Hetherington's body swayed, but there was no perceptible motion of his limbs. He met death with placid firmness, without bravado. Henry H. Haight, his attorney for years, stated that he was one of the most upright and honorable men in his dealings and general conduct that he had ever known. These were the last that suffered death by sentence of the Vigilance Committee.

Hetherington's cabin the morning after Gibraltar. She found the little lady propped up in her bunk, her black hair all over the pillow, her small face rising from a foam of pink ribbons and laces that seemed unreal to the girl. "Oh, my dear, how sweet of you to come to me! I am terribly ill terribly ill," she said faintly. "I am so sorry. Will I get the doctor?" "Oh dear no. I am often like this!

Hetherington happened in, accosted Randall and abruptly demanded the payment of the note. Randall responded evasively. Hetherington's choler rose, and he came upon Randall in threatening manner. Randall ran behind the office small counter. Hetherington pursued him, caught him by his long beard, reaching to the middle of his breast, and threw him upon the floor.

Neal is very confused in his account of the Assembly, and does not seem to have studied its proceedings well. In Hetherington's History of the Westminster Assembly there is a fairish popular account, compiled from Lightfoot and Gillespie, but charged with the author's strong personal Presbyterianism. None knew this better than the little knot of Independents in the Assembly itself.

I suffer terribly, my dear, terribly. My poor, poor head." Marcella had bought a bottle of eau-de-Cologne at Gibraltar when the Spanish merchants came aboard; she fetched it and bathed Mrs. Hetherington's aching head. All the time she was staring at her fascinating nightgown. It was the first dainty garment she had seen close to since her mother's death. "That is so nice, dear," she murmured.

Then with a look of unutterable love from her fast-dimming eyes, she closed them in death. That was why Prout, after two years of madness in a prison, had stepped on board Hetherington's schooner and asked the captain to take him away somewhere he cared not where so that he could be away from the ken of civilised and cruel mankind and try and forget the dreadful past.

We're going right up on the roof of the ship, and you're having a chair all to yourself so that you can write postcards to Gran." His face cleared immediately, though as they got settled in the shadow of one of the lifeboats and he saw Mrs. Hetherington's white figure walking along the quay he gave a little sigh. She addressed his postcards as far as his remembered stock of addresses would go.

I think that children need both father and mother, don't you?" "Yes," said Marcella dazedly, unable to follow Mrs. Hetherington's reasoning. "And you know," she went on, "I've a terrible feeling that poor Mistah Petah's loneliness might lead him to er Oh dreadful things." She dropped her voice to a whisper. "My dear I believe he drinks," she said, underlining the words.

Consequently, inasmuch as the fault was Hetherington's, he was therefore absolved from the payment of the note. One afternoon, Dr. Randall took quarters in the St. Nicholas hotel, on Sansome street, west side, between Sacramento and Commercial streets, kept by Colonel Armstrong, and sat in the office room, in conversation with Colonel W. W. Gift.
