legation and elope with woman Of
Joliet. Still tho old feeling of friendli-
ness, born OF honesty and trust, saved
Click at least from the actual breach OF
trust which he had contemplated. Among
his friends IN the prison were many who.
though wearing convict's garb, were vet.
in Clicks opinion, trustworthy. To
leave them without a word was some
thing he had not contemplated, and in
the moment when his plans for freedom
seemed on the verge of completion, be
turned TO say good-by TO those whom h'
had trusted Then came the catastrophe
Millions PARADISE Lost contains nc
sadder picture than that presented by
the unfortunate young fellow, torn from
the semi-freedom which convict alone
could appreciate torn from the society
OF sympathizing friends in the city tori
from the company Of the woman 70,
whom he was prepared 10 sacrifice even
honor, and banished from the confidence
OF the warden, who from friend now
becomes o harsh taskmaster. Chained
10 the door Of the solitary dungeon IN
the prison, Click bitterly lamented
his folly throughout Friday night,
and on Saturday morning he found
himself condemned over again 10 the
routine Of prison life, lockstep cell,
workshop, and prison fare. His hopes
OF pardon blasted, well may Click repent
in bitterness his monetary forgetfnl-
ness OF duty, while visitors and trsinmen
who miss the pleasant face and CHEEKY
greeting OF their old acquaintance viii
