far angle in (he wall exactly (en minj

wire thrown over for you. It will not
do to have it there before and you are
to pull it after you when you are on
the other tide. One other thing: You
must manage in some way to set the
bar buck in its place. No one will look
Into your cell till five o'clock from the
wicket in the door, but the absence oi
the bar might be detected by the patrol

"\es," said Import. "If I have any
foothold on the wire and you can bring
me half an ounce of guin shellac soft*
ened In alcohol."
"Very good. You will have eight
minutes to get over the wall and you
will land in a high clump of jimson
weeds. I want you to remember the
rest of my directions. It Is necessary
that you commit them to memory. At
the time you land in the weeds, there
will be a man on a horse in the road
and he will start east at break-neck
speed. You are to give no heed to him,
but cross the road, drop over the bunk
—it is shale and cinders and will leave
no footprints—and turn to the left and
follow It west for one hundred feet
where you will come to a culvert and
brook crossing. You are to take to the
middle of this stream and follow the
bed Ave hundred feet, rolling your
trousers up so as to keep them dry, un-
til you comc to an outhouse painted
red, which overhangs it Light a
match and if there are two crosses in
chalk on the lowest clapboard, you
will know that is the place to turn.
Then follow the path from the
outhouse up to the dwelling, but be
careful to walk on the gravel and not
in the grass. There is a back kitchen
with a side door and a common latch.
It will be open. There will be a hot
fire burning in the large kitchen stove.
You are to lock the door and divest
yourself of every bit of clothing and
burn it there before doing anything
else «• ' see that all the shreds are de-
stroyed. When that is done, go to the
second story, front room, where you
will tind the disguise you are to wear.
In the breast pocket of the blouse are
three photographs of the man who has
been wearing it. You are to be care-
ful about the wig and mustache. You
ought to be in the upper room not later
than four. The alarm will be given
about live-thirty. That will give you
an hour and a half to complete the dis-
guise and the sun will be up. At that
moment you will take a paint pot and
brush which are in the room and get
upon the ladder in front of the house
and proceed to paint the siding at the
place where the job Is left unfinished.
You are to speak very little English.
You will be fifteen feet above the
street You are to answer all ques-
tions in a guttural and unintelligible
manner. The main entrance of the
prison is nearly opposite that house.
The men in the prison office are already
familiar with your figure on the laddei
and regard you as a stupid Alsatian
who has hired the place and is fitting
it up as a saloon. At five-thirty I ex-
pect a wire will be sent from the near-
est hamlet (fifteen miles east) that an
escaped prisoner has passed through
on a horse. You will be able from
your perch if you are quick-witted, to
discern by the movements at the prison
entrance if the chase is taken up in

five but he was made of tough vita
material and the pn>*pect of liberty
stirred all his old sagacity. Kent saw
him for the Inst time in prison on Fri
day morning; gave him his additioua1
instructions aud tools and left oaten
sibly for New York nt noon, much u
the regrei oi the txtels.
Kent's provision had been unerring
with regard to Lnport, but he made

one of the best detectives in the coun-
try got upon his track and followed
him to Louisville, Ky., when the trail
was a week old. . From this point he
traced him into western Tennessee
and there the pursuit ended. Kent
had disappeared from the surface of
the earth. What is remarkable about
this part of the hunt is that nothing
occurred publicly to awaken the sus-
picion that Bench and Kent were the
same person.
Laport's escape from the prison was
effected with but slight variations as
it had beeu planned for l>im, an l there
was nothing in his methodical execu-
tion of the plun but a grim and un-
eventful determination accompanied
by a silent apprehension, until he ar-
rived as arranged at the old mill, and
there the whole character of the pro-
ceedings chunged as if by magic and
began to wear the aspect of a sixteenth
century romance.
While yet some fifty feet away from
the mill and hidden in the brush, he
listened and distinctly heard female

cotton from American seed has proved

instead.

Working his way through the thick-

where the mill st«xxl and went delib-

Their horses were tied to the neigh-
boring trees; a white cloth was spread
upon the grass; a colored servant was
opening wine. They were elegantly
dressed and were unmistakably people
of means and leisure taking an outing.
At the same moment Laport saw pro-
truding from the grass almost at his
f jet the circular form of an old mill-
stone and, with a feeling of helpless-
ness, he sat down upon it.
A minute had not passed when he
was aware that some one was ap-
pro. -hing him. It was a woman. She
had left the group immediately nnd
was standing very near him. Ho
looked at her with the greatest amount
of interest and suspense. She was
handsomely and jauntily dressed in a
riding habit and appeared to be at
least thirty years of age. Her wholo
bearing was easy, but dignified. Her
handsome oval face was expressive of
determination, softened by sensibility.
She carried a riding whip.
