4 Lire Prisoner. Romance.

indianapolis Journal. Thomas
Shepherd, the noted convict from Sui
Ivan, who was last Tuesday released
rom the Michigan City prison. finish-
ing q twenty year sentence, which had
been reduced from n life sentence by
Governor Matthews, was the principal.
u an escapade while confined in what
was formerly the Prison South of JEFF
1ersonville, Ind, that attracted wide
spread attention.
shepherd was placed in the big
NV overlooking the wagon gate to
throw the lever which opened and
closed the gate. Although constantly
attended by a guard, he began n fir
tat1on with a woman living near the
prison, ind soon letters were ex-
changed. AT last he devised means by
which he could visit the object of hfs
affections. On account of the crowded
condition of the cell houses Shepherd
was allowed to sleep in n little house
Just inside OF the walls near the big
gate. He began securing material to
make u rope ladder. and when he had
secured II sufficient quantity made Il
ladder mud kept it hidden in his shan
". Every night he would go through
tower, fasten the rope to the wall
and descend on the outside, visit his
sweetheart, return, climb to the top of
the wall, pub the rope after him. and
retire TO his bed. .n,s was repeated
for four consecutive nights, when the
rope was discovered by u passerby,
who thinking that prisoner had cs-
capped, notified the officials, who Sc
cured the rope.
When Shepherd returned from his
visit he discovered that his ladder was
gone he could do nothing but apply a:
the main entrance for admission,
which he did. Colonel j. Il. Patten.
who was then warden, was mad. but
Shepherd only smiled.

but to do it in the best way requires
some care and skill. In the first place,
remember never to give 4 cold mustard
plaster to II ratient-to Il weak OF sem
sitive person the shock is often great.
Either mix it with very hot water or,
better still, have Il plate put where it
can get warm while You are mixing.
Have everything ready at hand. mus

with a Bit of old muslin or linen
an old handkerchief is the best thing
for the purpose, Stir the mustard
and -four together first. making the
plaster stronger on weaker with mus
tard as .you have been directed. Add
the 1nolasses and then the water until
the smooth mass is about as thick as
porridge or poulticc. Spread your
cloth on the warm plate, using the
middle portion of the linen and lcav-
ing Il margin on all sides, which is To
be folded back at the edges. Put a see
ond cloth over the whole, so TINT the
mustard is entirely hid between The
two covers, and keep on the plate until
it is necessary to apply the plaster.
