lIA OF senliss al0s' FROM which he
| awoke VITA start now and
| then. as he thought he beard again the
| mingled cries Of devotion and nlaiedic-
! lion. At lfst he slept sonndly and
awoke refreshed. but hungry. The
| loaf lay beside him, and with his knife
he cut slice from it. munching the
coarse bread with more of relish than
he had thought possible when he first
saw it. Then he took out another Gig
arctic, struck q match, looked at his
watch and lit the cigarette. 1t was ten
| minutes past 2. He wondered il a
night had interviewed, but thought 1t
unlikely. He had landed very early In
the morning, and now it was after
noon. He was fearfully thirsty, but
could not bring himself to drink from
| that stream of DEATH Once more he
| heard the bolts shot back.
| gThey are going to throw the poor
wretches into the sea-" he muttered.
| But the yellow CLEAN Of lantern
showed him it was his own door that
| had been unlocked.
You are to see the governor" said
the jailer gruffiy. sCome with me-
/ Jack sprang to the floor Of his cell,
REFRESHING a cry Of delight Nothing
| the grim governor could do to him
would make his situation any worse,
and perhaps his persuasive powers up
on that official might result in some
| amelioration Of his position. In any
case there was the brief respite of the
| interview, and he would gladly have
| chummed with the devil himself to be
1 free few moments from this black
| pit
! Although the outside door of the gov
ernor's room stood open, the room was
not as well iliumined as it had been
| before, for the sun had now gone
round to the other side of the island,
but to the prisoners aching eyes it
seemed a chamber Of refulgence. The
same lamp was burning on the table,
| giving forth an odor of bad oil, but in
| addition to this two candles were
lighted, which supplemented in some
| slight measure the efforts of the lamp
| At the end OF the table lay a number
of documents under a paperweight,
arranged with the neat precision of a
methodical man. The governor had
been warming his hands over the bra
zier, but ceased when Lermenton was
brought up standing before him. He
lifted the paperWeight, took from I'M
der 1t the two letters which Lennon
tof had given to the steward on the
steamer and handed them to the pris-
oner, who thus received them back for
the second time
81 wish to say remarked the gov
which was evidently quite genuine,
that if you make any further attempt
to communicate with the authorities
or with friends you will bring on your
self punishment which win be unpleas-

AAs a subject of the car have the
right to appeal to him, {" said the prince.
THE appeal you have written here, ;,
| replied the governor, would have
proved useless even If 1t had been de-
livered. The car knows nothing Of

hold entirely under the control of the
