DOROTHEA INGRAM.
A Story of Early Colo
NAL Days.
BY CHARLES G. HAHN.
CHAPTER xv.-(Continued)


The oninion of such a learned physi-
clan as DR.. Lennox had its effect upon
the court as did also his deductions with
regard to Hillary's influence.
Passing on to DOrOthea'S case, he
troced the growing weakness OF Achsah,
intimated that her disposition was none
of the best, and openly stated that ne
believed she at first willfully deceived her
narents in order either to continue to
draw attention to herself or to inJure
Dorothea. The scene in his office was
again described and the Doctor,
testified that he believed the girls at
tack was a cataleptic fit, that he had so
treated it, and that she recovered under
his treatment. In closing, he gave as
his opinion that sudden shock of cleo
tricitv might for time, if not perma-
nently. effect cure of such disease.
This matter-of-fact manner of treating
the case produced decided effect upon
the magistrates, and one OF them seemed
inclined to pass over the first charge
without consideration. In fact, he arose
and began to speak upon the subject,
when he was interrupted by Mr.. Gran
vile. who at this unexpected turn
seemed to have completely lost his wits.
"Your Excelency," he cried, address
ing the Governor, who was present, 81
beg of you to remember that even II my
daughter has been i'll, physically, the
most damning evidence against the ac-
cused has not been answered. / have
testified with regard to the letter which
was so mysteriOusly taken from my study
table, and my evidence has been corrOD-
grated by Squire Allan. Who was it
knew that letter was in my pos
session, and how could he know Of
1t unless he possessed supernatural
power? Again, call to your mind the
fact that the mysterious visitor who ever
watched over this poor woman has never
been known, and that all questions con-
cerning him have been evaded."
The minister would probably have con-
tinued for some time, for he was grow
ing impassioned, had not the Governor
interrupted him and babe the trial pro-
ceed.
DOrothea's counsel Immediately called:
"Mark Hillary"
At mention of the name of the man
whom he had for years believed
to be dead, the minister turned pale.
He looked wildly about him over the
assembled people and saw tall man,
who, to all outward appearance was an
Indian, approach the witness stand, and
it required but glance for them to see
that the man was the same who had led
the file of Indians to DOrothea's home
the evening of her wedding, and who had
been lettering about the prison door in
Salem during the last week.
Hillary's appearance, as would be ex'
pected. created a profound sensation in
the courtroom. A few questions were
put to him by Dorothea's counsel and
then he was hidden to tell his history fol
the past six years.

the Younger branch Of the Duke OF
Elancy's family, and that only one life
stood between her and the peerage.
That night Dorothea murdered mel
babe.
The next morning after Dorothea was
acquitted of the charge of witchcra1t'
which had rested over her during her
whole life, she was brought into the
presence of the Governor and magls-
trates to plead why she should not suffer
the penalty of death for numbering her
child. A tide of pity had set In In hel
favor. but the Puritan law was strict,
and it was not expected, even by her
counsel, that Dorothea could possibly be
acquitted.
The trial was short. Dorothea was
placed upon the stand, and when asked
about the tragedy she answered in such
vague way that she was dismissed. And
it was well, for she could give but an un-
satisfactory account OF what had oc-
Cured on that wild, wet night.
Egbert was called, and testified 10
what he knew. He had been asleep, Dut
there had been no one in the cabin dur
ing the night save himself and his wlIe'
A few witnesses were called by the de-
fcnse to prove that Dorothea was insane
at the time she committed the crime, but
even the most hopeful felt that the eyl-
dence would have no effect upon the
sentence. She had committed murder,
and, no matter whether sane or insane
whether she or the man who drove heI
insane be the guilty one before God-sho
had committed the crime, and she alone
could expiate it.

to The Chinese plenipotentiary.
The power OF the Jara e,e COVE nment t.

SIX CHARLES HILBERT TUPPER.
when he was a mere child he would get
up on chair or table before his father,
SIR Charles Upper, who was later high
commissioner for Canada in England,
and deliver an address on the affairs of
the day. He was educated at McGill
college, Montreal, and studied law at
Harvard. Shortly before his examina-
tion at Harvard he broke his leg while
wrestling, and his friends felt certain
that his chances for winning his Ill. b.
were over for the time being Young
Upper, however, did not allow such a
trifie as broken leg TO stand in his
way and carried ON his studies in bed.
When examination time came, his leg
was still immovable as log in its plas-
ter cast and gave him great pain. but he
took ten days examination in bed and
secured his coveted degree.
He then returned to Nova Scotia and
began the practice of law. In 1882,
when he was only % years old, he was
elected to parliament. He made his
mark in the house of commons and mar
ried the daughter of Hon. james McDon-
aid, chief justice of Nova Scotia. After
five years of notable work in the COM
mons, during which he demonstrated
Enthusiastically that he was "a chip OF
the old block, "he was made minister OF
marine and fisheries by Premier Sir
John Macdonald. He was prominent
figure in the Boring sea arbitration,
and in September, 1898, his yeoman
service for Great Britain and Canada
was rewarded by the queen, who knight
ed him. Heis one of the youngest Cana
dians ever knighted, and with the ex-
ception of the late Sir John Macdonald
is the youngest man who ever held the
Office of privy councillor. His elder
brother. Stewart Upper. is lawyer il

1T is becoming very difficult for per-

large bunch of notices giving information
about persons wanted in various parts oil
the country for all sorts of misdeeds from
cold blooded murder down. You see
continued tho marshal THAT when
crime is committed search is carefully
made for the offender in the vicinity
where the deed was done. Should the an-
thorities fail in obtaining knowledge OF
the criminals whereabouts, notifications
are at once forwarded to all parts OF the
country where possible escape might be
had BY doing this police officers In all
tn, cities and towns are ready to arrest
the wanted persons and are on the look
out. Every day I receive notices to watch
for somebody who is wanted for crime.
The methods Of giving descriptions today
is SO accurate that an officer of any expert
ence will readily detect the person fleeing
from Justice II no chances to see him.
