/ frequent acquaintance with the whip
ping post, and with him dwelt his
wife. an old dame with a tongue which
had once earned her the ducking stool
in England.
As / passed this house 1 saw over
the door a great bunch of dill and
| vervain and white thorn, which is held
to keep away witches from the thresh-
old if gathered upon May day And
/ knew well the reason, for not many
rods distant was the hut where dwelt
one Margery Key, an ancient woman,
who had been verify tied crosswise
and thrown in a pond for witchcraft
and been weighed against the church
Bible. and had her body searched for
witch marks and the thatch of her
house burned. l know not why she
had not come to the stake withal, but
instead she had fled to Virginia. where
witches, being not so common, were
treated with more leniency. 1t may
have been that she had escaped the
usual fate of those of her kind by
being considered by some white
witch and one who worked good in
StCetu VI III II lightly.
though many considered that they
who approached white witch for the
purpose of profiting by her advice or
warning were Of equal guilt and that
1t all led in the end to mischief.
Be that as it may. this old dame
Margery Key dwelt there alone in her
little hut SO overthatched and grown
by vines and scarce showing the shag-
gy slant of its roof above the bushes
that it resembled more the hole of
some timid and wary animal than
human habitation. And if any visit
ed her for consultation it was by night
and secrecy, and no one ever caught
sight of her except now and then the
nodding white frilI of her cap in the
green gloom of window or the pain
full bend of her old back as she gath
cred sticks for her fire in the woods
about. How she lived none knew.
A little garden patch she had, and a
hive or two of bees. and a red COW.
which many affirmed to have the eye
of a demon, and there were those who
said that her famiiiars stole bread for
her from the plantation larders, and
that often a prime ham was missed

But this much 1 will say, that. as was

kILLIAN MEETS WITH SAD DEATH
Blasting in Boise Quarry, Rock Hits
Him in the Head and Frac-
lures Skull.

BOISE, July 23.-John Killian was
the victim Of an accident Saturday af-
ternoon at the Jellison stone quarry
on the south side of Table Rock, which
resulted in his death. He was taken
to st. Luke's hospital and was Oper-
ated on, but shortly after midnight he
began to sink rapidly and died at
1910.
Killian was blasting at the quarry
on side wall and had put the charge
in position to remove about a ton of
rock. AS he was running away one
of the flying rocks struck him on the
left side of the head, fracturing his
skull. A piece of bone was depressed
into the brain tissues This, with a
clot of blood that had gathered on
the brain, was removed by the opera
ton.
