WHEN NERVE COUNTED.
How Peaitentiary Warden Escaped
Death by Keeping Cool.
Chicago News.)

Early or a certain morning many
years ago The warden OF a penitentiary,
an elderly, gray-bearded man, was AT
work at his desk. On a sudden he heard
q. panther-like tread in the room, and
he OWNED a presence behind him that
would have made a less fearless man
faint away.
The presence was that of one Patrick
Burns, a desperate, who was doinS Efe
service for murder. This man held an
ugly looking dirk in his hand The
warden knew he was alone with the
most dangerous prisoner in the peniten-
tiary
Pretending ignorance of Burns prox-
unity, the warden went on with his
writing as if the criminal were not in
existence But his brain, remote from
the papers that lay on the desk te-
fore him, was calculating with the
swiftness and the accuracy peculiar to
brains when the owners of them are in
danger of their lives.
First of all, the warden wondered
how Burns had managed TO slip past
the guards. and how he had come into
possession of the long, ugly dirk. Then
he reflected that the murderer had
grown gray in prison, that he knew all
the ms and outE Of it. and that he
had been studying nights and days,
year after year. how he could accom-
pish this very feat.
