lowed these words, for the disgrace
and death of Martha Huges were
still fresh in their minds.
"Sileneel silencel in the court"
roared the judge, and this command
was echoed by several officers.
When order was restored the priest
was about to say more, but "That
will do, that will do, Father Dusa-
toy" said the judge. "Let the pris-
onersbe set at liberty" Shouts of
"hurrah, hurrah," went up as the
dame was led out of the court, fol-

Father Dusatoy and Mother Nor

consuming her vitality, and wild
delirium had seized her brain. She
did not recognize even her kind
mother.
Dame Morton was a woman of
remarkably strong nerves. On the
way from Wells, the kind
hearted priest broke to her,
as gently as possible, the
distressing circumstances of her
husbands death. but had said moth
ing about the suspicious of foul
play which had arisen.
The body had been brought to
the house and laid out upon the
bed. After spending a short time
with her sick daughter, the dame
turned to the priest and said.
where is poor father? Let us go
and see what they have done with
him."
"He is lying on the bed" said one
Of the neighbors present. They
entered the chamber, and the old
LADY looking at his features discov-
cred the large wound upon his tenn
