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.

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.
