his own miserable life seemed In danger.
he was ghostly white with terror. How

to ses him up to the murdering point only
shsse who did it can know. But their
leverage was In the sams inordinats vanity.
which. now that the danger Of being lynched

Of hero and q martyr.
He WAS hardly well within the prison
walls and there safe from mob violence
before his oonoeit began to bring bach his

Ths now day brought with it TO him
the convictioa that hs was one Of ths great
ones OF the earth. He had endless sstss-

was talking Of him II pleased him greatly
when he was summoned TO have his photo

with his head thrown back and his syez
turned upward In the approved styls Of
the martyr. Two pictures of him were

Ths utmost precautions were tAken TO
prevent anybody from eetting q glimpse
OF him on his way from his cell In the base
msnt Of Police Headquarters TO the photo
graph gallery on tho top floor. The halls
were cleared and policemen were lined up
on each sids Of thsm. and through this
lane Of bluecoats Csoleoss wss marched.
He walked with q nrm step and seemed
calm and composed.
