pushed his finger into a slit in the mat

Daring was apprehensive.. The air
seemed laden with impending harm
He stood silent and then suddenly
looked at Bradshaw.
His ceilmate evaded the gaze. and
dropped his eyes to the floor. In them
was a cruel CLINT that startled Phil
Come here, Bill!' cried the old in
spector.
The guard who was engaged in
searching Bradshaw stopped work
abruptly. ana Joined his companion.
They talked in low tones together,
looking at the mattress. Phil watched
anxiously. He could see little. for both
backs were turned toward him
Who sleeps in this bunk?" demanded
one or the guards, turning quickly.
y DC" answered Daring.
Come in herep'
Phil went slowly. His eyes were fixed
on the ground. He felt that trouble
was brewing for him.
The guard who had ordered him to en-
ter thrust hand suddenly before Oar
ing's face.
In it was a small thin. flexible file
and round bit of steel broken off at
one end.
In flash Phil recognized the small
piece or metal as the half of the needle
that Bradshaw had lost in the shoe
shop.
Looking at it closely he found that
the instrument had been carefully fled,
and now represented a Jagged saw cut
ting teeth having been made on the
edge. evidently with the aid of the small
file
The whole thing came to Phil in a
fash. For the first time he understood
the strange look that had been in
Bradshaw's face all day.

With that the guard called another
man TO take his place, and took Phil
to the prison office at once.
Daring knew what he could expect
there. The heavy-jowled superinten-
dent was IN his chair, and looked up
with an amused expression when he

Phil considered the thing well. Some
thing must be done. He could not lie
idle with this going on. He planned a
dozen courses of action, but q length
decided 10 do nothing.
An hour later the noise stopT ed. For
some time Phil missed the vibration.
Then he fell asleep.
In the morning, while his cell mate
was getting the scTubbirg pail. Phil
quickly threw back the covers to tie
lower ht-ak and looked carefully for
traces of a hiding place.
The work had to be done cautiously,
as convicts were passing to and fro in
the. corridor. and he did not want to
raise suspicion.
Suddenly at one corner he discovered
a slight uneven place in the mattress.
Inspecting the thing closely, Phil found
that the mattress evidently had been
ripped at that point and then sewed up.
Carefully feeling of the cotton stuff
fing, Phil could locate no hard objects.
There was no other place where a file
could be hid He could not explain il
at all.
Again he felt the mattress, going over
that part inch by inch.
A sudden footstep behind him caused
Daring to wheel abruptly.
There stood Bradshaw. He had re-
turned with the water and brush. On
his face was an amused smile.
They gazed at each other for full
minute.
Then Bradshaw wrinkled UP his face,
pursed his lips, and signed to Phil in
Zip language
His mouth made but one werd and it
was thrice repeated, so that Phil should
fully understand.
That word was 'fooii'
Daring's breakfast was mechanical.
Every time he caught Bradshaw's eye
the former coachman would let the
word fool" express itself in the sound
less language.
During the morning they worked ST
lently and hard 1t was not long before
Phil forgot the incidents Of the night
before in the contemplation of his hope
for a new trial.
At noon they returned to tie dining
hall, and Immediately after the meal
the lines formed for the prison build
ings instead of the workshops.
This was new TO Daring He had been
accustomed TO returning TO work imme-
diately after the MONDAY meal. Evil
IDENTIFY this was some special day. The
prisoners faces told him nothing as the
lines marched back to the cell build
ings
They dropped into their inches with
out a word and then the do,rs changed
to.
After fifteen minutes the locks were
thrown on by the mechanical device
for mat purpose and Phil pressed his
race against the bars TO see what was
going 10 happen
He wondered vaguely If they were to
be allowed a half-holiday.
Looking out ne saw four guards en-
ter the room and stop at the first two
cells. From these the prisoners were
led out, and two Of the guards searched
lheH, while each OF the remaining pair
entered one Of the empty cells and be
gan inspecting carefully.

corridor.

of Broad Education.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa, June s.
Speaking as an undergraduate who,
thirty-four years ago, gave up the
study of calculus for that OF Black
stone, upon the advice Of the president
OF the university, who was quick to
recognize in young student a taste
for letters and who charitably excused
ny lack of aptitude for scientific pur-
suits by ettributing TO me capacity in
other directions" George W. Wicker
sham, Attorney General Of the United
States, today delivered the alumni i'd
dress to the students Of Lehigh Uni
versity.
Casting aside the great legal cares
OF his department for the time being,
the Attorney General sailed over the
placid sea of literature. science and art,
with the basic theme an admonition
against engineering students specialize
ing too early in life so that they
neglected that broad and catholic
foundation upon which special training
should be based.
Broad Education.
BY summoning TO mind some Of the
mighty men of the world in the arts
and sciences, he strove to impress upon
the class the desirability and necessity
OF such broadening education as would
enable the engineers to lead the world
in social and political anairs, as they
have been doing in practical achieve
ments
The speaker noted the almost irresist-
ible tendency in an age of great techni-
cal and Industrial development toward
pure materialism-a disposition TO ex-
tol such accomplishments beyond all
others. and TO undeTvalue or not at
all to realize the value OF mental cul-
ture in any other than purely technical
lines But he declared that almost
without exception, the great men whose
names have been written large in the
history of science were men of broad
culture, often almost as proficient N
literature and art as in sciences
General Cultivation.
He declared that men Of energy ana
determination would. of course. over
come all lack of early advantages. but,
he said, general cultivation today is
so widespread that the man who enters
upon his life work with mere techni-
cal training, when he comes In con-
petition with men OF broad culture, Is
at a decided disadvantage.
Mr.. Wickersham is a recognized stu
dent in the arts and sciences. a linguist
and musician of accomplishment.
