about his hangdog look. II seemed to
him to be a combination against him,

BY and by. when It so happened that
the detectives were giving Cassidy a

In his way he loved the young woman.

or all the things that hurt him most
were the words Of the prosecutor He
bad called direct attention to his evil
face and bis previous record and had
vowed that he was more Of a wild
beast than a man. Nothing else hurt like
this, and he determined on revenge.
From the day he entered prison Cas-

revenge on the man who had Kissed at
him in court. He didn't blame the
judge or the jury. AS for the nelghbors

die by his hand. His words were re-
membered morning, noon and night.
and day by day the convict thought of
escape.
Seven long years passed by, and then
day came that a guard relaxed his
vigilance for a moment, and Jim Cas-
sidy made his escape. Another convict
would have tried to get away as far
and as fast as possible. Not so with
Cassidy He had only twenty miles
to go to reach the prosecutors house.
He had kept track Of bis enemy
through visitors. He knew that he oc-
cupied house in the midst of grounds
just outside the city. and over and
over again be had planned how he
would approach, how enter the house,
how surprise the man in his sleep and
take his life He made his Journey
across the country in logged sort Of

living thing obstructing his path for n

The escape was made in the early

but that made no difference to Cassidy.

Killing Of Highwayman Follows Bold

Macon, Mo-, Merchants to
Convert Farmers TO Autos.

MACON, Mo July ia decided
innovation is to be introduced by the
merchants Of Macon, several Of whom
have combined in arranging free auto
mobile rides over the city for their
customers from the rural districts. A
touring automobile car, owned by a
Macon capitalist, will be rented every
Saturday afternoon for that purpose.
The enterprise is designed mainly
to convert the agriculturists to the
automobile. The merchants say in
order to accomplish their purpose the
farmers will have to experience the
pleasure and exhilaration Of being
driven in the cars at the rapid rate the
chauffeurs advance their spark"
while speeding around the country
thoroughfareS and thereby sometimes
frightening the farmers teams.
1t is said that no other town the size
Of Macon a boast the number of ma
chimes in use here. When the craze
first started several years ago Col. +.
w. Blees, of the Blees Military Acad-
envy, was the first Macon purchaser.
He nov owns four, his wife and oldest
son both being experts in handling the
machines. Several Others own auto
mobiles. There have been remarkably
few accidents resulting from the use
of the machines, as horses soon get
accustomed to them in town, but ever
since their use here the Macon mer-
chants have suffered a loss OF trade
from the farmers, who preferred to do
their marketing where there vas no
danger In leaving their horses tied at
the market square or to send their
daughters on an GRAND.
The scheme originated from a feat
ure Of the Fourth Of July celebration,
which vas giving all the ladies and
children free automobile rides. Some
Of the well-to-do farmers, encouraged
by their wives and daughters who en-
joyed the exhllarating sport In Macon
