"Then lay It to heart," uald Foster;
"It Is likely to be my last!"
"You're beginning to weary me -with
your growls and throat3."
"Growls, not threats," Faster re
plied. I novor threaton In tho senso
you mean."
''And what is my idea of throats?"
"Tho satno as most of your other
Ideas."
"And what aro they like?"
"Ltko yourself, handsome and unre
liable." "I admit tho first charge, because I
cannot holp it; I did not make my
self." "Nor I," said Foster.
"If you had well, never mind that.
In what respect am I unroliablo?"
"In every respect; ask tho women
whom you know; ask the men you
profess to lead."
"Oh, am I really a loador?"
"Dltson, Jones, Wild, and tho rest
tbJnk so."
Do you?" "
"Sometimes."
"Only sometimes?"
"Look hero, Dick, you have had ev
ery ponny wo havo made since June. I
am hard up. Wo havo both borrowed
from Isaacs; you havo borrowed from
me."
"Well, who put money into your
purso and enabled you to lend? I will
not ask you to reply. I will admit a
certain laziness of late a holiday, If
you liko; but I will havo no more of
your scurvy tempers, Andy, do you
hear?"
"I hear."
"What tho devil la tho name of this
traveling bank of yours, this Midas
In disguise, this argosy on tho high
way?" "BeJlingham," Foster answered in a
whlapcr.
"Tall, sinowy, with strong hands,
clean-cut Jaw, iron-gray hair? He Is
in tho house"
"Ho camo from Jho back and wont
Into tho bar as Tom showed us up the
stairs."
Dick Parker had many accomplish
tncnts, and thoy gavo him power as
the chief of the enterprising company
of gentlemen, wIiobo headquarters
woto in tho metropolis, and whoso op
erations wero on tho marry English
highways.
Ho was a gentleman by birth and
education. His family had como over
with the Conqueror. One of his an
ccstora had eat in the Houso of Lords,
but had lost tltlo and ostatei for re
bollloun conduct. Another had been
hanged for piracy on tho high seas.
On tho other hand, there was a bish
op In his family, and his Bister had
marrlod a Spanish Don. Ho had a
wonderful faculty of observation, was
quick In resource, generous, fearless,
and had never taken a life, except
once, in a duel that was forced upon
htm.
Ho had danced with the Duchess,
whoso party ho had afterwards
stopped and robbed on tho way to
Bristol. He had taken a big purso on
Blockheath and gono straight to the
swell taverns in St. James street upon
which the present aristocratic clubs
rost their foundations, and doubled It
or lost It at cards. Ho had been tho
most apparently timid of inside pas
sengers In the York coach, and at a
favorablo moment mado tho rest of
tho passengers prisoners, while Foster
had ridden up and domlnatod guard
and driver with his pistols. His es
capades and triumphs wero themes of
admiration at a shady hostelry with
in tho sound of Bow bolls, where a
few cholco spirits, his frlonds and
companions, mot ns mombers of a club
of Merchant Venturers.
"Supper," said a thick volco at tho
door, after tho owner of tho voice had
, struck tho timber a strong hard blow
'necessary to mako an impression upon
tho ears of thoso within.
"Right!" said Fostor.
"Do you feel better?" Dick asked.
"I am hungry," Foster replied.
"After supper I nm going Into that
llttlo room, tho bar parlor," said Dick.
"No Incivilities mind."
"Lot iis go up to supper," Foster re
plied with no signs of better humor.
"I nm not Joking, Andy."
"I understand, and I mean busi
ness." It was a capital supper. Old Mor
loy himself placed tho first dish on tho
table.
Thoy supped in tho general room,
which waB furnished in old mahog
any. The oldoboard was brilliant
enough In its polish for a looking
glass. Thore was a whlto cloth upon
it. On tho cloth thore wero two great
bowls of celory, n Cheshire cheeso, a
sirloin of hoof, a Yorkshire ham and
a whlto loaf of bread.
CHAPTER III.
"Tho suppor consisted of n Joint of
stuffed cbino and a dish of partridges
dono to a turn, and with tho most sav
ory bread sauce that oplcure could do
sire. At anothor table in tho room was a
gentleman whom Dick had nlrcudy
christened Belllngham. Ho was sup
ping upon a hot stew of sqmo kind,
and the light fell generously from a
couplo of wax candles upon a starry
cut decanter of sherry. The Btranger
eyed tho other travelers curjbusly, and
Dick talked to his friend of their es
capo through tho French" cruisers

