This business rapidly grew into one of the most extensive and important in Birmingham; was continued by him until the day of his death, and is still in active operation. Having sold his house at Springfield to Mr. Barker, the Solicitor, he removed to a house at the top of Newhall Hill, then quite in the country: This house is still standing, but is incorporated with Mr.
But a woman's muffled scream was the answer. With a spring like a cat Loring threw himself on the intruder and bore him down.

"Heigh-ho," sighed Newhall, with a sepulchral yawn; "Sunday has come at last, and I am glad. It is called a day of rest, but is no day of rest for me.
