The girl wondered how long the ,ap-
partition had been standing there and
rapidly ran over in her mind what had
been said between herself and her com
pani0n since he came. Armstrong
spoke mp and, while speaking, proffered
his pass to the interloper.
"Sir, that document will possibly
satisfy all your questionings." The
stranger, taking it, held it near the
lamp and read its brief wording.

him. But her eyes turned Instructive

There was something masterful in his

1t was late in the afternoon before
they were on herse again, and they
logged down the road lat an easy am
bic. Newark was passed, but they did
not stop there longer than was neces-
sary to show their permission to travel,
for Newark had been a royal town,
garrisoned for the king and besieged
more than once. Armstrong had in
tended to stay the night there, but the
authorities showed some reluctance in
accepting q pass for two as convoy for
three, and it needed all the young
mans eloQuence and insistence on re-
spect for Cromwell's signature to get
old John past the barriers, so when
once this permission was granted he
thought it well to push on clear of the
place and risk the danger of camping
out beside the road.
His luck still stood his friend, and at
some ten miles farther on,
as the sun was setting, they came to
the ancient archway Of the Angel.

CHAPTER XIX.

AYEXT day the three were not as
" early beginning their march,
Il because Northampton was
barely fifty miles distant and
the day was longer than the way. The
good aandlady Of the Angel, busting
and 'vOluble, saw them off with many
blessings and wishings that God would
speed them. Stamford furnished bait
for their horses and short rest for
themselves. Then they took the de-
fecting road for Northampton, but
their pack horse limped and their prog
ress was slow. Frances was in better
spirits than was the case since the pill
grtmage began, for she had now per-
suaded her mind, which eagerly wished
to be convinced, that her future action
would save the lives of two men-Arm-
strong's not less than her brothers.
and so she had come to look upon her
unsuspectfng companion as her benefi-
ciary rather than her victim.
The day passed pleasantly enough,
even If progress was slow. Armstrong
related many interesting or amusing
anecdotes of the border, and the girl
came to the conclusion that life must
be anything but dull in that billy dis
artct. They partook Of their noontide
meal at hespitable farmhouse, for
inns were few and mostly untenanted.
They learned that it would probably be
dark by the time they reached North
ampton, but there was new moon to
light their way. They were off the
main line Of travel and had the road
practically to themselves. At about
8 in the afternoon they heard the
tramping of a squadron behind them,
coming On at rapid walk. Armstrong
suggested that it would De we'll to draw

easily on his horse, watching the some

them. Suddenly Armstrong straight

PARKER in CONNECTICUT.
Addresses Large Crowds at Bridgeport
and New Haven.


Bridgeport, Conn, Nov. 4.-When
Judge Parker's special train pulled
into the station here from New York
the Judge was received with an out
burst OF applause by the people who
thronged the platform. Mr.. Parker was
driven to the residence of General
Bishop for luncheon.
After the luncheon Judge Parker
was driven to the Third Regiment
armory, where he delivered an address
to an audience which taxed the capac-
ity of the building.
General Bishop presided and on the
platform were many prominent Demo
Gratis of the state. AS Judge Parker
entered the armory with General
Bishop the band played and the audi.
ence cheered for fully five minutes.
Before taking his seat Judge Parker
bowed in acknowledgment of the re.
ception accorded him. With very
brief Introduction General Bishop in
troduced the presidential candidate,
who spoke at some length.
New Haven, Conn, Nov. A large
and eager crowd filed the New Haven
station as Judge Parker's train rolled
in. There was cheering when the pres
idential candidate was recognized.
After exchanging greetings with other
prominent Democrats the party took
carriages and were driven slowly
through number of streets to Music
hall. The sidewalks were lined with
people and as Judge Parker passed
many cheers went up. Music hall,
which comfortably holds 1900 people,
was well ll4led before Judge Parker
arrived. The gallery had been reserved
for Yale men and applause was I'M
stintingly given by them as Mr.. Parker
took his seat on the platform. AS the
gathering was entirely informal there
was no presiding officer and Judge
Parker made his address as soon as the

in his mind for few moments, he re-
piled:

FAIRBANKS TOUR OF INDIANA.
Speaks to Large Crowds at Several
Points.

Greencastle, Ind, Nov. 4.-Senator
Fairbanks began his day of campaign
ing at Bloomington, where he made an
address to a large and enthusiastic
crowd on the courthouse square, the
students of the University of Indiana
forming large and noisy part of the
gathering and the senator's remarks
never failed to bring forth the college
yell. Several stops were made be-
tween Bloomington and Greencastle,
where there was another demonstra-
ton of students, those of Depauw uni
versity. The senator's addresses were
mainly along the lines of those pre-
viously delivered, being arguments in
favor Of continuance of Republican
power because of the prosperous con-
ditions which, he said, accrue from the
administration of that party.
