came Bobby. His little face was
as white as a sheet and he could
hardly speak for moment.
Finally, when he did get his
breath, he gasped:
Foxy Grandpa, there's a lady
in some awful trouble. Come
down to the stream. You can
hear her crying. l came to get
you to find her and help her"
Bunny gave me a queer look
and frowned until his forehead
was all wrinkled up, when 1 said:
Lead the way, Bobby"
Down the rest of the mountain
we slid and when we reached the
creek Bobby took the lead.
We hadn't gone very far up the
stream when we all stopped at
the same moment. For we had
heard the most agoniZing screams
you could ever imagine.
I hurried my footsteps and was
astounded when Bunny shouted:

Grandpa

and as I tell you 1 can see the
great snow-capped peaks shin

the bacon which 1 cooked that
cool morning for breakfast.
How would you like to have
some fish for dinner, Foxy
Grandpa?". asked Bobby on that
morning.
''Finer answered, wiping off
the frying pan. Where do you
think you can catch some?"
Right down in that stream"
said Bobby, pointing to a noun

strip. of silver ribbon.

I; that. is farther than it looks.
Then you will have a good morn

So off down the mountain Bobby
started, with his trout rod under
his arm and a smile on his face
which did my heart good to see.
finished up the work around
camp and was just about to sit
down and take a smoke and a
rest when Bunny came hopping
up to me and said:
Foxy Grandpa, I'm worried
about Bobby down there in that
canyon all by himself. You don't
know what might happen"
You don't think it's safe,
Bunny?" 1 asked. Il don't be:
lieve there's a human being
within fifty miles"
1T isn't the human beings I'm
worried about" replied Bunny,
but you don't know what's stalk
ing around down there"
/ always listen to Bunny and
If he felt that way l was sure
there was reason for it, so / said:
Perhaps we'd better go down
there ourselves, Bunny"
And off down the mountain we
started. 1t was quite a distance
and how we did slip and slide
over the loose gravel, which made
regular ,tcboggan slide in many
places.
We had all but reached the

; when the lights suddenly went
out. just after a white-faced
prisoner had hurried from the
rear and up to the platform
where he whispered something TO
Hodson, who was in charge OF
the meeting.
Coincident with the extinguish'
nent OF lights came the smell OF
smoke, the flicker of flames On
the windows and excited voices
in the prison yard below. Every
one instantly realized there was a
fire. and for an awful instant
panic seemed Inevitable. Then
came q voice-the voice OF Con-
vict George Hodson-talking IN
the dark.
ITS a testp' he cried. "A test
of whether we're really men or
not! Don't get excited. II we
mess things up the newspapers VIII
Jump all over us-call us towards
and all that. Begin at the back
and march out and every man go
direct to his cell--no fooling,
now! Remember, we're all men,
every one of us"
Before he finished speaking the
men were on their feet, slowly
working their way down the
double aisles toward the one
egress at the rear, where
wooden stairway>led down to the
dining room below. There was no
crowding, no excitement. Swarms
or men shuffled past in the dark,
talking in low voices, wondering
how bad" the fire was. The
smoke was getting dense. Long
before the chapel was emptied
the men were coughing.
Flames Burst From Windows
In the dining room below the
crowd was obliged to wait While
comrades were counted, one by
one,l through a narrow doorway
at .the far end, leading to the cell

Meanwhile, flames had burst
from the cellar windows under
meath, and the smoke had in
creas ed until breathing was very
difficult. Finally the last man
was counted through that narrow
door. A few minutes later the
lookup count was checked by the
principal keeper, and 1t was found
that every prisoner was accounted
for. Not one had taken advantage
Of the darkness and confusion to
attempt escape or to make dis
turbance. All save those engaged
in fighting the fire were in their
cells. Yet, only the year before
Osborne's advent the prisoners at
Sing Sing had mutinied and set
fire to the shops in protest
against intolerable conditions.
During the time I remained at
Sing Sing never saw anything

Blackie had taken me for a
prison reformer''-he told me so
but when I told him I had
''done time and other things
about myself, he had '1oosened
up and we became friends.
, Blackie had subsequently been
released from the isolation ward
at Auburn through the interces-
sion of Osborne, and had within
very short time been elected by
the prisoners as an officer of the
Mutual Welfare League. Blackie
had contracted tuberculosis while
In solitary confinement at Clinton
prison, some years before, and
the disease had reached that
stage where there seemed no
hope of its arrest or his recovery
If he remained in prison.
To attempt getting a pardon
for him seemed hopeless. He had
been sentenced to life imprisn-
ment, and later to ten years adj
ditional. The life sentence had
been imposed following his Con-
viction of having participated in
q country bank robbery. at light,

OF his companions had shot and
killed Waterman.
Two OF the gang had been cleo

cape from Clinton prison, and had
been taken to court for that
offense and given ten extra years

since come down through the
dreary years with each month
adding to his pain and hopeless
ness.
It was some time during Janu-
airy Of 1915 that Osborne secured
Blackie's transfer from Auburn
to Sing Sing in the hope that the
change OF climate might be benefi-
cial, and because Blackie, with a
former reputation as the most
dangerous and desperate convict
in New York State, had developed
such a powerful influence for
good among the Auburn prisoners
that it was hoped his presence at
Sing Sing might have similar re-
suit Notwithstanding his much
impaired physique. y
Billy Duffy, Blackie's best friend
and helper had also been trans
ferred to Sing Sing. to act as
nurse-for Blacl1ie was then re-
naming on his feet day after
day only by sheer force of will.
I renewed my friendship with
Blackie at Sing Sing. where 1 also
came to regard Billy Duffy as

was Hodson who, some time later,
averted a panic and a possible
delivery of the prison.
This occurred one night while
the prisoners were assembled in
