! PART II.
Long before the sun came up, but
When the misty dawn-light began, like
a thin fog. to stream down from a
high and narrow window, my fellow
prisoner arose and resumed his walk.
And with a strange Impatience I waited
to aee If daylight would confirm the
Impression that had come upon me as
the dying candle rays were flitting
upon the gloomy wallB. But before the
day was strong there came footsteps
down the corridors. The slide-window
In the door was opened, and the thick
voice of the fat jailor was poured In
upon us.
"Boys, stirring about already? Don't
believe It's- a good plan to stir about
much before you eat a bite. Had an
uncle that broke a colt before break
fast and aged so fast afterwards that
be died at ninety. Bring the wedding
breakfast this way, Nick. Our cook
got married this morning while the
water was boiling. Hah. how's our
hossthlef this mornln'? Came In one
A beln' a nightmare ylstlriy evenln',
eh? Yes, sir; durln' the off season of
'.he year, when the boys ain't got much
to do, they'd as soon hang a man as
not. But they don't mean no particular
barm by It."
Thus he talked, while the turnkey
"spread" our breakfast; and he stood
there, his great round face filling the
wlnodw, until breakfast waa cleared,
and even then he hung about until It
grew light enough for me to see htm
wink. And this he did several times,
slyly looking at me and then at
Haines. In his "squint" was legible
the tact that he had been Intrusted
with the secret of my mission, and I
cannot say that It was an agreeable
discovery. I fancied that I could al
ready see unconscious betrayal stew
ing through his hanging jowl, and,
hardened as I was, I must have blushed
for I grew sick at the thought of stand
ing exposed before that young fellow,
meeting the contemptuous look of his
melancholy eyes. Then the daylight
had confirmed the Impression left by
the dying candle.
The day wore along, and our ac
quaintance made but slow progress. I
waited for his advances, but he made
none. When not walking, he sat where
the light was strongest, reading a lead
colored pamphlet.
"What are you reading?" I asked.
"A fool thing."
Who wrote it?"
. "A fool."
"Ah, I didn't know that a piece of my
work had found its way into this
place." He laughed. "I suppose it
might just as well have been yours,
but it happens to be mine an amateur
play printed at my own expense."
"Has It been played?"
"Yes; It had a one-night run In the
church for the benefit of the same."
"Was It a success?"
"Quite. Respect for the church debt
forbade anyone's leaving the house, al
though there was a good deal of titter
ing when the moon got out of order,
burned, the . negro's . fingers and fell
down."
"What's the name of the piece?"
'The Detective.' "
"I suppose you make him a hero."
"No; a black-hearted villain."
"Served him right." I replied; and It
was well that he did not look up, for I
felt a slow shiver creeping over me.
At night another candle was placed
above the door, and sitting In Its yellow
glow he grew more Inclined to talk se
riously of himself. He had been well
educated, had tried to do a number of
things, had done ill had failed as a
country editor, had learned telegraphy,
and at last had settled down to a lonely
midnight luncheon in the wayside of
fice of an express company. I was
sorry for him, for I knew that hidden
somewhere a success might He waiting
for him, as It does for many of us; but
ah, how long it lies waiting, and how
rusty It haB grown when sometime we
find It! His features, now that I had
become better acquainted with them,
were weaker, and this Increased my
pity; but I was resolved to do my duty;
I would win him If I could.
The days passed and he called me
Dick. We had read the same books.
In our admiration for the same book
or poems lies the first tottering of many
a downfall. In a similar taste we recog
nise our second self, and shrewdness
huts Its eyes and dreams.
We talked about books, and those of
Ma favorites that I had not seen I pre
tended to love. It was night, and the
candle was burning above the door. .

"A man must live with one self and
write with another," he said.
"We all have two selves," I replied.
"I know that I have. One self does
wrong, and the other self, which la a
sort of Indulgent parent, suffers over
It."
, He looked at me and was silent. A
shadow fell across his face. He looked
up at the candle and said: "We'll soon
be in the dark."
