ATELECTBICAL SLIP.
public opinion had been triumphant
. ly vindicated. The insanity plea had
tirolcen down, and Albert Prior waa uen
tenoed to be hanged by the neck until
he was doad, and might the Lord have
mercy on his soul Evt-rybody agrocd
that it was a righteous rcrdiot, but now
that he was sentenced thoy added,
"Poor follow!"
Albert Prior was a young man who
bad had more of his own way thuu was
good for him. His own family father,
mother, brother and sisters luid given
Wny to him so muuk that ho uppourud
to think the world at large should do
tho same. Tho world differed with him.
Uiifortunutoly tho first to oppose his vi
olent will was a woman u girl almost.
She would huvo nothing to do with
him and told him so. He stormed, of
course, but did not look upon her opio
Bit km as serious. No girl in her Hoimes
could coutinue to rcfuno a young man
of his prospects in life. But when ho
heard that she luul Ihvomo eugoged to
young Boweu, tho telegraph operator,
Prior's rage passed all bounds. Ho do
teriuiuod to frightcu Bowen out of the
place and called At the telegraph ottico
for that lutulable purpose, but Bowen
Was the night operator and was uKsent.
Tho clay muii, with u smile, not know
ing whut he did, said Bowen would
likely be found at the Parker placo,
where Miss Johnsou lived with her aunt,
her parents being dead.
Prior ground his teeth aud departed.
He found Miss Johnson ut home, but
aloue. There was a stormy scene, end
ing with tho tragedy. Ho lired four
times at her, keeping tho other two bul
lets for himself. But he was a coward
aud a cur at heart, and when it eaino
to the point of puttiug the two bullets
into himself ho quailed aud thought it
best to escape. Then electricity did him
its first disservice. It scut his descrip
tion far und wide, capturing him 20
miles from his home. He was token
back to the county town where ho lived
and lodged in jail.
Public opinion, ever right nnd all
powerful, now asserted itself. Tho out
ward and visible sign of its action was
an ominous gatheriug of dark browed
citizens outside the jail. There wtre de
termined mutteriugs among the crowd
rather than outspoken anger, but tho
mob was tho more dangerous on that ac
count One man in its midst thrust his
closed hand toward the sky, and from
his hand dangled a rope. A cry like tho
growling of a pack of wolves went up
as the mob saw the rope, and they clam
ored at the gates of the jaiL "Lynch
him I Jailer, give up the keys!" was the
cry.
Tho agitated sheriff knew his duty,
but ho hesitated to perform it
But the keys were not given up. The
clamor had ceased. A young man with
pale fare and red eyes stood on the top
of the stone wall that surrounded the
jaiL He held up his hand, and there
was instant silence. They all recognized
him as Bowen, tho night operator, to
whom she had been engaged.
"Gentlemen," he cried, and his clear
Toico reached tho outskirts of the crowd,
"don't do it Don't put an everlasting
stain on the fair name of our town. No
one has ever been lynched in this county,
and none in this state so far as I know.
Don't let us begin it If I thought the
miserable scoundrel inside would escape
if I thought his money would buy him
off I'd bo the man to lead you to bat
ter down those doors and hang him on
the nearest tree, and you know it"
There were cheers at this. "But he
won't escape. His money can't buy him
off. He will be hanged by the law.
Don't think it's mercy I'm preaching;
it's vengeance!" Bowen shook his
clinched fist at the jail. "That WTetch
there has been in hell ever since he
heard your shouts. He'll bo in hull, for
he's a dastard, until the time his trem
bling legs carry him to the scaffold I
want him to stay in this hell till ho
drops through into the other, if there is
one. I want him to suffer some of the
misery he has caused. Lynching is over
in a momont I wont that murderer to
dio by tho slow, merciless cruelty of the
law."
