Nevertheless, she could not bring herself to
do it. Twice again she attempted it, and
each time she drew back, overpowered by the
same shuddering dread.
II cannot do it," she exclaimed, turning
back to the table "I cannot bring myself to
it. | never knew was coward before"
She took the will, wrapped it in brown pa
per, tied it with cord, and scribbled on it in
pencil the word "patterns," thrust it in a
drawer of her bureau, piled some articles of
clothing upon it, and locked the drawer.
"Let it stay there for the present" she NUT
tered. "No one will meddle with it. It's as
safe as if it was at the bottom of the well.
I'll take a little time to think about what 1

things back, and put them in the desk as soon

She was able to accomplish her purpose
without recourse to strategy. When she re-
turned to her uncle's room she found that
honest Martha was fast asleep before the fire
and without any difficulty she managed to re-
place the will, the seal and the wax in their
proper places, to lock the desk, and put away
the key. Her task was done-she breathed
more freely. She sat down in an armchair
near the bed-not where she could see the
sick mans face; she could not bring herself
to look upon it just then-and thought over
what she had done.

THE GALLOWS.
Execution of VIM, B. Stnrtevant,
the Halifax Murderer.

PLYMOUTH, Mass, May, 5.-Wm. B. Sturte-
want, the tripartite murderer, was hung at
10 OS o'clock this morning in the yard of the
county Jail. To the last moment the doomed
man retained that composure and stolidity
which has characterized him throughout, scout
ing the idea of confession, and apparently un-
moved by any conception of the possible hor-
rors of the future. The arrangements for the
execution were perfect, and from professional
point of view the execution was complete
success. The old style of scaffold with its plat
form was discarded in this case, and the more
modern arrangement of pulleys and weights
was adopted, by which the body is jerked sud :
denly into the air by the momentum of fall
ing weight attached to the other end of the
rope.
10 the very last Sturtevant persisted in as
serting that he was innocent, and remarked to
one of the sheriff's assistants, while his arms
were being pinioned, 'I am as innocent of this
crime as was five years ago." A little later,
as he was coming from the Jail he remarked.
Il don't care damn what is done with my
body, as long as Blake don't get it," referring
to an uncle who had testified against him. All
who witnessed the execution were struck with
the wonderful nerve of the man.