"We are always In the dark," I an
swered. "In darkness while we are do
ing, and only step out Into the light
. long enough to look back and find that
we did a wrong while in the dark. I
would give half my life If I could recall
one dark night."
He leaned toward me. "What hap
pened?" he hoarsely asked.
"I don't know but I might as well tell
you A trouble aired Is lighter for the
airing. It is the secret trouble that
cats the heart, I am here suspected of
crime."
"Tea?" he said, eagerly.

-But there Is no direct proof against
me. Come closer. That fat Jailer might
be out there."
He did not get up; he scrambled
across the floor and sat down near me.
"I had bees out of employment a long
time," I went on, speaking low, "and
was forced to quit the city. I wan
dered about doing odd jobs, desperate,
hating the world. Well, one day, not
long ago, I came Into a neighborhood
not far from here. I stopped at a farm
er's house and asked for something to
eat He received me into his house,
placed a chair at his table and treated
me as his guest A rainstorm came up
and he Insisted upon my remaining over
night with him. Just before bedtime a
hired man came In to receive his wages,
HIS TROUSERS WERE UNDER HIS
PILLOW.
and I saw the old man take out his wal
let, and when he had unwound a string,
laying It carefully across his knee, I
caught sight of a fifty-dollar note.
Soon afterward 1 was shown to a"room
Just above. And I lay there thinking
of that money. At first I turned over
with a shudder. And then the weary
miles I had walked stretched out be
fore me. 1 could see the dust of the
road and the heat danced on the hot
hill-top, and in the glimmer I saw that
old man's money. I turned over
again not with a shudder, but with a
mere shiver and I saw myself treading
that dry road; and I saw a railway
train sweeping past, and 1 caught sight
of two men as they tipped their glasses.
They saw me, and one of them shouted:
'Not for you. poor fool. I rob the poor,
but you haven't sense enough to rob
even the rich when they spread their
money before your very eyes.' It seemed
that the train slacked long enough for
the scoundrel thus to tantalize me, and
then it thundrered on, the two scoun
drels tipping their glasses again. I
got out of bed, tiptoed to the head of
the stairway and listened. I heard the
ticking of the clock. I stepped back
and dressed myself. Then I trod softly
downstairs. In the room a light was
burning dimly. The old man and his
wife were sound asleep. His trousers
were under his pillow. Slowly I pulled
them away, and without noise I got
out. Then I ran for a mile at least,
and then I stopped and thrust my hand
Into the pocket and there was the wal
let. The moment I touched It I would
have given half my life never to have
seen it. But repentance was now too
late. I could have taken the money
back in fact. I was almost decided
upon this rtsk, when my blood shot
through me at the barking of a dog
and dropping the trousers, but grip.
ping the money, I leaped over a fence
and ran fiercely Into the woods. Well,
I went to a town, tricked myself out in
new clothes had my beard shaved off
and was ready to take a railway train
and tip glasses with some other scoun
drel when I was arrested. I said I was
suspected of the crime, and that Is the
case, for that. blessed Old farmer was
not certain that I was the man. And
here I have told you all about It. But
I trust you I don't know why, but I
do." . -
The candlewlck fell and, the cell was
black. Haines said not a word. I heard
him scramble to his feet, and then with
a sigh he lay down heavily upon his
bunk. And so long a silence followed
that I thought him asleep, when he be
gan to mutter something and I heard
him repeat my own words: "A trouble
aired is lighter for the airing."
"I hope you don't think any less of
me?" I remarked.
"No, I am sorry for you sorry that
your better self yielded. But don't you
think they will convict you?"
"Yes. I'm afraid so."
"And .If they do, are you going to
make a confession?"
"No. I have confessed to you, and
that was cooling . to my conscience.
There Is bravado In confessing to the
worm, dui confessing to a friend Is a
simple virtue."
I listened with my head off the pll-
tlrttig. but I
did not understand him.
"I'M GOINCI TO TELL YOU SOME
THING." "There Is one thing I am glad of,"
aid I.
