The Story of n Little Girl.


A while ago a little girl was lost in
New York, and to the editors of a great
paper came an appeal for help in finding
her.
"We'll get up picture to show every
body how she looks" said the editor,
who has soft spot in his heart for lost
children. So reporter was Sc mt out, but
presently returned to report that he could
get no photograph of the girl, but that
she was small of her age, always stood
with her feet close together, had blue
eyes, and wore Nelly Blye peaked
cap.
"Now get up nice picture" said the
editor, and the artist was puzzled, as
we'll he might be, for the facts that the
girl had blue eyes and was small of her
age were of no use in black and white
drawing, and he had only the feet and
the cap to work upon. However, he did
the best he could, and drew picture of
a real nice little girl.
The resemblance was remarkable.
Everybody said so. The mother of the
little girl came in to thank the artist
and the editor with tears in her eyes
after the girl had been found, and mod
ern journalism entered another splendid
triumph on its notched stick.

quarrcled with them in the flesh.

When he did so he heard distinctly the

directing her eyes to the apparently va

scolding of Lucy's ghost as to frighten
him nearly to death

Strange as it may seem, many Of the
superstitions of the old colonial times
still survive in the mountains Of Vir-
ginia. do not refer to tho voudoo
worship of the colorcd people, but to
the beliefs that are common among the
white folks of the region. Here among
the Alleghanies "witchcraft celebrates
pale Hecate's offerings" and within
easy reaching distance of Fincastle
there are n number of withcred hays,
who less than century ago would have
been burned at the stake for the black
arts they are supposed to practice.
They are rcputed to be witches. and to
meet one of them at midnight would
appall the bravest inhabitant. At least
two of these women belonged to fine
families in the long ago and were noted
for their beauty and their jewels. In
the oldcn time witchcraft was not con-
fined to the Puritans of New England.

instilled in her from birth by witch
mother. She has epileptic fits, talks
with drawl and a nasal whine, and
emphasizes her words in n peculiar
manner.
She was casper's daughter, born in
this county-Boteturt- as a girl
worked in the family of one very re-
spectacle, If not learned, old gentle
man-Moore by name. The substan-
tial, implanted old Dutch house, filed
with curious old books and furniture,
among which were German black letter
volumes and valuable hall clock with
chimes-proved a tempting home to the
house girl, Annie Croft. So, in the hope
of retaining it during her natural life
she bewitched Mrs. Moore-so the story
goes-and in n very short time married
the gray old man, then about sixty years
of age.
She was ut the time about nineteen.
Her fame as fortune teller and witch
was then wonderful.
Her enemies said that she inflicted
the troubles that she foretold; her
friends that she was surprising
medium through which the future re-
vealed itself. She undoubtedly hit the
truth in many instances. For example,
she happened to be at lady's house in
her travels, and upon opening her book
declared that coffin appeared between
her lines. Her nearer was visibly af-
fected, because one of her sons was
away at war.
"No," said Ann, divining her thoughts,
che will not die in battle. He will choke
to death"
There was but one way to do this, so
thought his mother. He would be cap
tured and hung as n spy.
Despite the dictates of her reason, she
grieved for her son. A month later she
heard that he had died in southern
hospital of diphtheria.
They say this is only one of n thou
sand instances that have verified her
predictions. For my own part, 1 could
never remember the fortune she re-
hearscd for my benefit. When she struck
truth in past events I was not sur
prised, because here, as in small towns,
everybody's past is his neighbours to
remember; and l felt sure some one
had talked to her before her visits to
me.
Mrs. Roland, connected with very re-
spectacle people, and now old and
feeble, has been for years considered a
witch. Ignorant persons so consider
her. Others say she is living repre-.
sentative of his dark and awful males.
ty. She is intolerably wicked in a
church-going, demonstrating com
munity. For years she lived in an ugly
house on Main street alone; and yet
she talked necessarily to long-departed
friends. She has been wealthy; and
her people are able to keep her out OF
the poorhouse; yet, it is said, she who
once robed in silk and jewels and pos
sessed slaves to murder If she desired
will die in the county almshouse. The
reason for this is that she is witch
She has suffered; she is disappointed
childless, helpless old woman; and the
strange magnetism which in the days
of her youth and beauty brought to hel
feet lovers, husband, friends and adj
mirers is now exerted in putting evil
spells upon people; in cursing then
