He looked at the prisoner curiously.
Darrell had seated himself i'll a chair
and lighted cigar with his usual nom
chalance.

Tomorrow morning. And here's
something you can spread your blank

"Well, the rest of your belongin's you
can keep, for the present. 1t will be
morning before l come for you ag'in."
He went out and Darrell heard him
rafting the paddock that secured the
door. For some time afterward there
were sounds suggesting that sentries
were being posted about the building,
and after that silence.
DarreIs thoughts were not of the
brightest and he cleared his mind of
them and surveyed the interior of his
prison. Every opening that had once
served as a window was covered with
stout planking, the chinks between the
logs were solidly filled and the place
was as tight as a drum.
Even had there been no guards on
the outside escape from the Jail would
have baffied the most resourceful pris-
oner. Darrell yawned, laid the stump
of his cigar on the candlestick and
crossed the creaking boards of the
floor to a cot on the opposite side of
the room.
1t had been his intention to lie down,
but his fastidiousness rebelled at the
blankets on the cot. The dirt and the
vermin disguised him and he returned
to his chair.
Drowsily he leaned back and through
his half closed eyes he saw the shad-
ows Of the room taking vague shapes.
Stealthily they glided to and fro, now
forward, now back and now surround
ing him, their gaunt hands clasped
and their dance a dance of death.
Out of the spectral ranks came final
ly the soothsayer who had crossed his
path at the Half Way house-a hideous
nag who tossed her skeleton-like arms,
Knocked him with jeering face and
pointed towards him o bony and threat
ening finger.

PUNISH PRINCES BY PROXY.
English in OIden Days Provided Wears
for Undutiful Royalty.

A strange custom was in vogue
among royalty in olden times regard
ing the punishments given to youthful
princes. Each prince of the blood was
provided with whipping boy" who
was brought up with him, sharing his
lessons and pastimes, but taking upon
himself the whole of the punishments.
If the young prince was guilty OF
any misdemeanor the whipping boy
was doomed to suffer what his royal
companion deserved. The idea was
that it would pain and mortify the
prince to thus see his playmate flogged
for his sake.
That the dew &c was effective may
be gathered from the number of
houses of the European nobility which
trace their descent, from the whipping
boys soveTe.gns. The latter, as a rule.
showed themselves grateful, taking
the earliest opportunity to reward
their whipping boys with titles and
lands for the sufferings and indignities
endured in their behalf. a notable in
stance in point being that of Charles
|, who on his accession to the throne
created his whipping boy earl of
Dysart and Baron Hunting Tower. ana
presented him with large estates in
lieu of the floggins he had endured
for his sake.
