ESCAPED FROM PRISON.s
Some Of the Most Extraordinary
Gases on Record.

There are several criminals in the
United States of whom it has been said
that no Jail is strong enough to hold
them. Like all sweeping assertions,
this statements probably an exaggera-
ton; but still it must be admitted that
the recorded cases of successful jail
breaking have been SO numerous and
SO sEillfully planned and executed as
to astound the usually self-conident
prison officials, some of whom on rare
ccasions seem prepared to admit that
they have not secured a monopoly of

Foy was taken back to BaQ.ton on

great, pointed, towering head bending
slowly toward the child, saying: IF
thou wilt obey, do this" The child did
not speak, and her silence frightened
the nurse. The door closed and the
little girl was found unconscious On the
floor. After that she went to bed per-
fectly dumb, and, no matter what she
suffered never asked for aid or as
sistance or raised her voice. and
doubtless the nurse congratulated
method of discipline. But she
never knew that the result of those
rights would go down to her grave
with that child. Although woman,
and not timid by nature, it is impossi-
bic for her to go to bed in room with
the gas unlighted, and any nervous ex-
haustion brings to the fact that awful
apparition of her almost baby days.
which bends as though to swoop down
and carry her off.
The return of her father brought out
the story, and he forced the nurse to
confess and show to the child how this
awful figure was made. The woman
was tall and slender; she put a sheet.
over her head and then raised her
hands as high as possible above her
head, with her fingers closed together.
The bending motion was produced by
letting the arms fall slowly forward.
But all this was useless. While the
child, even as child, perfectly under
stood that il was the nurse who made
that awful figure, darkness always
brings it back with greater or less dis
tinctness, according to the strength or
weakness of her physical condition.
Would not investigation as to the
subjects OF conversation between
nurse and child-the stories told, the
whole relation between the child and
nurse-often discover the cause of Ill
health to be the result of nervousness
arising from the nurses treatment Of

IF your lives have fallen into some
quiet, unpretentious place. do not
complain that it is dull and common
place, and that there "is nothing to
live for here" as l have heard SO
many do. Why, dear heart. there is
no place ON Gods earth so bleak and
barren, so quiet and lonely, SO wind
swept and rain-beaten, but there is a
great deal to live.for right there, and
when you have grown little older
you will see it with clear eyes; and
you will look back to. the country
village and wish-oh, how you will
wlsh!-that you had been happy and
content in that simple life. You viii
know, then, that it is noblerFts live
well q humdrum life than to wear out
body and mind and soul in feyerish
