This Is the legend of Patleuce Codwin as It has been handed down in our family for many generations of her descendants. Patience in the days when witchcraft had its grip on Massachusetts was a young girl. She won the love of Frauds Winthrop, who had been attentive to Jane llartshorne, and Jane for spite accused Patience of being a witch. A great deal of Interest was manifested In the trial, especially because Patience was so well beloved. The evidence brought against her was convincing. Young Winthrop when Jiis sweetheart had been tried and fdflud guilty said that he could not be present when she was burned, and he would no longer remain in a so called civilized community where such superstitions were rife and such cruelties were practiced. The day before the execution he left the settlement, saying that he would go and live among the Indians, tehi parting with Patience was distress^ m# lb the eiti'giiitr'ftna nvWifTiituiy moved anything but the ironbound consciences of the Puritans. The next day a stake was set up in a wood near the settlement and fagots laid about It in preparation for the burning, which was set for the hour of sunset. It was October, and there was a mellow haze in the atmosphere. Shortly before the sun went down the great men of the church and their families began to collect at the place of execution. Presently in the distance appeared a little procession, leu Dy me minister, w?u read from bis Bible as be walked such passages as be thought might exorcise the evil spirit that bad got into the poor girl. Patience came next, attended by her weeping parents and a few of her intimate friends. Now. It is not claimed that what 1 am about to narrate is a matter of history. Detailed accounts of those who perished by the witchcraft insanity have been given in histories of the times, but 1 admit there is no historical account of this case. It has merely boeu perpetuated lu the family. We must remember that those were a superstitious people, looking always I. 1 V-? ior iue marvelous, iv-i lueiv is uvmlng more remarkable in the witch plague than In the story of what happened at Patience (iodwin's burning. The condemned girl bade farewell to her parents, her brothers and sisters and her friends nnd with a resigned step approached the stake. She was bound, and the executioner was about to apply the torch to the fagots when the.setting sun broke through a cloud TIONAL BANK :RAW ^resident. 1, Vice-Precident.

A glory from hMTen seemed to be poured upon the trees, whose leaves still wore the autumnal colors, the group standing about the stake, and lit the face of the witch, giving a holy glow to her pale features. And then out of the western sunlight there came a figure dresued In a long white robe walking slowly. Whether man or woman none could say, for the long hair falling on the shoulders gave the figure a feminine appearance, while a sword pressed by the right baud against a large blood red cross on the breast seemed to indicate manhood. As the vtiitor drew near the face was seen to be white as marble, and n soft brown beard could be distinguished. As the man or specter or god. flooded by the yellow light, which every moment took on more effulgence, approached those about the stake knelt with bowed heads. Reaching the witch, he said h^t voice soft, but distinct: i ' ?*bomp-dTitr Satan!" m Then It seemed to those who saw that Patience writhed for a moment, after which her face shone with a holy light. Raising bis sword, the apparition cut the rope that bound her; then, taking her band, led her away In the direction from which he had come. Some say that the two figures were lost in a snowstorm that suddenly came up from the east, giving a still more wonderful appearance to the western Illumination as seen through the falling flakes. I have examined the records of the weather for the year In question and found mention of a terrible snowstorm that covered Massachusetts to a great dejdh. faUjng on verdure that had not yet been blighted. The legend says that Patience and the stranger were seen walking through this snowstorm in a gradually lessenI lng illumination, darkness Anally en veloplng them. ' T"> - 4 I - - - - Vf AflOQ. I Ulll'uce UttCl ICLUIUCU iu iuuouu chusctts, but after tbe witch craze had passed she was known to be living in Maryland, the wife of Francis Winthrop. Who the mysterious stringer was has never been definitely settled. In Massachusetts most people believed that it wus either the Saviour or St John. But in the family inheriting the legend it has been supposed that he was none other than Fr&pcis Wintkrop, who went away immediately before the execution for the purpose of working on the superstitious of the people and thus saving tbe girl be loved. It was not long after this that the witchcraft hallucination died out. and the people of Massachusetts wondered TOhot hml nngqpqnpri rhem. That branch of the Godwin family to which Patience belonged naturally found a more congenial social atmosphere In the south than among the colder blooded Puritans. Kept the King at Home.
