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. He allowed me mv nieht's
; rest, and the next niorning he whijiered
j in my ear :
"Ion't you want to escape?"'
1 felt th hl.io.1 rush to my tare, ami
I cuuM mit say a wonl.

-Yes'
"Wlut then will be easier than to j the living ocean beneath, I heard the
kinick off the fetters w th a pick ax. and I dull thud as my enemy stru k the wve-cscai-
when the owrseer is not looking ment. I had hardly recovered my breath

"immyiiie:
" Your hand.''
" 1 hal neer Kfore tucliel hi b!'l-
stameil unl 'luevin uan t and 1 shudder-
ed as I c!as(.d it. The next morning we
had to unde ip the inspection liefore go-
iiisflo work. An hour U-I'ore noon the
tirst salute tnuu the har!o reache.l our
ears. The dull rej'rt went tlmjuirh me
me like an electric spark ! liaspsiM his
jiercd tome :
" When the tirt shot Ls tired from the
barr.iiks, strike vith your pick-ax on
the ring . f my ciuiiu. dose to the
ankle."
A sudden mis'ving came over "me.
"And if I shoiiel do it, how can I In
sure t at voii will then fr-e me? N
.aspan.. you must strike the first
blow.
" As you pi -ase," he an-wered. smiling, j ,,,. 1f j,, , to lH.a.t,,nsist-
but w uh a muttered curst-. ; ing of lHlJtifuI ,ia.int stl(Qe the w,.u.
At that moment a flash "ame from the ( !iarit- f ,hl,.h was its cliunain, .-olors,
arracks, and then a ri j-rtthat rever- ! K of Ciir,i. ...iua cup. and an uri

several strokes to free his chains. Al the

in the nad, we stl liefore a little

The audience became thoroughly de

and to evade the fatal crush at the doors

Charles Harris held Rosamond in ht-r

while he looked alaitit for some means of
escape.
Even as he paused in grave perplexity
a calm voice on his right addressed him :
"Wrap this heavy shawl attut the
young lath's head and shoulders and
follow me. Hasten! we have no time to
lose."
He saw only a pale, sweet face, dark.' .;
earnest eyes, and seizing the sliawl '
wound it around Rosamond as directed,
then taking her in his strong anus fol

to almost every one, but thought of at
