prison on Forged papers. Inc Gov
ernor looked at the pardon clerk, the
pardon clerk looked at the Governor.
Then detective was summoned.
What had become of the brilliant
and audacous Mr.. Flamp By dint of
patient inquiry the detective discoy-
cred, not Flam, but the residence of
charmer to whom Jack was accus-
toned to devote himself when he was
temporarily out of prison. The charm
er's bower was in back street in the
lower part of Albany. The detective
managed to secure q room in a house
opposite beauty's bower, bided his
time and kept his eyes wide open. He
watched and waited in vain for three
or four days. And then, one morn
ing early, the front door of the bower
opened, there was a tender leave-tak-
ing on the threshold, and then a man
stepped out upon the pavement and
sauntered away.
AS soon as the detective set his eyes
upon the man he saw that it was the
escaped prisoner, whom he and the
Governor and the pardon clerk wanted
so badly.
A minute later the detective and his
assistant, both dressed in citizens
clothes so as not to attract attention,
were on Flam's track. The escaped
bird, unaware of the net that was clos
ing about his feet, took his way to the
park that stretched in front OF the cap
itol Reaching the park he sat down
on one of the wooden benches within
a stones throw of the Executive cham
Der, whence the pardon had been
issued. The detectives slowly APP
preached from behind, and almost be-
fore he knew it Flam found pair of
handouts ON his wrists.
'What does this meanp" he asked
of the detective with an air in which
amazement and indignation were
mingled in equal proportion. "Why
am | subjected TO this indignityP'
'Its no use, Flam," quietly
answered the detective. a know you
and what you've been up to. My
names -. Now I take it you'll
come along quietly, like sensible
man."
M'll go with you quietly on one
condition" said Flam. Il claim that
you have no right to arrest me, and if
you will promise me that if called
upon by me, you viii testify that l
made such a claim and resisted arrest
that's all /. ask, and I'll give you no
trouble. Understand me as resisting;
I'm not such fool as really to resist,
for / have no desire to be roughly
handled. But regard me as resisting
you.
The detective promptly acceded to
jack request, and the two peacefully
proceeded down the hill. A few hours
later they were on q New York Central
train bound for Auburn, and more
particularly Auburn Prison. AS they
journeyed along, to relieve the monot-
ony of the trip, the detective suggested
that his companion should explain how
he had successfully managed to put up
SO neat a job as his escape.
Eyes, think it was pretty neat, !"
said Eam, land don't mind telling
You, in confidence, how / worked the
racket, for / know you're square.
During my trial my attention was
called one day to the signature Of the
district-attorney who tried me. It was
attached to some unimportant paper.

out being observed, cut off the sigma
ture and destroyed the rest of the doc
ument, l put the signature carefully
away in my vest pocket and trans
ferred it to my mouth ON entering Au-
bupu, so that it would not be taken
from me when my clothes were ex-
changed for the prison uniform. You
see, taking time by the forelock, l had
formed my plan of escape before my
trial was finished. / was sent up for
forgery, and thought it would be a
good joke all around if ! could get out

Eyes, that was it, although l never
expressed it that way. Well, to so
