CHAPTER XX11I.
nY J. 1t. coNNELLY

When the inspector came back and
turned mp the gas before Sewdirs
cell. he uttered an exclamation of
alarmed surprise. His prisoner had
escaped him.
He feared it in the instant when his
quick eye caught the little dark red
stream that had sluggishly crept ont
under the grated door and half across
the corridor floor. He knew it when
he reached the form upon the bench
and found it inanimate clay.
Such had been the desperation in
spring the young man to cast of his
burden Of life that he had torn, with
the sharp edged bits OF glass, great
ragged openings in his arteries, both
at the ankles and at the wrists, and
seemed to have come to him
while he was still digging in his neck
another vent for life. All the space
between his body and the wall was a
pool OF blood, and IL had run down
at the end of the bench to the floor
and thence to the door, as il the in
stinct of escape had been in it.
A more unqualified confession OF
guilt would have been impossible, and
Vet it was far from being such a one
as the inspector had desired u en-
pected. Indeed he vas sorely disap.-
pointed and annoyed, since he could
not help representing himself for let
ting a prisoner get away from him,
even through the dark gate Chester
Sewall had chosen.
Without that confession, however,
the evidence before the %coroner's jury
on the Willmarth inquest would Still

The prison bird Is found in Africa,
and gets its name from the fact that.
from the time the nest Is made until
the little birds are old enough TO fly
the mother bird is really a prisoner:
At nesting time the parent birds,
with their beaks, make a hole In the
bark of n hollow tree, and then enter
the tree and build their nest. When
the nest is ready for occupancy the
mother bird settles herself in 1t, and
her mate at once makes her a prison
er by "wnlling up the entrance to
nest, leaving an opening just large
enough for air and food to pass
through.
The great African explorer, David
Livingstone, watched the actions of
these birds and i'll writing of them re-
ferrcd to the nest as u prison." and
the female bird us a SLAVE" She GER
tainly is at the mercy of her mate for
q time, but he treats her with unvary-
ing kindness and attention. AS soon
as she is imprisoned he stations him
self near. He brings her food at reg
uta intervals, and does not allow her
to want for anything. Thus she gets
on all right, and really seems to thrive
in her secluded life. Should, however,
any accident befall the male bird, so
that he would be kept from looking
after the needs of the mother bird,
she and her little ones would die for
want of food. When nesting time is
over the male bird destroys the bar
rler with his beak and sets his family
free. Says Mr.. Livingstone: at is in
teresting to witness the joy with
which the little prisoners greet the
light and the unknown world"