otherwise mado hlmaclt ahd Fostor

out to be very worthy and very loyal
persons.
After supper Dick usked tho land
lord If ho and his frlonds might crack
another bottlo of Madeira in his snug
gory, or smoko a pipe, or otherwise
mnke themselves nt home, being trav
elers who had not seen England for
some years owing to tho wars break
ing out In countries with which they
woro trading ns British merchants.
Morley, having consulted his niece,
gavo his consent, and upon tho little
table in the inner bar, Mary placed
somo fruit with tho wine, and a dish
of fresh walnuts, and sho hovered
about the parlor all tho tlmo thoy sat
and chntted, and uncorked a couplo of
her uncle's best Madoira; for Mary
had extra duties on tho night In ques
tion, otherwise she might havo sat by
the flro and Joined In tho conversation.
Tho bowling club members had held
tholr usual weekly meeting, and,
scenting tho first frost of tho season,
had mado It an excuso for mulled ale
and egg sherry; so that Mary was
busy with tho flush of her various re
sponsibilities on her bright cheery
faco. She looked in Dick's eyes moro
lovoly than ho had oven at first
thought her. Ho could not keep his
oyeB away from her, nnd ho thought,
being accustomed to conquests among
women, that Bhe was not displeased
with his undisguised admiration.
"Your daughter?" ho said, Morley
having spoken to Mary about tho
wine.
"My niece," said Morley, "and the
best nnd bravest girl In Yorkshire."
"Or In any other shire, I am suro,"
added Parker.
"And you may say that, I bellevo,"
said the landlord.
"You will excuso tho admiration of
travelers who havo seen none but for
eign wonches for Ave years," said
Dick; "It docs one's hoart good to soo
such a picture of health and beauty as
your nioce. What did you call hor?"
"Mary," said Morley. "Mary Lock
wood is hor right namo. She was my
BlBtor'B child, God rest her, who lies
with her good man in tho Kirks tall
churchyard this ten years."
"And so you took charge of hor and
became n second father to her?"
"That Is tho truth, whoevor may
havo made it known to you," said Mor
ley. "Many gucsta in tho houso?" asked
Foster, looking In an opposite direc
tion from tho person addressed, as
was his wont.
"No; York coach wont through with
full complement of passongors, but
nono got down, and she don't change
horses till sho gotB to Harrogate. Be
yond, yourselves and 'Squlro Belllng
ham, a married couplo from Derby,
and Harry DunBtan who flsheB tho
Airo every autumn, wo havo nobody
in the house; not as wo havo accom
modation for many moro, not laying
ourselves out for much custom In that
way."
"'Squlro Belllngham!" said Foster,
touching Dick with Ills boot.
"Well, wo call him 'Squlro, 'cause
his father before him was 'Squlro In
thoso parts nnd farmed most of tho
land; but his son well, ho's moro of
a morchant than a squire, for that
matter. Ho does business lu wool nnd
Is a bit of a broker in a way, and a
rare good gentleman, nnd strong. Ho
onco had a quoit match with my Mary,
I forget how many yards, thinking to
get tho bctctr of her by distance and
woight, but I won my bet I tell you
I won it, and ho give lass a new gown
Into tho bargain."
Old Morley chuckled at tho remem
brance of Bolllnghnm's discomfiture,
adding: "But ho boro no mallco, not
ho; ho Is n gcritloman, 'Squlro Belling
ham I"
"Does ho 11 vo hereabouts, 'Squlro
Belllngham?" asked Foster.
"Ho do, and ho don't," said Morley.
"Do, and ho don't," repeated Fostor
in his morose, grumpy fashion.
"A truveler may bo said to live In a
good many places, I reckon," snld
Morley, evidently thinking ho had
said something clover.
"That Is true," said Fostor.
"For instance, take yoursolf."
"I llvo In London," said Foster.
"Of courso you do, oxcopt and per
adventuro when you llvo In somo good
old hestolry on tho road such, for In
stance, not at tho saino time desiring
to bo arrogant, as tho saying is; such
for ln&tnnco, and peradventure, as tho
Star and Garter."
"You say true," answered Fostor
stolidly. "I mnko no doubt tho 'squlro
Is well content with tho Star nnd
Oarter."
"Tho 'Squire Is not well content
with anything," Morley replied. "Tho
'Squlro Is as warm as warm can bo,
