JEWELRY IS STOLEN

Newport, R. I„ July 31.—There was
posted today In the Caalno a long list
of Jewels that were etoten from society
women at the Venetian fete In the Ca
sino Saturday night. The Identity
of the victims was not made known
The, loss of such a large quantity, of
Jewelry at a single gathering has
caused great alarm, among the fash
lonable and wealthy cottagers. Many
women known to possess Jowels worth
a fortune paid hurried visits to the
safety deposit vaults, and It Is certain
there will be no such lavish display of
gems at a seml-pybllc entertainment
such as the Venetian fete again until
public confidence Is restored.
Yes, he was a ''lifer,” and he looked
the part. He had been sentenced tb
death for the murder of his wife, but
seemingly because It’was undeserved
hie sentence had been commuted
Imprisonment for life. Of hie sixty
years twenty had bean passed In prison,
and during the last twelve or fourteen
he had been known as a "trusty," and
therefore enjoyed small privileges un

PRISONER IN FOR LIFE
By CLARA MORRIS.
:‘"6
Walt here." said my friend. "You
will be all right. Sister's faints are
not serious," and ahe waa gone.
I glanced at the prison gardener's
heavy, sullen face, his shifty, almost
translucent, pale eyes, where the pu
pils' blackness was like a drop of Ink
against the light blue of the nil, and
drew eoftty toward the gate, when from
beneath the great flapping straw hat
came a husky murmur, 'ILook up at the
lg wall.” .
I looked—beyond the low garden':
Inclosure lifted the great prison war
on which two uniformed and arm*
iced slowly.
i’t be sfrald, you sea," came
again the husky voice. “Besides, for
me, all women died when I murdered
my Mina. The knife kill all In her,
but not all of her. No,' her yellow
hair, all a-glltter, was yst alive when
they bury her. So-so—hold close the
umbrell'—they will think you are the
missus, and we can talk—sol” At
that moment he caught sight of an
ugly worm writhing over a vine leaf
at a little distance. "A'-a-ah! there
you are, you that make holes In my fine
roses!" He sprang forward hastily,
and reached up for It, then swiftly
whispered, “The wall—look!”
I glanced upward. "Trusty" aa he
was, that Impulsive movement had not
passed unnoticed; the rifle of one
iard had leaped from the hollow of
arm and was. pausing now breast
1—though quite evl-
htgh. I shivered-
dently I was safe.
No. 102* entered. "Those friends on
the wall are >o attentive always, al
ways. But what fools, sometimes. See
you now, no knife I have, for I might
you know (he made a significant fea
ture toward his throat)—but nos
about these things? (Again sneering'
ly, he pointed toward a sickle, a hoe
with an edge of dangerous sharpnsss,
to a trowel, thin, flexible and aharp.)
Why, they will cut velne as well aa
weeds—eh? They are fools, then!"
"No," I replied, “they are not fools,
but you are a 'trusty.'"
He gave me a swift, sidelong glance.
7nh, dos le,” be said, thoughtfully.
You hit the nail on the head—but
how? Do you know these things,
do you but guess them? Well, better
a 'trusty' than the rope round your
neck 'till you are dead' and God too
busy to ‘have mercy on your soul.' I
have been sentenced, and I know—
yes, I know. And some men called me
craxy—and some say, 'No, not craxy,
and then next time all say, ‘Give him
prison for life."' He smiled a slow,
grim smile, and added. "They don't
know my father was eighty years and
alive; and my grandfather was dead of
ninety-five years. So—I make sure a
long-sentence man, eh?"
"Oh," 1 said, "most men would have
preferred death."
“No! No!” A spark of fire leaped Into
his shifting eyes. "Who say that either
does not know or he ties! lies! lies!
hen the sentence le on you, you listen
while death steps come nearer and
nearer. The nun sets—and your heart
drops In your body. Twice more—you
say. Once more—and then, no more!
The night comes, and you wake quick,
with the clods' weight on your breast
and tha taste of clay on your lips.
Then you look at your hands and see
the lime burning them quick away In
the felon's grave. You rloee your eye*
and see yourself standing on the trap
—your blood turn* to water and poura
from the gaping pores of your terror-
isled skin. Ah, no! no!—It's belli
mprtsonment for life—that's breath In
•our lungs—a square of blue sky above
the walls—a lance of sunlight to watch
fop—work to keep you from madness—
the prisoners' secret telegraphic sys
tem to learn, and to use—and then at
last, when we are marched to our
celle"— And here he had stowed Into
silence.
I went on for him. "When the great
automatic lock has with one movement
secured every door on your corridor,
then?"— I looked hard at him—I put
myself In his place. “Then?" I re
peated—he would not
was triumph In his fact, and suddenly
I understood. "And then," 1 said, "you
are freer'
His face flushed red—he glanced
anxiously from tide to side. "That
Is you are mentally free. No mortal
man can spy upon your thoughts. The
world Is open to you. The pleasures
of sea and land await your choice.
You may run—walk—awlm—fly—If you
choose. You may be vile as a cut-
purse, or great 'ai a god! You are
triumphant, because all tha guards and
all th* official* In the whole great pris
on are powerless outside that safe-
locked door!"
Hie mould-stained hand caught at
my dress—hla breath came fast. "Ah,
you understand!" he gasped. "You
have mined deep, and you touch the
secret treasure of the 'lifer.'" Hts
eyes looked phosphoreecently aflame.
"By Gqd!" he growled, "you ought to
be one of us!"
1 gave a cry and bounded out of the
Inclosure. At the same moment a
guard appeared In my path. “What'e
wrong?" he snapped. "Did the 'trusty'
speak to you—It's against the rules?”
"Oh, no! no-n-no!" I satmmered.
Then feeing a small white creature
moving beneath the bushes, 1 added
hurriedly, "I—I was trying to catch
the kitten."
The guard grunted—glared at, the
'trusty”—thought ms a fool—and dis
appeared. But as th* striped gardener
passed with an armful of weeds. I
heard again the words, "Tank-yer,
tank-yerT"
