CHAPTER xx.-contlnued.

Ryan recognized that the time for
action had come. On his side he had
the overwhelming brute force which
would enable him to do as he pleased.
Kelly had turned to look into the
ria's outburst. What Ryan had said
had reminded her of her own power.
Stand where you are. you infamous
thugs! Must tell you the truth to

exclamation. II am the daughter of

Something in her bearing made
them feel that she was telling the
truth. Kelly. timid now and apollo

Ryan's method of beating retreat.
He can't git away, anyway" Kelly
whispered to him.
Gloria breathed a sigh of relief as
they turned to go. but in an instant
the shrill scream from Ella which
brought the men back to the center of
the room froze her blood.
THE boss daughter!" 1t was a
witchs screech ending in peal of un-
earthly laughter.
Gloria sank into . chair gasping.
"What have l said?"
She felt the curse upon her.
Come back, Turkey, come back"
shrilled Little Ella, laughing wildly.
"The boss daughter! The boss
daughter!"
Her thin hands plucked at the cover
lid, and her blazing eyes were fixed
upon Gloria, who had shrunk into
weak lump in her chair. Only few
moments had passed since all had
admitted that Little Ella dominated
the situation. That fact she recog.
nized as readily as did the others.
Now she determined to make use OF
her power. Gloria herself had aroused
the savagery Of the woman by having
infiamed her against the boss. not
knowing that the creatures rage was
directed against her own father.
Feverishly stimulated to an unac-
customed mental acuteness by the
thoughts of her wrongs as Gloria mad
lain them bare. all the cruelty Of the
woman's nature asserted itself. Re-

Had Been Sentenced to II, But Govern
or's Council of Massachusetts Ac-
cepts Ill Health Plea.

Boston, Dec. l0.--;By vote of six tc
one, with two not voting, the governors
council yesterday decided to pardon John
a. Hall, former treasurer of Southhridee
Savings bank, who has served four of a
II to Is years sentence for stealing more
than 100000 of the banks funds. lie
was pardoned on parole conditions.
Halls wife, who made a plea before the
council Tuesday, was the first to hear
the news yesterday, and she secured the
pardon papers and hurried to state pris-
on. Arrangements were made to release
her husband so that he could go home
with her Councillor rockingham was
the only one who voted against granting
q pardon to Hall.
From those in favor of pardon ii was
learned that Hall has suffered keen men
tai anguish since his Imprisonment and
that this has brought on i'll health.
Halls pardon was opposed by the state
board of parole and Bank Commissioner
Thorndike. Councillor rockingham, who
voted against pardon, made the follow
ing statement relative to the case:
Il believe that the people and The off
cials Ol tHe people enoulu aJ no tltie rose
sight of the gravity of this mans or
tense. This man stole 100000 in a pc
Rod running from Is to 90 years, from
the depositors of a bank, many of them
large families of small means.
His offense was so grievous that JUS
tice demands that he serve more than
five years of that sentence.
"The people should never be given to
assume that a man with money can do
anything he wants to-"
During the latter part of his stay at
state prison, Hall was confined TO the
hospital He aged great deal during
his confinement. Hall started in the
banking business when Is years old and (
began stealing two years later. His .
thefts continued up to a short time be-
lore he was arrested.
He was trusted employee and we'll
liked in Southbridge, partly because of
lis generosity. Although he was earning
Dut $500 as treasurer of the bank, he
ave twice that amount each year to the

Hall was arrested he gave up all IFS

gan its annual convention here yester
day. Many prominent speakers are OF
the program for the three-day session.
The convention was opened with al
address by Secretary Bryan.
In his annual address Senator Rams
dell of Louisiana, president of the con-
gress, denounced recent attacks on the
river and harbor bill passed at the last
session of Congress and the filibuster
which resulted in the practical defeat
of the measure.
ssTo assert that river and harbor bills
are full of pork, graft and corrupt
items" he said, lis to charge that the
United States engineer corps of the
army, members of the rivers and harbor
committee of the House and commerce
committee of the Senate, and majority
of the senators and representatives who
advocated and voted for these measures
are guilty of fraud, corruption, graft and
plain stealing. Such an accusation is
false"
Senator Ransdell denies charges that
the rivers and harbors congress was a
lobby. Its activities, he said, had been
confined to creating an intelligent senti-
ment in favor of proper improvement of
worthy navigable waters.
Senator Ransdell declared that during
l6 years in Congress he had never known
