an anxious young man.
He does not say whether he means how

His progress was very slow. His
destination was the river, which he
reached an hour after midnight, and
where he found an old boat, half full
of water. He discovered a piece of
board, crawled into the boat, showed
off and began to paddle. When dawn
was breaking he reached the American
shore, below Detroit, nine miles down
stream, wet to the skin, wounded.
blood stained and faint. But he knew
the country round about and made his
way into the city to the home of a
friend, knocked and was taken in,
clothed and fed. When his wounds
were healed and his strength returned,
he left Detroit resolved to enter upon
a new life.
But the Canadian authorities were
not disposed to tamely relinquish the

He sent out description of Phipps
to police headquarters all over the
continent The fugitive was billiard
room keeper and Murray calculated
that 1t would be simply question of
time until his money gave out and he
would be obliged to look for a job in

trade is maxim that also holds good
in the case Of fugitive from justice,
and the detectives surmise proved cor

took Phipps from Pullman to Chicago.
In the latter city the fugitive en-
ployed Jesse Ball, an able lawyer, and
made hard fight against extradition.
His counsel endeavored to show that
the shooting was done in American
waters, and there is no hanging in
Michigan. II the crime had been com.
mitted in American waters, Phipps
would have been tried in Michigan,
and II convicted. he would not have
been hanged Murray proved by the
captain Of the boat and a number of
its passengers that the shooting was
done in Canada waters, on the Canada
side of the river. The legal fight lasted
couple Of days, both sides calling
witnesses, and Phipps lost. An appeal
was taken and writ OF habeas corpus
issued, but the proceeding was dis
missed and Murray and his prisoner

wild fury filled his veins. He strug-
gled savagely, desperately, and finally
tore himself loose with a wrench SO
powerful that the momentum hurled
him over the WALL and he fell heav-
lily to the ground below. There he lay
for some time, severely bruised and
only half conscious. He was aroused
by hearing voices in the Jail. and stag
gering to his feet dragged himself
away in search of hiding place.
He came to a graveyard, and as he
crawled along in the darkness, fell
head foremost into newly dug grave.
Silent he lay without moving, with
fast-closed eyes and rigid body. He
heard a creaking and humping and
family, as though far away, he heard
the harsh rattle of earth falling on
the casket Yet no weight seemed to
press upon him, but this did not sur.
prise him, for he was long past the
stage of establishment. 1t was the end
and nothing mattered now.- He heard
the rumble of wheels as the carriages
departed and the footsteps of the
mourners died away.
His awakening came suddenly, &C
companied by a cold thrill of horror,
as his eyes opened upon the utter
darkness He tried to move, but his
entire frame seemed to be paralyZed
With a rush of recollection there
crossed his mind the memory Of the
burial. the prayer and singing. He
moved his head feebly and through
the hay caught sight Of the twinkling
stars. Slowly and with great pain he
managed to rise to a sitting posture.
Where was the coffin, where the six
feet of earth underneath which 1t lay?
He staggered to his feet and saw that
the grave he occupied was empty. His
brain whirled -madly in a maze Of tor
turing conjectures. What did 1t all
mean? He tried to Chamber out, but
fell back exhausted. He lay back on
the hay, rested and tried again. 1t
was the work of an hour for him to
drag his feeble limb over the edge OF
the pit, but at last he succeeded. Then
the mystery was solved. Close beside
the open grave from which he had
emerged new-made mound stood
darkly in the moonlight. The burial
had indeed taken place, but in the
grave adjoining that In which he lay.
The escaped murderer stood up and
laughed Historically as he looked
around and saw the distant outlines
of Sandwich Jail looming black and
gigantic in the moonlight Rallying his
failing strength he staggered away
from the grave that had been his place
of refuge. On the new-made mound
stood q vase of flowers, and bending
uown weakly, he plucked one and
tossed 1t into the empty grave.
Then painfully he turned and crept

whisper as they pointed towards a
well-known Detroit minister, who was
slumbering in nearby seat, is that
Phipps, the murderer"
Phipps merely smiled in reply. but
it was evident that the title of mur.
derer used in conjunction with his
name made him finch considerably,
and Murray was about to explain the
situation to the reporters when the
train started and the two seekers for
Information left the car hurriedly The
news of Phipps' coming had gone be,
fore him and when the train reached
Detroit there were nearly two hundred
of his former friends waiting at the
station to see him. The reception they
gave the prisoner testified strongly to
the high tide of popularity in his home
town and Murray felt still more ia
vorably inclined toward the man
whom duty compelled him to hand
law.
III see you fellows at the Michigan
exchange" called out Phipps to his
friends as he followed Murray into a
cab that Chief Bains of Windsor had
waiting for them. I'D like to take a
farewell drink there" added the pris-
oner to Murray, and the latter nodded
assent and ordered the cabman to
drive to the barroom in question.
Phipps' friends gathered there in full
force and crowded around him, shak-
ing hands and giving vent to loud ex-
pressions of sympathy. Finally Muir
ray delivered himself of a short speech
to the crowd that was trenchant ana
very much to the point
It's all very well to be sorry,
boys" said the detective bluntly, but
Phipps needs something more than
that What he wants is money for his
defense and I'm ready to start a col
lection right now" Murray backed up
his statement by making handsome
donation and the crowd. growing en-
thusfastic over the idea, followed suit,
with the result that comfortably
large sum was soon subscribed and
given to the prisoner. That done Muir.
ray asked him II there was any other
place in Detroit he wanted 10 visit be-
fore crossing the river.

oner. wistfully.
Many times in after life the detec,
tice was glad that he acceded to this
last request Of his unfortunate pris-
oner. The cab drove along Jefferson
street and Phipps gazed with soul
hungry eyes upon the house wherein
he had once lived SO happily. He
watched 1t out Of the cab window and
then from the window in the back un-
til 1t had faded from his view.
