He took little piece of paper and a
tiny tape line from his pocket. you

disguise ready that will fit you. To
morrow ! will bring you two blank
checks to sign. You will understand
later what they are for"
A moment later a step was heard in
the corridor, and Kent was sure the
governor was listening, lie was not
mistaken. What the governor heard
in part was this:
"Now then why not tell me the rest
of it? These men can do you no serv-
ice now, and the friends of the adj
ministration viii secure your pardon
/ if they are furnished with all the facts
! You have told me enough to make it
worth my while to stay here another
day to get the rest of it and I'm anx-
ious to get back"
The governor shot the bolt and open
ing the door looked in.
Time, he said.
Kent appeared to be so engrossed in
his interview thathc did not instantly
perceive the entrance of the officer,
but went on talking to Laport. Think
it over" he said Your own personal
comfort if not your freedom may be in
volved in it.
Then he and the governor left the
cell
The first thing that Kent did was to
tell the governor that he had succeeded
in unscaling Laports lips and had al
ready got from him some intimations
of the political gang which had at
tempted to use him. He then narrated
story of his own invention which
was so ingeniously fabricated that the
governor was deeply interested and
himself proposed that Kent should
stay until he had got the whole of il
and this Kent ut last consented to do
merely remarlzinS: "I'd keep the fel

you. The confinement gals him and
have no doubt he will sooner or later
give away the whole matter in order
to get back to the workshop. KeeI

longer"
The next day there was another
interview. The moment Kent wa'
alone with the prisoner he asked
"Did you get the stone out?"
Laport took from his breast where i
had been concealed under his woolel
shirt, small folded packet. Ken
took it, fingered it moment, and pu
it in his hip pocket, The two men thel
went TO the dark corner of the cell are
Laport, getting down on his knees

Kent looked closely at the work, sav
that no one could perceive the differ

light to it and merely said: Good.

Laport marveled at the particular

planned and at the address Of Kent in
hoodwinking the governor while con
spring to free his prisoner without
reasoning upon the matter deeply he
set about following ont the pro-
gramme laid down for him and his
methodical training enabled him TO do
it carefully. Laport was over fifty
