"STRENGTH SHALL BE GIVEN THEE".
On the evening of the day of the trial, Mrs.Tynan, having fixed the new blind to the window of Shiel Crozier's room, which was on the ground-floor front, was lowering and raising it to see if it worked properly, when out in the moonlit street she saw a wagon approaching her house surrounded and followed by obviously excited men.

Once before she had seen just such a group nearing her door.

That was when her husband was brought home to die in her arms.

She had a sudden conviction, as, holding the blind in her hand, she looked out into the night, that again tragedy was to cross her threshold.
