The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1911-11-16

someone turned restlessly in bed,
the noise stopped; all was quiet again;
the rasping. scraping noise recon-
menced.
I got up and stood at my door
looking out, could see nothing but
the light in the corridor and it made
the darkness more oppressive; some
one further along started to talk in
his sleep as in nightmare; could
hear but four words, stop don't do
it." as if in answer to my own
thoughts, stop before you are ecaught.
But no, when all was quiet again
the scraping recommended and,
seemingly, with more vigor, for
could hear it more plainly.
/ knew, or thought / knew, that
it wasn't getting any closer, but that
it was increasing in strength, and
what was my surprise when | saw
a shadow creeping closer and closer
to where | stood; the scraping noise
growing louder.
watched it, as one in a dream,
until it had passed my door, but to
save my life / could not utter a
sound or move a foot, / was one
hypnotized.
/ watched the shadow fit past my
door to one of the stays between the
wall and the flag running, as walk,
around the cell block. 1t hesitated
moment and then started across;
when about half way over ! moved
and it stopped; it seemed to rock
back and forth as if to keep its bal
ance, but started again as soon as
things were quiet.
1t made straight for the wall close
to the window; the window is about
four feet from the end of the stay
in the wall. 1t stopped about two
feet from the wall and seemed te
measure the distance to the window
an though it contemplated jumping.
Was it going to jump? Could it
clear the distance if il did? Yes, it
was going to jump. it has gathered
itself for the leap.
/ heard distant foot-step coming,
slowly at first, but swifter as it drew
nearer, and then more footsteps
from different directions, all, SEEM
ingly headed for the shadow as it
balanced on the stay. / had nearly
forgotten the shadow and when next
saw it it was on it's way to the
window ledge, where it landed sure
+ ly and safely; then to the bars and
more scraping.
All was quiet again for the space
of moment. The next noise was
like unto some inanimate object stri-
king the ground. 1t must have been
heavy. if not large by the way it
ratified the windows.
next heard whistle as though
might birds were calling; something
of signal, and answered from far
ther away.
thought l had lost my shadow.
but no! What is that ] see just in
side the circle of light cast from the
window? 1t is the shadow with two
bright but small lights as of stars
ltwinkling in the heavens.
i Just outside the circle of light |
see two more similar lights. outside
aid, possibly. and coming nearer.
They both seem to contemplate to-
gather and then move, slowly. but
surely out of my line of vision.
i But what is itp You will ask.
Oh, it was nothing but rat steal
ing Of one A. F. B's., shoes to make
house of. You see, he, the rat
mean, was going to get married and
he picked the largest shoe he could
find SO as to have plenty of room to
raise the family in. What is that
B.? Only ten? / wish you could
have seen the shadow! Watch il
. fellows the next time he passes

If I meet the girl with the
Primrose hair.
stt So fair.
swear!
If meet a maid with
Eyes of brown
In town
I'll drown
Myself in their liquid depths.
IF I meet a Miss with a
Rubber nose
Proposel
Who knows-my choice
If meet dame with
Wooden-head.
Instead,
Be lead.
To lay my heart meath her
Throbbing feet!
