Iilancett was trimniitiK atone with a
big ax. No one whs in sight,  o lie
thought, although the guard wan oil
the wall above liiin. Ho laid his left
hand Hat on a stone, raised the ux
with his right and looked around euro
fully to see if any 0:10 was in night.
< IhMTving no one lie struck one might v
blow and cut his hand entirely in
twain just behind the fingers, lie
yelled and tried to pass it oil'as an ac-
cident, hut the guard was "onto" the
scheme. Hlancett's plan was to get
pardoned out. lie was put to turning
a grindstone, however, and served out
his term. The liist night oiitsiile was
spent at Kline's house. Mutely Ulan-
eel I is a smooth fool.

country and people here. Ho is 11 Hint
class, intelligent, temperate gentleman.
