CHAPTER L

In the early autumn Of 18- young
man who was registered at the Lexing-
ton (Ky.) military academy as Surden
Bench, aged twenty-five, got up about
three o'clock in the morning and talk
ing eight hundred dollars belonging
to the academy and his fellow-studcnts,
decamped.
The significance of the circumstance
at the time arose from the discovery of
the deliberate and ingenious method
pursued by Bench to, accomplish his
purpose. He had conceived some kind
of town celebration and induced the
young men to write home for funds.
lie also succeeded in getting them to
make him the depository of the money,
which according to the books amount
ed to eight hundred and ffty-four dol
lars. He disappeared from Lexington
and all the efforts of the faculty and
the authorities to trace him failed.
1t is now known that when he left the
academy he struck across country to
the Salt river, where he had a sliff in
hiding and presumably a negro con-
federate. With characteristic Ken
tuclly impulse, the young men of the
school held an Indignation meeting
and offered the eight hundred dollars
to anyone who would capture him and
tTrn him over to the authorities. This
reward put upon his trail several
western deputy shcriffs who tracked
him to Cairo, ILL.,, where it was sus-
pected that he had changed his boat,
bought ammunition and supplies and
set off down the Mississippi, travelling
generally in the night and hiding in
the bayous during the day.
Deputy Sheriff Col. Abner Petingill,
of Frankfort, published in the Louis
Vile Journal year later a communi-
cation setting forth that his party had
tracked Bench to a bayou, somewhere
between Tiptonville and Fulton, on
the Tennessee shore, where the fugi-
tive had sunk his boat and struck
through the wild tract of country cx-
tending to what is known as the ''Iligh-
land Rim, in Henderson county. This
communication is curious in one state
ment 1t says: I'VE discovered, after
much tedious searching, the sunkcn
boat and then struck his trail in the
woods We had not followed it far be-
fore we came to the conclusion that he
wos accompanied by woman"
Col Petingill then states that it was
his belief and the belief of his party
that Bench met with an accident some
where on the Rim, for all traces of him
disappeared, and after camping out for
two weeks in the wilderness and dis.
covering no new trail the party re-
turned.
The fact is Bench had accidentally
discovered the Laran cave.
In his endeavor to escape from hi;
pursuers, he had struck straight up the
rim and in jumping from one of the

CHAPTER IL


He is not heard of again until five
years have elapsed, and the second
event of which it is necessary briefly
to make mention here occurred exact
ly three months before he came to the
surface in the furtherance of his vast
project.
In the winter of IS occurred the
revolution in Venezuela known as the
Vargas rebellion A Spanish bark,
the Valencia, carrying arms and sup
plies for the insurgents which had been
bought in England, encountered a
heavy storm while off the Gulf of Mar
acabo, and springing a leak ran off
past Point Gallinas, and the captain,
in order to relieve his craft, threw over
at Good-tide two four-inch breech-
loading rihed steel guns, at a point
called the Bahiata Bank, The mate of
this vessel claimed to be an American
and when the Valencia was captured
two days later he managed to escape
by connivance of the authorities and
went straight to New Orleans. 1t is
supposed that he met Bench there. At
all events, he went back to Caracas as
soon as the revolution was over and is

The next day about nine o'clock in
the morning, the prisoner, round
shouldcred old man with great deal
of character in his square jaw and
massive chin and deep-set scintillant
black eyes, was brought into the
office of the prison. No one was pres
ent but the governor and the reporter.
"Laport,' said the governor, "here's
gentleman wants to talk to you. /
hope you'll treat him with more con-
sideration than you do me-"
The old man looked from one of the
men to the other with a sullen de-
fiance. "You can save yourself the
trouble, he said. I've nothing to say"
lie folded his arms and stood looking
at the ceiling.

ernor. There's a chair"
Kent then began free and easy
explanation to which Laport paid very
little attention. He approached the
subject of his inquiry, the governor
thought with great tact, and then
asked one or two unimportant ques-
tions
The only answer the man made was
to turn to the governor.

