come to read the death warrant, she
arose and moved toward the door.

up to the door, ne said: Mrs. Rogers,
am the sheriff. have brought you
good news"

said Mrs. Rogers as she extended her
hand through the grating. what Is
the good neWs?"
Governor Bell has granted you re-
prieve until June g." replied the
sheriff.

as though unable to comprehend the
meaning Of the words. Without a
sign of emotion, she gazed at the sher-
iff a moment, and then said: 81 had
given up all hope, but l am glad that
the Governor has granted me more
time. He Is good man."

if and his companions for the infor-
nation they brought her. She seemed
unaffected by the tidings, and as the
party moved away from the door Of

and resumed writing.
