 Between Chaplain Stebbins and the Rev Johnson, Rfeheson has not been without religious adviser at any time since he received on Friday the announcement that there was no hope of his escaping the electric chair Today Mr. Johnson and Rcheson had long and earnest talk on religious matters. When asked what passage of the Bible pleased him most Rieheson recited the 23rd Psalm.
 After reciting the Psam," said Mr. Johnson, .Reheson gave a most beautiful exposition of 1t, applying the truths of t to his own experiences and his own life"
 But the greatest comfort the con denmed man found according to Mir. Johnson, was the l7th verse of the 2sd chapter of Revelations.
 Let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely"
 This passage he repeated to himself again and again. The 12th verse of the 21th Psalm he Frequently repeated, ap- parently believing that 1t might appro- prately apply to his case:
 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are arisen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty"

when much younger. he had gone to
S. with his grandfather to see the
soldiers. He remembered the railroad.
1t was imperative that he should
reach 1t as far in advance of his pur-
suers as legs and a stout heart could
carry him.
For miles he ran with the feetness

fifteen miles of the blacklist of forests

roads. A subconscious triumph now
inspired him. born Of the certainty
that he had left his enemies far be

tracted and bewildered him. 1t was
some time before he could grasp the
fact that a circus was holding forth in
the lower end of the town. The subtle
cunning hat had become part of his
nature within the past forty-eight
hours forbade an incautious approach
to the grounds. He gave the circus
loved thing of tenderer days-a wide
berth. finding his way TO the railway
station by outlying streets. His FIRST
thought was TO board an outbound
train. to secrete himself in one of the
freight cars. The sudden. overpower-

from his mind combined with the dis