"What Is that?" '
"The fact that I have no' near rela
tives to be disgraced."
"That's fortunate.", he renlled.
I waited for htm to say more, but he
was silent, tnougn l Knew that he was
not asleep, for I heard him turn over
time and again. 1 was now almost out
of patience. I had made my confession.
Why didn't he make his? I felt that I
had won his confidence; I knew that he
admired my tastes, because they agreed
with his own. I had given to him the
most prononeed of all flattery I Im
itated nis accent ana nis mannerisms
I was growing weary of my contract
Confinement was telling on my nerves.
Inwardly I, cursed the superintendent
and all his senseless whims. I con
demned the undertaking as a most fool
Ish 'experiment, without the possibility
oi a compensating result. But the su
perlntendent'a promise came back to
me. My atiairs had been running be
hind hand. I was In need of money,
Yes, I would stick It out. Haines be
gan to mutter. ' . ' ,
"Talking to me?V I asked. .
"No, wasn't saying anythlngA By
the way and you will please pardon
me for such a question but If they
should send you to the penitentiary,
how long do you suppose it would be
for?"
'Not so loud." I cautioned.
'There are no other prisoners on this
floor. How long do you suppose it
would be for?"
Ten years at least"
'That long? Terrible to think of,
But I suppose robbery Is different from
theft or embezzlement. After all. u a
man goes to the penitentiary It doesn't
make much difference for how long.
The mere sentence is enough to break
his heart."
"Yes. but time may heal a broken
heart"
"Not time done in a penitentiary."
Was he laughing at me? I listened.
and I thought I heard him titter, but It
might have been the ripple, of a sup
pressed sob.
'I wonder what time it is? said ne.
turning over wearily.
"Must be nearly day. You seem more
than usually distressed."
I am. My heart has been crowing
heavier since you told me your story."
"Don't think of me, my dear boy, but
of yourself."
"I am thinking of myself, and that s
what makes my heart so heavy." For
a few moments he was silent, and then
he continued:
"And you say there is a sort of brav
ado in confessing to the world?"
"Yes; and the church, early in the be
ginning, recognized in man the yearn
ing, the necessity to confess his errors
to an individual. In my case religion
plays no part. I told you of my de
pravity and my heart has become light
er. Suppose we go to sleep."
"I can't. Dick, I nm too wretched.
And now I am going to tell you some
thingbut it's daylight, and our fat
friend Is coming."
PART III.
During all that day we talked In
closest sympathy, but I was afraid to
remind him of his resolve to confess.
Nor did he refer to It; Indeed, at noon
time, when sunlight fell Into the cell,
he flipped a Joke at our condition, but
I knew that this waa broad-day banter
and that the ghost would return at
night.
That afternoon his sister came from
Louisville. On a chair, brought for her
by the jailer's wife, she sat Inside the
cell, and, looking at her, I could have
fancied that she was a part of the
noon hour. She wept at first, but she
grew cheerful when I assured her that
her brother would prove his Innocence.
"Oh, 1 know that." she said; "but
think of what a shame it Is to keep him
shut up here so long. And you haven't
done anything, either, have you? 1
don't see what makes people so mean."
She remained with ua until evening
and the light was surely gone when
she went away: and the hours were
slow and long before the candle was
put above the door. But the old fel
low came with It after a stretched-out
season. "Boys." he said, tilling the
window with his face, "I've a little
piece of news for you. The grand Jury
met today and court will be In ses
sion before the week's out, and, con
sequently, you'll have a hearln' pretty
soon. But don't git skeered, for the
foreman of the Jury Is a hoss doctor,
and the judge owns a livery stable.
This might not seem to make any dif
ference, but It do, for I want to tell
you that a feller that knows how to
handle a hoss knows how to handle
a man.
"Well, I must leave you now," he
continued, "Pardon me for not spend-

me on a rush these days." . I
He was gone at last. Haines was pac-;
ing the floor, j Would he. wait forithej
death of the candle? I said nothing,
but sat on my bunk waiting. I
"The candle burns longer than usual;
tonight," he said. He was -waiting, for!
the darkness. ; ' . . . -
"Yes; for It seems to know that, we:
are sleepy, and It wants to tantalize us.",
Tm not sleepy," he replied; -quickly.
