THE ATHENE GEORGIAN: MARCH 20, 1877.
The Warder’s Daughter.
Mario:i Ilydo was a cripple, l>ut

father was a warder in a prison.
Among the prisoners was one at the

sullen face, attracted her glance, lie

beside a window, which opened into
an upper hall, a..d after a long effort,

He never spoke, he scarcely ate;
and the prison physician told Marion
that in* was dying of sheer inanition.
“It is j my opinion he’s trying to i which I was, brought

Marion xlrew near the sick lad.

having heard.
Marion left die ward with a shocked
and anxious face.
“ Let me know if there is any
vintage, or you think of anything
that I cun do,” she then said to the
•doctor.
Hut at dusk the doctor was called
a .ay by serious illness in his own
family, and near midnight, the assist-
nni, going his rounds, found Aymer
Preston dead in bed.
*• It’s either make believe or heart
break,” Dr. Putney said, sharply,
when wvrd was brought him, and he
ordered that Preston’s body should
I/e wrapped in blankets and not re
moved tilHic saw it.
The order was obeyed, but when
three days saw no change in the
form, Dr. Putney having meanwhile
examined it, it was removed to the
«iissccting room.
Ma rion Hyde’s window commanded
n vie w of this mysterious and i error
inspiring apartment. As she stood
sit ,’ner window that night, she
thought, with a va ue thrill of pain,
of the one cold, still tenant of that
terrible room.
She was not a timid, superlilious
creature, nor by any means given to
nervousness; so when she saw the
•window of the dissecting-room slowly
lifted, and a gaunt, wild face appear
Ml the opening, instead of screaming
-1 r running away, she stood still. She
knew that her heart was throbbing
wildly, but she knew also that it was
no phantom she looked upon. Doc
tor Putney had been right nil the
time. Aymer Preston was uot dead,
and thus he was making one wild
•effort for liberty. Marion Hyde
stood and .watched hint.
She could not have called out just
then if he had been the most desper
ate and hardened criminal within
those walls. Besides, tha poor wretch
was only mooking himself. He could
not escape oveu now, except by a
