Her lips moved as if she would an

Then she sank upon chair, and,

CHAPTER TX.

AS Squire Bellingham turned the
bend of the road where it narrowed
beneath the trees, his horse stumbled,
recovered itself with an effort, and
then went headlong upon the road,
throwing it's rider heavily.
Almost at the same moment Foster
sprung forward from his hiding place
.on the right, while Parker stepped into
the road from the left. Before Foster
had seized the fallen horseman, the
Squire was on his legs. The first
stumble of his horse had prepared him
for fall, which he had managed with
much dexterity, though he was by no
means unhurt.
n AS he scrambled to his feet the
Horse tried to rise, but in vain.
Stand" exclaimed Foster, Selling
the Squire who now faced him.
"The very thing I am trying to do,
by your leave" the Squire replied,
-clutching his pistol.
Hand over the bag that is fastened
to your belt" said Foster, snatching
at the leather wallet.
"Never, you ruffian!" exclaimed the
Squire, take that first!" He snapped
his empty pistol and closed with his
assailant.
Parker looked on, the fitful moon
light falling upon the combatants.
"Dick, he's knitting met suddenly
exclaimed Foster, "close with him,
curse you, close with him."
The Squire was too busy to say any
thing except to gasp ''rufian"
beast" murderer" and other exple
tiyes which seemed to give him
strength
He had seized Foster round the
waist with his left hand, and was
trying to strangle him with his right.
Suddenly, by a great effort, Foster
dragged himself and his adversary to
their feet, but only to be thrown in the
most scientific fashion.
Before the Squire could follow up
his advantage Dick Parker had him in
his vise-like clutch.
'Hello!" gasped Bellingham, whats
this? Another"
Resistance is useless, said Parker,
deftly cutting belt and wallet with his
knife and allowing them to drop to
the ground.
'.'You cursed ruffian!" exclaimed the
Squire, Il know you, and I'll bring
you to the gallows."
/ Don't be rash," exclaimed Dick,
releasing his hold upon him in order
10 pick up the money.
"And you, tool" exclaimed the
brave but rash Yorkshire Squire, you
are Foster, who supped in the same
room with me at York. I'll hang you
both" With marvellous dexterity the
Squire leaped upon his horse, which
started off at a gallop; but he was
hardly in his seat than bang, bang,
went Fosters pistols, and he fell in a
heap upon the road, the horse bound
ing of at furious rate homewards,
the clank of its hoofs through the
darkness sounding the death-knell of
its master.
by heavens, you've killed him!" ex-
claimed Parker, leaning over the pros
trate body, and then starting back as
he felt the hot blood of the murdered
man upon his hands.
damn him." I'm glad of it," ex-
claimed Foster in a thick hoarse
voice. ''He has half killed mean
other minute of this Internal grip and |
/ should have been choked."
This is the worst nights work We
have ever DONE" said Parker.
The best II. you have the money"
Foster replied.
Curse the money" Dick answered,
1T will be no good to us; we shall
never get free of this foul business"
Where's the bag?" was all Foster
said In reply.

was born IN 1853. His grandfather
founded the Berkshire paper mill
there in 1901. There are now foHs

the Berkshire, at Dalton; the Pho
neer, which is one of the largest
mills in the country; the Bay State
mill, and the mill at Pittsfeld, where
the paper used by the United States
government in the manufacture of
money is made. w. Murray Crane
has been the guiding and cOntrOll-
ing mind not only in the management
of these large paper mills, but in the
various other enterprises of the
Cranes of Massachusetts,. The Crane
mills are noted among workers as
never having had a labor difficulty,
and their principal owner has a rep
utatiOn for fair dealing with en-
ployes and public-spirited support of
undertakings for the welfare of the
community in which the mills are To-
Gated. Gov. Crane became extreme
ly popular during his first term as
lieutenant governor, and in the state
convention of 1899, when it was
agreed the then governor should be
satisfied with having served three
terms, NO name but Mr. Cranes Was
considered by the convention. He
has beea q member OF the republican
national committee and has a NUM-
Der Of times been a delegate at