Even tho worst in the crowd shudder
ed as they heard these words and realiz
ed as they looked at Bowen's face, al
most inhuman in its rage, that his thirst
for revenge made their own seem al
most innocent. Tho speech broko up the
crowd. The man with the ropo threw it
over into tho jail yard, shouting to the
sheriff, "Take care of it, old man; you'll
need it"
And so it came about, just as Bowen
knew it would, that all the money and
Influence of the Prior family could not
help the murderer, and he was sentenc
ed to be hanged on Septte'l, at 6 a. m.
And thus pnblio opinion was satisfied.
But the moment the sentence was an
nounced and the fate of tho young man
settled a curious change began to be no
ticed in public opinion. It seemed to
have veered round. There was much
sympathy for the family, of course.
Then there came to bo much sympathy
for tho criminal himself. People quoted
the phrase about the worst use a man
can lie put to. Ladies sent-flowers to the
condemned man's coll. After all, hang
ing him, poor fellow, would not bring
Miss Johnson back to life. Howover,
few spoke of Miss Johnson; she was for
gotten by all but one man, who ground
his teeth when he realized the instabili
ty of pnblio opinion.
Petitions were got up, headed by the
local clergy. Women bogged for signa
tures and got them. Every man and
woman signed them all except one,
and even hp was urged to sign by a tear
ful lady, who uxked him to remember
that vengeance was the Lord's.
"But the Lord has his instruments,"
said Bowen grimly, "aud I swear to
you, madam, that if you succoed in get
ting that murderer reprieved I will be
the instrument of tho Lord's von go
an eo."
"Oh. don't say that, " pleaded tho la
dy. "Your signature would have such
n effect You wero noblo onco and sav
ed him from lynching, be noblo again
and save him from tho gallows. "
"I shall certainly not sign. It is, if
you will pardon me, an insult to ask
me. , If yon rcprlevo him, you will make
a murderer of me, for I will kill him
when he comes out, if it is 20 years
from now. You talk of lynching. It is
Such work as yon oro doing that makes
lynching possible. The people mm all
with yea now, more shame to thorn,
hxC the next murder that is committed
will be followed by a lynching just be
cause you are successful today. "
Tho lady left Bowen with a sigh, de
pressed because of the depravity of hu
man nature, as indeed sho baa every
right to bo.
The Prior family was a rich and in
fluential one. Tho person who is alivo
has many to help; the one in tho grave
has few to cry foe justice. Petitions
calling for mercy poured in on the gov
ernor from all parts of the state. The
good man, whoso eye was entirely on
his owu reflection, did not know what
to da If any one could have shown him
mathematically that this action or tho
other would gain or lose him exactly so
many votes, his course would huvo been
door, but his own advisers were uucer
tuin about tho mutter. A mistake in a
little thing liko this might easily loso
him tho election. Sometimes it was ru
mored that tho governor was going to
commute the sentence to imprisonment
for life. Then the rumor wis contra
dicted. People claimed, apparently with jus
tice, that surely imprisonment for lifo
was a Buflli'ient punishment for a young
man, but every one knew in his owu
heart that tho commutation was only
the beginning of tho fight, and that a fu
ture governor would havo suftlcient
pressure brought to bear upon him to
let the young man go.
Up to tho I'Uth of Hoptomlier the gov
ernor made no sign. When Boweu went
to his duties on tho night of the 20th, ho
met tho sheriff.
"Has any reprieve arrived yet?" ask
ed Bowen. Tho sheriff shook his head
sadly. Ho had never yet hanged a man
and did not wish to licgiu.
"No," said the sheriff, "and from
what I heard this afternoon none is like
ly to arrive. Tho governor has made up
his mind ut last that the law must take
its course."
"I'm glad of that," said Bowen.
"Well, I'm not."
