THE TRAGEDY OF

Mr Thomas Hearne lay hid amongst

He reported all well; Julius Craig had
mdoubtedly noticed the white water

waiting for him.
I could talk to you for an hour of

aervous man would not have stood
'.hat strain; but we were not a neu
rotlc couple, the old chap and I.
As bard and keen and clever as a
ad of 21 was Thomas Hearne,
It
was he who spent the day In Ply-
mouth, returning with a wig and long
»vercoat that might temporarily con-
real the convict's Identity until he
sou Id change his yellow prison uni-
form for the clothes I li ad already
bought; It was he who gathered to
himself all the weather lore of the
village until he had become a better
prophet than the wisest ve'eran of the
tnoors. Two fogs we had. but dur
ing the first the convicts were kept
within the walls; while before the
»ther caught them the warders had
time to rush the gangs back to their
rolls.
Yet Hearne never lost temper
kt these delays, cheering me hack Into
patience with the strength of his own
certainty.
"Don’t you worry, Kingsley,” he
would say; "what is fated to happen
rannot be prevented, and Providence
will see to It that Julius Craig comes
to us soon.”
His affection for the convict seem-
sd to fill bls life. No risk, no labor
was too heavy; no storm would drive
film from his post Often when I
smoked by the Inn fire he was crouch
ing patiently amongst the rocks on
the cairn hill, as If It were his only
son for whom he waited. There was
something Inhuman in bls merciless
lelf-eacrifice; but I had no reason to
complain, for It lightened the burden
on my shoulders.
It was at three o’clock on Tuesday,
Way 9, that Julius Craig escaped.
Poor devil! If he had but known!
Hearne and I had quarreled
that
morning over the fog question. Per
haps both our tempers were wearing
thin, but that was no excuse for his
dropping from argument to Insults. I
dare say he thought my language just
*s bad; but that didn't make the trou
ble any lighter.
There was fog In
the air, he said, though even the land
lord laughed at the idea when I put
the question to him. Finally the old
man walked off In a huff, though I had
so far given way as to promise that
I would bring the cart to the ruins
by lunch time.
I sulked about the Inn until the pa-
pers came from Plymouth, When I
had finished reading them It was nigh
one o'clock. A leg of lamb was cook
ing In the kitchen.
Just because
Hearno preferred cold
ham sand
wiches or a draughty hill there was
no reason why I should not have my
meal In comfort.
I would lunch be-
fore I started, and he could wait for
his sandwiches.
It was a selfish thing to do, but be

He got no further, for I was past
him like a flash and out into the
open.
The moors had gone; utterly vanish
ed away. In their place there lay a
blanket of billowy white that sent
wild streamers upwards to the flying
veil ot clouds. Only a quarter mile
of the main* road was visible, and
up It the first wave of the misty In
undation was marching like a lofty
wall. I ran toward the stable, cursing

I galloped for 300 yards, and then

horse to a slow trot.
I could still sew the road for a dosen

sideways upon mo In avalanches of
denser mist. Sometimes the car was

I
climbed down and went to the horse's
head, leading It forward at the run.
1 made better progress after that
Yet 1 was not more than half way
to the cairn hill when from the whirl
ing shadows to my left there came
a sound that sot my heart leaping lu
my breast. It »u the muffled thud of
a rifle.
I stopped, listening and staring Into
the mist A second shot followed And
then, as If raised by these echoes,
there clanged a distant bell, a deep
voice of loud alarm from the prison
tower, telling the ntoor that a convict
had escaped, that Julius Craig was
free and that I—I. miserable fool that
I waa. had failed In the trust which
had been placed upon me.
I tried not to think, but ran stub
bornly on beside the horse with that
Infernal bell rioting In my ears. My
Ute on the moors had put me lu
sound condition, and I never ■lack-
sued my pace till I had trotted up the
rise to where the track to the ruined
farm began.
I checked the horse
and walked slowly forward studying
the edge ot the moor besides the high
way for the mark of the grassgruwu
ruts I knew so well.
I heard the footsteps long before I
saw him, a quick patter upou the hard
surface behind me. As he came out

rltie to his hip with an easy swing
He waa a stoutly built man In the
neat dark uniform that marks the
prison warder.
Be careful with that gun, 1 said;
—for he still had me covered,
"1 beg your pardon, sir." he pant-
ed. "but we were close to him and—"
Close to whom?”
"There’s a convict escaped," he ex
plained. “You haven't seen him?"
' No, nor likely to in this weather."
He bad got his breath by this time
and stood leaning on bls rifle, look
ing vaguely about him.
"You are right, sir. We stand a far
better chance of losing ourselves than
of finding him In a fog like th I* But
one thing Is equally certain - be can't
get far, either ”
It was while he spoke that I beard
It—I the clink of a boot striking a
stone, and that not a score of yards
away.
"I’m afraid you are only wasting
time.” I said, as carelessly as I was
able,
"A needle la a haystack is
easy compared to a convict tn a
fog.”
"I think I must take your advice,
sir,” be laughed.
We wished each other good after-
noon, and he melted away as a man
might slide behind a curtain
His
footsteps died out down the road by
which he bad conie as I moved for
ward.
"That was a near thing, Kingsley,"
said a voice In the shadows, sod I
humbly thanked my luck that Hearne
stepped out upon the road.
"Tve no excuse," I began, "It was
alt my fault, and—"
"Hush! keep quiet."
He stood for a moment listening
like a dog at a door,
"If that fool of a warder had not
gone back we were done,” he whisper-
ed. “The guards chased us right Into
the ruins. While they searched them
we slipped down the track. Come
along, Craig, all’s well "
The convict rose from the heather,
where he had lain, and stumbled to
ward us. He wan shaking like a man
with the ague, and the sweat was
running off his forehead and down his
cheeks In natrow streaks.
"Am I safe?” he stuttered, grab
blng my arm.
"I’ve money, man,
money,
You shall have It, I swear
you shall have ft all! But I won’t go
back there—not alive!”
"Come, pull yourself together," said
Hearne, with a hand on bls shoul
der. "We have no time to waste, re
member.”
We wrapped the long coat over his
yellow clothes, stuck the wig over his
cropped head, and helped him to the
front seat. I took my place beside
him, Hearne clambered up behind, and
our journey began.
The horse was of the old moor
breed. He could have bowled us along
at a good ten miles an hour If the
fog bad allowed it; but as It waa we
rarely exceeded half that speed. It
waa a miserable time. Craig sat hud
dled by my side, now cursing me for
tho delay, now peering back along the
road, while he Implored us to tell him
If ft were galloping hoofs that he
heard.
He waa an ill-tempered, pet
ulant man, and I did not waste either
politeness or sympathy upon him. It
was not until we had passed over
some miles of rolling uplands and
dropped down a steep descent to a
moss-grown bridge, that the fog show-
ed signs of breaking
As we straln-
ed up the opposlto hill It began to
tear away In flying wisps like the
smoke of great guns, giving us
glimpses of a narrow slope of turf
ending In a cliff, at the foot of which
an unseen river moaned and chuckled.
"I helped you loyally—you have no
complaint against me?” asked old
Hearne, tapping me suddenly on the
shoulder.
