Our fee not doe liil paimt is sccnmL A I North Carolina, and haunting the Bells for vengeance an early settler who had buried gold and silver nnder a big rock near the Bell spring, and sought to have it exhumed and given to Betsy Bell then it was the spirit of an evil step-mother at last, when questioned by a minister and taxed with lying, it admitted itselt to be "Old Kate Batts' witch," and that it meant to worry old Jack Bell to death. Here was sensation with a vengeance.

Old Kate Batts, she of the riding skirt, was known to have had a slight disagreement with Mr. Bell. Neither he nor his family, though, took the witch's statement for truth. Their neighbors were less forbearing. Thereafter the witch was known as Kate or Old Kate, and held more than ever in awe.

It was certainly a most astonishing goblin. It could quote scripture in a way to astound the most learned minister. No transgression could be hidden from it- It searched out the most secret thoughts and proclaimed them from the house-tops. It took supreme delight in going to church, and later, when the minister came to the Bell house, repeating his sermon, mimicking him exactly. 21 rr.tl-atoUurti William Crosby leaky hose or hose without a nozzle or sprink Pawirr.