After 0 o'clock messages almost ceas
ed coming in, and Boweu sat reading
tho evening paper. Suddenly there came
a call for the office, and tho operator an
swered. As the message came over tho
wire Bowen wrote it down mechanical
ly from tho clicking instrument, not un
derstanding its purpose, but when ho
read it ho jumped to his fivt, with an
oath. Ho looked wildly wound the
room, then realized, with a sigh of re
lief, that ho wan alone, except for the
messenger boy who sat dozing in a cor
ner, with his cap over his eyes. He
took up the paper again nnd read it with
set teeth:
Sheriff of Iircnllnir County, Hrentincville:
Do not unwed further with execution of
Prior. Sentence commuted. Docutui iitSKrnt
oil by tonight' mail registered. Answer that
you underatand this mesaage.
John Pay, Govornor.
Bowen walked up and dowu tho room
with knitted brow, no was in no doubt
as to what ho would do, but ho wanted
to think over it. The telegraph instru
ment culltfl to him, und he turned to it,
giving tho auftvcriug click. The mes
sage was to himself from tho oiwrator
at tho capital, and it told him he was
to forward tho sheriff's telegram with
out delay and report to the oflico at tho
capital a man's life depended on it,
the message concluded. Bowen answer
ed that the telegram to tho sheriff would
be immediately sent.
Taking another telegraph blank, ho
wrote:
Sheriff of Brenting County, BrentlnRVille:
l'rucaed with execution of Prior. No re
prieve will be sent. Reply if you understand
this measagu. John DaT, Governor.
It is a pity it cannot bo written that
Bowen felt some compunction at what
ho was doing. We like to think that
when a man deliberately commits a
crime he should hesitate and pay enough
deferenco to the proprieties as to feel at
least a temporary regret, even if ho goes
on with his crimo afterward. Bowen's
thoughts wero upon the dead girl, not
on tho living man. He roused tho dos
ing telegraph messenger.
"Here," ho said, "toko this to tho
jail and find the sheriff. If ho is not
there, go to his residence. If he is
asleep, wake him up. Tell him this
wants an answer. Oivo him a blank,
and when he has filled it up bring it to
me. Give the message to no ono else,
mind."
The boy said "Yes, sir" and departed
into tho night Ho returned so quickly
that Boweu knew without asking that
he had found tho sleepless sheriff at tho
jail Tho message to the governor, writ
ten in a trembling hand by the sheriff,
was:.
I understand that tho execution is to tko
placo. If you should change your mind, for
God's pake teltigruph as soon oh possible. I
shall delay execution until last moment al
lowed by law.
Bowpn did not send that messago, but
another. Ho laughed and then cheeked
himself in alarm, for his laugh sounded
strange. "I wonder if I am quite sane,"
he said to himself. "I doubt it. "
Tho night woro slowly on. A man
representing a press association came in
after 12 and sent a long dispatch.
Bowen telegraphed it, taking tho chances
that the receiver would not communi
cato with the sender of tho reprieve nt
the capital. Ho knew how mechanically
news of the greatest importance was
taken off tho wire by men who havo au
tomatically been doing that for years.
Anyhow all tho copper and zinc in tho
world could not get a message into
Brentingvillo except through him until
the day operator camo on, aud then it
would bo too Into.
Tho nowspaper man, lingering, asked
if there would le only one telegrapher
on hand after the execution.
"I shall havo ft lot of stuff to send
ffer, and I want it rushed. Somo of the
papers may get our speciala I would
have brought an operator with me, but
wo thought tliero wan going to be a re
prieve, although tho sheriff didn't seem
to think so," ho added.
"Tho day operator will lx hero at 0,

PIERCE. sr.CURE
On KONEV RETURNED.
wrltV' answered Bowen without look
ing up from his instrument
"Thanks. Grim business, isn't it?"
"It is."
"1 thought the governor would cava
Didn't you?"
"I didn't know."
"He's a shrewd old villain. He'd
have lost next election if he'd reprieved
this num. People dou't want to see
lynching introduced, and a weak kneed
governor is Judgo Lyuch's friend. Well,
good night Seo you in tho morning. "
"Good night," said Boweu.
