Icould ascertain, was about the size
of a hall bedroom, and absolutely
empty. The walls were perfectly
smooth. There was not the faint
est light or sound. The visitor
could not determine in which di-
rection the door lay, for it fit
ted completely into the walls.
He sank down upon the hard
floor and closed his eyes, striving
to busy his mind with thoughts of
his work. He had said farewell
to all eternity. Nobody would
know of his whereabouts.
One hour, as he adjudged,
slipped by, and another. He grew
impatient. He strained his ears
to catch the approaching steps of
the warden. And when they were
long, long overdue, he heard
them, very faint, in the corridor.
A trap door was let down from
somewhere, and in the pale light
the visitor perceived a loaf of
coarse bread upon an iron tray.
Here's your days food" said
a voice, gruffly.
Excellent warden" said the
visitor, laughing nervously. "But
isn't my time up YETI"
cit out" said the voice. "Six
days more here for yours, F 23."
Say, let me out" cried the
man inside. II said two hours,
and it's long past that now. I've
got my boat to catch"
well, I'm gol-darned," said
the voice, admiringly. Pretend
ing to be the man from the par
don board, amt yer, Bill Castles.
It's agin the rules to talk to yer,
though, so take yer medicine"
And he was gone.
Stupefied, the man remained
crouched within. Had the trusty
really walked out in his clothes
and left him there? Surely prison
discipline was more strict and in
telligent. And yet, would they
Pioy ouNu a IilCh upOh MN, d HlBH
official of the state? He waited.
Then the hours began to roll by.
A terrible fear beset him, and he
began to shout, moderately at
first, then more and more loudly.
And at last, thoroughly alright
ed, he pounded the walls madly,
raving and screaming, until he
sank into a stupor.
A day later, as he guessed, the
loaf was again flung into his cell.
Then for the first time he real
lied how ravenous he was. He
leaped upon 1t and tore at It
eagerly.
For Gods sake, listen!" he
screamed. I'm Robt., Smythe, Of

Good fer you. Bill Castles. :"
said the attendant. slamming
down the trap door. And the long
night descended on him again.
Times not quite up. sir; IT'S
only en- hour and half. said the
warden, throwing open the door.
II thought it'd be all you'd want.
Won't you come out? Why
why"
Upon the floor of the cell lay
the torn shreds of the prison garb. |
And in a far corner a man. nude
to the skin. with bleeding hands,
crouched and gibbered and NUT
tered vacantly at the warden.

ers. Why. my dear man, / can
spend couple of hours there
and come out fresh as a daisy.
I'm sailing for Europe tomorrow
to Investigate the prison systems
Of different countries. and l want
to add this last experience to my
Investigations here"
Let me put in a comfortable
couch for you, them" said the
warden.
"No, sir. / shall go as a con-
victed prisoner does. And, by the
way. to heighten the illusion, I'll
put on stripes"
Very well, sir. Your desire,
as I understand, is that all your
surroundings shall be such as to
create in your mind the illusion
that you are prisoner under long
sentence?"
"Quite So" said the member of
the board.
The warden called a trusty,
while the member was discarding
bis clothes for the stripes. Take
this gentleman to w. g." he said,
and the convict and visitor set off
together. They descended a
gloomy stone stairway and stop
ped at the door of a cell, above
which the light burned dimly. The
trusty turned the key upon the
visitor and extinguished the gas.
The visitor was left in complete
darkness.
Cautiously he felt HIS way
around- The cell. AZ far as he
