 The sheriff read the order and, think ing that the condemned man had been hardoned, turned him over to his wife. Then the two jumped into the cart and drove like mad to a railway station a few miles distant, where they caught q train bound for the French border.

As soon as the truth was known Il conference was held by the authorities. but nothing was ever done about the matter. for when they learned that Kcmpfer was in a foreign land they did not try to get him. and in time his wife convinced them that he was an innocent man.
