! Grizzle Meade sat near by. Giles Ellis
took up the wine, looked at it critically

neatly and replaced the glass on the table.
Thanks" said GriZzle.
This was good days work" Giles
Ellis nodded his head as he repeated the
words-@gooi days work.
1t was all we could do" said Grizzle.
4 think it will put an end to Martin
/ Lee. If he be alive, he will never be
known in Massachusetts.
No." said Daniel Meade, "he will not
dare to come b@ck on account of John
Winslows horse and sheep. lis more
like he will return to sea-"
No. He will not come back-if he be
aliye-to be hanged for killing your son,
said Giles, looking hard at the landlord
who did no. meet his eyes, but made q
pretense OF stirring the fire.
Think you they will hang Dorothea
Lee and her daughter" Grizzle asked.
1T is a thing almost certain, Giles re-
piled. Unless it may be the judges are
not really sure Martin Lee is made way
with. Thsre may be 4 20 not say this
to be lepe ated. nor must you quo e me in
this matter-you know Governor Dan
forth is my cousin, and it maybe some
one has influence to save Dorothea and
Janet Lee from hanging-but 1t will ae q
difficult thing 10 do"
Here Giles Eilis looked so wise til It his
listeners could not help nodding in unison
an / complimenting him upon his rela-
tionsh;p with the Governor
Hast heard what Indian Joe tells of
Martin Lee?" Giles inquired.
The landlord Of the Globe Inn was
opening his mouth to speak, when Griz-
zle pressed his toe hirl and said:
Never a word have we heard"
Now the truth was the story had been
told with great detail in the inn, but
GrizZle did not wish to rob their custo
mer of the pleasure of think ng himself
the first to give them the news.
Whereupon Giles told all that Indian
Joe rehearsed to eager listeners aud
very much more. Then again they all
agreed that if Mart Lee really was in
the flesh, he surely would sail around the
globe rather than risk being hanged in
Salem.
And now Grizzle Meade poured ont
wine for the three-the smallest glass for
her husband-and all drank to each 9TH
ers' health again. 1t did not seem
strange to any there that their health was
SO precious that it needed much nursing
and care.
When Giles Ellis withdrew after APP
plauding the landlord and his wife for
the prompt manner in which they had
CHI .rged Martin Lee with the murder of
their son, and advising them to demand
his arrest and conviction, GrizZle Meade
turned quickly to her hush nd.
Now, you can judge for yours If. This
man has as much cause to dread Martin
Lees return as We have. Did you mark
what he said about John Winslow sheep
and horse? How they were killed at
such an hour, when all others tell US
twas good three hours later"
Aye, | marked it, Grizzle."
And how he met Indian Joe below
John Lees?"
And all the others tell US how these
two met good half mile on the other
side of John Lees" said Daniel Meade.
=" Well?"
"Why"-here Grizzle bent a scornful
look uron h ma babe could see how
It's. I tell you. Daniel Meade, twas no
one else but GILES Ellis killed the horse
aud Sheppard paid his grudge against
John Winslow
I never thought Of that, Grizzle."
And twas the first thin -the very first
thing came into my mind, answered
Grizzle Nelde. I do not want any bet
ter proof than l have that he killed John
Winslow's sheep, but it would be we'll if
We could let him know, Dauiel Meade,
that there is way to prove it. SO do you
keep your wits about you, and be sure I'll
do the same, for there is dan er t. you
and me as long rs that man lives. He
suspects too much now.
