said Daring to himself as he finished
reading the letter. and the advice
about keeping up my hope is unneces-

The contrast came to Phil with fright
ful force. He looked around his quar-
tiers, thought OF the future and smiled
cynically. Then he tore up Alice $

on his chest.
Meanwhile news of the attempted es-
cape from prison had reached DR. Ly-
ons. and in the morning the physician
entered the room to see Phil.
They talked for some time and little
hope was expressed by either of them.
Phil told the doctor all that had hap
pened since he had been in prison. and
Or. Lyons shook his head.

Phil was handeuffed and driven IN
the prison wagon to tie nearby court.
There he sat III the pen and dimly
watched a secoo3 jury being fmpaneled

did not commit.
It was a hopeless affair. There was

through by prison authorities, who de-
manded a conviction in order to insure
the safety of the Commonwealth against
escaped convicts.

its case.
It was brief and concise. witnesses
