he determined to make an attempt to
escape and hide or leave the country.
His first move was to ask for pen
and paper with which to write letter
to his wife. His request was granted,

the sheriff before sending it. 1t con-

responsibility. His fathers freedom,
his life, depended upon him. In ten
seconds he had grown ten years older.
That night the little fellow, with
forty feet of rope coiled over his right
shoulder and under his left arm, the
claw hammer tied to one end of it.

and looked over the fence, expecting to
see guard. There was no watch out

Not As 1t Read.

as man should be of his beautiful
young wife, was just about rising to
speak in debate when a telegram was
put into his hands. He read it, left

Charing Cross and took the train to
Dover. Next day he returned home,
rushed into his wife's bedroom and,
finding her there, upbraided the aston

protested her ignorance of having done
anything to offend him.
''Then what did you mean by your
telegram he asked
