A new impulse has been given to this out-station work by contributions received at one of the missionary meetings in Northfield, Mass. Four new stations were provided for at that time by the contribution of $400 for a building at each station, and $300 for the support of the teacher. One was the gift of Mr. Moody, another of Mr. Sankey, whose names these two stations will bear.
This repulse did not check for a moment the activity of the Indians, though for a long time we hear nothing more of Philip. On the 2d of September they slew eight men at Northfield and on the 4th they surrounded and butchered Captain Beers and most of his company of thirty-six marching to the relief of that village.
Just then the reporter in the next room asked Esther by direct question what he had been urging by innuendo: "Was there anything in the conduct of your friends while at Northfield or in London which indicated that they were unduly familiar?" Before time for reply, the reporter was lifted through the front door, landing beyond the porch.
Northfield hath stored away, that is to be sent to England to the son by a former wife. Though I believe the great hall the boy was to inherit hath a new heir, the old lord having married a young wife, 'tis said. The lad sent word that he would come over, but nothing hath been heard, and now there are such troublous times upon the ocean." "Nay, England is mistress of the seas.
It seems ages before his destination is reached. Rushing from the car, Charles soon procures a horse, and digging the spurs into sides of the animal, gallops homeward. At the entrance to Northfield mansion grounds his horse shies at a prostrate body just inside the gate. Dismounting, Charles is startled at an upturned bloody face. He recognizes one of the household servants. The body is yet warm.
"This morning the arrests were made, but without coöperation of our agency. "Paul has been at Northfield. He haunted the shores of the lake. Our employe sent from London saw Paul lurking in the woods, and followed him to a steep ravine. Here Paul vanished. The spy waited, screened by some bushes, expecting to see him again. This watch was continued until daylight.
Concluding that this four-year-old had clung to the rear of some passing vehicle, and then dropped off, without the driver's knowledge, Sir Donald will take her to his home and make proper inquiry for "Granny." Placing the hatless, barefooted tot before him on the spirited horse, he is soon at the Northfield mansion. The child eats ravenously.
"At this damp season it is better to stay away from the Thames." Pierre is much pleased at this changed temper, and smiles his great appreciation. Promising to return before it is late, Pierre leaves, both uttering soft-toned good-bys. After a long absence, Sir Donald and Esther are back at Northfield. Many parts of Europe and the Orient were visited. Father and daughter saw much of interest.
Just now he has little curiosity for London scenery. In fact, Oswald feels a lingering fondness for Northfield. But the prospect takes an unexpected turn. Esther's sense of the proprieties asserts itself. She likes London very much, and wishes to accompany her father. "It will be so nice to see the sights with papa!"
This confidence is contagious. Alice and Esther now feel that the case is won. Next day Sir Donald, Oswald, Esther, and Alice go to London. On the same train there is an odd-looking, strangely dressed, heavily whiskered man, who says nothing, but keeps track of the Northfield party until all enter the home of Alice Webster. Sir Donald learns that the plaintiff, William Dodge, is from Calcutta.
