FETTERED TO A DESPERADO I am French by birth, and my name is Fram-ois Thierry. I will not burden vou with my eariy history, but will begin by stating that I was sent to the jraileys and rind iny.--If to-day an exile. P.r.uid ing was not out of .late at that time, and until I (lie. I shall lear some tiery letters ou my shoulder. I was arrested, registered, condemned and st nt to Paris. As I left the court of justice my terrible sentemv rang in my ears. On the Mild from Paris to Bieetr, a day and a night the dull rolling of the prison wagon uu the pavement re peated ii to me. 1 think I must have been stunned l,y the severity of my doom for I have not the slightest recollection of the particulars of that journey. '" Hard la! xir for life!" 1 heard nothing else. I could think of nothing e!.-. Late in the afternoon of the thin! May the wagon Ire up at Uit iwiMMw ilooraud i enters 1. My name was tlien written m a iaroe taaik. lndsl with inn. as though it w as fettered. " Numlx-r JOT. gn-en," said an officer. Then I put on the uniform of the gal-Iv-lave. I was no longer Francois Thierry, but No. 1H7. The officer was prent while I was entr-iged in dress ing. " Hiirry up ; it's getting late." he said, "and you must be marriel before din ner." " Married '." I n H-ated. He laugheil as he lit a cigar. I was led into a big court when- wild looking men with clanking chains were walk ing up and dow n Is-fort? the muzzles of cannon. " IJrins No. 2iand call the priest." cried the officer. Numln-r 2 i came in. drang a heavy chain behind him, and w ith him a robust blacksmith. The rin of an iron chain was put round my ankle and forced together with a single stmke of a hammer. A like ring liound Biy omiiinion. Kach stroke re echoed through the arches like the laugh of demons. The officer now drew a small red book from his ket. and said : " Numis-riO', listen to our prison laws. If yon attempt flight am! fail, you will be t-astinadocd. If you suo-ecd in get ting to the harlior and are there captured you will Vie doubly chained for three years. As -an as you are missed three cannon shots w ill !e fired and signals of alann will lie hoisted on each latstion. Telegrams will lie sent to the harlior ;ri:'rds. and to the police throughout Praia e."" And after the offii-er bad read this he relit hisciirarand went out. I was now a prisoner, forced to anoth er prisoner. As 1 glanced at him I found his eyes turned toward me. He was a sinistcr-lookiiij: fellow, ulmut 40 years old. not any taller than I. but of Her culean build. You are in for life," he said. Il.i do you know that T I exclaim ed, angrily. " I van tell by your cap. lireen is for life. Why are you here T " I o inspired airainst the gtvern nient." He shiwged bis shoulders contempt uously. Then you're an elegant one. We oth er prison, rs hate such arist a-ratic com pany I mai'.e no answer. This is the fourth time that I've !-en here," my companion continued. " Per haps vou have heard of irasparo, the counterfeiter T I had heard of the daring criminal, and drew, back trembling, from his gaze. An uneasy l..k in his eyes lob! m.be had noticed this shrinking. From that mo ment he hated me. .rasfiaro and I, w ith two hundred oth er irisoners. w ent to work in a stone quar rav. on the other side of the harbor. Thiy after day from sunrise to sunset, the rocks resounded with our blows. The spring ami summer pass-d, and autumn came. My fellow-prisoner was a Pied tuontese. He had been a eounterfeiter, thief, iwendiary, and w hen he last fled from prison he committed a murder. Heaven alone knows how my sufferings were intensified by this terrible compan ionship. How 1 shrank from the Umch of his hand ! What loathing took pos neiMon of me at night hen I felt hi breath on my clteek ! I trisi to overcome thia loathing, but in vain. He knew it as well as L and took every opportunity to revenge himself. However, it wonld have been of no avail to put myself in opposition to him. and any complaint to the overseer would only have provoked omer SOMERSET, PA., U.e I there cau.e a day when hL bate seemed ; to diruinUh.
