CHAPTER L In the morning of one of the early nun° days of A. D. 1692, four memberof a Dux - bury family sat outside the door on the shady side of tbe Alden farm helium, hulling wild strawberries. They were Mrs. Jona- than Alden and three of her aotis, Andrew, John and Benjemin. There wee.% fifth one in the group whom any one of the boys would have named first instead of last - their bright little cousin Sarah, eleven years old, a summer visitor for a few Weeks from her home in Boston. The house-oae of the broad, bomfortable two storey piles, with long slant tool in the rear, like the wing of a brooding leen-look- _ad out over Eagle -tree Pond, and the fair stretches of meadow end pine land that fol- lowed the valley: to the sea. Humming- birds spurt around the primroses( under the front windows, wrens twittered in the inch- ' ard, cat -birds mewed in the alders over Houndsditch brook, and the soft west wind brought thrush and robin goings from the oaks in the north cow lot and the willow- banke of Bluefish River. Down the mill road could just be heard the rumble of a cart ; and the measured sound of the chop- per's axe came mellowed through half a mile of grove and forest, where the snioke of a distant tar -kiln hung its blue flag in the sunshine. Life and suture were what they always are where a New England homestead cen- tres; and a summer day was never sweeter than the one that sang and smiled for the home -circle in the Alden dooryard among their baskets and pans. Thefether and an- other son had gone to the "Nook," but would be back at noon. The tongues of the little company were as busy aa their berry -stained hands. Last Sunday's meeting had gathered un it noon and scattered far and wide at night all the istest news. It had heard the fresh reports of what the French and Indians were doing, it had talked over the acts and milers of the lately arrived English Governor, Sir Wil- liam Phipps, and the new charter from "their Majesties," thiet made Massachusetts and Plymouth one colony, and had listened to the even more uncanny tidings of the ex- citement in Salem. For a year and upwards they had been hearing of the strange things that happened there in Minister Parris' family, and the trials and imprisonment of poor Indian Ti- ° tuba and Rebecca Nouree, who "had.famil- iar spirits " ; and now it was told that nine or ten more of the accused persons had been , convioad, and the new Governor had order- ed them to be put in irons! The children could not understand it at all, and the mys- tery concerned them more because some of the parties in the sad matter were said to be young girls scarcely older than Sarah. "1 theught that witches couldn't hurt • good folks, said little Benjamin. "So din I," said John. And ministers' folks should be good, ff any. How did that Parrisigirl know who it was that pinched The mother shook her head. "They call it 'apeotrat sight,' she said. It People troubled as theee girls are think they see the shape of some one, and they say that person torments them." " Mother," said Andrew, "what if I should get up in the night and scream and spit and make faees and cry oute'Aunt Standish is pinching me I See there she is now 1' would'nt you think 1 was limiting it up_?" "I should think yea had a bad night- mare, lily son," said Mrs. Alden, smiling. "But suppose Uncle David, and old Bea. con Done, and Squire Bradford, and Gover- nor Hinckley, and all the ministers should hear me ory out, and every one of them should believe me and say, 'Yes, yes, the boy is right; Mistress Standish is a witch !' 11 "Oh, Andrew! that is too bad altogether. You are growing terrible," protested Mrs, Alden. "Father said that vvhen Elizabeth Parris and Ann Putnam cried out that the were choked and bitten and pinched, and laid it to Martha Corey, Judge Curwin and Judge :anthem and Minister Noyes all belieeed them, and said they knew she was a witch. That was a year ago last March, and Good - wife Corey is in jail now," said Cousin Sarah. "It is terrible, isn't it, Aunt Abi- gail?" Mrs. Alden made some evasive reniark, and changed the topic. Somehow she felt that Andrew and Sarah had sketched the sad situation exactly. Alas for the people *hen their leaders are blind ! Her thoughts Were unpleasant, but she could not let the conver- sation continue so. And the children were too lighthearted to distress themselves long with an unhappy ;subject. " You expected your father here about this time, didn't you. Sarah ?" she asked, " Yes ; and I wonder why he doesn't come," "And bring cousin Nathan 1" cried John. "I hope he'll get here, to -day." "Yes;he said he was coming in his sloop, and Nathan should enme with him, and maybe Zechariah, too, if he-" • , "There's Doten Rickard !" brake in little Benjamin. A swarthy man in buckskin breeches and jerkin stopped at the well curb to drink, Andrew walked down to meet him. "Bean to the croes roads ?" ; " Yes ; here's a letter for Mr. Alden," And the man was gone, Postmarked Boston. " It's Zahariah's handwriting," said Sarah. " Oh! I can't wait till Uncle Jonathan comes. Why didn't brother write to me ? Do open it, Aunt Abigail. Mustn't you? I'm afraid it's -something." "Open it -mother," said Andrew. "Father 'Weuldn't care," and Mrs. Alden hesitated no longer. To the little world of the Alden fa,mily the opening of that letter was almost like the uncovering of Pandering box. Captain John Alden had been indicted for