CHAPTER VII
Help From the Dead.

T HE long ride on the brakebeam
 had covered MOntgomerys face,
 hands and clothes with dust
 and grease until he seemed a part of the bog in which he had sought shelter from the hounds at his heels. Moving cautiously and always fearful of a pit of quicksand. he sought one of the high and dry hummocks Biu had told him of
 He needed sleep and rest. for he had worn out his feet and legs in the race from Sing Sing to North Tarrytown and his arms in the swimming of the river. Clinging under a freight car for the rest of the flight had racked every nerve and muscle In him.
 Montgomery came to a little estuary of the bay piercing the marsh grass. On the other side he could see as he peered through the rent he made in the green wall rise in the marsh lev el and. topping it a cluster of wild flowers. He recognized it as his ref uge against high tide and a place where he could lie down and sleep. No bed ever felt so soft and alluring to a worn creature
 The sun at meridian beat down in a straight shaft upon the sleeping man. and gnats and mosquitoes fed upon him. but stin he slept Only semi conscious of the act, he pulled his gray blouse over his head and face and stuck his hands under 1t when the tor ture became too great
 In the afternoon the breeze from the sen increased to gale as the tide reached the flood and the skies be- came overcast A great clap of thun- der awakened the sleeping fugitive. The water was tapping at his feet
 The wind had sent mosquitoes and gnats to cover He stripped and wash cd himself clean A glance at the heavens told him that soon the rain would fall He had been twenty-four hours without a drink of water or particle of food Bill had warned him about the tortures of thirst He placed the felt hat given him by the burglar SO that it would catch the rain.

 The rain began Co fall. and the first splashing of it against his body was as a flow of ointment to the sores of Job after a flood of stale words from his comforter Bildad. the Shuhite.
 Up from the distant ocean the clouds rolled in great black folds. ripped rag redly in white streaks as the lightning played and as the thunderous voices proclaimed that a hot sky and a smll- ing sen had brought forth a summers storm
 The gale increased as the afternoon waued. and as his cloth reservoir filled he sQuatted beside 1t. making inst the sticks that held the corners and care fully guarding it Twice he leaned over and drank thirstly when it filled and began to overflow.
 He was gropng for more sticks of driftwood to strengthen bis reservoir supports when a white object in the marsh grass struck his eye.
 In the gloaming of a stormy twilight he could not make out just what the object was. and he parted the grass and leaned nearer. He recoiled with a little cry Of horror He had looked upon the face of a drowned man!
 For several minutes he stood naked and shivering. awed but not frightened. Then he parted the grass again, reach ed down and dragged to his little ls- land the abandoned tenement of Q mans soul.
 James Montgomery knelt beside the body and prayed And as he prayed there came to his mind the thought that none other than his merciful Fa- ther in heaven had sent to him this outcast of life He had brought with him an offering of a suit of clothes. In the pitch black of a night of storm the fugitive put upon the dead man the blouse with the white disk and white star of honor and the baggy trousers. ln the soaked and muddied suit of working clothes be took in exchange Montgomery knelt for a final prayer in parting with the dead and then dis appeared in the marsh grass toward the nearest shore lights.

As the men directing the bands of hunters reported by telephone from hour to hour that no trace of tue es- capped convict had been found the warden of Sing Sing extended his zone of search. Inspector Ranscombe was reached by telephone at his New York home. He save orders for a search of an railroad yards. and the Oak street police station was instructed over the telephone to send man to the little dut in oliver street and rout out Mike Kearney.
 At headquarters the lieutenant in charge of the detective bureau inform ed Eearney that there was no reason for haste.
 "The inspector just telephoned for you to wait here until he comes" he said. "Jim Montgomery, the yegg you sent up for life, escaped from Sing Sing last night and'-

 Kearney read the story carefully and then went to the identification bureau and secured all the records in the case of the police against James Montgom- cry. The inspector arrived at 9 o'clock, and Kearney was summoned before him immediately.
 "Well, Mike" hailed the inspector, "wbat do you think of the departure of Mir MontgomeryT
 Kearney shrugged his shoulders. "He ain't the first yegg to get out" he said. 'They got plenty of money and don't mind spending it The papers say he was the best machinist in the prison. I guess he'll be using electric drills on safes around the country"

YOUNGER BROTHER


BY n. M. Cochran.
You know how it is with brother,
A brother who's younger than you;
You'll say that you're glad you've no
other,
To mock all the things that you do.
He's wanting to smoke when he's
sixteen,
Though he knows a poor habit it
it's;
It's only because he wants to look big,
Just as big as that brother of his.
He dreams of long trousers and
derbys,
He's sporting your stickpins ga
lore;
And then when you look for your col
lars and shirts
You find they're not clean any
more.
His main little habit is borrow,
He'll take everything that you've
got;
And of all the things that you think
that you have,
They are just the things you have
not.
You get ore-it is mighty provoking,
When kids passing through his
young days;
There's no seriousness, he is all jok-
ing,
They're fright-are his habits
and ways.
Just the same though, he still is your
brother,
You should help him along and be
game;
Cause it is cinch, if things were
reversed,
You would be doing the same.

CLARK May Oppose

BY JOHN EDWIN NEvlN.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. March 27.-
speaker Champ Clark's sensational
attack upon President Wilson's Pan
anna tolls policy was accepted today

alton Of war.
The president himself declined to
comment upon II In any way. So did
Secretary Tumulty. But there was q
significant gathering Of the clans at
the White House prior to the resump-
ton Of the session Of the house.
Senators and representatives who
have espoused the administration
policy stopped to confer with Mr.. Tu-
multy and In q number Of cases with
the president himself. Although II
was cabinet day the president disre-
garded q prepared engAgement list
and such members - urged messages
were quietly ushered into his private
once. It was very plain that the
president again looked for the long
drawn-out declaration Of war.
There was considerable doubt 20
far 40 the administration was con-
cerned, - TO whether Speaker Clsrk's
move on tbs tolls question was to be
followed BY opposition from him on
other questions which the president
has sspoused. Clark has not taken .
positive position on the administra-
lions trust policy but II his opposition
to the special rule should cause ito
defeat. these would be no surprtss
felt BY the administration leaders.

oring to line up the house against the
president on trust and othsr import
