I sleep alone I wish
that I had never seen It.
Then the unseemly procession went
Into the klrk-yard with Jest nnd levity,
stumbling over graveyard stones, being
most of them well touched wlh drink.
Cursing and swearing they went, like
men thnt are not In love with their
job, and would take out their nnger
upon the dumb stones among their
feet,

of the opinion that it Is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tuktf
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully threa
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling hoi
placed Wnshburn-Crosby Co.'n flour far above other
