CHAPTER VIII.

What Rainham had said about living
burial gave rise in Ralph's mind to dis
quieting supsicions. Was it his inten-
ton to starve them to death together in
this undergo ound hole? And what would
be their fate when their strength be-
came too feeble to contend with the
rats. His heart was stout enough to
face even this prospect for himself, but
the mere possibility as affecting his
tender companion chilled his blood. In
a moment he had controlled the weak
ness, and resolutely dismissing all
thought of such contingency, buOyed
himself up with a confident hope that
before then their jailers would certain
ly visit the dungeon to watch the be-
havior of the prisoners and gloat over
their sufferings. Then would his OPP
portunity come when he could rush
upon them out of the darkness, and
overpower them before they were aware
that he was no longer bound and help
less.
"Their curiosity will not allow them
to leave us alone" he said to Clara.

She clapped her hands with glee like
a child, and her joy lifted him into the
seventh heaven of delight.
"Let us secure that rope" Ralph
said, cit may be useful. l remember
that when they wound it round and
round me they laughed, and said that
it cost nothing. 1t may cost some OF
them more than they thought Of
The rope was found, and they SAT
down to unravel it as light of heart as
if they had been lovers 'under the
greenwood tree" AS they sat there in
tie darkness and united the knots, she
told him in anwser to his questions
how she had fallen into Rainham's
power.

before from hartford Priory by mix
ture of force and strategem. She coulC
remember very little of. the journey

the horses feet beat into her brain al
first with maddening monotony, but
after time the very monotony had &
benumbing effect, and she dozed un'
easily as in feverish sleep. From the
eager, excited manner of her captors
and their frequent looking back, she
could gather that they were pursued il
the first stage of their ride, but after
they crossed the Thames by the ferry
they rode more at their ease. 1t was

been about twenty years since the east
ern section of Wake county has been
represented in the Legislature
We have not always polled as credit
able a vote as would have been our
pleasure but as loyal Democrats we
have done our best without hope of re-
ward.
Now, however we ask for some re-
ward and wish to urge with earnest en-
phasis that you give is a representative
in the House We are quite sure we
have'to offer man of sufficient strength
of character and will, ample educational
oratoracle and moral ability to fill
worthily any position we can give him
We want as our representatives today
men who will act cautiously, speak
wisely and vote judiciously in all mat
tiers under all circumstances. Sober
men, honest men, broad minded men,
men in whom we can trust, Daniels, who
will dare to have a purpose firm and
dare to make it known. 1 feel we can
safely say we have just such man in
the person of r. e. Sentelle, of Wake
field, N. G.
Fellow Democrats, we can make no
mistake in casting our full vote in the
primaries for him and afterwards elect
ing him to the House of Representatives.
Yours very truly,

Baltimore. July 21.-An air line from
the Great Lake to the South Atlantic
seaboard is made possible by a deal
which has been practically contaminated
by the Union Trust Company of this
city The Union Trust Company has
just completed arrangements to finance
the extension of the old Ohio River and
Charleston Railroad from the coal fields
of West Virginia to Lincolnton, N. c..
1t has been decided also, it is under
stood, to extend their road northward
to Ironton, Ohio, where it will connect
with the Detroit Southern. Samuel
Hunt, president of the latter road, is
also president of the Ohio River and
Charleston, which was recently taken
over by a new company, known as the
South and Western.
At Lincolnton the road will connect
with the Seaboard Air Line, with which
company close agreements for the inter-
change of traffic have been made.
The line will be the shortest from the
West Virginia coal fields to the sea and
if the extension to Ironton is built, it
will give the Seaboard an independent
and short route to the Great Lakes.
