nodded to the electrician to turn on the

In an instant the electric arc was

tartly, have you yet to learn that the
Governor of the. commonwealth may
take none but official cognizance of a
convict? Then he asked, with soft

Nothing definite, as yet"
See here. then. Tommy would be a

they're in reach, for I'll stand the ex-

Very good indeed. warden. I'll give
