Chapter 33 , CAUTIOUS CUAftOS ; , !:A T ton o'clock at nlglit Miirpliy passed my coll door 'nnd lionril 'licart-reiidlnR Rroans that he ex yoctcd to hear. Supposing ,(as lie stntod, in evldonco. lntor) tli'nt "the occupant of the coll had attempted iulclde or wak dying, lie- unlocked the door nnd stopped inside. Indtnntly an automatic pistol np penrcd In front of his. tiico Wd a krlm voice said: "Put 'om liD-" , As he cild so, the voice con tinued: -; ' "Ilci'b's whoro 1 dlo attor I've killed you or else 1 mnko my getaway, istrlp!" And Quard Murphy pretended that he was trapped, 'iinil that uiiIobs he In- staiitly ohoycil oyery order of this Ucaperato crhiiiual, ho would he a dend man. -"Quick," 1 growled. "Cap, trous ers, everything . , '. If 1 got 'clear you'll novor 'uood to work again." i "I'm trusting ye," whispered aunid Murphy. i "I'm trusting yoij too. Murphy," I siilil, "hut tu.ru (if mo and oross your wrists behind you. I shall only want one hand and my teeth for the job, and my other hand will bo holding tho gun against your Mvor." In ubout tli i-oo tn I nu ton. Mur phy's uniform, boots, enp nnd belt were on tho floor of the coll, and his hands woro bound together be hind hi m, and I could now lay the pistol asldo. tn anotlior minute his Toot wore tied togothor. i ' (invlng gagged lilin I dressed 'myself ns a guard, and, taking his key's, Aliened the door, stopped out into tho corridor, and locked the door behind mo. 1 was free inside tho prison, i and It every man reacted correctly to my suddenly presented plBtol, thero was a chance that I should bo, freo outsldo it too. 'Assuming tho ullitudo of, a gu'nrd on duly, I tramped down the corridor, toward tho watchman who, ns I knew, would bo outside the big common-cell known for some reason us The Fort, If the watchman took no notice, of mo, as was qulto likely in 'that dim light, 1 would pass on. As 1 passed him the watchman looked up. . "Say, Palsy," ho said, nnd then his eyes and mouth opened wider. 'What the ..." , "Slick 'cm up!" I growled. "Quick!" nud his hands shot up as high as ho could put them. 1 took Ills pistol. ."Unlock tho door and got Inside, quick," 1 said. Tho watchman opened that four Inch Iron door moro quickly than usual, and wont Into Tho Fort ns though it was his homo. It wus for qulto a Uttlo while. Llko Qiinrd Murphy, ho was lafcly out of action bntll Somo one oilier than myself was In posses sion of tho big key which 1 turned and withdrew from tho lock. The Vatcliman hod dono me splendid service by recORiiizIng hio and causing mo to dnve him Into the coll, for ho had provided a perfect solution of the grcutcr part of my nrnblom. Whither tho watchman had gone his comrades 'should go every guard, wotchninn, trusty, or other ofllclnl who recognized mo slowed suoplclon. That big cell, 1 realized, bad no ilmlows in the ordinary aoimo of the word. Thbro would be no a-iilllilo cry for help from The 'r'ort. Proceeding on my way toward tho Warden's Office. I emerged Into the blesHod fresh ulr of the "dark night, and marched . boldly ru-ross the bare, Inner quadrangle which was the convicts' exercise-ground. t) where a guard stood sentinel beneath a lamp. As I urt'roach.M him nt all angle, whittling nn IrMh air which was a fa'irll. with .Murphy, I got Within arm's 'cngth of the sentry without and talked to in a gentle, friendly voice is even more delightful. ' Q ) , It Is well If this sort of attentlor . comes approximately at the uunr nour eacn aay so he can learn to count on it and still- not demand' It at all times after the traditional man ner of the spoiled baby.

Up went tho guard's hands, for life was ns dour to him as to most; of us. .. Within a minute I had shepherd ed liiy victim to tho Fort door, and mode him opon It And enter. The look of disappointment 'on the. Imprisoned watchman's face as ho saw two automatics and the guard, instead of release was ludi crous. . ,, , . Don t cither of you be near thai door, next tlmo it Opens," 1 said. "L . may get mad nnd make a real kill ing." ; '. ' The door closed gently, and again I locked It'arid withdrew the ; koy.

When his foe'e was beginning to tuni purple, 1 suddonly released my grip with one hnnd, drew an other pistol from 'my pocket, and lieid It to his face.. 'Do wo bolh die?" I growled. : . "No," he wheozed. "You win." "Oct dp and give tho Blgnal to the outer giliinl at the sates,'' 1 ordered. Staggering to his feet, tho clerk' wont over to tho boll-pull, two pistols threatening him from be hind. I certainly wasn't going to shoot him, but he didn't know that. "Don't glvo the wrong signal,' I said, "unless you're really tlrdl of life." "No," ho promised. "I'll 'suro give the right signal." Hut I saw a triumphant thought (lash through ills mind, tie would give the signal, and. as souii as the Inner galo was opohed, and 1 marched out of the room to oscane, ho wouhl glvo the alarm to the guard at the gale when I was halt way there. "I'll glvo tho ' right signal," he answered me, and did so.
