Whirling Storm Brought Free
ciom to a Convict.
Uulpu Klrby. convict, having a good
.ciinl. v:ij ordered to work with a
i.irty i; itxiile the prison luelosure Of
omse prixju oiUciuls stood over the
workmen with loaded rifles.' ( .
i;nt something i'iini.3 up In compari
son with which the rllles of the guards
were lint n popguns. Klrtiy looked
up from hi work tiiul suw a black
cloud coming thut looked more terrible
than the Judge who years before had
pussed semence upon him. It was bal
loon Minified, the neck trailing on tbe
ground, lie gluueed ut tbe guards and
saw that they were standing with
their bucks to the prison wall, with the
cloud alno behind them. ''.. 1
It paused , Let ween him and bis
guards.' Being forewarned, be threw
himself Hut on the ground and held on
to it stout bush. When it had passed
t!:e guards were nowhere to be seen.
There wus method lu whut he- did
when be started to run in tbe wnke
of the storm. It was the only direction
be could go to Hud possible safety. He
run a mile over u ruined strip of coun
try, when be came to a small village
that had been wrecked. . Before n
house that had been turned around
nnd blown over on Its side a man was
lying on his buck dead. Klrby no
ticed that the head had been disfigur
ed beyond recognition. He was plan
ning ahead, and his plans were ninde
with lightning rapidity. He took tbe
dead man's clothing for himself and
put his stripes on the dead man. Then,
taking up the body, he carried It to a
distance from the wrecked village and
threw it In a ditch.
The storm bad no sooner passed tban
parties were sent out to scour tbe
country for those convicts who hod
escaped. But they were not tbe only
persons moving about. Without the
narrow belt traversed by the storm no
one bad been Injured, and rescue par
ties were coming from all directions.
Klrby, whose loug confinement bad
brought III health, bad by this time
nsed up all bis strength. In tbe out
skirts of tbe village n bouse had been
reduced to a heap of kindling wood.
Klrby decided, to crawl in under tbe
wreck. He bad wormed himself In as
far as possible when a 'rescue party
came along and. seeing bis boots, un
covered blm. Feigning death, he lay
on bis back, but one of tbe party put
bis ear to the convict's heart and beard
It throbbing. Liquor was poured down
his throat, and be knew that bis sham
could not be kept up. Through portly
closed lids he sow that no prison offi
cial was present, and be opened his
eyes. He begged tbo party to leave
blm and go on to others who needed
their attention. Tbey were persuaded
and did as be suggested.
Then came another party, nnd the
convict, mistaking tbem for searchers
from the prison, agnln feigned death.
By this time it was dark, nnd his effort
whs more successful almost too suc
cessful. They begun" to dig beside
him, nnd when they hud mnde n shal
low grnve bey put him In nnd covered
blm with earth. Ho wus about to cry
out when It occurred to him that they
were not burying him deep and the
earth above him would be loose. No
sooner had the shovelfuls of clods
ceased to pound him tbun he bet.Mii to
push them nway for air.
Meanwhile all who could be spared
from the prison were scouring the
country far and wide. Judging thut
those who had escaped would attempt
to bide in the trnck of the storm, they
followed It. and one ef iliein, -lira
Vlackln, came upon tbo body wearing
Ktrby's stripes, lie IdcntiUed It as
Klrby by the clothes nnd concluded
that there was one less prisoner to bu
recaptured.' Being well armed, hn
pushed on alone. As the burying party
wero completing their work of cover
lug Klrby, Mnckln was approaching
the grnve. and they disappeared In
the darkness just before he came up
Seeing something moving directly be
fore him, Mackln threw n light from
his lantern upon tho spot Just In time
to strike the corpselike face of Convict
Klrby rising from the grave.
Prison olllolnls are not likely to be
easily rattled, but Mnckln had a few
minutes before seen the body of the
convict, nnd the sight of the dead
man's features confronting him in this
fashion was too much for his nerves.
Throwing down his gnu nnd lantern,
he rail as fast as his legs would carrv
him.
Klrby, kicking off the earth, arose
from bis grave, picked up the lantern
nnd wos hurrying away when he saw
the light glisten on met til nnd found
the gun. This gnve blm courage. He
could clth.r appear to lie hunting for
bodies or convicts, ns he liked. Ho
worked his way through the people
scurrying iihout till he heard a distant
locomotive whistle. A few minutes
Inter he struck the rolls and by tbe
lights near by a station. Host of all.
tbe .locomotive headlight shone fa
down the road and was slowly grow
ing brighter. Throwing away bis gun
and lantern, be ran for the station and
reached It just as the train pulled out
Being without money nnd fearing the
station would be watched, he darted
imder-a car and clung to the bottom,

TRAGIC SLEEPWALKING.