I'm Inclined" said the governor,
''to put you in a dark cell for a week
to punish you for your internal obsti-
macy. I've treated you altogether too
well, old man"
The old man gave a slight shrug Of
his shoulders. but was silent.
Kent began to apologize for him,
and, as coaxingly as he could, asked
/ him several more questions. To one of
them he growled out a sullen mo, "

A FUNNY SIGN.
The joke That an American Had on nn
Englishmnn.

The Joke That an American Had on an
Engllshman.
A certain Philadelphia gentleman of
more name than fame was ordered by
his physician to travel for the benefit
of his health.
He went to England, and after firing
of humping through London he decided
to hire trap and sec the beauties of
interior England in digniied ease and
luxury.
just then he fell in with a hearty,
good-natured Englishman, and as they
soon became fast friends, the American
invited the other to attend him on his
coaching trip
The son of John Bull accepted, and
during the days of pleasure that fol-
lowed, each frequently and in joking
manner improved every occasion to
laud his own country and express his
contempt of the other.
On the evening of the fourth day, as
they were driving along a dusty road,
the American pulled the horses up
suddenly and proceeded to read a sign:
I TO Manchester twenty miles" and
underneath were the words: IF you
cannot read this sign apply for infor-
nation at the blacksmith shop"
well, I'll be darnedr' said the
American. IF that isn't the most ri
/ diculous sign / ever saw!'
"Jove, old man." replied the Eng
lishman, "that sign is all right, isn't
it? don't see anything the matter "
"You don't Ell? Well, then. You just
sleep over IL and see what you think in

came down beaming

CHAPTER Ill

NAANhA / A@Ah AAA'
Three months later Bench comes to
thesurface at the Moyamensing prison,
now q federal penal establishment.
lie arrived there as the representative
of an influential New York paper with
q letter to the governor-the officer
that under the old system we knew as
the warden,
And here the story of the great con-
spiracy properly begins.
A card was brought to the official
bearing the name of Andrew Kent"
with the title of the New York news
paper in the corner, and it was fol-
lowed by a well-dressed man of about
thirty, whose easy dignity and in
formal heartiness impressed the warden
favorably.
"You are Gov. Ixtel, presume?'
The governor smiled and said he was.
Il am from the New York newspaper
whose name you saw on the card. l
have been sent on an errand which this
letter will explain"
The governor put on his glasses and
read the letter that was handed to him.
IL ran as follows:

victs, let his hand drop TO his side with
the letter in it, With the other he took
off his glasses and looked at Mr. Kent
with a broad smile,
"Why, bless your enterprising soul"
he said, that old alligator won't talk.
You couldn't pump ten words out of
him if you worked a month"
Nevertheless" " replied Mr. Kent, Il
am here to make the attempt with
your kind permission"

never heard that Laport was mixed up
in politics.
Mr.. Kent sat down well, sir, it
isn't generally known. But he is
nevertheless the depository of certain
secrets which to hold will no longer be
of any service to him and which if he
will give them away, as we say, will
secure for him the influence of num-
ber of powerful friends who can, if
they set to work, get him a commuta-
tion of sentence"
Mr.. Kent was evidently n clever
tallzer; he was thoroughly posted in
the political situation; he brought
with him from New York a good deal
of inside news and several rattling
stories that were new. He candidly
confessed that he had no stomach for
this job and wanted to be back in the
metropolis But duty was duty and
he'd have to make the attempt, He
did not think he'd get much out of it,
but if he did it would be a feather in
the cap of the present administration
and an additional plume for himself.
Mr.. Kent talked so long that the
governor invited him to take dinner
with his family, and the guest proved
such an interesting talzer that Mrs,
Ixtel late in the afternoon proposed to
the governor that it would be far more
hospitsble to have the gentleman stay
with them than to go off to a hotel
lie played backgammon that night
with the governor; sang the latest
songs for Miss Ixtel and accompanied
himself on the piano; and he sat up till
twelve o'clock talking politics and
drinking the governors whisky.
