I aak Demission to speak in my own behalf." Janet Lee lifted her bead Broudlv. All yea were turned npoa her. the son's rays streaming la through tbe window bathed her in golden light. Her beautiful headthere was no ahsplier head in Now England was upheld with the pride of the Lees, her clear-oat features impressed all there with a sense of her beauty, while her eompaaare and courage appealed to tbe sympathy of ail around her. Men and women eased at her in odor, maryelinc at her self-posses sion. Sinoe my fathers apprentice is the osbr witness asainst na and arjoeara as my accuser. I eraye the imrUeae of questioning him." boremor vanionn wfusperea wita nts associates. "These is no objection." Janet seemed to era in stature as she torned to her father's apprentice, -whose eaoatenanoo Betrayed a jpertaroeol spirit. "Esra asty. if all who so to Will's Hill are in league with the evil one, why may I not accuse you of being in league I esa prore by Ana hero I followed yoa to see. what yon did with the sake and "How do von know it is wrons' to cm to Will's Hilt? THd yoa ever see the evil one, or witch, there? . zra Easty hesitated and twiee choked down the swelling in hi throat before he answered. "Polly Goodman swore she taw the evil one on a Monday." "With boms and fUmine eras. " added Janet, ironically. "She saw the barns," said Esra, doggedly"And a barbed toil did she not say twea like the Soke of an anchor?" Tea: 'twas like a flake, she said, and so terrible she fell in a faint." 'And tost their her sister, Ann Bigger, no no behind mu father earn. That was tbe evil aaa her sister Folly saw." One of the magistrates smiled, and some of the people held down their beads to conceal their merriment. "Has not Ann Bigger your promise to marry her?" Janet aker abruptly , as if it was a matter of comae. " Tia false!" Ann exclaimed. "1 never got bis promise," whernpon Deputy Danforth coughed, and the women' put their handkerehiefs to their faees. "Tkeft'twas you who askad her, Esra was that tbe way of it? 'Most I. answer herT said the appranttoe, shifting bis feet, and evading the glaacesiraf the carious crowd. "It is not neeesssry," Janet' continued, briskly. "Why, all here heard yoa call on Ana Bigger to bear yoa one." "Is my affairs aad Ann Bigger's to be brought up here?" the appreutioe demanded wrathfully. Bat Janet demurely replied: "Ton brought Ana in, not I. Has Ana cot made yoa some and go at bar bidding?" "No more than Arthur Proctor there comes at your bidding. " Janet, tamed to the magistrates with the utmost composure and said: "Arthur Proctor bag asked me to marry him, aad I have given my promise," Then, addraasing her father's apprentice eain: "Did you not sy to Ann there was nothing short of death you would not risk to plaaaehart"- , "Is it fair Ana's affairs and atiae should be made pabHe? whined the apprentice. . "Is it fair or manly to make my affairs pabHe you who betray your mastar?" Tbe people now prioked up their ears as Janet's voice rose. She turned to Depupty Governor Danfortll directly, and, pointing to Esra Easty, continued: "This man is ungrateful to my father. In bis pitifal cowardice and ignorance he attributes motives to me snob as animate creatures like himself. If this poor wretch, who dares not took me in the faee, be not my acouser, then so much more to be to be pitied, for he must be the tool of another. I am as innocent of the charge brought against me as anyone bare. 'Twould be as fair for me to charge tbia poor wretch as for him to testify against me. And when yon listen to a tale of this sort yoa invite all who have a grudge against another to perjure themselves, as this man hss perjured himself. Were I on the scaffold I would say ao toss. I will say to the end that malice is at the bottom of this matter, and I will assert ray innocence." When Janet Lee ended her speech with suppressed passion, the listeners looked at each other. It was plain that all were favorably impressed. The Judges coasaJtod and comsrartdod John Lea to be "Jobn Las," said Governor Daaforth in a aiaansT that indicated indecision, "yoa have a brother named Kartin?" John Lee bowed. "Do yoa know where your brother is nowf" "I do as." "When did you see him last?" "It will be two weeks to-morrow." "Lst Dorothea Lee be sworn." When Mistress Lee arose all the women in the room drew a long breath. All present know her to be a woman above reproach, and one whose kindness was proverbial. "DssntbeaLse, when did yon last see your husband's brother, Martin Lee? Dorothea's lips moved. She tried to peak. Suddenly those near her sprang to her aid, bat too late, for Dorothea Lee dropped limp upon the floor. There was a eommotioa, some shooting for air, others oalliag for iiqaor or water, in the midst or which Dorothea rose, and looked about to a dazed manner like one waking from a sleep. Deputy Danforth spoke to the magistrate oa his toft, who resumed the examination. "Tour husband says it is two weeks sinoe be saw hi frotW Hartia. Did yoa see Urn then?" Dorothea bowed. "What passed between them? They had soma angry words?" Again Dorothea inclined her head. "Your husband taxed bis brother with great felly? "Be did." "Whea Martin Lee walked away, did 'W JtaSR 9 Ptbjd JeJWfMft wkeKsi

