She sat beside him, with the warm, young fin
gers in hers. and Number Fortynne slept peace
fully.
When morning came the warder found him
composed. He even fancied a smile fingered
round the boyish mouth.
'eWho let her in?" demanded the prisoner
eagerly.
'Let who in?" said the warder, staring.
The prisoner laughed. 81 forgot you could not
know"
A little while, and then, through the bright
August sunshine, he passed on towards the scaf-
fold so confidently that the warder rubbed his
ewes and muttered his surprise to an assistant.
At last Number Forty-nine looked down on
the crowding faces and then turned to those
waiting.
II am ready" he said dreamily.
But the moose had not touched him when the
crowd shouted loudly:
ga reprievel A pardon"
Dusty, foam-spattered, rider rushed his horse
through the glad crowd. In an instant he was oil
and up the scaffold steps, his message outstretch
ed to the Sheriff, who took it eagerly. NO one
marveled that the prisoner looked over the Off
GERS shoulder as he read. The message ran
briefly:
Lose no time with the execution. There is a
dangerous rescue afoot, but / have deceived
them as to the time"
Suddenly aware that the prisoner was follow

his pocket. "My God" he said, I'm sorry you

The horses had barely halted, with some pran-
cling and slipping on the Shiny cobbles by the
stable-door. and round dozen of frowzy troop
ers had barely turned out to meet them, when
a voice that Fenwicke knew was the thickset
mans bawled, "You there, you rogues, fetch
me that knave hither."
"That's l." Fenwcke told himself grimly, and,
out of the saddle before he was bidden, swagger-
ed across the court to the low porch where the
officer stood.
"You took this rascal prisoner" the buster
ing voice demanded.
SHe said he was friend, sir" proffered the
iovial corporal at Fenwickes elbow.
"Then he led" shouted the thick-set man.
"Hes a soldier; none but soldier ever stepped

wear his colors is a traitor and no friend to me-"

"BIr. Desker," remarked the head of the firm
of Grabbins & Co., "just raise young Wilkins a

the clerks room when there was circus pro-
Cession passing the Office, with two bands play

sat steadily at his work. Every other man in

Accordingly on the next payday Wilkins was
advanced, and few kindly words from Mr.
Desker revealed the source Of its origin.

looking in the dark eyes bent on him he forgot
to be either startled or afraid, even though the
newcomers face bore no radiant tidings of par
don or escape.
Number Forty-nine raised himself questioning
ly on his elbow. The movement flung the COW
erng from his shoulders and barred the broad
chest and round throat Of an athlete. His mus
cular hands were still brown with the kisses of
the sun. The eyes turned on his visitor were
frankly youthful, and shaded by such silken
ashes that the effect was patheticaly softenng.
The stranger smiled. "You are right to take
me calmly" she said in low, melodous voice,
"for I am your good angel, and / have walked
by your side for many years"
Number Forty-nne still looked his inquiries,
and she resumed, II could not be with you visl'

Number Forty-nine sat up and clenched his
hands convulsvely together Don't speak OF

"Any fool knows what it means to me! On

She drew closer to him. Suppose the years
had yielded life and not death?' she said very
softly. "Let Us watch the results"
At the gesture of her hands the walls grew
dim. Now they wavered into cloudy lines, now
to a curtain of mist, and then a picture shaped
itself with startling distinctness Number Forty

crossing the courtyard, sauntered over to him.
"Well, you, sirrah," he asked, shade less bTut-
ally, since he had just risen from dinner, are
you ready to own they sent you hther to plot
against me?"
''When [ came hither was what told you, ,

eyes. "Now I am what you have been pleased

but he pursued his wrath with burning gaze
Now he was in ballroom. There were lights
and flowers. He heard the voluptuous waltzes
in chords of passionate yearnng, and at his side
was the smiling face of woman, face only too
human in its sensuous loveness. The pictures
changed again and again, but thereafter she was
always with him, and finally she wore his ring.
Then poverty, biting poverty, came on them
both and she was at his elbow urging always
urging, that he must provide luxury for her, no
matter what the cost He yielded. He gave
her all she asked And the price was his honesty,
a stain on name unblemished for centuries. She
had spoiled the castle of his will and destroyed
all its defenses, and so, when another tempter
said Drink and forget" he drank.
Drank until Number Forty-nine no longer rec
ornized himself in the broken beggar of the
streets, in the maudlin coward crouching under
the lash of her bitter tongue.
The picture faded. The walls rose straight and
unbrolen. He was in his cell once more.
He looked. aghast into the face of his angel,
"Is Fate so strong%
"Ask rather" she said pitifuly, "are men so
weak? You have trained splendid young body,
the network of your muscles is resplendent with
elastic vigor But what of your dormant,
shrunken will? What exercises have hardened
and perfected it? You pass for scholar, and
rightly. You have fair share of the learning of
your day. But l say again-your will! Were
there colleges for that? Did they teach you to be
strong in The God-given power that makes every
man a law unto himself? Are you armed and
courageous in the fatal recesses of the soul?"
The mans head drooped.

voice. ''but 1 am your good angel, and l led
