After an interval Of silence, the man

The two prisoners discussed the

more so since the turnkey had been

not very familiar with the Jail popula'
ton. At the close Of their talk the
man from Iowa began to thank Hanlon

he went resolutely to sleep. Late in

have begun to turn green, and when
each Whit of breeze is scented with
the virility of new life. with rising sar
and swelling buds and the odor OF the
soil itself, the rich, black soil newly
plowed. 1t is day of fine weather
when an almost imperceptible film OF
heat quivers over the land that is
slumbering In the sunlight.
