Dawes dung to North as the savior of his sgonixed soul, and rejected all such insidious over tures. Enraged at this obstinacy. Frere sentenced his victim to the “ spread- eagle” and the "stretcher." Now, the rumor of the obduracy of this undaunted convict, who had been recalled to her by the clergyman at their strange interview, had reached Sylvia's ears. She questioned her husband con cerning the convict's misdoings, but, with the petulant brutality which he In variably displayed when the name of Rufus Dawes intruded itself into their conversation, Maurice Frere harshly re fused to satisfy her. One sultry afternoon, when the com mandant had gone on a visit of inspec tion, Troke, lounging at the door of the new prison, beheld with surprise the fig ure of the commandant's lady. “ W hat Is it, ma'am?" he asked, scarcely able to believe his eyes. " I want to see the prisoner Dawes.” "H e 's — he's under punishment, ma’am.” “ W hat do you mean? Are they flog ging him?” “ N o; but — but he's dangerous, ma’am.” “ Do you wish me to complain to the commandant?” cries Sylvia, with a touch of her old spirit, and jumping hastily at the conclusion that the jailers were, perhaps, torturing the convict for their own entertainment. “ Open the door at once— at once!” Thus commanded, Troke, with a hasty growl of its “ being no affair of his, and he hoped Mrs. Frere would tell the cap tain how It happened,” flung open the door of a cell on the right hand of the doorway. It was so dark that at first Sylvia could distinguish nothing but the outline of a framework, with something stretched upon it that resembled a hu man body. Her first thought was that the man was dead, but this was not so — he groaned. H er eyes, accustomed themselves to the gloom, began to see what the "punishment” was. Upon the floor was placed an iron frame about six feet long, and two and a half feet wide, with round Iron bars, placed trans versely, about twelve inches apart. The man she came to seek was bound in a horixontal position upon this frame, with Ms neck projecting over the end o f it. I f he allowed his head to hang, the blood rushed tft his brain, and suffocated him, while the effort to keep It raised strained every muscle tq agony pitch. His fnce was purple, and he foamed at the mouth. Sylvia uttered a cry. “ This Is no punishment; It’s murder! W ho ordered this?” "T h e commandant,” said Troke, sul lenly. "M r.