not been bora to bring disgraoe oa the name of Lee, aud did he not hope never to see hi f oe again?" Again Dorothea strove to speak, and again her tongue refused to oboy her. "Officer," said the magistrate, "let Ann Bigger be sworn. Ann Stepped forward briskly. Her tbngad was hot tied like that Of her mistress, "Ann, were yon present when Martin Lee parted from his brother1?" "I was, and beard all that passed every word," "I never knew Ann to miss anything that was going ou," said Janet, quietly, at which there was a laugh, "State what you heard, Ann." Ann's manner was free and unconcerned as she gUbly told her story. "My master wondered what bi ought his brother there after di -gracing the name of Lee, Much was s iid about the pride of the Lees; as if there was none like the Lees. Jblln Lee wished Martin had never bean born. Murtrii said be had done no wrong, and it would be more like the pride of the Lees if h;s brother John would take hit part, aud not join with others against him. Then John flew into a towering passion and bade Martin begone, lest he should surrender him (o the sheriff. Then Mistress Lee and Janet interfered, and th.it. made master worse. He said ho wished Martin Lee were dead, and for his Sort the sooner he was out of the way the slter. Then Jnnet Lee, who is prouder than her father, as all know, said if 'twere true that Martin killed tbe Marshal's horse and sheep by cutting their throats in that oruel manner, she could see him well out of the way; that it would be blistering disgrace his presence in Se lem. Bat it would never do to let h:m ban"

When Ana ended, Janet said, in an audible voice: "HoaTen's will be done) We a-e greatly wronged by this malicious creature. As for John and Dorothea, they stared at Ann in amazement. They were so dumfounded that neither could speak. The magistrates consulted again, and Deputy Donfoi'th spoke in solemn tones: "Janet Lee, tbe evidence is deemed sufficient to justify the charge of witchcraft, Then be paused, as a murmur rose, for many there were surprised at the decision of the magistrates, and did not hesitate to express their wonder. "Bat," he continued, "there is another and more serious charge prepared against you." He spoke -to the magistrate on his left, and the magistrate, looking at a paper he held in bis band, addressed Janet Lee: . "Janet Lee, although diligent search has been made, Martin Lee is nowhere to be found. Ann Bigger swears John Lee-wished him dead, and you agreed, bat said it would sever do to let him hang! Dorothe t Lee admits the brothers Quarreled; that they parted in anger. Janet Lee has been found on Will's Hill at night, when all others avoid it. All these things warrant the belief that Martin Lee has been put out of the way by his own people, to prevent him from suffering the consequences of his eiimes, and the evidence warrants us in holding Janet Lee on the charge of witchcraft and murder." Dnrinar the delivery of this sneeab. Janet, Dorothea, and John Lee looked at the macistrates with paling races, When the last word was uttered, Dorothea Lee amazed all present by throwing all near her aside, and confronting the magis trates, as she cried, in a voice that was heard by those outside: 'iwnot noia Janets xw i wno am the guilty one! 'Tis I who was on Will's Hill? Janet is as innocent as any of yoa who sit in judgment on her! I will pro claim it with my dying breath) It was I wno went to wui s nm, ana it was rrom my neck, not Janet's, that Ezra Easty plncked the handkerchief!" Dorothea's avowal amazed a1! who heard her. bat it fell with crushing effect on her husband, who rose, staggered -like one drank, then putting forth a band, as if reaching for something to steady himself, sank osck upon his seat, and bowed his be id upon bis hands. Again the magistrates consulted, amid tbe confusion and mariners that ensued, and once mora the voice of the magistrate commanded silonce. "It is the opinion of my associates that the extraordinary circumstances you have witnessed justify us in ordering Janet and Dorothea Lee to be confined in Ipswieh Jail until such time as they shall moke final answer to the charge of witchcraft and murder," Long before ho concluded, Dorothea Lee famted dead away. Then confusion feigned in the old Meeting House. CWAPTKK XVH. OBIZZIS 1TEATJE AXS INTJTAX JOB, The authorities immedi-ately sent to Will's Hill, whore Martin Lee bod hid himself. But there was no sign of the sailor, nor wasthere any evidence that any one had boon there. When the ofilcers reported this, rumors