be worked into a cup into which

This yegg was sullen and de-
fant under discipline. He made
no friends either among the pris-
oners or the guards. He had never
known restraint, except in prison.
He had never practiced self re-
straint. He was bad-bad all
through. He was an outcast, a
pariah. His hand was against all
the world. This yegg must not be

latter is tramp, but not neces-

both a tramp and criminal. The
American yegg is without doubt
the most dangerous criminal in

be separate prisons for them.

Wright, probably with money

fundamental nature. so far as the