Inoident Upon Whloh Bellini Based His
Calibrated Opera.
Somnambulists can maintain their
footing In the most perilous places so
long as tbey remain lu a state of som
nambulism, but If suddenly awakenec
they Instantly lose tbelr self posses
sion and balance.
On erne occasion a young woman lin
ing In Dresden was seen at mldnigk"
walking on tbe edge of tte roof of be.
bouse. Her family were immediately
toldof ber plight, but were afraid to
go near her. The neighbors gathered
about tbe bouse and plucrd mattresses
and blankets along tbe street in hopes
that tbey might save ber in case she
felb
She 'danced for over fin hour on tbe
slanting roof, apparently retaining ber
balance' without difficulty, and every
now and then she would advance to
tbe edge and bow to tbe silent crowd
standing uiuuy feet below ber.
At last sbe climbed down on to tbe
wide gutter wbich ran In front of tbe
window through which she had come,
with the evident intention of re-entering
tbe bouse. The crowd watching
ber so Intently drew a slgb of relief.
But, unfortunately, ber terrified rela
tives, thinking to assist ber. bad placed
two lighted candles in the room near
tbe window, and us sbe approached the
light fell directly in ber eyes.
Instantly the shock awakened her,
and she swayed back and forth In ber
perilous position: then, with a frightful
scream, sne fell headlong to the ground.
She was fatally hurt and died in a
few bours. It was on this tragedy that
Bellini wrote bis celebrated opera "La
Bonnambula."
Who 8aya Hana Have No Brains?
"Hens have no brains." declared the
wife of a modern farmer as she chased
a fat old Wyandotte toward tbe roost
ing place she should have sought vol
untarily. Before I could challenge tbe wom
an's statement the ben by a brilliant
strategic movement completely eluded
her pursuer and with a triumphant
cackle disappeared in the tall grass.
Tbe method of ber escape showed
brains, there could be no two opinions
about that, but tt was ber cackle that
should bnve settled any wavering
doubt In the mind of ber detractor, for
that cackle was uttered at exactly tbe
right moment not an Instant too soon,
not n second too Into. And It takes
brains to know just wben to cackle.

Feeding and Literary Geniua.
B G. Wells Is among those who be
lieve that indigestion is on aid to suc
cessful authorship. Some years ago
when called upon to answer the ques
tion. "What is tho first step toward
literary production?" Mr. Wells re
plied. "It Is Imperative if you wish to
write with any power or freshness ut
all that you should utterly ruin your
digestion." Victor Hugo appears to
have done his best to bring on Indiges
tion. Edmond Lockroy states in his
memoirs that It was Ilium's Invnrlnliln
custom when served with ernvflsh tn
devour the bend, chiws and tall and to
swallow the skin and pips whenever
he ate an orange.
Connection between fecdlni? nnrt lit
erary genius is commented on by Rob
ert Sherurd In bis "Modern Purls.''
Theophlle Gnutler, himself enormous,
maintained that a mini of genius
should be fat and for proof pointed to
"that more barrel than man." linline-
to Alexandre Dumas, "always fat and
jolly;" to the "hippopotamus In breech
es," Kosslul. and the plump nnd well
fed appearance of Victor Hugo and
Suinte-Beuve.
Old Scottish Sanctuary.
The old sanctuary of tho abbey nnd
palace of Holyrood house, to quote the
full description, was nu Interesting in
stitution. The debtor wii.m free from
arrest during the week. On entering
tlie sanctuary be enrolled himself In n
formal mannijr and obtained a room
that is. If he could pay for It. There
was a public house within the bound
aries and It was not uncommon to see
the debtor In the inn playing dominoes
nnd his creditor standing looking In nt
the window with wistful eyes. The
debtor wus safe, mid he knew It nnd
the face of tho creditor told the same
bile. Sunday being n dies non, t&e
debtor could leave his sanctuary and
visit his family, but be had to be care
ful to get buck to Holyrood on Sunday
night. Sometimes a debtor had the
temerity to leave on a week' day. but
he did so at Ills peril. Loudon Spectator.