Daylight gradually dimmed tho lamps
in tho telegraph room, and Boweu start
ed und caught his breath us tho church
Itell began to toll.
It wan 10 minutes after C when Bow
en's partner, the day man, canie in.
"Well, they've hanged him, " he said
Boweu was fumbling among some pa
pers on his tablo. Ho folded two of
them mid put them in his inside pocket
Then ho spoke:
"Tliero will bo a newspaper man hero
iu u few moments with a good deal of
copy to telegraph. Hoi h it off us fast us
you can, and I'll bo back to help before
you are tired."
As Boweu walked toward the jail
ho met the scattered group of those who
had been privileged to seo tho execu
tion. They wero discussing cupital pun
ishment, mid somo were yawning, com
plaining about tho unearthly hour cho
sen for tho ftiuctiou thoy hud just bo
held. Between (he outside gato and .tho
jail door Bowen met tho sheriff, who
was looking ghastly and sallow in tho
fresh morning light
"I havo conto to givo myself up,"
said Bowen before tho official could
greet him.
"To give yonwelf up? Whut for?"
"For murder, I suppose. "
"This is no time for joking, young
man," said the sheriff severely.
"IX) I look like a humorist? Read
that,"
First incredulity, then horror, over
spread tho haggard face of tho sheriff
us ho read nnd reread tho dispatch. He
Staggered back against tho wall, put
ting up his arm to keep himself from
fulling.
"Bowen, " he gasped. "Do yon do
yon mean to to tell mi that this mes
sago camo for mo last night?"
"I do."
"Aud you you suppressed it?"
"I did and sent you a falso ono. "
"And I havo hanged a reprieved
man?"
' ' Yon have hanged a mnrdoTor yes. "
"My God! My God!" cried the sher
iff. Ho tinned his face on his arm
against the wall und wept His nerves
Wero gone. Ho bad been up all night
and had never hanged a man before.
Boweu stood there until tho spasm
was over. Tho sheriff turned indig
nantly to him, trying tohido tho feeling
of shamo ho felt nt giving away, in
auger at tho witness of it
"Aud you come to mo, you villain,
because I said I would help you if you
ever got into a tight place?"
"D n your tight place!" cried tho
young man. "I conio to you to givo my
self up. I stand by what I do. I don't
Squeal. There will bo no petitions got
up for mo. What uro you going to do
with mt?"
"I don't know, Boweu; I don't know,"
faltered tho official, on tho point of
breaking dowu. Ho did not wish to
have to hang another man and a friend
at that. "I'll have to see tho governor.
I'll leave by tho first train. I don't sup
pose you'll try to escape?"
"I'll be here when you want mo. "
So Bowen went back to hulp tho day
operator, and the sheriff left by tho first
train for the capital.
Now a strango thing happened. For
the first time within human recollec
tion, the newspapers wero unanimous in
commending tho conduct of tho head of
tlio state, the organs of the governor's
own party lavishly praising him, tho op
position sheets grudgingly admitting
that ho had moro backbone than they
had given him credit for. Pnblio opin
ion, like the cat of the simile, had
jumped, and that unmistakably.
"In tho name of all that's wonderful,
sheriff," said the bewildered governor,
"who signed all those petitions? If
tho papers wanted the man hanged,
why in tho fiend's naino did they not
say so before and save mo all this wor
ry? Now, how many know of this sup
pressed dispatch?"
"Well there's you mid your subordi
nates here nmV'
' "We'll say nothing about it. "
"And then there is me aud Bowen in
Brontiugville. That's all"
"Well, Bowen will keep quiet for his
own sake, and you won't mention it?"
"Certainly not"
"Then let's all keep quiet The
thing's snfo if somo of thoso newspaper
fellows don't get after it It's not on
record in the books, and 'I'll burn all
tho documents."
And thus it was. Publio opinion was
onco more vindicated. Tho governor
wus triumphantly re-elected as a man
with some stamina about him. Robert
