Master Raymond's Little Plan Blocked.
"Our game is blocked!" said Joseph Putnam to Master Raymond as he rode up one afternoon soon after, and dismounted at the garden gate, where his guest was awaiting him, impatient to hear if anything had yet come from Captain Alden.

"What! Captain John Alden!"
"Yes, Captain John Alden!"
"On what charge?"
Master Joseph smiled grimly, "For witchcraft!"
"Nonsense!"
