CHAPTER XIII.
The Bolt Falls,

Three times that winter I had seen
Benjamin Grimshaw followed by the
Silent Woman clothed in rags and
pointing with her finger.
The trial of Amos came on. He had
had "blood on his feet" as they used
to, say, all the way from Lickitysplit
tc Lewis county in his flight. having
attacked and slightly wounded two
men with Il bowie knife who had tried
to detain him at Rainy Lake. He had
also shot at an officer in the vicinity
of Lowville, where his arrest was eff
fected. He had been identified by Ill
these men, and so his character as a
desperate man had been established.
This in connection with the scar on his
face and the tracks. which the boots
Of Amos fitted, and the broken gun
stock convinced the jury of his guilt.
] remember we'll the look of the
venerable Judge Cady as he pro-
rOunced the sentence of death upon
Amos Grimshaw. A ray of sunlight
slanting through Il window in the late
afternoon fell upon his gracious cOun-
teLance, shining also, with the softer
light of his spirit. Slowly, sOemnly,
kindly, he spoke the words of doom
1t was his way of saying them that
first made me feel the dignity and
majesty of the law. The kind and ia
therly tone of his voice put me in
mind of that supremest court which
is above all question and which was
swiftly to enter judgment in this mat
ter and in others related TO it.
Slowly the crowd moved out Of the
courtroom. Benjamin Grimshaw rose
and calmly whispered to his lawyer.
He had not spoken to his son or
seemed to notice him since the trial
had begun, nor did he now. Many had
shed tears that day. but not he. Mr..
Grimshaw never showed but one emo
tiOn-that of anger. He was angry
now. His face was hard and stern. He
muttered as he walked out of the
courtroom, his cane briskly beating the
floor.
The Silent Woman-as ragged as
ever-was waiting on the steps. Out
went her bony finger as he came down.
He turned and struck at her with his
cane and shouted in a shrill voice that
rang out like a trumpet in his frenzy:
go way from ME. Take her away.
somebody. 1 can't stan it. She's KILN
ne. Take her away. Take her away.
Take her away"
His face turned purple and then
white. He reeled and fell headlong.
like a tree severed from its roots, and
lay still on the hard, stone pavement.
1t seemed as if snow were falling on
his FACET grew so white. The Silent
Woman stood as still as he. pointing
al him with her finger, her look un-
changed. People came running toward
us. / lifted the head of Mr.. Grimshaw
and laid it on my knee. 1t felt like the
head of the stranger in Rattleroad.
Old Kate bent over and looked at the
eyelids of the man which fluttered
family and were, still.
"Dead!" she muttered.
Then, as if her work were finished,
she turned and made her way through
the crowd and walked slowly down
the street. Men stood aside to let hers
pass, as if they felt the power of her
spirit and feared the touch of her gar
ments.
Two or three men had run to the
house of the nearest doctor. The crowd
thickened. AS I sat looking down at
the dead face in my lap, lawyer who

quite hard when her father and moth

evening.

her mother as she picked up her knit

out of the door, his cane rapping the
floor as If his arm had been stricken
with palsy in a moment.
Mr.. Dunkelberg turned to my aunt,
his face scarlet, and muttered an apol
ogy for the disturbance and followed
the money lender.
"Come on, Bart" Uncle Peabody
called cheerfully, as he walked toward
the barnyard. Lets go an git in

He paid no attention to our visi
tors-neither did my aunt, who fol
lowed us. The two men talked to-
gether a moment, unhitched their
horses, got into theiy buggies and
drove away.
"Wal, I'm surprised at Mr.. Horace

"Wal, amt" said Uncle Peabody.
"Or Grimshaw has got him under his
thumb-that's what's the matter.
You'll find he's up to his ears in debt
to Grimshaw-prob'ly."
AS we followed him toward the
house, he pushing the wheelbarrow
loaded with sacks Of nuts, he added: :
"At last Grimshaw has found some
thin that he can't buy an he's awful
surprised. Too bad he didn't learn
that lesson long ago."
He stopped his wheelbarrow by the
steps and we sat down together on
the edge Of the stoop as he added:
