cause of wonderment how he contriveo
successfully to elude the police, although
he was seldom absent from his we'll

were discussing this point ia the Sheffield
Jail, and Peace was greatly grati6ed at
the expressed admiration of bis ingenui-
ty. Said the affable assassin @Do You

affirmative, he said: ''Weil, will tell
you." Then he asked them TO turn their
backs to HIM rhey did so, and were
astonished to find that Peace completely
altered the expression of mis- face, and SO
protruded his chin and curled his lips
that in ordinary circumstances it would
have been impossible TO recognize him,
especially as he had, by the contortion OF
the features, forced the blood into his
face unit he locked like mulatto.
