Elaine drew back in the chair, horri-

nonchalantly.
The seven of them drew back rath-

Kennedy was a dangerous prisoner.
He calmly sat down in an arm

Gertie ran from the room.
For a moment they looked at each

"No-never," cried Elaine vehem-

Elaine paused, but she was thor

In spite OF every objection that Ben

little town where the woman asserted
she had been married.

'What-not ready YETI" growled the
Clutching Hand. "Quick-now-ge on
those clothes. l heard the train whis-

The crook, without word, went to
a closet and took out suit of clothes

She hurried into the church and up
into the belfry, thence up the ladder,
whence the sounds came.
The crook by this time had gained
the outside of the steeple through an
opening. Kennedy was in close pur-
suit.
On the top of the steeple was a
great gilded cross, considerably larger
than a man. AS the crook clambered
outside, he scaled the steeple, using
a lightning rod and some projecting
points to pull himself up, desperately.
Kennedy followed unhesitatingly.
There they were, struggling in dead
ly combat, clinging to the gilded cross.

me off my guard.
There were Kennedy and the other
crook, struggling, swaying back and
forth, between life and death.
There was nothing / could do.
Kennedy was clinging to a light
ming rod on the cross.

he managed to catch hold of the rod
farther down and cling to it.
The crook began to exult diaboli-
cally. Holding with both hands to the
cross he let himself out to his full
length and stamped on Kennedy's fin
gers, trying every way to dislodge him.
1t was all Kennedy could do to keep
his hold.
l cried out in agony at the sight, for
he had dislodged one of Craig's hands.
The other could not hold much longer.
He was about to fall.

window opening out from the ladder

was a revolver.
Just as the crook was about to dis

flash and puff of smoke, and second
later heard a report-and another
and another.
Horrors!
The crook who had taken refuge
seemed to stagger back, wildly, taking
a couple of steps IN the thin air.
Kennedy regained his hold.

AS Kennedy let himself slowly and
painfully down the lightning rod,
Elaine seized him and, with all her
strength, pulled him through the win.

in the belfry.
Craig looked down at his torn and
soiled clothes. Then, in spite OF the
smarting pain of his wounds, he
smiled, "Yes-all right"
Thank Heaveni" she murmured fer
vently, trying to stanch the flow OF

Maryland Week.

That Maryland is fast becoming
recognized throughout the country as
an apple producing State is evidenced
by the great number of inquiries be-
ing received by Prof. 7. B. Symons
of the Maryland Agricultural College,
who has charge of the Maryland
Week" to be held in the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory in Baltimore, Nov. IL
to 20, regarding the possibility OF
sending classes interested in apple
culture from other State Institutions.
He already has assurance that there
will be present in Baltimore during
the Maryland exhibition, representa-
tives from Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
Ohio, West Virginia and Delaware
The belief held by many for years
that good apples were grown only in
Oregon or Washington State has been
proven a myth and at several apple
shows in recent years, it has been
conclusively shown that apples grown
in Maryland and the Virginias have
a zest and flavor unexcelled by any
apples on earth.
Until recently, the western apple
growers have produced a fruit which
excelled the eastern product in size
and color, but now with improved
methods and more careful attention
by the orchardists nearby, this con.
dition no longer obtains.
Maryland, with its unexcelled ship
ping and marketing conditions, its
even climate and soil which is sus-
ceptible to intelligent treatment, bids
fair to rival all other fruit growing
States.
