JOHN ALDEN'S PERIL.
BY THERON BROWN IN WIDE AWAKE.
CHAPTER IL -Continued.
"The Lord make my righteousness aear
to you, and set your judgment right again,',
prayed the captain. " There is not a true
word in all these poor creatures have paid
agsinst me here. I am an innocent maniand
do intend to maintain my ititegrity till I
But his virtue was no defense in his
plight. He valued his life, but he could
sifford to be patient under a dark Provi-
dence, and let history render the justice
that was denied him.
The picture is a solitary one in the grim
annals of the witchcraft panic, of a man of
his dignity and age flouted and hustled by
paltry foes whom he could not strike, and
hounded by an Mope persecution that he
could not escape.
Captain John Alden wat the eldest son of
that first John Alden, of Plymouth, familiar
to all loners of Longfellow and his charming
story of Myles Standish's courtship. For
years, as sailing master of the Friendship to
England and Bermuda, he had served his
country's infant commerce on the mew
Three times he had accompanied Major
Church on perilous coast expeditions against
the French and Indians. Virtually he was
New England's naval commander; and his
cannon on the war sloop Mary had forced
threatening Canada to respect the British
flag, and driven foreign invaders from the
exposed settlements of Cape Cod.' And but
a few weeks before the date of this story he
had concluded a troubletome diplomatic

over.Essex County) and spread Wider as the
summer advanced. Mystery and imagina-
tion fed each other, and viotings of the
prevalent frenzy multiplied until their own
terror forced some to confess themselves
witches,
not knowing what they did or said.
The jails of Salem, Ipswich, Cambridge and
Boston were filling, and the court dockets
ware crowded. It was this very pressure,
probably, that saved Captain Aldeit's life.
Before they could reach him, humbler cant
than his gave the judges and lurks all the3
could do. t

John Arnold, the keeper of Boston jail,
Wal a humane man, and the character one
standing of the new prisoner compelled hit
respect. He could not put hone on a man
who he felt, never belonged in prison. The
law made it his duty to look up the stately
old commander, but otherwise he treated
him as little like a criminal as possible.
Zechariah, who graduated from college in
June, made his father frequent visits, and
the other membersof the family were al-
lowed to sea him and bring himicomforts.
But confinement was galling to the vet-
eran seaman. It tantalized him sorely, too,
to think he was so neer his home -so near
and yet so far. Zechariah, with his bright
versions of the town happenings, his en-
thusiastic plane of reload°, and his hopeful
way of telling even bad news, was a tonic
for low spirits, and his visits were always
refreshing. Still the caged itegle would
fret. i
More than ono° the captait relatives
from Plymouth Bay found their , ay to'him.
His brother Jonathan workee1 faithfully,
with Zachatiah and the older sons, to inter-
est both magistrates and minieters in the
prisoner's case. In that day the ministers

The ministers kept their promiseThe
people of Boston, too, had. heert enough to
regret the captain's summary treatmeut, and
,many lied enougli calm reason left to ques-
tion it. They were not willing to Fee the
life of so useful arid eminent a fellow citizen
tightly sworn away. He hot been among
thern thirty-two years -one el the founders
of the South Chutch, e leader of Ing.:13, and
(kneader of the Colony, an upright patriot
and Christian. On one of the days of that
forlorn summer, while John Alden lingered
in jail, a prayer -meeting was Ite!cl in his
home ,(on the street that still bears his
name) -and we on well believe that such a
meeting would fill his house with friends.
His pastor, Mr. Willard, prayed, and Mr.
, Moody prayed. .nnii. Mr. Allen and Mr.
Bailey prayed, Ind Judge Sewall read a
sermon. Other prayers were offered, and
some prudent abL strengthening words were
said; and the burden of all was' "Our
afflicted brother and his afflicted family."
But there was no dinging of pealms.
No doubt it consoled the worried priaoner
to know he was devoutly remembered. As
the weeks rolled on, the hint that the an-
swers to those prayers partly depended upon
himtelf began to make its impression upon
him.
. CHAPTER III.
The horrors of the witchcraft excitement
accumulated, and trials for life succeeded
one another with a fatal activity that was
ominous for 'Captain Alden. Five accused
persons were executed on the nineteenth of
July, five more on the nineteenth of August,
and on the ninth of September six more.
Ire one of his interviews in the prison Zech-
ariah eaid: .
" Father, you must needs get you gone
from here. If ..you bide your time to be
taken to Salem for the second examination,
you will go like an ox to the sacrifice.

iciouststories, and spectral eviderce,' are

Alreasiy one has escaped from Cambridge
jail. Attempt the same deliverance for
youreclf."
The captain had said, "I will stay and
hoe them,and date them te do their wont."
Later his answer was, "Let them fetch me
out therntelves, tied clear me as openly US
they lieve dithonored me." But, shaken
now by toms condnement, and distracted by
thoughts id his family -who all joined their
entreetiee for hie eafirelease-his stubborn
mead partialle gave way. Of what good to
him was the eourege of innocence ! It was
only temptieg the rage of a delusion that