of all kinds were circulated. First, it was said that although no sign of Martin Lee was found, a hole was there large esesgh to bury adozen in. Janet Lee and her mother, after making way with Martin Lee, bad called in tbe witches' aid.and bad buried him so deep he never could be found till judgment day. Seoond, it was said Martin was, like his sister-in-law and niece, in league with the devil, and had beencaught by the heel by the evil one and dragged down into the earth, sad thus was in hell then, where all witohee and their familiars were sure to go. Third, the hole was a deception. It was freshly made, as all could see, and Martin was near at band, and concealed himself in it, but whoever put a foot near it slipped and fell into it, snd wis in d. ngor of being dragged into the bowels of the earth. The officers, knowing this, and fearing for their lives, reported no one was in sight, Tbe manner in which the devil figured in all these stories demonstrated the bold that fear of tbe evil one hod on all tbe people of Salem. There were sensible men and women who were amazed at these stories,' but they were discreet. They knew that to attempt to set tbe public right would but subject them to suspicion. They wisely kept their own counsel, and were thus andiBturbed at their own firesides, whereas, had they avowed boldly what they afterwards averred, they might have saved human lives, and lessened the period of the greatest folly ever known in American history. Whore was Martin Lee? If be wag murdered, where was he buried? the officers of the law asked. And if be were alive, why did he not m oke himself known? If he were alive, yet did not show himself, and save his relatives from death on tbe scaffold, what wss his crime before be killed John Wiuslow'sborse and sheep? These were the questions the authorities propounded, and which remained unanswered. Now, however, a new witness appeared. This was Indian Joe, who related with great minuteness of detail bow he witnessed Martin Lee cat the horse and' lamb's throat. Questioned why he had not made tbe truth known at onee, Joe answered be stood in awe of the cruel man. He feared that the man who did these things would kill him. He also feared, in ease no .stranger could be found, tbe crime would be laid .upon him. So now all Salem knew that Martin Lee was a great monster, and had always been a monster, and was well out of tbe way. And because bis own people bod made away with him, it were well to hang them all together. When the gossips had agreed oa this; a fresh sensation awaited them. Daniel Meade and his wife Grizzle went before the judge and made oath that the man who murdered their only son was in truth Martin Lee. Questioned why they had not made this known at tbe time, they both answered they didnot know it was Martin Lee until subsequent events; tbe arrest of Janet Lee and her examination and the testimony submitted revealed the truth; how the ailor they hod lodged, and was now murdered by Janet Lee nnd her mother, had quarreled with and shot their son. Then the gossips of Salom had mors to talk about than they could do justice to in a week. On (he evening of the day that the landlord of Globe Inn and bis wife charged Martin Lee with the murder of their son, Giles Ellin walked into Globe Inn quietly, and seated himself at a table near tbe fire, where be could obBerve all who entered, himself in the shadow. There were many customers that evening, but Giles Ellis did not remain to keep them oompany. Bis errand wai fit lb landlord aod-his wife Ha fM

In the inn, .i solitary visitor there, wfcaa the landlord poured him out a glass ol wine, and stood noar bim, at bis custom

er s service. Grizzle Meade sat near by. Gilss Ellis took Up the wine, looked at it oritioslly, siDDed it si owl r. and saying. "Here's your gooi health," drank the wine off neatly ana repiaoeu me aiass ou ua same. "Thanks," said Grizzle. "This was a good day's work." Giles Mils nodded his head as be repeated the words "gooi day's work." "It was all we could dd," said Grizzle. "I think it will put an end to Martin Leo. If he bo alive, be will never be known in Massachusetts." "No." said Daniel Meade, "he will not dare to come b.iok on account of Jobn Window's horse and sheep. "lis more like he will return to sea." "No. He will not come book if he be aliveto be hanged for killing your son," said Giles, looking bard at the 1 indlord who did no, meet his eyes, but mode a pretense of stirring the fire. "Think yoa they will hang Dorothea Lee and her daughter," Grizzle asked. "It is a thing almost certain," Giles replied. "Unless it may be the judges are not really sure Martin Lee is made way with. There may be I Co not ajy this to be lepeated, nor must you quo e mo la this matter yon know Governor Banforth is my cousin, and it maybe some one has influence to savo Dorothea and Janet Lee from hanging but it