Come in here, poor soul, so ye can, cried Peggy's mother, opening the door of her little house across the street. She pulled in one Friend stunned and with blood on her beaten face. Sure the justice never meant to see ye handled so. Others followed the good woman's example, howbeit by so doing they called down heavy curses from the furious soldiery who rode at the men with a wicked violence that threatened life. A boy of ten years Old or thereabouts just then came riding down the road and seeing the turmoil reined in his pony, eying keenly one face and another Of the Friends. Mr. Pixley! Are you there P I'll go for help, and, turning sharply, sped back on his tracks, halting suddenly in front of a thick-set, tall man with a boy beside him, walking leisurely along the street. Justice Whaley, will you stop this outrage P cried the boy, excitedly. What outrage, young sir P and who may you be P asked the man addressed.
