Editor The Georgian;
1t was my good fortune to spend
last Sunday in your beautiful

the singers left the choir, The or

weight and force, essential in mascu-
line games, but not a part of basket
ball.
Ana the wonderful thing about a
girls basket ball game is that she has
all the accuracy, sometimes more, than
the man in throwing goals The basket
ball is thrown always with the peculiar
overland motion that always distin-
cuisines the woman's throw from the
mans. Boys have to learn to throw all
over again when they take up basket
ball. 1t is natural to the girls.
on this account while the girls could
never compete with a male team on
account of the roughness, they are new

from a small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
low exclamation of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply EMBODIED his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom, and as IL that we're not
enough, kissed him full and long upon
his lips.
"My dear! My dear!" she murmured
in French. What has happened, o,
what has happened? My poor, poor
boy!"
Now the integral madness of all this
was as effectual in restoring O'Rourke
to partial consciousness as had been
a douche of cold water In his face.
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that it was all a dream.
And yet, when he looked, 1t was to
see. dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp. the face Of a woman as beauti
full as young, as young as beautiful.
One glance was enough. O'Rourke
shut his eyes again. IF look toe

I been an amorous dram-drinker; this

But as he breathed this benediction
the iron door swung inwards and he
stumbled across the threshold, half
fainting, hardly conscious that he had
done more than pass from open night
to the night Of an enclosed space. His
foot caught on some obstruction and
he went to his knees with a cry that
was a cross between a sob and a
groan; and incontinently fell full
length upon an earthen floor, his head
pillowed on his arm, painting as If his
heart would break.

lantern running down knife blades
he conceded the moment imminent
when he must sever his connection
with the Pelican. Moreover he had
shrewd suspicion that Hole was up
and only waiting for an opening to use
his revolver.
Leaping to the rail, he poised an
instant, then dived far out from the
vessels side, down into the Stygian
blackness of the harbor water; a good
clean dive. cutting the water with
hardly splash. he went down like an
arrow. gradually swerving from the
straight line of his flight into long
arc-so long. indeed, that he was
well-nigh breathless when he came to
the surface, a dozen yards or more
from the Pelican.
Splitting out the foul harbor water.
and with swift glance over his Shout
der that showed him the Pelican's
dark freeboard like wall, and a
cluster of dark shapes hanging over
the rail Mt the top vaguely revealed
by lantern light, he struck out for the
nearest vessel. employing the double
overland stroke, noisy but speedy.
That he heard no cry when he came
to the surface. that Hole had not de-
tected him by the phosphorescence
and that he had held his hand from
firing. at first puzzled O'Rourke; but
he reasoned that Hole probably feared
to raise an alarm and thereby attract
much undesirable attention to himself
and his ship. In the course of the first
few strokes, however. he managed to
peep again over his shoulder, and from
concluded that he was to be pursued
by boat; which, in fact, proved to be
the case.
Fortunately the Pelican rode at an
Choir in waters studded thick with
other vessels, affording plenty of hid
ing places on night as black as that.
The adventurer made direct for the
first vessel, swan completely around
1t, and by the time the Pelican's boat
was afloat and its rowers bending to
the oars, he was supporting himself by
hand upon the unknown ships cable,
floating on his back with only his face
out of water
Under these conditions, It was
small wonder that the boat missed him
SO completely.

James Delahunty, Deputy Warden Char

wounded Dollhouse Keeper Doody.
The three convicts then made their
escape from the front entrance Of the
penitentiary, and We're swallowed up in
the blizzard that is raging here. The
killing was done by Convicts Moreley,
Taylor and Dowd, each sentenced for
bank ROBBERY. Morley has previously
served in Missouri for murder.
The trio shot Deputy Warden Wag-
ner in his office, just off the chapel
which looks out into the prison yard
Doody was shot just outside the cell
house. of which he was the keeper. The
murderers, after blowing off the lock of
the first door which leads into the public
entrance of the prison, rushed the turn
key at the point of a revolver, forced
him to unlock another door, took his
keys and let themselves into the main
corridor.
Before the men let themselves out
they had shot Warden Delahunty and
Usher Heilman by firing through the
barred doors, the two men having
rushed out of their offices into the main
corridor when the first shot was heard
The warden was shot once and Helman
twice. AS the trio rushed past the
warden, another bullet was fired into
his body as he leaned against a door
casing.
None of the other convicts attempted
to escape. The turnkey Immediately
locked the remaining convicts in their
cells.
AS soon as news of the uprising reached
the Governors office the local company
of State Militia was sent by special
train to the penitentiary. Sheriff Hyers
and Chief of Police Hunger also started
with posses. Governor Aldrich directed
that Adjutant General Phelps be put in
temporary charge of the penitentiary.
| 1t is believed weapons were struggled
in to the convicts by former prisoners.
Word was received at the penitentfary
at o'clock that three men had been seen
going into a haystack about three miles
west of the penitentiary. A poose is now
on the way to the place.
A spirit Of unrest has been pre-
valent among the conviots for more than
month and on February II a negro
convict, Albert Prince, fatally stabbed
