"Why, Judge" said the knock
er, 81 am one of the two prisoners

"Has he broken cut ?" said the
Judge.
"Yes, and gone off," said the
prisoner.
The Judge, knowing that escape
from the Sault in winter was im-
possible, asked the prisoner If he
had any wood at the Jail. He
said that there was very little.
we'll said Judge Ashman,
"take some from my pile, and 60
back and make yourself comlorta-
ble."
He started on with the load,
but suddenly turned round and
called out:
Il say, Judge, what shall l do
if t'otber fellow comes back again
to warm himself?"
"Take a club" said the Ju1ge,
''stand at the hole, and beat him
off; don't let him in. I'll learn
him the penalty of escaping from
our Jail"
Alter wandering about till near

back to Jail, and earnestly begged
to be let IN to warm himself; but

The Reward of Bravery.

A writer in Blockavood's Maq-
az5ne says: During the late
war a French General had up
on his staff a certain volunteer
civilian, who had several times
showed signs Of unwillingness
to expose his person. One
morning the General said to him,
Get on horseback, sir; ride be-
yond our line till you see the
Prussians. Draw fire if you
can, and then, when you have
made out exactly where their
outpOsts are, come back and re-
port to me- The gentleman
trOtted for two hundred yards,
pulled up and thought he would
go no further. Finally, after an
hour Of fear he decided to ride
home again. AS he reached the
cottage where the General was
Warrington nm, the latter looked
out, saw him, and exclaimed,
what? not gone yet? Start
instantly, SIR Thereupon the
individual in question glanced
with terror at the General, and,
after a few seconds of hesita-
ton, turned his horse sharp a.
round, and rode off at full gal
lOp towards the rear. The Gen
eral snatched out his revolver,
fired at him, and put a ball
through his throat. He was
carried to a hospital, remained
there for six months, until, in
theeXcitement Of the Commune,
he was quite forgotten He
then came out with a doctors
certificate, obtained with that
document the influence Of peo-
pie who knew nothing of the
facts, and finally, on the ground
that he had been wounded be-
fore the enemy obtained the
cross"
