Conway should naturally
have been hated by both citi-
zens and employees. since he
had taken equally active parts
against both: but curiously
enough he remained a universal
favorite. Everybody admired
his courage and the impartiality
of his attitude, and he had a
peculiarly active personality.
Most of the keepers associated
with him were sturdy sons of
Erin who admired a goodighter
and a fair fight. The most des-
picable person to them was a
tattler. And as Conway was a
fair fighter and no tattler, never
having been known to open his
lips against friend or foe, he re-
NAMED on the best of terms
with all of them. Among the
citizens his record as a daring
safe blower was sufficient to
cause admiration, and his record
as fighter insured their respect.

ward again. But what a
different man from the
dauntless fighter of the
day before! The uncon-
querable, unquenchable
spirit had gone forever,
and in place was a grovel-
ing creature. who begged
that he might be spared
another such experience.
Days and weeks passed,
and still he did not forget.
Indeed. he never again
raised his hand in resis-
lance to anyone in au-
thority in the City.
Practically every in
stitution in the world
adopted @hyos, and for
several years it was con-
sidered one of the most
helpful agents ever de-
vised for the purpose of
controlling obstreperous
citizens. Then better
methods were introduced
for governing the Walled
Cities,-more attendants,
more room, better CLASH
fication of the inmates,
prolonged baths, etc,
and the dreaded "shot"
passed into history.
nNE of the most Gu
rious paradoxes in
the life of the community
is the fact that in times of
danger, when the Walled
City itself or some of it's
rulers are threatened,
these very citizens are
the most active in avert
ing the calamity.

fact that if either of

any number of un-

be practically impos-

that his exhaustion
would not come until
many bones had been

only way to over
power such a man
would be for the at
lacking party to work
in systematic relays,
each taking its pun