and yet ho will go on laying up
riches; tho 'Squlro Is continually on
tho road; ho buyB in thla mnrkot, ho
sells in tho other; ho is partner In tho
bank at Leeds; ho buys cattle; ho sells
wool; , and ho ha one of tho finest
houses hereabouts: and best servants,
a groom ns can lmvo no cqunl; but be
ing a bachelor, ho is restless llko; and
must havo occupation, ns ho says;
though, mind you, ho don't caro for no
occupation In which thoro hain't good
salo and barter, and the like; though
thoro is no moro charltablo 'Squlro in
all Yorkshire"
"And a bravo man to boot, I hear
say."
"If you mean bravo in tho sense
that ho neither fee heaven nor hell,
becaus he lo & good man, and has n
reason to; If jva mean that he makes
no uccount of hlghwarmon and the
like, If you mtaci that ho In roady to
back his opinion with his money on
any quostion -why 'Squire Belllng
ham is a brave mnn; but If you agree
with me in thinking that to bo prop
orly brave you should also be cau
tious, then I think wo shall como to
tho conclusion that tho 'Squlro is not
bravo in tho right way, but rash
rash, sir, reckless, decidedly reck
less." "In what way Is he reckless?"
"In riding nlono nnd sometimes at
nightfall with large sumn of money
in his possession, with gold and notes
in his bolt or what not. Theso are
perilous times, sir, when the roads are
infested with men from tho wars, who
wont to fight only for tho fun of it,
nnd who, being nt homo again and out
of omploymcnt, are ready to fight
their own countrymen, aye, and to
slay them for that matter, for tho sako
of a booty over bo smallyes, sir,
over so small."
"But tho 'Squlro Is well armed, of
course."
"You novor spoke moro truly;
armed to the teeth, as tho Baying 1b;
armed back and front, and mounted
on a horso that can talk yes, sir,
talkl I'll bo bound that 'Squlro Bell
Ingham's groom has had many an In
telligent conversation with William,
ns was bred and broko on tho 'Squlro's
own farm."
"Then ho need, of course, havo no
fear, tho 'Squire," said Fostor, benting
his boots with his whlpstock. "Your
highwayman is no fool; I suspect ho
knows who ho is attacking. I have
rlddou over nearly evory highway in
England, and It is woll known that I
carry barkers that blto like tho devil,
and If any unfortunate ruffian had
had tho hardihood to stop mo ho
would not live to Btop any other hon
est traveler."
CHAPTER IV.
Had not Dick Parkor boon quietly
engaged In a conversation with Mary
ho would havo put a spoke into the
conversational wheel of Mr. Fostor.
It was woll agreed in tho company to
which thoy belonged that Foster had
no social gifts; that tho less he said
tho better under any clrcumstancos;
but ho plumed himself upon having
drawn tho landlord of tho Star and
Garter, though ho had not addod one
iota of information to that already in
tho possession of his chief nnd him
self. If Mr. Morley had boon as good a
Judgo of charactor as he was of a glass
of Madeira or had he been a man of
ordinary observation, he would hardly
havo been as frlondly and confidential
in his conversation with Foster as he
was with tho other stranger guest,
Mr. Richard Parker.
But Morloy, when he got tho oppor
tunity, liked to hear himself talk, and
Fostor was very willing to give him
all tho opportunity ho could deslro,
and also to put in a word or two him
self. It waB woll for Fostor that Mor
loy was as woak as ho was good-natured,
otherwise ho might havo bub
pected his guest's calling this gentlo
man, who wished it to bo understood
that ho lived in London, had much
moro tho cut of a freebooter than a
morchant; had much moro the appear
ance of a man to attack than to bo at
tacked. Foster had no redeeming qualities;
Parker had several. Foster was a
thick-set, colorless-looking person. Ho
had strong, heavy hands, long arms,
big feet, and a hard, rasping volco.
Ho was popular with those gentleman
who met now nnd thon nt that Bhndy
tavern In London, becauso ho was a
man of his word. He nover wont back
on anything he said or promised. His
persistence, his capacity to creep
whoro he could not walk to his quar
ry, his delight in his work, hlB phys
ical strength, made him next In im
portance, if not next In popularity, U
Dick.

