THE WALL

ing of a heroine. But once when she
found herself locked up inside four
walls, she had soon felt the loneliness
and the weight of the heavy hands
of the law. For hours she had cried
in silence, but then she began to feel
better and loked upon herself as the
heroine Of a romantic adveture. Sit
ting up in her bed she crossed her
arms over her bosom as if to re-
ceive the bullets of the soldiers. But
all at once she remembered that she
was alone and she burst out sobbing
like a child.
The sentry came rushing up and
looked through the peephole in the
door and the sudden appearance of
his eye at the hole had made the
young girl laugh. and the good
hearted soldier was touched and
smiled. too, until he remembered his
duty and managed TO look stern and
speak roughly as usual.
Thus it happened that the dis
cipline was broken for the first time
inside the dark prison. The news
soon spread all over that there was
young girl prisoner in the building
How did the prisoners find out?
They had not ben able to hear her
voice when she was first locked up in
her cell, but words in the secret
alphabet ran through the prison. They
had not seen her for she took her
daily walks in the prison yard alone
but they had recognized her light
feminine step along the corridors
She was very musical and as she
missed her piano dreadfully she sat
down in a corner of her cell and
began to tap the rhythm of her ia
vorite tunes with her foot. The 9TH
er prisoners in their dark holes heard
her overhead, recognized the rhythm
and began to hum the tunes to them
selves The whole somber building
was transformed by the presence Of
this woman.
In the cell next to her was a young
man. The prison had already robbed
him of eight months of his life. but
it had not been able to cool the ardor

In the midst of vast plain lies
great black fortress on the bank Of
a big river Towards evening when
everything else is silent the rushing
waves alone break the silence of ma
ture.
Inside the fortress all the floors
were full of prisoners, During the
day the house was like tomb, a
catacomb in which all the holes were
full of living and sane people, asleep
on their mattresses or staring at some
object or other inside the cell until
they were on the verge of madness.
But when evening came the build
ing awoke to life. Everywhere pris
oners were rapping on the walls and
thanks to a secret alphabet they were
able to carry on long conversations
Occasionally the sound of heavy
steps along the stone corridors
plunged the whole building into Sd
lence, and when the jailor had pass
ed life began again. The prisoners
became accustomed to their mute ex-
istence, they could only talk with
their fingers. and they even learned
to form an opinion of the character of
their correspondent and his social po-
sition from the way he Knocked.
Sometimes, however. they were seized
with desire to cry out aloud to
talk little, as If to ascertain wheth-
ed they really still possessed a voice.
One night when the whole prison
was conversing, a strong, young
hearty laughter was heard in the
clear voice of a young girl The
prisoners we're scared. Surely some
thing quite abnormal had happened.
The rappins on the walls stopped,
the whole prison was silent. But a
second time the sunny laughter
sounded through the prison. strange
ly as if a dead person had suddenly
spoken.
She who had laughed was almost a
child. When they had come to arrest,
her at her mothers house she had
not understood how serious the affair
was, but had stood up proudly and
followed the officers with the bear

head against the wall.
one day something happened which
made the whole building tremble with
terror. A prisoner had discovered
that they were erecting the gallows
within the prison and all night the
knockings sent the horrible news from
cell to cell. Then the taps came faster.

floor to ceiling below, the prison.
ers gave one another advice They
consoled one another asked questions
and said goodbye. 1t was as If the
angel of death tapped his dark wings
against the prison walls At last the
sounds died away and each prisoner
was living over again in his agonized
soul the story of his past life.
That night the young girl felt some
strange emotion in the knocking
from her neighbors cell. His fingers
trembled as il with fever. Surely he
had something grave and important
to tell her His finger-taps implored
and cried and at last they died away
as if with a sigh. She felt that he
was pressing his face against the
wall, that he was kissing the cold
stone, but she did not understand the
secret he wanted to confide to her.
Outside the wind was signing in
the tree tops and whistling through
the chimneys and the gratings of the
windows. Never had her cell seemed
so dreadful to her Several times she
had knocked al the wall but her
neighbor was silent. as if he were
angry with her. Then she grew sad
and threw herself on her cot and
cried as if her heart would break
The whole prison was silent but
for the heavy steps Of the sentries.
At last she could stand it no longer,
terror stricken, she sprang up, ran to
the wall, knocked, prayed, sobbed and
whispered: Answer me! What are
you doing? What is the matter? I
am afraid! Answer me, oh. oh,
answer me-"
But there was no answer. a

of his young heart He felt as if it
lay dormant in his bosom, and i'm the
morning just after he had got up he
threw himself on his cot and spent
hours thinking of his childhood. After
a while he had become Indifferent to
most things, he did not care whether
it was sunshine or rain outside, but
it took only a sound, a whisper to
awaken his heart
On the other side the wall he could
hear the light step Of a young girl
and when in the twilight she tapped
with her foot a nocturne by Chopin
he felt happy as he had not felt for
long time. He saw before him a
young forest during the first days of
autumn, here and there a ray of
sunlight shot in between the trees,
an abandoned castle was reflected
in the water. OF the deep meats, a
young girl was walking under the
pine trees, silent and mysterious
walking from a strange world to a
world far away
He had tried to talk to her through
the wall. His fingers told her of
his love who are you? l feel that
you are young and beautiful and |
love you l am as strong as a lion
and when night comes l will break
down the wall and carry you off. l
will hide you at my bosom and fly
far, far away with you"
She heard the sound of his fingers,
but did not understand. for she
did not know the secret alphabet,
though she felt that beyond the wall
there was a heart which belonged
to her, a voice that called her After
that she pressed her ear against the
wall to hear, to try to decipher the
myterious language and sometimes
she knocked too. as If her fingers
knew how to speak. When night
came she laid down on the floor
close to the wall and knocked to hear
if he was there on the other side.
They remained thus and with her fin
gers she sang songs to him and told
him of her love. Without knowing
why. she felt that her songs reached
