well. 1 might be able to find your wife and help her I'd treat her almost aa if she was my own mother"
 The old burglar put hand on Mont gomery's shoulder.
 Boy" he said, you got a heart of gold"
 TO put the risk of detection at its minimum Bin Hawkins proceeded with bis task of making the suit of clothes for bis companion's getaway with such caution that it promised to cover whole year of work
 To steal the cloth. piece by piece. was no easy task The eyes of the guards were keen and there were con yicts who were suspected of doing the work of spies for the prison officials. Every night for a month Bin reported to Montgomery his efforts Of the day, and at the end of that time he brought under his blouse enough cloth for the drst section of the suit
 To cut 1t in the dimensions he had riveted in his memory was even a harder task The greatest care was taken to prevent the theft of tools and a missing pair of scissors would have resulted in a search of the cells of all thoe who worked in the cutting room. He was compelled tU cut the cloth right under the noses of the guards in tue cutting room "The Butcher" and "Idaho Shorty" sheltered him as much as they could as he worked fur lively and quickly. and, finally, after ! two months, the first piece of the coat 1 was made. lt was smuggled into the cell and slowed away in the mattress of Bills bunk Stolen needles and thread were used to sew up the seams 1 of the mattress again.
 Montgomery could have stolen W 1 sharp knife from the machine shop so | that Bill could work in the cell, but | the old burglar would not let him run the risk Discovery of such a theft would have meant the loss Of disk and chevrous and a transfer to some other branch of prison work
 The second autumn in prison passed Into the second winter and Bil still 1 stuck to his task Spring came and an of the pieces for the coat were ready and in the cell safely hidden away. To assemble them Bill would have to make every stlch by hand.
 At night, after the supper hour, the two prisoners washed out their towels and hung them on a piece of string in their cell Behind these the burglar crouched as Montgomery watched at the door. He sewed until the lights went out. but the work was slow and painful. He had no thimble, and one finger after another was worked into pulpy condition The making of the coat took all summer, but Bin was so interested ln the task that he eYeu sewed fin his bunk after the lights were
 turned of, feeling every stitch in the dark with raw fingers that spilled
 blood but with patience that never
 Jagged
 Another year was started. and the
 coat was finished. Bin stole the elott
 for the trousers which would replace
 the tubellke neither garments of th' prison uniform.
 All the while No. G0,10s was perfect
 ing himself in mechanical work. sool
 he was informed that he would be thu
 man to succeed tho convict foremai
 when the latter was given his liberty.
 As foreman of the shop Montgomerl would have degree of liberty given t' few convlcts. On busy days he woull be exempt from roll calls, and whel the care of machinery required it h
 could spend bis evenings fin the shol ] He would superintend the acceptanc and assembling of all new machine