Out of tho row Men Who Mave raid

Mr. David H. Moffatt. nresldenr nl
the FlrBt National bank of Denver,
Col., solved to his own satisfaction th
question of whether n man should
glvo up monoy to an assassin or not
Several years asro a man nmn into
tho First National bank and went into
Mr. Moffatt's private ofllce. In his
hand waB a bottlo containing a llcht.

"Mr. Moffatt," ho snld. "I am a .lea.

it, you and I nnd tho bank lnilldind

722,000. I want you to write out n
chock for that amount, take it to tin

"I don't bcliovo," nnld Mr. Moffatt,
"that tho man had nltro-clvenrln in

WOMEN MAKING PnOGnESS.
lutln Ward tln-TO llellorc tlm Fatara
1 Villi of Hope.
It seems very strange that after .o
many years women should still be
obliged to bog for equal suffrage, when
it has long nlnco been shown that out
claim is well founded, not only in
ideal Justice, but In practical wisdom,
and that It Is in tho direction of tht
tendencies of civilization. Our appeal
to tho legislatures has been refused so
mnny times' that to continue It seems
llko leading n forlorn hope. Yet a for
lorn hopo la glorious. To lead it is
glorious and to dlo In It la glorious,
and It often conquors, and I nm full
of hope, for what la right in Itsoll
must triumph in tho end. I foci as
sured that In tho near futuro tho co
operation of women in municipal and
state affairs will not only be desired,
but demanded, by men of puro and
worthy citizenship. Mothors, wives,
sisters, will no longer stand as sup
pllnnta before stnto legislatures, ask
ing that they may becomo politically
tho equals of men who profess to treat
them ns superiors, but who rcnlly com
blno to keep thorn in a stato of per
petual minority. Wo women havo
hitherto been a sort of reserve force.
During tho rough, .early age of war
faro man did the fighting, but wo cher
ished and nourished him. His blood
was In our veins nnd his courage was
our courage. Thank God, that period
of war has almost taken Itsolt oft; wo
aro nt tho beginning of a moro peace
ful period and now something moro is
needed than mu&clo nnd tho power to
do physical battle. Thero is need of
moral and spiritual force and wo havo
this stored rcsor'o force within us. Wo
havo learned much from tho men as
to how tho world should bo governed
nnd also Bomo things na to how It
should not. It seems strange that in
Puritan Boston wo should still bo ask
ing for municipal suffrago, while in
England and Australia and in our own
Western states women has exorcised
It for years. Aro wo, then, so Inferior
to thoso women? Or nro our men so
inferior to thoso men that thoy cannot
see tho Justness nnd sncredness of our
claims? But this reform is to come.
If tho men of this generation havo not
wisdom or courago enough to grant it
(I do not Bay that this Is ao) tho men
of a futuro generation will. If no one
of us ever votes wo havo gained this:
Wo havo stood for what was right In
principle nnd for what nil bo proved
to bo right In prnctlco. Julia Wnrd

WHEN THIRST INSPIRES.
Odd Mean Uc.ortctl to to Get the
Ncccmury "Eye-Opener."
"What won't Bomo people do to ob
tain a drink of liquor?" was a ques
tion propounded tho other day by
Lieut. Charles Colo of tho Central dis
trict Tho official answered the query
himself by relating two or three stories
of odd means resorted to to get tht

tho room was llko an icohouso. The
first thing that crossed his mind was
how to got n drink. Ho had no money
nnd tho next thought was how to get
somo. An idea struck him. Without
disturbing his companions ho aolzod

to tho nearest Junk shop, where ho sold
It for n small amount nnd got his

he and his friends parted company.
