"Let's know who your are," said the
man on the path.
The voice* was rather conciliatory than
threatertng and the prisoner did not rec.
cgnlta It. What If this other man should
be t> at-ifg. too? They might fly togeth

"It's all right.'* continu'd the voice. "I
ain't doin’ no harm, mister."
What a wild, happy feeling welled In
the convict! He fait strong and light-
I mbed as b Uxe
' All right.’* he said.
Common speech, the speech of free men
which he had not used for years, was
strange and dlftl* ult to him. It was hard
not to say "sir " to the man, who wan

"I thought maybe you was a cop." said
the other, "though 1 don’t see the harm
of a chap turnin’ In her** for a bit o’

How the convict wished he could change
places with this homeless creature, who
had crept tn to sleep anting the graves*
With th** wish came the thought that he
stood within lhe danger of the man. who
must presently perceive his jf ><iii suit.
If the man Informed against him at the
prison they would give him a reward,

The prisoner caught at the suggestion.
"Y s," he said. "I thought this might
be a short cut to the station Isn't then
a station over there somewhere? To tell
y *u the truth, I'm In a hurry, and got

He felt confident and oven -afe. wear

dale fence by this |oor outcast In el*
years he had scar, cly had a word that
was not a command.
"Take this path I'm on and kesp

The warder wit* In plain clothes. a If

The convict had a momentary Impulse

All this time th* convict was In s very

with (taring light*, booth* and stalls on

"Gladstone?" said the convict, "t* b*

"Aha!” exclaimed the warder,
thought so Gladstone's dead and hurled

thing My man. you've got loose from
