CHAPTER XIII.
THE Pow-wow AT ROARING RUN.

THE POW-WOW AT ROARING RUN.
The habitation of Poppy Miller at the
mouth of the run had been seen by
few of the valley people-at least by
day. The children of the region for
half a century and more had been
taught to avoid the uncanny place
and by no means to approach it save
the prescribed way at dead OF night,
In dark of the moon, in storm, if pos
sfble, and never by the road. No one
in the region confessed to having made
the fearful trip, but a strange tale it
might be We're all known.
The seat of power In the old cabin
was Grammar Miller, a mysterious,
dreaded parsonage whom few had ever
seen save those who had visited her
on midnight missions. OF her origin
and a~ntecedents there We're only tradi-
tions. She was not a native Of the VAL
ley. h and Poppy Miller had sud
denly appeared II summer, so long
ago that the date had been forgotten.
He vas manifestly Dutch" but she
was of a type utterly foreign to she
region, and in half a century or more
she had not once been seen outside of
the limits of the Run farm. OF the
surmises n conjectures Of the years,
that had now grown into a solid body
of tradition by many accepted as yeri-
table history, it is needless to speak.
One thing, however, was certain:
Grammar Miller had power-not the
power that removes disease, for all
must know that what brings disease
and disaster will not remove it--but
the power hat touches the Internal
agencies. For ordinary diseases, for
rheumatism, and warts, n liver
grow'd' children. and such like, there
We're NANNY pow-wowers. blu when it
came to dealings with the unknown
only Grammar Miller could avail. 1t
vas firmly believed that she had in
her possession n Of the few copies
now extant of that fearful volume.

book which In the motherland in the
Fold days had cost SO many their lives,
and which a few, 1t is we'll known. took

spell removed, or a maiden win bach
her faithless lover, or a father rescue
his maynard son-who could avail but
Grammar Miller? And there were
dark whispers Of vengeance wreaked
on enemies, OF lightning called from
the skies, Of men and women suddenly
cut down by internal agencies-deeds
too horrible wen to think about. Al
these things men averred had beer
done on black nights in the Miller
kitchen. and there are those even to-
day who, could it be known, carry or
their a CHASTITY scars of crosses
and cabalistic symbolry done at mid
