of pneumonia. The doctor saw that
he was about ready to kick the bucket,
and had private audience with him
for the purpose of warning him Of his
prospective change of residence. When
the doctor had finished, Lem said:
doc, you know that young nag O
mine?"
"Yes," said the doctor.

THE APPROACHING ORDEAL.
"~HE American has escapedw

faces of thousands. There was not one

astounding negligence. Never before

The full story of the daring break
for liberty flashed from lip to lip dur

the water swept city before noon.
Baron Dangloss himself had gone to
the prisoners cell early in the morning,
mystified by the continued absence Of
the guard. The door was locked, but
from within came groans and cries.
Alarmed at once, the captain procured
duplicate keys and entered the cell.
There he found the helpless, blood COW
cred Ogbot, bound hand and foot and
almost dead from loss of blood. The
clothes of the American were on the
floor, Willie his own were missing, gone
with the prisoner.
Ogbot as soon as he was able related
his experience Of the night before. 1t
was while making his rounds at mid
night that he heard means from the
cell. Animated by feeling of pity, he
opened the slab door and asked if he
were ill. The wretched American was
lying on the bed, apparently suffering.
He said something which the guard
could not understand, but which he
took to be plea for assistance. Not
suspecting a trick, the kindly guard
unlocked the second door and stepped
to the bedside only to have the sick
man rise suddenly and deal him a
treacherous blow over the head with
the heavy stool he had secreted behind
him. Ogbot knew nothing of what fol-
lowed, so effective was the blow. When
he regained consciousness, he was ~
ing on the bed just as the captain had
found him. The poor fellow, over.
whelmed by the enormity Of his mis-.

CURED the efforts Of all the policemen
in Edelweiss. The chagrin of the grim
old captain, who had never lost pris-
oner, was pitiful to behold.
The forenoon was half over before
Harry Anguish heard Of his friends
escape. TO say that he was paralyzed
would be putting it much too mildly.
There is no language that can ade-
quately describe his sensations. For
getting his bodyguard, he tore down
the street toward the prison, wild with
anxiety and doubt. He met Baron Dan
gloss, tired and worn, near the gate,
but the old officer could tell him moth