will be a difficult thing to do. Hero Giles Ellis looked so wise tint bis listeners eould not help nodding iu unison and complimenting him upon ids relationship with the Governor. "Host beard what Indian Joe tells of Merlin Lee?" Giles inquired. The landlord of the Gldbe tun was opening his mouth to speak, when Grizzle pressed ilis toe hrd and said: "Never a word have we heard." Now the troth was tbe story had been told with great detail in the inn, but Grizzle did not wish to rob their customer of tbe pleasure of thinking himself tbe first to give them the news. Whereupon Giles told all that Indian Joe rehearsed to eager listeners aud very much more. Then again they all agreed that if Martin Leo really was in the flesh, he surely would sail around the globe rather than risk being hanged in Balem. And now Grizzle Meade poured out wine for the three the smallest glass for her husband and all drank to each others' health again. It did not seem strange to any there that their health was no precious that it needed much nursing and care. When Giles Ellis withdrew after applauding the landlord and his wifs for the prompt manner in which they bod charged Martin Loo with tbe murder of their son, and advising them to demand bis arrest and conviction, Grizzle Msade turned quickly to her husband. "Now, yoa can judge for yourself. This man has as much cause to dread Martin Lea's return as we have. Did yoa mark what he said about John Winslow's sheep and horse? How they were killed at such an boor, when all others tell as 'twas a good three hours later?" "Aye, l marked it, Grizzle." "And 'bow he met Indian Joe below John Lee's?" "And all the others tell us how these two met a good half mile on the other side of John Lee's," said Daniel Meade. "Well?" "Why" here Grizzle bent a scornful look npoa him "a babe could see bow 'tis. I tell you, Daniel Meade, 'twas no one else bat Giles Ellis killed tbe horse and sheep and paid his grudge against' Jobn Winslow." "I never thought of that. Grizzle." "And 'twas the first thing the very first thing came into my mind," answered Grizzle Meidc, "I do not want any better proof than I have that he killed John Wjnslow's sheep, but it would be well if we could let bim know, Daniel Meade, that there is a way to prove it, so do you keep jour wits about you, and be sore I'll do the same, for there is danger to yon and me as long as that man lives. He suspects too much now." (TO BB OOHTDIOED. Not Used to Repeaters. A veteran was talking tbe other day about; Ms first experience with a repeating rifle. "I was out on the pioket line," be tella us, "and a lot of Yankees kept shooting at us from the shelter of a pine thicket. Finally we- made a break for the thioket, and then wo hg31 it, Every fellow would pick out bis man, and then load and shoot, taking advantage of the shelter. "My Yankee got the first shot, and missed mo. As I -was only seventyfive or one hundred yards away I thought I would reach him before he could load again, so I made a dash for him. He stepped out from his tree and aimed, but I thought he was just trying to bluff, so I didn't stop till he pulled down on me. " 'My Iiordl I thought, 'that's tbe first rifle I ever saw with two barrels f I just halted, but thought surely his gun must be empty now, so I started for him again. Well, sir, he just stood there and bang! bangl bang I bang! like lailkin g a cow. I jumped for a tree mighty quick, I tell jou. I heard him just hollering behind the tree.- It tickled him mightily. I didn't know .what to make 'of it. I put my cap .out from behind the treo and he banged I banged! down on it. It scared me. I didn't know how long the thing would hold ont. Presently, though, I saw him bending over. His head was pro teoteS, but his back was showing, and I took good aim. The ball ploughed through the fleshy part of the thigh, and as he hollered I made for him. He had. dropped his ' gun and started to run, but he stopped and went book with me. "I carried that old gun of his back and it was a great curiosity to our boys. They never did believe that it could shoot sixteen times, and I couldn't prove it because he had only one load left, and we couldn't get any ammunition to fit the gun. So we broke up the gun to keep tbe Yankees from getting hold of it again." AtUmUi Constitutions Shirting Millions. The fire fiend eats up $5,000,000 a mor.th in the United States.

Kxtra Liability to Aalariat Infectlom. Persons whoso blood la thin, digestion weak and liver sluggish, are extra-Uabla to the ab tacks of malarial disease. The most trifling exposure may, under such conditions, infect a system which, if hoalthy, would runlet the mlaamatlo taint. The only way to seoure Immunity from malaria in localities wbtre it Is prevalent, is to ton and regulate the syatem by improving weakened digestion, enriching the blood, and giving a wholesome Impetus to biliary secretion.
