CHAPTER X.

'It's Gentleman Parker's hiatt" ex-
claimed old Morley taking it from
Mary's yielding hand; for at sight of
her lovers guilt she had sunk down
unconscious upon the settle.
And who is Gentleman Parker?"
asked Wilson.
THE fine young chap I towd you
of" remarked the native who had an
gered Wilson by telling him that Mary
was already engaged.
whats wrong?" asked Jack Mead
ows, striding to the bar, somewhat
distraught in appearance, as he well
might be, for he had just said good
by to his mother and to Kirkstall for
ever, and had looked in at the Star
and Garter on his way to meet the
London coach, whats wrong?"
AS he spoke he saw Mary and raised
her from her seat and looked around
at the people about him with amaze
| ment.
They were no less astonished than
he; they had not recovered from the
awful revelation Of the hat-Mary's
CONSERVATION, her faint and the gen
eral feeling that she had unconscious
ly betrayed her lover.
what is it?" Mary asked as she
sighed and looked at her friend. Jack
have you Gomez"
Eyes. What can do for you? What
is there to be done?"
She stretched out her hand and ap-
peared to be looking for something.
"What is it," Jack asked, and
glanced around him as if he not only
questioned Mary, but the whole room.
Yes, yes" she exclaimed, snatching
at the hat which Morley now held
toward her. Good night" she said.
goodnight, kind friends; won the
wager for you, Mr.. Barnsley."
81 am to blame, fear" said Mr.
Wilson, in that matter; but what has
happened, l wonder"
Something awful, reckon" said
Morley. "She said 1t was murder, and
nothing short of that would have
frightened our Mary"
She had leaned upon Jack Meadows
and left the room, and Jack was happy
in his misery-happy that she would
have rested her hand upon his arm;
happy that in her trouble, whatever 1t
was, she should have distinguished
him before all others, as If he were
her natural protector.

.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,
thowing It's rider heavily
Almost at the same moment Foster
sprung forward tgsTh ais hiding place
on the right, Pie Parker stepped into
5.le 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
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 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 flrst!" 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 mel suddenly
exclaimed Foster, "close with him,
curse you, close with him"
The Squire was too busy to say any
thing except to gasp "ruffian!''

tives which seemed to give him

He had seized Foster round the
waist with his left hand, and was
trying to strangle him with his right
Suddenly, by great effort, Foster
dragged himself and his adversary tc
their feet, but only to be thrown in the
most scientific fashion.
Before the Squire could follow III

She smiled b melancholy way
that was unusual with her, and look
Ing round the rol IN, said: 81 will go
and put my shawl on and win the
wager for Mr. Batnsey. But how will
you know that I have been to the

"Yes," said Wilson, with prompt
courtesy, "asuredly we will 1t is not
a wager to be proud of after all, I'm
thinking; but we will not make it
more unworthy by conditions, unless
you will let one of us go along with

THAT would be a pretty how-do-
you-do," said the native whom Mary
called Mr.. Barnsley mo, lass, thee
bring bough from told elder tree in
t'aisle, can't be no mistake them"
And Mary started on her enterprise
nothing 10th, for her mind was weight
ed with melancholy thoughts, and she
felt that run over the windy foot
path to the abbey would be good Tor
her.
Moreover, the abbey had become
sacred not only to the monks and
nuns whom she had dreamed of in the
past, but to her lover. Richard Park
err, with whom she had explored every
corner of it. She remembered every
spot they had sat-and full of these
thoughts she went joyfully on her way,
determined to stand by the seat under
the old elder tree and, while she
plucked the branch which the COM
pany at thu inn required, breathe
Dicks name, and give the wind as it
blew down the aisle fresh message
of love for the dear fellow who had
ridden along the London road with her
ribbon in his hat.

moon once more emerged from the
stormy clouds the ruffians paused with
muttered; Curse the wind" as his
hat was blown along the aisle, stop
ping almost at Mary's feet.
Would he follow it," was the
thought that once more terrified her.
She shrank to the furthermost cor
ner OF her shallow retreat, and chung
to the trunk of the rugged elder in an
agony of despair But the second man
said with an oath: Come on; you can
get the cursed hat when the job is
ended" and they took up their load
afresh and disappeared beyond the abb
hey walls.
The moment she could no longer see
the ruffians, the awful fascination in
which they held her abated.
She crept from her hiding place,
sliced the hat, and with the speed of a
hunted fawn bounded into the open
and fled irrespective of dead or living
She had recovered all her sense of
freedom now that she was in the
meadows. She knew that she could
outstrip pursuit even il she were fol-
lowed; and, spite of the possibility OF
having to pass the murderers, she
made straight for the path to the mill
pond and flew over the welcome
bridge.
They were too busy with their horri-
BILE work-Richard Parker and his vile
companion-to note the flying shadow
that fell upon them for a moment as
Mary rushed past, like Fate, with the
evidence of their identity in her hand.
and with which token she staggered
at last pale and breathless into the
inn, standing in the midst of the
startled company unable to utter a
word
The freight fell tenderly upon her,
as she leaned upon the arm of the in
gle-nook settle for support.
Both Taylor and Wilson rushed
toward her, but her uncle waved them
back, and, stretching his bony arm
about her, said:
What is it. lass? Have you seen a
ghost, you look 30 scared!"
Her lips moved as If she would an
swer but her voice was silent.
"Give her water" said Taylor.
"a nip of brandy" said Tom, the
man-of-all-work, who had gone
straight to the bottle the moment he
saw her come in, and handed it to Mr..
Taylor, who pressed little to her lips.
Then she sank upon chair, and,
waving her hand as If for air or ST.
lence, she said in voice that had
only been hushed for sheer want of
breath (never perhaps before or since
had the space between the inn and alb
hey been covered by human feet so
quickly):
There has been murder DONE There
are two of them, and this is one OF
their hats"
AS she called attention to the hat
she looked at 1t for the first time
and lol the freight was cleaning on
the bright cockade which she had
worked for her lover, Richard Parker.

The Eight.HOur BILL.

We have before us a pamphlet Of
nearly forty pages entitled Reasons
Based on Constitutional Law Why Bill
II. r. 3O7C, Fifty-fifth Congress. Should
Not Be Favorably Reported by tho
Senate Committee on Education and
Labor That is the Eight-Hour bill.
concerning which hearings are now
going on before the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor
The pamphlet contains a long. ex-
haustive and notceably able argument
by Judge MCCAMMoN, all of which seems
superfluous after the quotation Of this
clause in the bill:
No iaborer or mechanic shall be permitted TO
work more than elrh, hours in any one calendar
day
This proposition is ridiculous enough
To condemn the bill without further
argument, II almost makes forgotten
the gloomy opinion credited by the
newspapers yesterday to Mr.. JAMES J.
HILL of the Northwest, that our pros
perity had touched its highest.