Late in the night of the fifteenth of Sep-

by a slight sound at his cell window. In a

The old captain saw that he could not hes-
itate. Eagerly but deliberately, working
with the utmost silence and caution, the
• two men strained at the hateful bars. In
half an hour they had made a smallbut
sufficient opening, and the prisoner's feet
felt free ground for the first time in fifteen
weeks. So carefully was the delivery man-
aged that the watch was not alarmed. A

was past midnight. I.Jone. inactivity, fol-
1ow4d, by violent exertion,''told perceptibly
on ttie old man's strength, but he made light
of lits awkward steps. In his sailor fashion
he said to himself he would soon get his
"land kgs" on. Traveling through Dor-
chester, and over the Braintree lime (where
Quincy now lis) he began to feel his
fatigue ; but he pushed torwaed. Far on
his left he could hear the roar of the tea on
the rocks of Mos-we-tuset, the region of the
Squat:dam coast that gave Massachusetts its
name. Day was beginning to break when
he left the old forest realm of Chickatawbut,
and picked his may over theelittle Maned-
quot " river " on a fallen tree. In tint edge
of Weisaguesett, or Weymouth woods, he
stopped and looked about him. It was too
light to travel furtIer'if he had been less
\
weary thalt he woo The trees were drip-
ping with the heavy dew, but he threw him -
sett down, thinking he would rest3awhile,
and then find a hiding -place. Amoeg the
branches squirrels sang and sported, and
jays and. pigeons flashed their !tine winge.
In the distance a wild turkey belled bis
mate, As sunlight approached he saw the
hewti stumps ot a settler's clearing, and
heard sighs of human life. A few minutes
later, a large man wearing a raccoon cap
appeared, with a water bucket in his hand.
He watched him narrowly. It was old
Daniel Quill, one of Eliotie "praying In-
diane." A ehortgreeting, and Captein Al-
den found himself in a (ley cabin, sharing a
comfortable breakfast with Daniel and his
wife. Tliey were friends -and very

reached North River he Waa sited to take the

lonesome, and the night more black; but

soon changed- his mood. He reached the
turn in the reed where he knew his birth-
place and the playgrounds of hie boyhood
could be setae. But the 1ight3 were all out
-all save ehe beacon gleaming far away on
Captein's Hill.
It was elevert o'clock when the tired fugi-
tive arrived at the old homettead and
aroused the , eleeping family. We can im-
agine the exoitement that ensued. Jonathan
underttood the situation at once.
"Have you given the enemy the olip,
John ?" .
'Even so, brother. But Satan is yet
after my blood. I have fled thirty miles to
get clear of him,"
- "
You have come to the right place.
We'll bite care of you here, John. I told
my wife that the ministers promised to pray
you out, and she said, 'Why not? Simon
Peter was prayed out of jell once.'"
" Well, they've done it Jonathan ; only
it took longer than Mild in Jerusalem, and
the angel in my case was a young fellow
jut out of Harvard College."
It might be thought no easy matter to
hide "the tallest man in Boston" (as the
old sea -captain was once called); but the
freemasonry of liberty and love in the three
households of Jonathan and David Alden
and Sarah Standish proved quite able to
manage it. It was not the firtt time that
the Pilgrim had shielded the Puritan's vic-
tim. But one wonders if the Boston jailer
and mnrshall really tcok much pains to
track their °seeped prisoner.
The dismal autumn of 1692 passed, with
but one more death scene on Gallows Hill.
Of the thirty condemned as witches twenty
human beings had been executed. -and one
dog ! One from Cambridge jail, and four
from Salem jail had succeeded, like Captain
Alden, in making their esoape. Of the one
hundred still confined, several died in
prisou. Two hundred more accused persons
lived in daily dread of arrest, and nine of
theta' were children from five to fourteen
yemis of age ! Grave judges still listened
solemnly to "spectral evidence " ; but when
the limatics who kept up the agitation be-
gan ;to accuse the ministers and their wives,
and: tati magistrates themsaves, and even
the wife of his excellency, Governor Phipps,
sheer eolf-defense made it neceesary to call a
hilt. Prosecutors stood terrified, and took
no further stem.

the next epring court session, and ate
thankagiving dinner with his family. In
April, 1693, he was acquitted by i Iproclama-
tion," and soon alter all the mprieoned
were set free. The great delirium had spent
its fury.
The time came when all the twelve jury-
men who had repeatedly condemned the
innooente published a paper over their
names, fill of sorrow and humble °finial-
sion and one, at least, of the judges, at a
grail fast -day meethig in the Old South
&lurch, stood penitently with bowed head
while the minister read his petition for the
prayers of God's people that his part in the
sad Salem doing 3 might not be remembered
against him.
It was just two hundred years ago this
very month of September,. that Captain
John Alden stood thus in peril of his life,
and escaped by the pluck and aid of his son,
the young Hirvard graduate. Captain Al-
den lived many years after his imprison,
ment, and served his country as an honored
and trusted officer in several new expedi-
tions, both peaceful and warlike, on sea and
land. Those who know his Watery cannot
read his gravestone -now cemented to the
porch wall of the New Old South Church
on Boylston Street -without thinking of
the cloud that shadowed New England
two centuries lago like in Egyptian dark -
nese, and thanking God that it can never
come again.

were taken away to the printing office, so
that the earlier pages were already in type

This, with some other feats of a similar
kind, notably the production of Gibbon's
"Decline and Fall," without the alteration
of a line, suggests the question whether a
writer ought not to aim at such a mastery
of his own style, and such a grasp of his
own thought, as to do, at once, whatever is
the beat he himself can do, without 1 -caping
too much on the help of revision. In all
other work, trusting to future mending
slackens the tension.
This is far from saying that a. young writer
can safely send the printer Wet manuscript!
Before that vacation Dr. Wayland's fingers
had been worn to fit his pen. Before he
put the book on paper, its thought and ex-
pression may both have had infinite revision
beforehand, which precluded revision after-