He sat down. I said nothing. "I'm
not sleepy I can't sleep until I have
told you something. I'm going to
throw off all reserve and talk to you
as L would to myself. My father Is

covery, even after the disease has pro-
pressed so far as to induce repeated bleed

with copious expectoration (including tu
bercular matter), great loss of flesh and ex
treme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried iu nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo
phosphites had also been faithfully tried
in vain. ' -

brother had money, say ten; thousand
dollars, and It had been given out that
the larger part of this money waa to
fall to my father. But the brother
continued to linger, though his hour
was surely near. Just after hearing,
one day, that his brother could not sur
vive another night my father saw a
grand opportunity to invest Ave thou
sand dollars. The return would be
quick. He would use the .bank's
money, and even should the Investment
fall, he could soon replace the amount
from his brother's estate. The Invest
ment waa made and lost and the
brother grew better. In despair father
came to see me. I thought of mother
and sister when I told him that I would
risk everything to save him. In the
express office, during the tobacco sea
son, there was ' constantly a large
amount of money In the company's safe.
I would take Ave thousand dollars and
wait for the brother to die. Well, I
took that amount, and father was
saved. But the brother continued to
Improve. And It waa drawing near
the time when I might expect a call
from the company's Inspector. I had
no means of raising the money I was
not inventive, so I was forced to resort
to an old trick. I blew open the safe
and knocked myself senseless with an
Iron bar. There was money scattered
all about the room when the town ottl-

cer and night watchman rushed In,
and the supposition was that the rob
bers . were too much frightened to
gather it up; and when an investigation
was made It was discovered that but
Ave thousand dollars were missing.
And the day after I was arrested, the
brother died. Other came heart
broken to see me the day you were put
In here, and hia plan was to, buy off the
express company,-nut 1 urgea mm not
to attempt It, knowlnfthat they would
rather send a man to the penitentiary
than to compromise for twice that
amount of money. But we were agreed
on one point, that no matter what wax
done with me the money should be
mysteriously returned. Father and
yourself are the only ones that know
the truth. Mother and sister will al
ways believe me Innocent. I have one
strong hope," he went on after a Bhort
pause, "I don't think that the doctor
who examined me Is over scrupulous,
and, If worked skilfully, I think that
we might buy him. You see I am de
termined to take every advantage that
a thief's shrewdness can suggest I
may deserve to go to the penitentiary.
but I am not enough of a Christian to
suffer willingly. There, the candle's
gone."
I lay down to think. I had won my
fight and my reward was sure.
"What do you think of it all?" he
asked when I had thought that he must
be asleep.
"A sad case," I. answered, pitying his
frailty. The son had Inherited the
weakness of the father.' '
. "And do you think that If we buy the
doctor they can convict me? The fact
is, I did hit myself a terrific blow."
"They will If they can," I answered.
"I know that. Good night," he add
ed, "I think I can sleep now."
Long before day I was up and dressed,
with a few words scrlbbbled to the su
perintendent, asking to be released at
once; and when the fat jailer came, I
gave him the note.
During the day we talked of books,
though with a lessened interest on my
part.
"You don't appear to Be well," he
said. . .
"Brooding has worn my spirit away,"
I answered.
"But you shouldn't lose hope. Some
thing tells me that before long we shall
be together, free and happy, ready to
serve man because we have violated his
Jaws. .We will go out west where gen
erosity gilds a fault, and live a buoyant
life. And now, even if we are con
demned, let us promise to join each
other after our time is served. Will you
promise that?"
."Yes."
"' "Give me your hand."
...We shook hands, and he walked up
and down the cell, with a smile parting
his Hps.
"I think more of you than any fellow
I ever met. Dick. In fact, you are the
only real companion I have ever known.
