Come along, 752," said the head
warder cheerfully, clapping an enorm
GUS hand upon the young mans shout
der. 1.-THE chief wants to say good
bye to YOU"
The convict stepped out Of his cell
and followed the head warder obedi
emily. Three years Of discipline had
taught him to ask no questions, to
demand no reasons. He hardly dared
to hope that the pardon board had
granted his petition.
""Tention! Eyes front! said the
head wsrder mechanically, and the
convict mechanically obeyed. But the
governor stretched out his hand and
took the convict's in a hearty clasp.
1.-THE board of pardons has granted
you your freedom, Graves" he said.

In Mapleton." he added. handing the
missive to the prisoner.
Graves read 1t and the governor
watched him curiously. The young
fellow had impressed him favorably
ever since he had entered the peniten'
tiary three years before to serve q
first sentence for forgery. He had
been q model prisoner; but he seemed
curiously hard. Even now he seemed
unaffected either by the letter or by
his release.
YES. sir. I'll run straight In future" y
he answered.
Good" answered the governor.

anew. You will find people kinder

her in his hungry arms.

PRUSSIAN LOAN SUCCESS
Lottery Feature Adopted Be-
cause of Failure of Other Issues.

Berlin, Jan. 30.-The issue of the new
Prussian loan OF approximately 100000

to-day to have been n success. II consti-
tutes new type Of public security in Ger
many. ne IL is redeemable by annual draw
ings covering n period OF years. The en-
tire redemption will take sixteen years.
but holders who do not wish to withdraw
their money when their notes are drawn
are 10 be allowed 10 convert them Into
per cent bonds.
This lottery feature OF the new financial
transaction was adopted by the govern
ment because OF the failure OF various
public issues in 1913.
As the treasury notes are redeemable AT
par and subscribers pay only " for them.
those whose notes are drawn for redemp-
ton within tho next few years will re-
ceive a high rate OF interest. while the
average return for the entire period OF SIX
teen years will be fully AZ per cent the
government itself pays 4.S per cent for the
accommodation.
1t is thought probable that further
issue Of about 100000 will be made
later this year. These large sums are for
the expansion OF the railroad and canal
systems OF Prussia and for other produc-
tive purposes.
