CHAPTER discontinued.

Darkness surrounded him. The door
went shut with a bang, and he heard
key turn in the lock-
When the voices of his jailers died
away along the passage, silence like
unto the grave fell upon John and his
surroundings.
He did not expect to sleep. His
situation was a desperate one, and
unless some means of securing his
liberty were discovered before another
day dawned, the chances of spending
the balance OF his life at Andersonville
seemed promising. That were a con-
summation devoutly to be avoided.
Thus, John had enough to spur him
on in his desire to escape. He was in
good health and had everything to
live for. Even the reckless spirit
that had marked his bachelor life
must be subdued, now that he had
taken to himself wife.
The matter was more than a Joke
with him. He had been deeply inter
ested in Mollie, and even while he
stood at her side during the brief
ceremony had secretly vowed to make
some attempt to win her regard,
though keeping the solemn pledge
made to her father.
His first act was to move around
the room, and find out its nature.
This gave him no encouragement, for
the walls offered little opportunities
in the line of escape A small slit
in the side allowed air to enter, but
the stones were well set and his best
efforts failed to dislocate any one of
them.
A search of his person brought to
light pocket knife which had some
how escaped the Argus eyes of his
captors. With this he set to work
digging the mortar from between the
stones.
Slow progress was made, for the out
side shell proved as hard as flint,
but as time rolled on the indomitable
spirit of the prisoner kept him en-
gagged, though his fingers were sore
and bled' from the continued exertion.
Once an opening was made, John
could look out and see the stars. A
shrewd observer of these heavenly

CHAPTER ~.

Why not try in another direction?
If to descend entailed too much
danger of discovery, what chance was
there for him above?
The thought aroused new hopes.
When, after feeling that the risk oil
a fall upon the roof below was too
great to be recklessly taken, Colonel
John twisted his head and looked
above. he felt very much in the humor
for giving vent to shout.
The roof sloped down within reach
ing distance of his embrasure.
i A determined man, crawling out OF
the opening, and resolved to risk
Everything on the cast of a die could
least grasp the coping.
J; After that success or failure must
rest entirely with his own muscular
powers.
4 He only waited long enough to cor
rectly gauge the distance and make
sure his muscles were in good condi-
Hon.
Then, pressing outward, he stretch
ed his arms upward until the edge OF
the roof was within his grasp.

bodies, he had become In common
with most soldiers during the war
for when men march and bivouac Tor
years, under the canopy OF oiue
heaven, they are apt to be better ac-
uuainted with the bright consultations
than those who dwell under the roofs
of houses.
The room in which he had been
imprisoned was at the tSp of the
house, and in his eager desire TO es-
cape the Yankee colonel had as yet
given no thought as to how he should
reach the ground when the breach
in the wall was wide enough for MN
TO crawl through.
That must be left to the future'
since there was no need of crossing
a bridge until it doomed up before
him.
Such indomitable energy was certain
of its reward. and when the prisoner
had buckled to his work for the fifth
time, hd realized that the end was
near. in so far as it related to his
charging the fissure to a proper size
1t had required considerable tact
on his part to avoid dropping por-
tions of the stone and dried plaster
nutside. .,,.o
= What little did fall seemed to strike
some wooden object below.
This gave him strong hope that
there might be roof under his win
dow.
The time had come to make an OBJ
servation. and thrusting his head
through, John surveyed the situation
as well as the circumstances allowed.
1t did not take him long to decide
that unless he could find rope, or
some other means of lowering himself
to the roof he saw some ten feet be-
low, escape in this quarter were one
of the things more to be observed IN
the breach than the fulfillment.
And while he pondered, another ex-
ceedingly bright idea flashed into his
mind

the fact that the earth is gradually resuming

Church Officers Appear In Girls Be-
half-Frie endless Lad, a Few Mo-
ments Later, Is Sentenced
for Stealing Bicycle

| Careless and apparently Indifferent,
as though it mattered not the slight
est whit TO her whether the court al
lowed her to go free or sentenced her
to a felon's cell i'm the state peniten-
tiary, Ruby Casselman, q young Sun
day school teacher, appeared before
Judge Smith yesterday and upon en-
tering plea of guilty to two charges
of forgery was allowed to go free on
two years probation.
The young woman was alleged to
have committed numerous forgeries. 1t
| was further charged that Of the money
she had secured i'm this way, amount
| ing to several hundred dollars, not
a cent had been recovered, yet when
she appeared for trial. accompanied by
| any number of church officers, and
when she freely admitted her guilt, she
was allowed to go free, through the
consent of the district attorneys s
office.
In striking contrast, however, was
the trial of Harry Brown, charged with
petty larceny, held several moments
before. The young man was accused
to having taken II bicycle worth not
more than SO. He had been n hard
working, industrious lad and had held
his position in the employment of an
| ice company regularly, but he had
| committed the crime of taking the
| bicycle. 1t was an unrefined crime
and he had no one to plead for him,
and for the $40 offense he was SEN
fenced to 100 days hard labor in the
county Jail.
Miss Casselman's trial was to have
been held this morning and she was
TO have been tried by a jury on a
charge of having committed at least
two forgerieS. But early Yesterday
morning, accompanied by three at
torneys. two Sunday school superin-
tendents. two ministers, her foster
parents and a host Of friends, she
appeared before Judge Smith in de-
partment one Of the superior court
and asked that her plea of not guilty
be changed to one of guilty. She fur
ther added she would throw herself
OH the leniency of the court.
In making his plea for Miss Casse-
man, Attorney Mulford said: After
a careful consideration of this case
we have decided to withdraw the
plea of not guilty which was entered
and change the plea to that of guilty.
l ask that the court enter as merciful
verdict as possible, for the reason
that the young woman is of such ten
der years that she ought to at least
be deserving of another chance We
have had u physician examine her
carefully, and he has reported that
while there is nothing wrong with her
intellect, she is slightly irresponsible
for some of her actions"
Judge Smith ordered that the girl
make her plea first, but offered no
induCement.
Miss Casselman, stand up" said
the court, and still with the same
carolessness the girl walked up to the
bench and was put under probation
for two years on one charge and, al
though she acknowledged herself guilty
of both charges, one was dismissed.
