Money has a great movâ€" ing influence, even in a quarry and on a farm; and when it is used as a lever with a warer whose pay is under thirty shillings a week, it helps the pi-OpOSed escape along.- Not that escapes are frequentâ€"at- tempts at it are; the prison infirm- 'ary records show that. The ward- ers have guns, and know how to use them. Their instructions are to 8.1111 low. So it happens that the prison doctor should be an expert in the treatment of broken legsâ€"he has experience enough. Dartmoor is not a paradise upon earth. Its rules and restrictions are so corrosive on a man’s soul, that the Wonder is that more at- tempts to escape from it are not made. True, death has a hundred to one chance against a. successful isâ€" sue; but to the average convict, be- tween existence at Dartmoor and the grip of the King of Terrors there is little to choose. Successful escape is a thing dreamt of, unccsscssful attempts are actual- itics. But. Adolphe meant success to attend the scheme he had in mind for his brother’s liberation. The fog and mist which so fre- quently roll over Dartmoor are the helping bands which Nature lends to any plan of escapeâ€"and it is a treacherous help too. Fog comes up and the signal is given to fall in, and the convict risks the war- ders’ guns, and falls out instead. Docs so, tempted by the mist which he thinks may shield him till he gets away~away to throw on the mercy of some inhabitant. Alas ! they prove broken reeds. The mist rools away, and the sun. shines and he is revealed to outside man. But mercy is unknown. Every man's hand is against the convict, for there is a reward for the recov- ery of any escaped prisoner, and that reward is over in the mind of the Dartmoorâ€"the earning of it is more profitable than the more in- dulging in a feeling of pity. Pity himself . enables a man to surmount diflicul~~ ties and move mountains. Its ac- tual moving power is as great as faith is said to be. He had a Car- avan built after the old type, and joined that section of the Lee tribe travelling west. He was able to pay his footing, and consequently was a welcome addition. He was not well when he joined them, and kept in his bunk a deal. He was willing to pay for help and assistance, and therefore he. never stood in need of it. A liberal payâ€" niaster rarely lacks kindly attention. As a. friendâ€"maker, money stands without a rival. And in his selec- tion of haiidmaiden his choice fell on Miriam Lee, because he was a reader of character. occupying a low down place in the opinion of the tribe, and that her sulky resentment of it was widening the breach. He stepped into it. He spoke kindly to her, and the kindness melted her at once. It fell on receptive soil, that same kindness fruit grew from it.

This was no novelty to Adolphe; both he and his brother ihad ever been successful with women- ‘kiizd.

The prison and its surroundings have been so often pictured in books that no description of them need appear in these pages. The gipsy camp was pitched with- in half a dozen miles of the prison, and Adolphe began his work. At first. his lieutenant did all, and did it well. It was she who, in going from door to door with her basket of fancy goods, found out the war- ,ders with the largest families, and those the most poorly off. Adolphe wanted their names and conditions; the poorer a man is the sweeter is 3the music of jingliiig money in his ears, the more likely he is to accept a bribe. And soon, by dint of per- severance, the names were sifted, until the wai‘der in charge of the gang in which Alfred worked was found. And then Adolphe stepped upon the scene. How was it arâ€" ranged ? How did the wander come to assist? Well, Adolphe had a Wellâ€"lined purse, the warder was but humanâ€"he had his price. Besides, in this case, there was not much wanted of him; his risk was small. Just to take letters; in prison lin- g0, “passing avstiff”â€"tliat was all. And the letters, being written in French, the officer never for a momâ€" ent suspected that a plot to escape was being hatched under his very ,nose. The letters were brief, but the instructions in them explicit. The convict swallowed the contents, and then swallowed the letters themâ€" selves; chewed over the instructions, and then chewed the. paperâ€"it was the safest method of destruction. The basis of the plan was fog or 1mist. There was :tliat, it was the basis of illlf‘ convicts‘ plans for escape. But fog has its drawbacks: a man is apt. to get lost in it on strange land, ,and go round 1back to the plaCe he started from,â€" when, in the case of an escaping conâ€" most vict, his last condition becomes worse than his first. Besides, in foggy weather, the inhabitants of Dartmoor are alert; they have the reward ever before them. The esâ€" caping convict might fall into their hands. When you live near a pris~ on, you never know your luck. And the guard against this? A compass. The moorland around the prison is reclaimed at the rate about tWenty-l‘ive acres per annum. Adolphe knew the identical portion on which his brother was working; and, by means of a letter. the pris- oner knew exactly where, buried an inch under the peat land outside the boundary within which they \vere ,working, the compass was concealed. for telling my friends about the wonderun COUl‘l 5‘“? “"0 I’m“? “Carly 0"01'5‘ lday; an arragement of stones led to lit. When the fog came he was to {(lttl‘t to that place. lift the compass, and follow the direction he had been given till he met a gipsyâ€"wonian ,with a basket of fancy goods, If he reached her, the rest was yeasy, She would be at the corner of the cross-road, with a change of ‘clothing in the basket under the top layer of her fancy goods. So thought- ful was Adolphe of his brother, that ‘he did not risk placing the goods in ‘(lie cache for the fear of dampnessâ€" -the mist might not be thick enough ifor escape for days ‘ And the cache ?â€"\\'as within a few feet of the open highway, absolutely bare of any sign beyond the ordinary ivvvl of the moor. And the very safety of the scheme arose from this openness. I’ursuers might go over it even without noticing it, i I~or a. week or two an artist had nothing new in; of ‘ and round, perhaps Ul~ 1 made up the furniture. Every day thereafter, from time the convicts issued from their tomb in the morning till their re- tirement within the walls at night. Miriam sat by the cache making reed baskets. She waited day after day for the fog. Fogs came, but not thick enough. And she waited, too, for the signal which would ring over the moorâ€"tho warning from the prison that another prisoner was seeking liberty. And it came at last. Surely, she was thinking, the fog was heavy enough, and as she thought the sig- nal rang out. The compass would guide him straight, He would be nearly fifteen minutes running disâ€" ‘tanCC between the boundaiy and herâ€" self. The moment the signal reach- ed her ears, she started singing. She had a deep, powerful voice, and "Way down upon the Swamiee Riv- the 11 cr, despite the fog, rang over the moor. She had thrown the bundle of {clothes down the hole, and knelt beside it With her hand on the conâ€" .cealed handle of the lid. And pre- Sently the sound of her voice and the melodyâ€"a signalâ€" reached the ears of a panting, eyesâ€"startingâ€"fromâ€" the direction of it. It gave him fresh life, fresh strength; and he needed it, for lie was nearly spent. He came in sight. Not a word was spoken. The lid was lifted, he dropped down the hole; the lid was 1replacedâ€"all within a 111i1iuteâ€"and the gipsy girl was sitting on it, weavinglher rushes and still sing- iiig. And just in time, for two breath- less, uniformed men, with guns their hands, came 11p. 1 "Seen a man running this way ?" ’ “Yes; just a minute ago. Was in la hurry, I think, he was panting so.
