On being asked to explain what kind Of an

Capt. Bates then explained to him the rules of

he did not wish to disturb anybody's religious or

he would advise him to give up following the
teachings of anarchism during his stay in prison,
and make up his mind to work for the three meals

be found to compel him.
The balance of the story Is told in the following
