inch a month. From time to time, sections accelerate the pace. The slipping first was noticed in 1924. but many believe it had gone on many years before that. Some attribute the slipping or settling to huge underground cavities dug by the miners who built the town. Others think it is caused by the location of the town, literally built on the side of a hill so steep it is almost K precipice. Visitors often complain when they sleep in Jerome hotels of hearing noises at night. Some are frightened by the explanation (hat the town is falling. Residents of Jerome take the matter philosophically however. The “sinking spells” have been going on for years, and while they may be getting a bit worse, patching ami fixing, and the destruction of an occasional building when necessary for safety, are deemed adequate remedies.

The yohfiffSter imagines that he has seen the real thing. Swiftly* the news circulates among the superstitious villagers ihat the Devil had trysted with an unidentified woman. Barbara keeps meeting Koger secretly and he teachs her to dance a few steps of the gavotte. She goee through the steps at home alone* When Questioned, she mockingly tells her family that she is dancing with a handsome gallant. This adds fuel to the witch ecaie that is burning up the village.
CHAPTER V
QHRIEKS and gibbering* roused •J Barbara from happy sleep. The tenitied face of Abigail Goode was thrust In at her door. "My Ann is sorely Uken* Barbara Jumped front her bed. “Send for Dr. John.” Nathaniel has gone for Mm. Ahd for the minister. I misdoubt it Is a
possession.”
The child was rigid on her bed, her eyes open and fixed. From time to time she uttered choked words of jargon. When Tlbuta approached her she howled, and Barbara's approach was her cue to perform a quite expert spasm. Little Ann had well learned her lesson from the Rev. Mather's treatise on bewitchment, which she
had filched.
Dr. John, arriving and making examination, was at Hrst puzzled. Not so the Rev. Parris who came in accompanied by Elder Morse; his diagnosis was Instant and positive. The child was bewitched. Symptom after symptom he adduced and as ha recited them the patient gave a convincing exhibition of each. It was Just a little too faithful to the text for Dr. John’s suspicions. IIo sent Barbara from the room, whereupon the supposed victim concentrated on Tituha, until the physician dashed cold water upon the performance by whispering: “If you don’t quit this foolery, I'll leather the devilment out ot your tender hide with a saddle-strap." But the damage was done. The Rev. Parris and the two elders, Morse and Goode, dad reacned a decision. A church meeting was to he called at once to handle the emergency. When the trio left, they took with them the blackwoman, bound and moaning. There was little sleep In Salem. It was after three when Jeremiah Adams, leaving the adjourned session. brought the news to his guetu “There has been Hell's own work this night. Roger. Neither reason nor pity Is in them: only fear and the cruelty that ft breeds. They so broke the spirit of the old blackamoor that sh# confessed to witchcraft and will try to shift the Durden ot guilt by testifying that others lured her to It and so save her svretched neck.” “Others?’’ What others?” demanded Roger. "She did not name—” "None Is named as yet. But t fear. All the women of Salem are to be convened on the Common next Sunday to confront her." Roger leapt from his bed. “I ride
tonight.”
Go without bidding his Jove farewell Roger would not. Still watching over the patient, those of the Goode household heard a weird tap-tap-
ping on the clapboards, about tha I yon.” But she was far frum feeling first light. ! .my certainty of anything. "Witch raps.” wMuinered Abigail I Still old Tituba was silent.

GOVERNOR PICKS “SUPER-BEAUTIES”
In ' the roar of the crowd.
I “Who else?”

Tituba’s roped arms writhed, as it she were striving to point. "Elizabeth Hopkins,” she shrilled. This tirhe it was a woman’s wail as those near-by shrank from the contamination ot the accused.

"My friends,” began the harsh faced churchman, ’’Ills Majesty's Province of Massachusetts has been sorely allllcted In many localities and at divers times, but never so dangerously as now. The people of Cape Ann have barricaded their houses against the terror by night. Fearsome apparitions have been seen In the midair. A flight ot winged witches In this direction has been attested by godly witnesses, occurring a few nights ago. The
There was a pause. Elder Morse shouted: "Full confession. Satan's chosen must ho revealed to the last
foul offender."
The deformed girls terrified visage peered up across Barbara’s shoulder. The confessor's roving
look fixed upon It.
"Susan Abbott.’’ she babbled. The girl collapsed with a broken moan. Barbara, carried away with dread and pity, cried out: "No: no! It's a cruel lie. You've frightened her into accusing innocent people." Through the shocked hush Elder
scourge is upon us. The child of a Morse’s harsh bass sounded. Only

The blood spattered from hi* mouth as Dr. John's fist srashed into it. Martha Harding's laughter, high, Insane, rose. "He defends her. My husband defends the witch. She
has made him hers.”
The stricken man crawled to his feet. His eyes burned upon the wretched negress. “Go on. Go on. Who else?" His fingers formefi th«
hangman's loop.
In the grip of deadly fear. Tituba still recognized what was expected of her. “Barbara Claike, Chris' forgive me.’’ she sobbed and fell to tha
earth, convulsed.
