friends, for the love of God, file on
these chains and set me free"
Oh, how my heart leaped at the
thought that I could now undo my
work and ease the long troubled con-
science. l looked imploringly at my
husband, who bid me go and bring the
file. I went with flying feet. As I gave
1t to him he must have read my
thoughts. How I longed to tell the
poor fellow the part 1 had taken in his
life, and ask the forgiveness 1 craved,
for, as he took the file, he said:
my man, I am a lawyer, and
strange to say, n of those who con-
victed you, and as such should deliver
you up to justice, but for the sake Of
my wife here, who was your child wit
ness, and has always grieved over your
sad fate, I viii set you free"
BE fixed his sad gaze upon me and
saidi "Do not trouble yourself, dean
madam, it was justice, for I brought 10
on myself by my rashness and fiery
temper, but GOD only knows how I
bless you for giving me even a few
hours Of freedom.
He left us and hurried away toward
his home. Ny heart felt lighter than
it had for years, and I prayed that the
poor fellow would have the privilege
Of seeing his mother and sweetheart
again. But my hopes were dashed
away as a number of officers dashed
past the house in close pursuit of their
prisoner. They had only been gone
a few moments when a pistol shot rang
clear and sharp on the evening air.
My husband caught my ~shuddering
form in his arms, for we knew that, by
his own hand, the soul of Henry Derbin
had gone to trial in a higher court,
where I would not be called as a Wit

done only my duty, and that my ideas
about IL were all a mistake.
As il it were only yesterday I could,
in Imagination, see his pale handsome
face and reproachful eyes as they car
ried him away to prison.
l think the shock to my sensitive,
childish mind completely hushed all
whispeFings Of justice, and the fact
only remained that by my words I had
doomed a fellow mortal TO lifelong
misery and shame. My heart ached
for him when we heard that once he
had attempted to escape by jumping
from a boat into the river, but owing
to his shackles was promptly captured
and returned TO prison.
One evening, not long after this,
about dusk, my husband and 1 were
sitting on our front porch, when a man
came walking quickly down the walk
and halted at the steps. 1 was horri-
fed to see that his hands were shackled
together, and on one foot he draggeda
long chain; he wora a convict's garb,
and in his pale, thin face we both rec
ognized the features of Henry Derbin.
BE it was-but oh, how changed
from the handsome, dashing fellow we
had sent to prison years agol The
beautiful brown hair was cut close to
his head and the once flashing eyes had
the hunted look of a closely pursued
animal, and the hideous convict clothes
hung like a sack from his emaciated
form. He glanced n~ervously from my
husband to my own startled face, butt
was glad to see he did not recognize US.
Friends" he said, "as you see, l am
an escaped convict. No doubt you
have heard Of Henry Derbin, sent to
prison from this county years ago.
