Nearly All of my plans were
thwarted. l have made a mess or
my lie and am glad TO die and end
IL all, II from my confession my
cousin can gain freedom
(Signed) ROBERT STEVENS.
Now everything was clear. Phil could
understand why Eben had tried so hard
10 talk and tell of the accident that
had caused his uncles death.
Many things were cleared up by the
confession. Phil understood why his
cousin had been arrested on the charge
Of murder and convicted. The over
Eben's speech was purely accidental,
but Bob had been made TO pay the
penalty for it
The remainder of that day and all of
tile next were spent in plans for the
new trial.
The lawyer was busy with Bradshaw
and the bath trusty, getting their testi-
mony into shape. for the captain had
favor.
Daring thought more OF Alice than of
anything else. He wanted to keep his
mind on the trial II was discouraging
to think that now, when he had every
thing to hope Tor, there was no chance
for him 10 enjoy 1t all, unless he could
hear something of the whereabouts of
Alice.
He called for the daily newspapers
and read about his sensational pardon
The case had spread all over the coun-
favor and the editorials expressed the
hope that ne would be freed in the
new trial.
Then came the actual trial day. Phil
was steady and composed 1t was a
very brief affair. The jury was quickly
chosen, and the Judge Overuled all at
tempts the prosecution made to delay
progress.
The testimony was quickly taken.
Bradshaw and No. 7711 admitted that
they had perjured themselves, and Mr.
Bristol had arranged his questions so
that they would get Oft with as light
sentences as possible.
At length, after three long days, the
jury went out. Ten minutes later they
returned.
Their verdict was re eived with ap-
piause and Immediately the news was
spread all over the country by telegraph.
Phil Daring 1T last. was a free man.
The jury had found 1im not guilty
He was overwhelmed with congratu-
lations. Then q great crowd of friends
and acquaintance accompanied him
back to the prison. where he was to be
discharged in regular form,
It WAS great to be free and out in
the world. Everything smelled sweet
The grass never looked brighter or
| fresher. and the sky itself was mar
vel TO Phil for hours.
But throughout 1t all there was a
dull, d,smal tone that Daring realized
Where was Alice? Could he ind her?
He questioned DR. Lyons closely.
| When had he seen her last2 How had
| she looked? Where had she bought her
| ticket to?
A thousand eager questions sprang
| from his lips. The world was all right +;
| IL was great to be free; but there was
| a vague emptiness everywhere. Alice
/ was the missing charm.
He walked into the rrison yard with
/ his lawyer and DR.. Lyons. How differ
| ent was his feeling now. There was
a smile on his face. He shuddered a
: little as he saw the old dollhouse. But
he would never have 70 go back there.
/ He was free. The words rang In his
ears.
While waiting to get HIS regular dis
charge, the captain congratulated him,
and several guards and attendants that
he had known added their best wishes.
At last the red tape was finished.

next day was to mean much 10
him. II the governor granted him
a pardon he would have very
good chance 10 free himself from the
second charge.
In the morning he was up early, wait
ing anxiously.
About an hour after breakfast a guard
stopped at his cell with bundle.
From the captain" he said, handing
It in.
Phil opened the package at once,
It contained a new prison suit Of black
and gray.
He looked down at the red stripes he
had worn for so long. A suggestion OF
tear was in his eye.
Am 1 10 wear these instead?" he
asked the guard
Yes" was the reply.
Daring put on the new suit hurriedly
Il was the first step toward freedom.
The captain had relieved him of the ig-
nominious stripes.
Il was a wonderful relief TO Phil TO
ind himself clad like the others.

concerning his pardon He had expert

Then came telegram. Phil's hands

hour. until the following words were
firmly printed in his mind:
