Bow the Spell "Waa R-aovad from

some sad experiences i s his yoczarer days.

out, for all fhat, I knows is touch aboui
witches, and can. tell you as much abou
'era," as the next.
''I settled, out West here after the Ihjins
aad ail been druv off, and so me and my
wife hadn't nothing to fear from them ; but
;here was other critters about in these h re
liggings nigh as bud, as I'm a gwine to tell
fou about.
. ."You must know that after I'd got thing
ixed up to suit me, I tuk to raising hosses,
laving a nateral incline for that ere animal.
I've knowed a hoss' eyer-sence 1 was old
jnough to know any thing. Hobody couldo'r
fool me in a boss. After two orthree years
igot things a jogging in the right kind of
ityle, and was doing a purty decent busi
less for a man of my means and education.
"But then come my fust trouble. "An old
womanj - called the vVidder Groat, living
ibout two miles off, come over to my house
mo day to borrow a peck of Iniln meal. My
Kite she let her have it, and the old witch
ihe went off good-nater'd enough. A week
went by, and she didn't fetch it back, but
some agin for anotyssr peck, .telling some
ind of a story about being disapp'inted and
on. Howsomover, my wile she didn't be
ieve her, and wouldn't let her have no
core till she paid up, and this time she went
iway mad, and said that rich people that
wouldn't help poor folks wouldn't git along
lone too well, and that we might look oui
jo see the .Lord pay us off for our meanness
xl a way we'd feel it. If she'd a said Satan
jistead of the Lord I reckon she'd a come
nearer the mark.
"Well, about a week after that I went out
to see after my hosses and found five of 'em
ck in a way I'd never seed hosses afore :
and the minute I looked at 'em I knowed
Mother Groat had begun her de'ilish work,
irid I didn't have much hope to cure 'em,
chough I went in f..r trying what 1 thought
was best. It didn't do no good, though
ihey all died in grout distress and then
some more of 'em was tuk in the same way.
got a hoss-doctor to come and see 'em, but
he couldn't tell -what ailed 'em, no more'n
me, and they died, too. But when the third
lot was tuk I thought it high time to try
so'thiug else; and, backing my saddle-hoss,
rid ttiirty miles to see a woman that told
fortius and sich. She-was a big, fat thing,
with a. purty sharp eye, and. knowed a
heap. ' ' .........
' ' You've come on important business I'
says she, as I leaped down from my pant
ing hoss, and hurried into her house.
"'I has,' said I; 'what is ill

said. ' v J' .
" 'Yes,' said L, 'that's true,' wondering
all the time how she could know. .
'"You've lost,' said she; and there she
stopped, and looked right curious into my
eyes.
" 'I have; but can yon toll me what!'
"I did-that jest to try her, like.
' ' 'I can tell you, Baid she, 'but It might
cake me some little time to git at ail the
particulars, and every minute is so precious
to the success of what you're after.' '
'"It is,' said I; and 1 went on to tell her
all about the hosses.
" They're bewitched !' she said, right off,
without stopping to think a minute.
" 'That's itr I cried. 'I knowed it.'
" 'There's an old woman in the scrape !'
she said. " .
." 'Exactly 1' I replied. . . '
"'Let me see L' . she sort o'-mused; 'her
name is ;
"'Groat!' I said.
" 'The very same,' said she ; 'and I'm glad
you know it yourself, for now you'll be ready
to act as I tell you.'
"It's wonderful, sir, what that 'ar fortin
tcller knowed. She catched at the name
of Groat the minute I spoke it; jest as if
she'd knowed the old witch all her life,
ind I s'pect she'd never sot eyes on her
nutber.
"Well, she told me to go and git some
tansy, some dng-wocd roots, t rid mix 'em
vitb some yarbs she giv me, and put 'em in
a pot, along with a lot of pins and neeuier
and bile 'em all together for two hours,' caf

though she mightn't let on; and if thu
didn't take the spell off of my hosses, t

else as would. I wanted her to tell me tin

small bit to ride but she s . id as ho w it 'ui
break the spell to tell me the second afori
the fust was tried; and so 1 had to go bonn
with what'd I'd got, which I paid her fiv
dollars for.
"Well, sir, I rode home, and tried th
yarb spell as soon as I could git all thi
things together, which was the next day
and after I'd done so I started over to thi
Widder Groat's, on pretense to ask hei
about her health and the corn meal; bu
really, you see, sir, to find out how the
thin s worked. The old woman lived in

wo i saw at once as now the charm wat
doing the business beautiful. Things didn't
look thrifty round about, and the shanty
was kind of shut up like. I knocked on the
door, jest for form's sake, and a faint voice
told me to come in. I went in, and there
lay the old Woman, stretched out on hei
bed, grunting with pain.
' 'Oh, she sniveled out, as soon as she
saw me; "it's you, are it, Uncle Billy? I'd
glad to see anybody, for I's feared I'd die
here all alone.' ;
" 'Whet's tha matter, Mother Groat!' 3

" 'But I can't draw her face,' I said, 'be

" 'Oh, make a round mark for the face,
and then make marks for the eyes, nose and
mouth, calling her by name all the time
that'll do jest as well.' -
" 'And will that kill her?' I asked.
'"It will hurt her a good deal,' shesaia.
'if it don't do nothing else, and may-be it'll

" 'And s'pose it don't?' I asked. ,

"Well, sir, I come home ag'inand set to
work on the new spell. I cut and pounded
up two silver spoons and some pieces ol
money into bullets and went out into the
woods with my gun, drawed the old witch
on a stump, and let her have one on 'cm
right through her head. The next day I
went over to see what had come on't and
found old Mother Groat stiff and dead in
her bed. Yes, sir, the bullet had done for
her, and I s'pect Satan had got her soul, ac
cording to his barg'in with her."
A suggestion that she might have died of
starvation and disease was treated by the
superstitious Uncle -Billy with scorn and
contempt It was astonishing how ignorant
people were on the subject of witches. She
was not the only one who had been put out
of the world in that way; he had heard of
many others,' and had some other expe
riences himself. '- ',
"But what about the horses!"
"Well, I only had to' shoot four of 'em
after the old witch died," he said, "and then
the rest of 'em got along right nice."

-.The base-ball of to-day, as produced at
Natlck, is made by hand, writes a Boitou
correspondent The laborers employed in
the work are nearly all girls: : '
.The spherical core, of best rubber, is first
carefully wrapped with a given amount of :
the most costly yarn.
When the ball has thus grown to about
two-thirds of the size it is to be a lcathor
cover is stitched on with a needle and
waxed thread.
This cover has the effect of keeping the
ball compact and in shape, and of regulat
ing its elasticity.
j.nen more yarn is wound noon it until it
is found to turn the scales at precisely the
right point . , -
riaally the outer cover of horsehide is
sewn on, and the bait; after being stamped
and again weighed to make, sure that it is
just five ounces, is wrapped In tin foil, nut
into a box with Hve more-like it, and de
clared ready for sale. ' '--
The cover, as an examination of a base
ball will show you, is stamped out of the
