The question unanswered that If man die
Shall he live again?" Who can tell2 Who can

That shelters the spirit for only q day.,
Why may not the soul, es the body, return
TO its elements too? But what do we learn
Bv questioning over and looking thrU' tears
TO q past full Of idols and blood-embalmeo
years? ,.,
Though sweet lines of poesy run here and there,
Like sunbeams Of gold, thro' cold, leaden ar
Though sweet mournful mus from days that
are dead
Still fall on the ear, healing hearts that nave

To see trees Of life bend with apples Of gold,
To bask in the tropics meath olive and palm
Where the kind words of Jesus, to the world,
Though sweet to the heart are the dreams Of
The present is with US. full OF stern, arctic
truth,
Full Of new revelations for each newborn day,
And teacher and learner must Dotn Wo1k ana
For new light and more lght-once candles

And truths then discovered will ever be true,
But the error must perish, thus sayo'h the

40. Dorothea O, God' he cried,
awhot shall | do? o, DorothCa, Doro-
thea. what have you done?"
while Egbert was still bending over
the dead babe, neighbor knocked at
the door He hesitated for a moment
and then opened 1t. The visitor was a
woman who lived next to them and who
had come ct break Of day to tell them Of
the minister's misfortune and to offer
her service to Dorothca. But no sooner
had she looked i'll at the open door and
seen the dead babe on the pillows than
she turned and ran toward the village,
crying. "Murderl Murder!"
The sun was now shining bright and
claar about the cabin. The storm was
over, and new day had arisen upon
Sagnauck =,
The woman ran the whole length OF
the village street, and her cry was heard
in every home. At the sound, men and
women FASTENED from their brief sleep
and ran toward Hillary's cabin, to which
she pointed them. 1t needed no words
for them to believe tnat there was some
sad mystery there. On they went, down
the woodland path, one by one, without
ceremony and entered the room. WITHIN
half an hour it was filed with friends
and foes.
Prominent among the latter was the
minister, who anxiously moved about and
tried, with his authority, to quell the ex-
element. BY his side was the constable
and after It was evident to all that a
murder had been committed, the two
bnsied themselves opening drawers, pry-
ino into hooks and corners, lifting loose
nlanks from the floor and making IN
nuiries of others. 1t was gOdsend 10
the minister. Heaven, in his belief, hao
sent relief.
During all this tumult Dorothea sat
rnon the bed looking wildly about.
| Through tho cabin door, now wide Open
in the morning light, she could see otll'
ers coming, men, women and chlldren,
walking, shouting, pointing toward the
omen door. Rude mon gathered about
bcr he'd and asked harsh questions.
while half-dresscd women excitedly crleo
ovcr the little body which, day before,
thev had said looked like cat. Al
length the minister drew near the bee
and said:
81 tell you the day of vengeance ha;
come. The prosecutor of my children
has been pointed out to you. | have &C
cused Dorothea Ingram Of witchcraft
and to this sin another has been added
She has murdered her babe. Last nlgh

observed. had entered the cabin, spok
up and said:

CHAPTER XIV.
THE TRIAL OF A WITCH.


rho little body of the murdered babe
was buried in a hollow near Dorotnea
homo. and within three days the unhap,
nv woman was taken to Salem by armeo
enard. there to answer the double charge
of r1urder and witchcraft. For the crime
which she had committed was so terrible
that not one person in Sagnauck, save
her husband and her adopted parents,
now entertained doubt Of her guilt
When the little party arrived in Salem
Dorothea was at once consigned 10 Jali,
and when once there, her condition be-
came so precarious that it was feared
she would never leave 1t even to answer
to the double charge against her.
Mr.. Granville, unmindful OF the lac'
that she might be summoned to hlgher
bar of Justice, devoted his time to care,
ful arrangement of his evidence against
her. -.
The witch fever was just then at Its
height in New England, and the news
that q notorious young witch was 10 DC
tried in Salem now spread through the
country and multitudes flocked to the
city.
Besides Egbert and DR.. Lennox, there
was a third friend who visited the jail
daily. It was an old Inan dressed as an
Indian and so thoroughly disguised that
no one would have suspected that nc
was white. True he never gained al.
mittance, but he was always observed
lettering around the prison door when
ever either Egbert or the Doctor were
visiting the prisoner.
The day set for the trial at length ar
rived, and Dorothea, still far from well,
was led before the magistrate. A lorna
charge of witchcraft and of murder we
read, and, by the advice of COunsel, u
both she pleaded not guilty. These pre-
| liminarics being over, the evidence o
her league with the devil was begun.
Tho Rev. Henry Granville was TN
first witness and mnutcly he traced th'
history of Dorothea and her father, anC
of the strange affliction of his daughter
| Achsah. Other members of the settle
ment were sworn also and bore wltnes
to many strange actions of tho accused
/ but the chief evidence against her wa
| divided into two heads-hor persecution
| Achsah and her mysterious visitor VIII
had provided for her at her marrlag
and during her illness. Both facts wer
supposed to be clearly proven by th
| testimony.
But when the defense began and Dl
Lennox was put upon the stand, eve
Mr.. Granville was able to sec tina
the first part of his testimony wOul'
fall to the ground. The Doctor state
that he had made careful study 9
Achsah's trouble and that he was conf
dent that she was suffering from nerN
Gus disease, not often met with in tn
new world, but which was not uncon
mon in the old. He pointed out that he
most violent attacks had always occurre
during thunderstorm, and drew I'd
deduction that her physical nature wa
unusually sensitive to the electric cul
rents. To this he added his belief tha
an inherited antipathy to Hillary ha
been fostered and exaggerated until hi
presence really did have an evil etfet
upon the child, but that this effect wa
due to anything which Hillary did, b
stoutly denied.

ITO BE Continued

THE foremost professor of hypnot'
ism in Paris, DR.. Luys, claims for q
new method of fascination that no per-
son can resist it. Instead of osing
force by the usual process, the oper-
ator places stand in the middle OF q
group of patients, and sets upon 1t a >
revolving apparatus of bits of colored
glass such as is used for snaring larks,
the patients being instructed to fix
their eyes upon it. The effect on men,
DIR. Luys declares. is exactly the same
as on birds. "On men the rotation of
brilliant surfaces produces in predis-
posed subjects a peculiar state of ret
ina, and subsequently of the whole
nervous system, accompanied with
anesthesia, immobility of the muscles,
'suggestiOnability' short, the en-
semble of phenomena constituting 'fas-
cination. The operation takes from
five to thirty minutes.
