Amens the yeung msh in my youth twas

AZ midnight when the horn VAS sounding. and
sood few more vowed they had done so than
ever did, but Henry Bird he feared no evil
reveTs, being shed with the sheon OF righteous
ness and sirt with the shield of truth, He'd
gone there more than once 10 show he was not
afeaFed OF the devil or his works. but he was
young, and, alas! he didn't know that when the
Prince OF Darkness can't set IN by the front
door he'll force window or even come down
the chimney, For the house Of the soul has
plenty OF weak spots. and nobody knows em
better than the Enemy es Mankind.
Wen, Henry he fell IN love with Jemima and
fRts willsd that the danger spot in the man
should be touched by thar innocent woman. lie
was a pusziing character without any doubt.
and. though nobody could ever say ,hs. he
weren't an honest man. and didn't believe all

broke out Of his eyes and voice.
, Tell this" he said, "and tell me true.
Is there anybody else coming between us? Is
there another man you love- Jem? I've right
to know that, and I'm going to know"
She was frightened. but didn't show 1t. She
looked away out over the tree tops and heard
the horn humming under her feet and replied
very quietly and truly:
"No, Henry. There's no man in my life."
With that he went at her like a flame of fire,
implored her to take him, and kneh to her,
touched the hem Of her garments and showed
her in half minute he was beside himself.
But she kept her nerve and prayed to God
in her heart, and told Henry that she could
never take him, and begged him to remember
his manhood and let her be. Then he broke
loose and cursed her for a hard hearted giget
who had ruined his life; and she his love
turned to bitter hate, and feared every minute
he'd seize her and fling her down and break
her neck She mpored him for his religion
to keep tight hold on himself, but he was
raging mad and he told her that il she
didn't promise to take him he'd bawk her up
iii the tower and leave her there to die.
"None comes here once in a month, as you
know" he said, "and here you'll starve and rot,
and nobody be the wiser, for they'll look for
you in Plymouth. and God judge me. when
once leave you If ever I'll come back"
She prayed him not to damn his soul with
such wickedness and asked him how he would
gain by putting her to cruel DEATH but he

he far past reason. Then she knelt
to him in her turn and implored him not to
do such an awful thing.
With that he threw her the stones and
rushed down the steps, and she heard him m>put
home the great door and heave timber up
against it from wood stack, and make it fast
against her. He worked for half an hour with
cut word, and she screamed thrice SO loud
she might, but there was only him to Near
her, and for answer came the whistle of the
train mile away In the valley. Then he
shook his fist UP at her and raL off and was
lost in the darkness
He crashed away, like 4 wild creature, and
the Devils Horn seemed to blow blast of
triumph, but Jemma didn't hear 1t, because
she tainted after Henry gone. But her
