BY this time the train had been cleared,

think there is great deal more good in

kind, but even allowing for that, think

sire to be sociable on the part of the men
that can't help to make one feel very kindly
towards them"

This was overheard, and a general laugh
| followed, with an exclamation that " Frank
was keeping his spirits up" = p, ~.
| The laugh had scarcely subsidized when the
boy came into the car with the packages Of
prize-candy. He left one in every seat, en-
cept the seats of the convicts, and as he
passed Walworth and Gillen, who were
sitting together, the former said: THAT is
a new sensation; however, l have often
wondered if l could get through train
without having packet of candy put in my
Hap. Now Pve done it, and that is worth

ted, joked, and INDUCED in badinage to the

about to associate than rise above them.
THE ARRIVAL AT sING-sING.
At the depot at Sing-Sing there was not a
little excitement on the arrival of the train.
There was crowd at the station, and 1t
gathered in numbers as the men, handcuffed
together, were taken to Days Phoenix Ho-
tel, where they were allowed by Deputy
Sheriff Shields to have their last drink, pre-.
vious to entering upon their weary and long
imprisonment. This got through, deputy
| sheriffs, prisoners, and a few friends walked
down the railroad track to the prison. 10
the private Office Of the warden was Mrs.
Walworth, waiting for her son. Frank
was allowed 10 leave the. rest OF the
convicts to greet her, and he spent
a few moments in conversation with her
while the other prisoners were giving the
usual particulars respecting themselves at
the desk. Finally, his turn came, and be left
his mother to answer the clerks questions.
which he did somewhat in a fippant and
Joking manner. The parting ofboth mother
and son was characteristic. There were no
signs of grief; there was no long, tender
farewell. There was the gentlest and most
well-bred kiss, single shake of the band,
and Frank joined the conYict-group.
