the 21th. the brothers, who were of tho
same stature, exchanged places and walked
into the cells selected, with their backs to
the doorway. The warden turned the bolts
of the gratings without noticing the de-
ception.
A few minutes past 10 O'Clock the six
men assembled in the air chamber nerved
for the next encounter with whatever
should oppose their fight to Dixie The
only weapons they could command were
the case knives that had been used in dig
ging, and which had become worn down
to the shape of dirks. A few inches of
earth was all that lay between them and
the prison yard, and when that was reach
ed it was found to be raining. The guards
had abandoned their exposed beats on the
prison wall and were hugging shelter in
out of the way hooks to escape the storm.
The fugitives mounted the wall by the aid
of their rope and graphing hook and en-
tered a convenient sentry box to exchange
their telltale clothing for the new outfits
which were to furnish a complete disguise.
From the wall they descended to the
ground by their rope and landed within

best means to ward suspicion from him

prison wall, and the talkative major ex-
claimed to his fellow passenger, "There is

II bushels less than last year. The
rate Of yield was lower in 1887 and

aggregate wheat area is 36,OS7.1
acres, nearly the same ns in 1879,
and the yield per acre Ill bushels.
These are measured bushels, OF n
quality grading somewhat lower
than usual, the weight OF which will
be given in the March report. Past
records have shown that the annual
differences in weight of the crop are
not often more than a pound above
or below the average weight for a
series of years, the lowest for seven
years being SOS in 1883. and the
highest 5S.5 in 1887. The yield per
acre is the same as in 1888, when the
product was nearly 41G, 900
bushels, and. with two exceptions, is
the lowest rate during the past dec
ade. The area IN oats was 26, ,43l,-
800 acres and the yield per acre was
1913 bushels. This is only a per
cent of the average OF 10 years past,
which was 26.6 bushels, and the
smallest rate Of yield ever reported
by the government office.

The Insurance Solicitor.

The life insurance solicitor of the
old school is disappearing. Only the
companies that collect by the week
have use for him now. The great in
crease in the value of policies written
enables the companies to command
more cultivated talent and calls for
a higher degree of ability on hepart
of the solicitors. The modern solic-
itor aims not to bore any one, and
does not pride himself upon his abil-
itv to overcome insulting rebutfs.
He is a strategist, and finds use for a
host of auxiliaries. He may retain
your doctor, your tailor, your book
keeper or your confidential friend,
and they may one after the other
drop the word in season that will in
duce you to have policy on your
life written for $25, 900 or so. The
agent appears at the nick of time
and wonders how he happened to
drop in upon you at such an oppor-
tune time.
The Gordon OF auXiliaries that sur
round you and that have helped him,
get half of the first commission.
Thereafter the agent pockets all the
commission. First-class life insur-
ance agents, who can reach the men
who are likely to take out policies
tor large amounts, earn large sums.
While he divides his first fees with
those who give him tips, he retains
an interest in all premiums paid, and

run the gantlet of prying eyes in the city
in case the fact of the daring escape
had been promptly discovered and wired
abroad. In truth, however, the Jail break
was not discovered until after dayligh on
the 28th, for the cots of each missing man
had been planted with aserviceable dummy
to deceive the wardens on their rounds.
Seen through the cell gratings the cots ap-
peared to have the usual occupants. The
two chief fugitives crossed the Ohio at
Cincinnati in Il skiff and were soon among
Kentucky friends, who furnished horses
and guides. They would need to traverse
the whole of Kentucky and part of Ten
nessee before they would be clear of the
Union lines, and of course the region was
alive with hostile soldiers Friends of the
fugitives could only aid them in secret
In a few days they had good pistols. money
fresh horses, and also cattle whips to dis
guSe them as drOverS
After travelling nearly two weeks they
came upon party of TofIy~of Morgan $
command that had been cut off during the
raid north and had remained in hiding
Morgan decided to resume his true charac-
ter, and with this reinforcement marched
to the Tennessee river below Kingston.
There was no boat at hand, but by borrow
ing an AK at the nearest house Il raft was
improvised. 1t took so long to ferry over
the horses and men that the work was dis
covered by Union cavalry that was follow
ing not far behind. Morgan, Hines and
thirty men had crossed, and the leader
proposed to make fight, but was at length
dissuaded, and with Hines and four others
took to the mountains. After wandering
some time aimlessly. Hines left his com
panions beside bride path and went to a
house for a guide. While absent on this
errand he saw body of Union cavalry
moving in the direction of the generals
hiding place. Dashing up to the cavalry
leader he cried out, Hurry up, major, or
the rebels will escape" and led the scent
in an opposite direction.
Representing himself as home guard,
Hines kept up the byplay for some time
but finally had to confess his identity In
fact his effort at deception was uphill work,
for the Morgan party had been recognized
at the house where the AK had been bor
rowed for the raft. The cavalry major was
so enraged with Hines for leading him away
from his prize that he prepared to hang
him on the spot. 81 would not have missed
getting him Morgan for thousand dol

placed around Hines neck and thrown over
the limb of tree, when the condemned
man coolly said, Suppose that was Gen

to be hanged if | had not done what you

The major thought moment and then
exclaimed, Boys, let him alonep'
Hines had an eventful experience, but
subsequently escaped. When Morgan
heard the cavalry galloping away from his
vicinity he started south with the four
men, and after several adventures and
hairbreadth escapes from death reached his
own lines. GEORGE l.. KILMER