You stimulate my mind make me feel
that I can do good in the world. I hope
they won't separate us hope that If
they send us to prison they will send us
together. It Is awful to be companion
less. Dick, you don't look well. You
mustn't get ill, but If you do I'll nurse
you they mustn't take you out of
here."
The fat Jailer appeared. "I have a
piece of news," he said. "The doctor
has been called out of town for a few
days, and the grand jury will skip your
case. Haines, until ho comes back. So-
you'll have a few days more of rest,
Saw the foreman of the grand jury,
Haines, and I told him to treat you like
a blooded hoss, and If he can make up
his mind to do that you are all right.
But 1 haven't got such good news for
you." he added, speaking to me; and
Haines wheeled about and looked at
him.
"What about me?" I asked.
"Well, they are goln' to take you over
Into Gasper county."
"No!" Haines cried, grasping my
arm.
"That's the orders." said the Jailer.
"I told them that they'd better let him
stay a little longer now that he'd got
so well acquainted and so well liked,
but they 'lowed, they did, that they be
lieved not said that possibly he mout
come agin after the crops was laid by."
"Don't tantalize him," I cried,
alarmed at the poor fellow's distress.
"Bless you, I don't want to worry
him. Never want to pester a body.
Well, come on."
Haines gave him his hand; his llns
were trembling. He suid not a word,
but as I passed out he gave me a quick
look, and then turned his back .to the
door. As we were going through the
corridor the Jailer strove to pump me,
but I shut him up and went my way.
Ah, the glory of the sunshine and the
thrill of the sweet air. I stood near
a garden where flowers nodded, feeling
that I had been snatched from a loath
some dream. And I. thought of that
poor fellow who must, pay for his
father's greed. How harder than a
rock is human justice: but he must
be just or a, man's law becomes a laugh
able failure. I turned away, toward the
railway station, and 'the sight of the
express oflice smote me with sadness.
"Poor loyal and generous fool." I said.
The train came. .And the wheels
kept repeating something they al
ways do. And what was It? "Remem
ber your promise-, remember 1 your
promise." Yes. I would remember It. ' '
I had accomplished my mission and
now for the reward.
The superintendent was In the office
waiting for me that evening. A check
book lav In front of him.
"Ah, captain, I am glad to see you.
And what do you say?"
And, Instantly I replied: "The man
Is Innocent. Turn him out''
" Ht rave me a blank look and shoved
the check book from him.
"Innocent!"
. ."Aa a lamb. Turn him out"
I stalked away, poor, but with a
smile In my heart. 1 waa a liar, but I
waa a man.
The money waa mysteriously re
turned. Haines found the success ly
ing down the road, waiting, and he
found it before it had gathered rust
He is an evangelist telling hia story

Mrs. Lottie Cox. of lllne Springs. Hob..
Woas Priis of SI SO.
Tho remarkable progress now being
made by the new woman Is graphically
illustrated in the recent success of Mrs.
Lottie Cox, of Blue Springs, Neb., who
has just been awarded a raize of $150
for the beet and simplest Invention sub
mitted to the patent firm of John Wed
derburn & Co., of Washington, D. C.
Mrs. Cox is the first woman who has
been successful in these monthly com
petitions, which have now been In prog
ress for the past year. The successful
lady Is 40 years of age and styles herself
a "self-made woman." She was lelt a
widow at SO, with two small children and
thrown entirely on her own resources.
While engaged in daily labt to support
herself and children, she experimented
with various Ideas and Anally evolved a
work table.supplied with numerous con
veniences much appreciated by women.
Although somewhat stinted as to
means, she bravely undertook to patent
her invention, and having submitted it
to Messrs. Wedderburn & Co., In con
nection with their patent awards, re
ceived the prise of $150 In the February
contest.
Mrs. Cox declares she Is much encour
aged at her success and hopes to follow
It with the completion of other Inven
tions now under way. This would seem
to bo a most edifying example for the
emulation of her sisters who are now
absorbed In the endeavor to Imitate men
in far lens profitable enterprises.
