not more injured than he himself Into
his brain snot the idea Of possible es-

Without waiting to reason out wheth-

toward the hedge that lined the road.

He heard the men crash through the

would start across the lawn, as he had
first intended 10 do.
There was another bright flare OF
lightning which made every twig and
branch OF every bush stand out clear
for the hundredth part Of a second.
Dick felt sure for the rest of that sec
ond that he had been seen.
Then he concluded that they had been
looking in the wrong direction. The
light would leave them blinded for
half minute. He ieaDed over the board
fence that bounded the lawn.
Hardly had he touched the ground on
the other side when four or five more
shots were dred and two bullets whiz-
zed dangerously past his ears. There
had been a flash just as he was at the
top Of the leap.
The hedge had ended with the fence.
He now found himself In an open grove
of huge trees OF these he could see
hardly anything. but his hands told him
that there was no wall or hedge be-

Taking a wild chance he darted across

her retTeatlng figure, and saw hat she
walked YEARLY. The frm uprightness
Of her carriage seemed TO have van
ished. She appeared as one carrying
a heavy load.
The men hurried him along. The
storm which had threatened since mid
night seemed TO be nearly upon them.
The roll Of thunder could be heard dis
tinctly, the lightning flashes grew
quicker and brighter
The wind came in gusts whirling the
dust Of the road about them and into
their eyes. The men took fresh chews
of tobacco TO clear their mouths Of grit.
One Of them offered Dick a bite from
his plug.
Such kindness seemed strange to him.
He could not understand how men. who,
few moments since. had lighted the
fire to burn him to death, could offer
him what they regarded as a luxury.
He was really mistaken as TO how
they regarded chewing tobacco. To
them II was an absolute necessity, such

face The wind suddenly paused, as
though gathering strength for greater
effort From the tops of the hills came
the sound Of pouring rain
Ihen the storm came IN all its FURY.
First huge drops splashed upon the
three men, each drop finding its way
through their coats to their shoulders.
An instant later hailstones began to fall
as big as marbles.
The two rushed Dick under the shell
ter of a tree.

IN Jest naOW," o &c of them said to the
other "It'H be by in q mirnit or
Two"
All three sat down, the men still hold
ing Dicks arm in firm grasp. II was
an unnecessary pIecaution. He had no
intention OF trying TO escape. Too well
he knew that they were armed, and
would shoot quickly and accurately.
They sat thus for perhaps tire mir
utes, when this first rush of the storm
ceased as suddenly as it had begun.
They arose 10 their feet 10 take advan-
tage of the lull.
They had not taken two steps when
in sheets of fame. Together with the
crash of thunder like the perfectly
timed roar of a hundred cannon, they
could hear the swapping of the timber
in the tree against which second ago
they had been leaning.
The three men dropped as though
each bad been hit crushing blow with
an axe from behind. Dick lay stunned
for q minute or two. Then, realizing
that lie had once more escaped serious
iniUr! lie craWled unsteadly to his
feet.
IN ne C5rkness he strove 10 make out
the hg les Of his qua rdi6ns. One OF
them Stirred, groaned. then lifted him

lapsed.
it was. however, only a temporary
breakdown. Within a few moments,
when water had been dashed into his
face and the rope about his waist had
been removed, he came TO.
It seemed to him that he had heard
an echo of a voice bidding the crowd
begOne. When his eyes opened he saw
only the faces of the girl and of two
Of his late tormentors
With struggle Dick sat up.
Things seemed TO whrrl about him in
the tOrchlight But ne resisted the
impulse to lie down again. After he
had drawn a few deep breatEs. he felt
strong as a man could feel who had
been through such experiences as his
He arose to his feet. For a second
he forgot that he might not 90 away.
His only thought was to thank the
girl for having saved his life. The
strong hands of the men we're in
stantly laid upon him 10 remind him
that he was still a prisoner.
You can bring him up 10 our barn.
III send out some stimulants and you
can watch him there for the night"
the girl said.
But ne knew now that he could walk
10 his cell He knew also that this
beautiful girl believed him the murderer
of her father.
Under the circumstances he could
not accept even the meager hospitality
she had offered He understood we'll
enough why she could not bring her

give me a drop of stimulant."
One Of the men drew flask from his
rocket Dick swallowed a little of the
whisky. II was uncommonly bad
whisky, but it braced him. He started
to walk, held firmly by the arms on
each side.
When they reached the gate in the
iron fence before the wide lawn the
girl turned to leave them.
Remember. she said, II hold you
responsible for the safe return TO the
jail, and for his being left there in
safety
You may trust US. Miss Lulie,' one
Of the men FASTENED to assure her.
But the other was less timid. and
could not keep from speaking his

For a full minute the girl stood
staring Dick in the eye. Once OF twice
her body sWayed and he thought she
was going 70 fall, Her lips grew pale,
her eyes disteuded with horror.
In that minute Dick realized that for
some reason the girl had not believed
him guilty. had Tis ked her life 10 pre-

her face he read the trutI-that she

BERKELEY, Jan. Undermined
that the new charter, which will go
into effect April /, shall have chance
10 stand or fall upon its merits, its
advocates and friends are agitating a
plan by which the present municipal
deficit viii be cared for by special
bond election, and the commissioners
who viii be elected to handle the
affairs of the municipality will be per-
mitted to enter upon the duties of
their offices with a clean municipal
slate awaiting them.
To complete the new town hall
$4,000 will be required, while the
general and school funds at the present
time show a shortage of $4,000 each.
If the proposition to call a bond cleo
tion is approved by the trustees there
is every probability that the issue will
be made large enough to provide for
a restoration of the police and fire
departments and the street lighting
facilities TO their normal basis This
would require, in all probability, an
issue Of bonds to the amount of
$4,000.
