At I lint time the Jiiil wan crowded, and Sheriff Rynu wan compelled to place both convictcii tncu iu the nine cell. The nhnriff lived iu the county build ing, n ml on l be night following the con viction of Fontor ho went to bed oou 'iltir roppei. tntenriing to get up early tlin next morutng and take tbe two pri'i nert to tbe penitentiary. About tnidulKlit he awoke with a Rtnrt. He whh trenihlitig violently and mi con vinced that tmnhle wan brewing in th jail. "There's Motnethlng wrong Id the jail," be mid to hln wife, "and I'll bet Foster I nbotit ready to tirenk out. I'm going dowti einira to look nronud. ' DreKNiug himself, be pot a revolver Into bin pricket and noinelnMly went down to tlio chief jiiiler'a room ou tbe fi rst floor Abt Abrnms, his deputy. wiih f?narding the Jail door. "What'i the matter?" nuked Abrama. "Wbnt'a wrong lit the jail?" returned the sheriff. "Nothing," replied Abrnmi. . "Haven't you Lrard tbe noire of aavvH?" anked Ryan. "Nope, and they ain't been working, or I'd heard 'em, an I've been laying mighty qniet. " Rynn was snrpicioua and listened at tentively at tbe jail door. There was no uoite except an occasional snore of one of the prisoners. "Abe, "said Ryan, "I'm certain Fos ter and bis pal are up to mischief. I've been feeling it in my bones all night, and I'm going to sneak in two tiers un der their cell and listen. " Ha opeued tbe jail door noiselessly and crept tbrongb tbe Jail nntil be was tinder Foster's celk He bad not made the slightest noise. Of that be was certain-He brtathed regularly and witb as little noise .as possible, and be could ot detect a sound which indicated that an effort was being made - to saw tbe cell bars. Nevertheless, be could not get nq ox dib HUEjiiciuD uua . remaiuea there perfectly quiet nntil 5 o'clock. Tben be went to treakiast, called a deputy and, placing tbe handcuffs and leg irons on Foster and bis confederate, ptepnred to take tbeui to Columbus on an early train. "As soon as we leave," said the sheriff to. Abrams, "yon search tbe cell and telegrapb tne the result at Colum bus." When Columbus was reached abont noon, tbia memge was banded to Ryan: Found two to.cn On flla saws la eclL 1 Assam. Ryan banded the telegram to tb .prisoners, and when tbey read it tbey langbod. "Yon see, boys, that yon may be pretty foxy, hut you couldn't beat the old man," taid the sheriff. "That's right." said Foster; "but wbnt made yon come into the jail last nlpbt and stay ao long? Who put yon on?" "Nobody," answered Ryan. "I just guewed it. lint how did yon know I was there? Did you bear me?" "Not a sound. Yon made a qniet sneak for ucl a big man, " said Fos ter a pal. "Then bow did yon know I wan tboro?" persisted the sheriff. "Now. see here, Mr. Ryan," replied Fouler. "We're in for a long term, and if yon will put a good word in for us we'll tell yon our secret." "Agreed!" said Ryan. "Well, where we got the saws is neither bero nor there and none of your Miniums," said Foster, "but we knew yon were watching us and knew that if we wanted to give you tbe slip we would have to exercise more than or dinary or human vigilance. Now, tbe jnil is full of rats, and jail rats, having been killed so often by way of amuse mint for the prisoners, are timid. Rats like meat. We suved some of our meat at rapper every night and scattered it in front of tbe cell. The rats soon real ized that we meant tbcm no harm, and after a number of experiments tbey would allow one of na to feed them while the other worked. Rata have a keener sense of bearing tbuu men, and If an outsider should appear tbey would run. Well, when you sneaked into tbs Jail Inst night we didn't bear you, but tbe rats did. They scampered and wo qnit. When yon left, tbe rats returned, but it was too lata then, and tbe game Was up." The records of county commissioners ihow that on the following day a requi sition was received from the sheriff 'a office calling for two dozen rat traps and a case of rat poison. Pigeonholed In tbe prosecuting attorney's office is an indictment entitled "State of Ohio ver sus Rodent, for aiding and abetting tbe attempted escape of certain prisoners of the state from the oonnty jail of Cuya hoga county, state of Ohio." This charge never came to trial, and tbe de fendants suffered capital punishment Whenever captured without even hav ing a bearing. Cleveland Letter. ApplauM. .
