JOHN w. MORTON, Mountain Home


The expression of his face was no
so much of terror as of mortal sick
ness. He made movement to rise,
but 1 do not believe he had enough
force left in his body.
"Now, Bill, sit where you are,
said the beggar. "If I can't see,
can hear a finger stirring. Business
is business. Hold out your left hand.
Boy, take his left hand by the wrist
and bring it near to my right,
We both obeyed him to the letter,
and l saw him pass something from
the hollow of the hand that held his
stick into the palm of the captains,
which closed upon it instantly.
"And now that's done" said the
blind man, and at the words he sud-
denly left hold of me, and with in
credible accuracy and nimbleness,
skipped out of the parlor and into
the road, where, as l stood motion
less, could hear his stick tap-tap-
tapping into the distance.
It was some time before either
or the captain seemed to gather our
senses; but at length, and about the
same moment, 1 released his wrist,
which 1 was still holding, and he
drew in his hand, and looked sharply
into the palm.
"Ten o'clock" he cried "Six
hours! Wen do them yeti" and he
sprung to his feet.
Even as he did so, he reeled, put
his hand to his throat, stood swaying
for a moment, and then, with pc
culiar sound, fell from his whole
height face foremost to the for.
l ran to him at once, calling to my
mother. But haste was all in vain.
The captain had been struck dead
by laundering apoplexy It is a cur
ious thing to understand, for 1 had
certainly never liked the man,
though of late l had begun to pity
him, but as soon as l saw that he was
dead I burst into a flood of tears.
It was the second death had known,
and the sorrow of the first was still |
fresh in my heart.
