BEWITCHED
[Orisinal.]
One bright summer morning mor«
than two hundred years ago, a ship
from England anchored off shore at a
settlement In Massachusetts. To the
people thing of the place the arrival of any-j
or any person was a subject of
excitement and they all went down
to see what the vessel brought them.
To their great joy besides stores there
had come a number of people to cast
their fortunes with them. The watch¬
ers on shore stood gfiplng under their
broad brimmed purlttm bats while a
ship’s boat unloaded tlie emigrants,
among them a young girl, who from
the moment her foot touched the lnnd
made herself as much at home ns if
she had been born there. She had not
been landed live minutes before her
shoes and stockings were off and she
was wading in the shallow’s, splash¬
ing the water, laughing and otherwise
disporting herself. The grim faces on
the shore formed a singular contrast
with the capering maiden.
‘‘Tell me,” said Ilezeklah Stonehcdge
to the captain of the ship, "who Is that
madcap wuo Is disgracing herself by
showing her bare ankles to our young
men?”
"She calls herself Abigail Rogers.”
"To which of the families does she
belong?”
"To none of them.”
"God help us!” exclaimed Ilezeklah
Stouchedgc, tin-owing up his hands In
pious horror.
At that moment Abigail Rogers’
back was turned to the shore while
she waded out toward a place where
a small bit of sand rose above the sur¬
face. As the water deepened she
raised her skirts accordingly. Then It
grew’ more shallow’, and she stood on
the little island, clapping her hands In
groat glee. She splashed her white
feet in the water, hunted for shells—
Indeed found more to do In the nar¬
row compass than many would have
found on all the const. Though all
eyes from the shore were fixed upon
her, she paid no attention to her ob¬
servers and when she had tired start
ed landward. But while she had been
sporting the tide had risen, and after
she had advanced till the water be¬
came so deep that she could raise her
skirts no further she stopped and cast
her eyes to the shore as If looking for
help. Sweeping the line of scowling
faces, she at last fixed on Hugh Sal
tonstall, a stalwart young fellow’, who
had been looking on with the others.
The moment he received the malden’B
glance he strode Into the w’ater and
carried her in his arms to the shore.
That was quite sufficient to stamp
her as a witch. Hezekiah Stonehcdge
took the captain of the ship Into his
house and wrote down all the informa
tlon he had to impart concerning Abi
ga j j Rogers. No one knew how she
had got aboard his vessel, for she had
not appeared till the morning after the
ship had sailed, She liml bewitched
tbe sa u ors w ho when she fixed her
,
eyes on them could not be made to
perforin their duties properly. This
stonehcdge considered all the proof
needed.
dowlTon^tL^and ™e”y pm who
saw what they considered his enthral¬
ment turned and went up toward the
settlement, fleeing lest they should
tbemse i ve8 come under the spell. Abi¬
gail wondered what had sent them
away In such a hurry. Young Hugh
endeavored to make her aware of the
terrible danger overhanging her.
“Why,” he asked, "did you put your
-
gelf Q gucb jeopardy? -
-The good God made me happy,” she
replied, "and I must be happy.
"How did you come to sail for these
shores?”
i «My uncle sent me abroad In charge
of a sailor, who hid me.”
| “Why did he do that?”
"i don’t know.”
: "Come with me to the house in which
I live. There are women there, and
j.jj gee r j can persuade them to pro¬
tect you.” believed that „ . before ,
The young * man jailed

cabin. Hezekiah Stonehedge and oth¬
ers stood afar watching him. On reach
j
a ff r ighted as the others, took the
g | ri to her heart and gave her refresh
erg t0 assist hlm> t0 demand the body
of the witch. Hugh Saltonstall met
him at the door.
••The witch is not here,” said the
young man. “An hour ago we put her
by the chimney to rest. Suddenly there
was a gust of wind, and she vanished.
Rushing out of the cabin, I glanced at
the sky. She was not there; but, look¬
ing below, I saw her going down to
the water with a sieve she had taken
from the chimney piece. When she
reached the verge she launched the
sieve, got into it and sailed away.”
"She has bewitched you,” said Stone
m^iflied o"°told ff C
the t r uth, and he
searched the place. He found nothing,
for Abigail was hidden In the clock

on the captain to take her back to Eng

upon investigation uncovered a plot

Her uncle had bribed a sailor to take
her aboard the ship. aDd after her de
