I watched them as they walked to
the tavern sheds, both looking down
nt the ground and going rather un-

Sally Dunkelberg and her mother
came along and said that they were
glad I had come to school. I could
not talk to them, and seeing-my trouble
they went on, Sally waving her hand
to me ns they turned the corner below.
I felt ashamed of myself. Suddenly I
heard the door open behind me and the
voice of Mr. Hacket:
“Bart," he called, *Tve a friend
here who has something to say to you.
Come In.”
I turned end went Into the house.

The sealed envelope which Mr.
Wright had left at our home, a lopg
time before that day, was In my pocket.
At last the hour had come when I
could open it and read the message
Of which I had thought much and
with a growing Interest.
I rose and snid that I should like to
go to my room. Mr. Hacket lighted
u candle and took me upstairs to a
little room where my chest had been
deposited. There were lu the Yoom a
bed, a chair, a portrait of Napoleon
Bonaparte and a.small table on which
were a dictionary, a Bible and a num-
ber of schoolbooks.
"These were Mary’s books," said Mr.
Hacket. “I told your uncle that ye
could use them an’ welcome.”
I sat down and opened the sealed
envelope with trembling hands and
found In It this brief not*:

thinking of my discovery, since which,
for some reason, I had no doubt of
the guilt of Amos, but I spoke.not of
It to anyone and the secret worried
me.
Next morning on my way to school
I passed a scene more strange and
memorable than any In my long ex-
perience. I saw the shabby figure of
old Benjaipin Grimshuw walking in
the side path. Ills hands were in his
pockets, his eyes bent upon the ground,
his lips moving as if he were in deep
thought. Koviag Kate, the ragged,
silent womun who, for the torfunc of
Amos, had drawn a gibbet, the shadow
of whigh was now ujion him, walked
slowly behind the money leuder point-
ing-at him with her bony forefinger.
Her stern eyes watched him as the cat
'wutches when its prey is near it. She
did not notice me. Silently, her feet
wrapi>ed In rugs, she walked behind
the man, always pointing at him.
When he stopped she stopped. When
Re resumed his slow progress she fol-
lowed. It thrilled me, partly because
