The next morning, despite the fact
that heavy mist hung over the noun
tain and drizzling rain was falling,
the quiet village Of Cragenstone pre-
sented a scene Of unusual activity.
From the various houses people were
Issuing on their way to the council hall,
and at the Sign Of the Red Heart stern
faced Puritans from far distances were
arriving constantly, for the story of
Margaret's arrest had been passed
from mouth to mouth over the noun
tain, aid in those credulous superst-
tious times such a sensational event
as the trial of a witch was the signal
for general holiday. Shepherds left
their fiocks, housewives their spinning
wheels, the husbandman laid down his
plow, and, DOMINIC their best attire,
they walked or rode to the scene of in
terest. So all the morning along the
roadways and before the various shops
in the village groups of newcomers ad-
vanced or stood listening with mouths
agape to the startling and fearful tales
told them by the townspeople of 'the
accurst woman's doings" and the suf-
fering she had caused those that had
come under her evil spell.
Precisely at the hour Of noon, as the
rusty iron bell at the prison changed
out the tidings that the time Of Marga-
ret's trial had arrived, the chief coun-
cilor and council, accompanied by two
judges from Sterndorf renowned on the
mountain for their knowledge Of the
law, made their way through the great
concourse Of people gathered before the
jail. Trembling with excitement, old
Matthew threw open the door, and

fAs his name was spoken thus loud

"A ed deathly, white. and great
- beads Of perspiration stood out
on his forehead He attempted to rise,
but feeling his legs unsteady under
him, resumed his seat; then, control
ling himself by a strong effort. again
rose and walked with his accustomed
air Of calm seriousness to the bench
set apart for the witnesses. The chief
councillor addressed him solemnly:
Josiah Taunston, doth thou promise,
knowing that just and revengeful
God heareth all thou wilt say, to speak
truth?"
II do so solemnly promise"
Then young attorney, who had been
appointed by the council to question
witnesses, stepped forward, taking a
place Just before Margaret, who If she
needed what was going on gave no
evidence Of It but sat motionless, with

belt and with stern majesty proceeded
to address the old man.
Matthew Allen. keeper Of Cragen.
stone jail, I have here an order from
the chief councillor, herewith signed
and sealed, commanding thee to bring
the prisoner in thy charge-one Mar
garet Maryland, accused Of witchcraft
before said councillor and council In
the prison hall, where they will be as
sembled on the morrow at the hour
of noon."
The jailer took the paper with trem-
bling hands, stammering his surprise
that so much haste had been deemed
expedient.
THE council, as thou dost know,
Matthew, is composed Of wise men,"
he observed, men who foresee danger
and anticipate obstacles that might
rise in their paths. Thy prisoner, Jail
er, hath lover abroad known to have
vast influence at court. AS all the
roads and passes are guarded by good
Puritans heavily armed, his only way
Of escape was by the Sterndorf forest,
where he must either die of starvation
or become prey to the hunger of the
wolves.''
He snapped his fingers indifferently,
as IL he did not care which. $50 our
good councilmen, knowing the value
of precaution and having fair knowl
edge that Outlines evil doth triumph
over good, deemed it expedient to set
the trial at the earliest hour, an I
warrant thee, Matthew, that If the
prisoner is found guilty and condemn
ed to die her execution will follow
speedily"
doth fear a rescue, master?" the
jailer asked, alarm written on his
countenance.
"'Tis hard telling what intention
was in the mans mind when he left, /"
Taunston replied soberly. AN we
were careless enough to let the pris-
oner lie here a month or so mayhap
the popinjay, safely surrounded by
armed followers, would ride back to
break down the door and bear the
witch away. But" as he saw the
pallor deepen on the old keepers face,
crest easy, Mathew, an have faith
in the council"
Having finished his discourse, he
turned his horse about.
Zone moment stay thee" the jailer
cried eagerly, laying OBTAINING hand
on the horses name. can should this
knight find means of escape through
the forest and ride back to save his
lady, this old prison would offer but
poor resistance"
with SO much dispatch will the
|. council seal the woman's fate" Josiah
answered sternly, that unless La Fa'
bienne hath eagles wings wherewith
to speed him on his travels he will ar
rive too late. Fare thee well, Mat.
thew"
He started to ride away, then, pulling
rein, suddenly brought his animal to a
standstill.
81 Almost forgot to tell thee" he call
ed over his shoulder that the council
| hath under Amusement the matter of
sending some other to remain WITH thee
until the day that thy prisoner hath
been freed or her doom sealed. God be
with thee, Matthew"
| Putting spurs to his horse, he rode
away, and the keeper, calling his dog
turned the great key in the lock and
entered the Jail.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Portland Election.

portland Press)
Nathan Clifford, Esq, vase elected
mayor yesterday by plurality OF 19S
in greatly increased vote compared
with last year-in fact, one OF the
largest votes ever cast in munlclpal
election, about 5000. The Democrats
increased their vote. heavily in every
ward. and while the Republicans also
increased theirs in almost every case,
it was not enough to overcome the
Democratic gain. At the same time,
however. the Democrats failed to in
crease their ward representation, and
the council remains rs before, seven
Republicans to two Democrats in the
aldermanic board and q Republicans
to six Democrats in the common
council. 1t is a rather barren victory
after all. but there is Il chance to
herald it abroad as denoting re-
vulsion against the Sturgis law. That
is what the sheriff wanted, and that
was why he made himself SO active in
the campaign.
Mr.. Clifford was not elected be-
cause he was deemed the superior or
even the equal of Mr.. Baxter in stand
ing Or the ability to manage city al
fairs, nor because the majority of the
people believe the Democratic party
more competent than the Republican
to conduct those affairs. 1t was not
Oh account of the boulevard, because
we believe the majority of the people
believe in public improvements. 1t
was not on account of the management
of the department of public works, the
nnlipp 1pna ut her. fnI. if
it had been dissatisfaction on account
of these it would have been most illogi-
cal to elect a Democratic mayor and
not give him council to back him up.
Some Republicans may have voted
against Mayor Baxter because they
We're opposed to his having another
term, but not many-nOt enough to
have effected the result. In rejecting
him we believe the city has made
mistake which it will be sorry for. But
the point is that it was not any per-
SOnal matter or issue, not the question
Of bOulevards, streets, taxes or any
thing Of the sort that was the chief
determining factor. The nOn-enforce-
ment policy of the sheriff had been
changed into one of the strictest en-
forcement and even the agency seized
and closed up. The sherif's policy,
reinforced by his harangues and per-
haps by substantial assistance from
outside, worked up strong feeling
among those whose profits and pleas
ure had been interfered with. and they
set about getting every man they
could influence to the polls. This is
the meaning of the great Democratic
gain in every ward as compared with
last year.

True love is responsible fer many follies

Love of popularity has put many man
out Of the running.
Too often a fellows charity seems to be
glued to his fingers.
Any man who waits for something to
turn up will have Il lifetime job.
A woman can't understand why her hus-
band should ever be too busy to pet her.
If YOU would make your friends weary
talk continually about yourself and your
affairs.
This world loves a peaceful man, but it
always gives the right of way to 4 strenu-
Gus kicker.
The woman who has Il happy home
never has occasion to go on the platform
and lecture about it.
Most of mans troubles are due to the
fact that he doesn't keep enough of his
thoughts to himself.
You can usually judge the depth of Il
mans love by the Stiffness of his letters

Think three times before you speak and
the chances are you will decide it is best

Even the woman who says she admires
