but I can say that I shall always re- member them for their kindness" he said. Tears trickled own his checks.
 I'm going to Chicago he said. First am going to visit some friends in Connecticut. But I am off for Chicago have good friends there. and 1 will work making shirts. 1 guess I ought to know something about making shirts-Tve been cutting them for II years now" he said with a smile
 It was suggested to the newly freed man that he might find the things ot the world rather strange to him. But he didn't think 50.
 You see,' he said. T have been keeping well posted. 1 have been read ing scientific magazines and the news papers l know all about the autOmo- piles and the electric cars. Of course, you know, have seen an airship. Yes, I saw that one that passed near this place some months ago. That poor chap who was operating it is the one who was killed some weeks ago down south.
 We have sen the warden's automo- bile out in the ward, and of course we could see the electric cars hurrying along through the street across the way"
 Men Sign Papers.
 Both Murphy and Dorsey, the latter a dignitied appearing chap, with his hair streaked with gray, carefully part ed in the middle and wearing glasses with a gold chain. were led from the prison into the warden's office where they were requested to sign papers bearing upon their pardon.
 Murphy, with n smile wet with a stray tear now and then. seemed as if he couldn't use the pen soon enough. He read the document through care fully until he came to a passage re- quiring that he agree to make his per manent residence out of the state, un- der penalty of being remanded to pris- on to serve his 'unserved sentence"
 T wonder what they mean by that" he said, looking up at Warden Me Cusker with a smile. T guess they mean until I die. Sure I'll sign any agreement they make, even if it said that I would have to drag a ball and chain out with me-" Dorsey signed his agreement in silence.
 Both men left the institution with money in their jeans" Murphy had $35 in greenbacks. In Murphy's roll was a S10 bill. a present from Frank c. Speck, superintendent of the shirt : factory where Murphy has been work ing.

 Each man received a years dividend of S20, their share of the proceeds ac- crued from the sale of shirts made in the prison, Each also received S5 from 1 the state, which, with new street ap parel, is prescribed by statute. The two prisoners shook hands with all in the party. They sat with Dr. 1 Wheatland in the rear seat of WardeI 1 McCusker's auto and with MT. McCoart in the front seat with the chauffeur 1 left the prison yard waving adieu be- i tween smiles and tears.
 1 The departure marked an epoch ir the history of the prison. They were i the first men who had served such . i long time in the prison to be liberated and their liberation Vas further an in 1 Jeresting one because it was of a dua nature.
 Street clothes. entire outfits, were 1 purchased for the two men in a stort 1 in Providence Saturday morning, anC when the warden brought them bacI to the prison Murphy and Dorsey ! chuckled gleely as they logged them ] selves out.
 Everything went smoothly until Mur, phy started to get into his trousers | 1uey appeared small TOT Q man or lll birth, and he speculated with mucl ! doubt before he attempted to clasp tn, waist loop. He was right, the tops O the trousers were shy of meeting b! about two inches.
 It didn't take much urging on tn, part of the warden to get Murphy t, wear the trousers, notwithstanding their shortcomings temporarily. Be
 sides, it was not very embarrassing for his overcoat covered the gap, un til he go to the store, where anothe
 pair of trousers, which fitted as trous CTS are intended to fit, were produced Then the big fellow felt better abou
 his sitting with the governor. Reaching Woonsocket at 2.45 in tn

 Mrs. POthier for nearly two hours Murphy, when he bade farewell t the governor, said he proposed to de
 vote time to obtaining evidence tha would clear him of the stain upon hi
 name, and he repeatedly announces
 that he is convinced he can prove hi innocence.
