Very soon after the sentencing for

denS of Holloway prison appeared and
took up positions on each side OF the
prisoner. This was the blttercst mo-
mcnt OF nll for the rnidcrs, as up to that

greatest courtesy and hnd In fact been

when the elbows OF tho prison wardens
touched those Of the aristocratic free
hooters, they seemed to realize that tho
strong arm OF tho law had knocked all
the romance out of the TrunHvanl fias-
CO, and that they were conVICts in the
eyes OF the law and OF society, to say
nothing OF tho military authorities, who,
1t Is believed. must tnko action looking

Then was enacted the last chapter In