witch- craft, and was a prisener in Boston jail ! Few words were said when the family teok in the dreadful tidings. A kind of helpless and bitter amazement fen on them al!, and almost silenced them. The rest of that forenoon was a blot. From nine o'clock to twelve all went about as in a miserable dream, thinking, thinking. Poor Sarah wets in tears, and little Benja- ram cried with her. Even Indian Betty in the kitchen caught the gloomy infection,1 and muttered plaintively to hereelf as she I worked. The arrival of Mr. Alden at noon with his son, Jonathan, jr., was a relief to every one. He read the letter but it did not etrike him dumb. " Leftenant " Alden, as all • the • neighbors knew him, was a strong, stern -man. An officer in the militia, in the church and in the tewn since long before his marri- age (when past his fortieth year), no eine of -all the sons ef Priscilla Mullins had lees sen- timent in him or less superstition. His robust but dignified wrath as he read aloud the dismal details that his nephew had sent him broke the strain that had been on the family for hours. Healthy hunger sent the young people to the table, but he read on -the story of the arrest, of the so-called trial, the indignities an official hands, the commitment of his bro- ther to a felon's; cell -punctuating the whole with vigorous running comments that . showed how his serious soul was atirred. • "Ann Putnam accused him ! a chit in pinafores, like the rest -and Tom Putnam is L er father. I've heard somewhat of him - the parish clerk who has been overmeddle- Boum in thin witchcraft business. He is no friend to John, and he'd faiu put the girl up to it, "Heavens! are they all stark mad ? Can • a witch senda demon to torment her neigh. Children Cry for ••• erman FUD" J. C.

It is for these long- standing cases that Boschee'ss Ger-, man Syrup is made a specialty Many others afflicted as this lad was, will do well to make a note of this. • J. F. Arnold, Montevideo, Minn., writes: I always use German Syrup for a Cold on the Lungs. 1 hive never found an equal to it -far less a superior. 0 G. G. GREEN, Sole Man'fr,Woodburyij. bore? Who tells us that num= beingi have miracle power now to change their shapes, raise tempests, send plagues, or take or restore the life of beast or man? Bless our souls! these delusions are building a fire that will scorch New England bleak: "Hear the chattering simpletons 1 -and the magistrates and ministers of Massa:Chu- setts Bay do drink all their nonsense down: Tell Mr. Hathorn and Mr. Parris and Mr. Mather and the rest, that Satan neadd no help to pester and afflict. To think of short. ening his mischief by punishing men dind women for it! If they are 'possessed' they have the worst of it, I make no doubt, poor soots ! They are more sinned against than sinning. Christ the Lord pitied such, ;1n4 eared them -but he never accused them of tormenting other folk." The account of the trial and sentenceof Sarah Good -for Zechariah had illustrnted hie narrative with a few strong side•sketnhei -and the arrest of her child, little Dorothy, five years old, who was accused by the ,girls in the Parris family of " biting " them, wrought up the sturdy " leftenant " to al- most fighting pitch. "Given over 1" he exclaimed. " Given over to believe Hese-and to make 'em If a hundred had compacted with the Evil One do they think any evidence could prove it? Yet they will take the distracted testi- mony of children who have fits Theft sit the wise men of Salem, and reason it all out of the ravings of half a dozen wenches; and put leading questions to help on the abomi- nation. By my faith, Zeithenish is right.; He saith, in logic a Wee argument is ;worse than no argument '-and it was that nary sort of worse 'stuff that put John Alden irx, prison -one of the most honorable and , best known men in the two colonies." He laid down the letter and proceeded tal eat his dinner. But his indignation would now and then break out, and when Mrst Alden said, "God governs the world. Sat tan is here, we know, but he hath set hini bounds that he cannot peas," the geed man took it up, and would have gone on quoting Deuteronomy and Matthew and Aotsr and Second Timothy if little Sarah had not iint terrupted him. " Uncle Jonathan," she pleaded, "1 want to go home." "You shall, child," said he, "and len with you." • CHAPTER II. In the Boston home the grief was deep, asi became the nearness of the affliction. was for a husband and father, The feeling' that in Duxbury uttered Hindi in rebellioui protest, had stunned the hearts in " Ableinie Lane' with an awful surprise that at firo was more like despair. The family, knein not what to fear, for the new ruler had ati iron hand. • " Wciuld God that dear old Goneinor Bradstreet were still in power," they ;mid.. ." He would not have the innocent condemn- ed, and then loaded with chains." Young Za.ohariah, a student at Harvard, and within but a few weeks of his degreit, at the age of nineteen, had thrown aside his literary work, and faced hie father's Mishit-. tune. Against the fatal fanaticism Of tie time he might be powerless to help, biit would do what he could, 4 , 4 The woods around Salem village were in their first tender green when Captain Jonas Alden arrived there from Boston in the mite tody of a constable, on the, last day of „Mak, 1692. He never knew who originated the monstrous charge that canned his arrest. .1 The accusing bedlamites