He had reached the road now and
was running swiftly and silently in

farther on he turned off into the fields,
for. though the stones and stubble
cut into his feet, he knew it was safer
there. Indeed, he was hardly away

ing to the current to land him at some
safe place. Now he could guide his
course, to some extent at least, and
reach the other side Of the river,
where lay less thickly settled coun-
try and fewer dangers.
Almost Immediately he was out into
the current. He dared not use the oar
within ear-shot of the guarded wall,
but allowed himself to drift slowly
past the prison buildings. past the
little town that clustered around them,
until the lights faded out of sight be-
hind him, Then he set to work with
the oar and slowly forced the boat out
toward the farther shore. II was slow
work and difficult. for the boat, with
its fiat bottom, turned and twisted in
the current like snake; but little
by little his skill with the oar and the
power Of his long, muscular arms had
their effect. and before long the boat
was rubbing its nose against a muddy
shore.
Thick woods stretched down the
hillsides clear to the waters edge.
The lonely spot was to Reagan's lik-
ing. He jumped out and showed the
boat back into the current that there
might be no danger of it's serving as
evidence of the course he had taken,
Then he turned into the woods, grasp
ing at weeds and bushes in Chamber
ing up the steep slope when his feet
slipped on the damp dead leaves.
Not until he had reached the top of
the hill did he stop for a moment. The
night was growing clearer; the moon
was popping over the woods across
the river Far away the prison
doomed like a big black shadow; and
as Reagan gazed at it, the JOY Of free
dom surged in his veins, and he shook
his fist in triumph.

I'M TOO smooth for 'em. Let 'em
come on! I'm not afraid of 'em. Let

The words caught IN his throat, for
suddenly the great whistle of the
prison shrieked its alarm across the
water. the startling message to town
and countryside that prisoner had
escaped.
He struck into the woods on the
western slope OF the hill and went
