It gave me heavy sense of responsibility and Of the wickedness of men.
 thought of old Kate and her broken silence. For once I had heard her speak. I could feel my flesh jingle when I thought of her quick words and her hoarse, passionate whisper.
 knew, or thought I knew, why she took such care of me. She was In league with the gallows and could not bear to see 1t cheated of its prey. For some reason she hated the Grimshaws. I had seen the hate in her eyes the day she dogged along behind the old money lender through the streets of the village when her pointing finger had seemed to say to me: There. there is the man who has brought me to this. He has put these rags upon my back, this fire in my heart, this wild look in my eyes. Wait and you will see what I will put upon him."
 I knew that old Kate was not the irresponsible, witless creature that people thought her to be. l had begun to think of her with kind of awe as one gifted above all others. One by one the things she had said Of the future seemed to be coming true.
 AS we were gsing into the house the sohoolmaster said:
 'Now, Mary, you take this lantern and go across the street to the house O Deacon Blnks, the constable. You'll find him asleep by the kitchen stove. Arrest his slumbers, but not rudely, md, when he has come to. tell him that have news O the devil"
 Deacon Binks arrived, a fat man with a big, round body and a very wise and serious countenance between side whiskers bending from his temple to his neck and suggesting parentheses of hair, as if his head and its acces- sories were in the nature of a side issue. He and the schoolmaster went out Of doors and must nave talked to- gether while I was eating a bowl of bread and milk which Mrs. Racket had brought to me.
 When I went to bed, by and by, heard somebody snoring on the little porch under my window. The first sound that reached my ear at the break of dawn was the snoring of some sleeper. I dressed and went be- low and found the constable in his coonskin overcoat asleep on the porch with a long-barreled gun at his side. While I stood there the seAoolmaster came around the corner of the house from the garden. He put his hand on the deacon's shoulder and gave him q little shake.