called "unties •'os the whim took them, and one so well known as the tall Boston sea -soldier might easily occur to them and be "cried out upend' In some of their random babbling& If they had heard of him that was enough. litoseli- bly some revengeful sailor in port, wlioni he had once disciplined, or soma zealous prose- cutor, offended at the old hero's to: bitint disapproval of the Salem's goings-on, trui have dropped a hint to the "afflicted fi dren." - It does not matter now. , In the house of Deacon Ingersoll Captali Alden washrought before the magiOratem and the girl accusers, as they were expected to do, fell down and screamed and went through their fits. " Who tornients you ?" asked the i!inagis. trates several times before there wits try aserswer. ,s' Finally Ann Putnam pointed herif finger at one of the spectetors and cried nut " Hill." Her "spectral eight" miiiit havie been at fault that day, for a man behind her prompted her, and then she called out, "Al- , i " Did you ever see Alden ?"they ,nn- quired, " No." " Then how do you know it is Alden 1) " The man told me." In any other time and place •t -he mule would have been thrown out of court after such an exhibition of childishness.But the magistrates had Met for business, wind they decided to eontinue the programme in the street. By the time " a ring was; form0 " in front of the house, the girl had apparent- ly heard more from her prompter; and, know Captain Alden quite well. She glared at him like a Pythonesse and denounced him for unknown alines; Coln- initted in his seafaring trade, and vnigat. of- fences Du land that would have ranked bin; among savages. Incredible as it eatim4 the tirade of a crazy tongue was liatendd 0 as an oracle. Character, and long and bonne - able public service, counted fen nothing ageinst the hap -hazard railings of a young female' drank. Her hysterical thiermanions now chimed in and complained toddled that Aldenwas pricking them with his sword. Thereupon the marshall was ordered to -strip off the Captain's sword, and take ,filint into custody ; and the magiatrates rtired for consultation. Some time after he was summoned to em pear in the meeting house, where a4rqw4 had already collected. Such gathnrings lead become a sadly familiar sight in Snlem Idle Pitcher's Castoria; I • p i den, Captain Alden." Men and women, who should have been a wOkk in their corn fields and kitchens, an children who should have been at school* swarmed across the green, trampling to death the beautiful grass. The epidemic of\ Mingled curiosity and horror 'crazed them \ all. In front of the gaping multitude, near tbe ,high, bare pulpit, stood the Captain. This antnninal silver of his seventieth year was On his head, but he bore himself erect intent crowned king. Aey made him stand on a chair "that all might see him:" Then the girl plaintiffs oried out that I he pinohed them, and the =Initial "held his hands." Every time he looked at hie &abusers they fell down. It was the replier thing to dd. "Why does not my look strike you doinji ?' said Mr. Alden to the magistrates. , itgonths or years later, perhaps, they felt the 'orois of that question, but not then., They only bade him "Confess and give gine, to God." "1 hope I shall give gine), to God now and alWa s ; but I will not tell lies and gratify the evil," said the stout hearted Captain. , Jd ge Gedney, one of the magistrates,had long, known Mr. Alden, and had been hie ishinfreate at sea, but when the prinoner chal- lenged any who had known him to impeach his iiharanter'Gedney said be had always belie;sed- himhonest, but now he had chang- ed his *pinion.

In travelling it is well to know what to • do, and then do it. Some travellers, how - even, think they know some things which by sad experienee they learn are not so. They will not Iadmit the possibility that theenmay be mistaken, and so scorn sugges- tions. Such a man was stopping at a west - tine hotel, and u on retiring for the night' charged the lan lord to call him in time for the five -thirty tilain. "Now don't forget," !iesaid, " the five -thirty." "But the fivel-thirty-" began the land- lortd‘'Neveri you mind anything, about the five-thirtyi I know all about it. You call me in time to gi it. That's what you're to do. See n" "Alt right," replied the landlord, a little shortly. I At five o'clock the next morning there was a tremendoue thumping at the door of the man Who wanted to rise for the " five - thirty ." A voice from within cslled "Alt right !" and the landlord retired to the office The traveller soon appeared dressed for the day's journey. As he paid his bill, the landlord inquired briefly: I Getting an minty start, haint ye ?" "No. Alwaye take the five -thirty when Igo through here." Cone of the clirectora of the road ?" "Superintendent of division, tubby ?" "No. -4Vhat are you trying to get at ?" . Nothing. Only the five -thirty was taken off the time -table yesterday, and the first regular train doesn't pull out till nine - sixteen. Didn't know : but you had some connection with the road, and was going to pull out on a special five-tnirty all by your- self. You wouldn't let me tell you last night, but p'r'aps 'taint too late now." The man who "knew all about it" walk- • ed out of the office without a word, and the landlord emiled as he said to himself, "In the language of. Josh Billings, It is better not tew kno so enutch then tew kno so menny thing; thet haint so."'
