I was walking on a river bank when
I saw a rowboat approaching. I was
coming from the penitentiary on the
other bank and half a mile upstream.
Whoever was in it was pulling as for
dear life. As soon as he came near
enough to me I recognized the stripes
of a convict.
1 stood under overhanging trees, and
he could not see me. He ran his boat
ashore just below where I was and
without stopping to make fast pimped
out and climbed the bank. There be
saw a woman within a few feet cf him.
I shall never forget the agonized look
on his face, and on seeing me it
changed to despair.
"For God's sake, help me!" he cried.
"I have just escaped from over there.
and they'll be after me right away. 1
was put in for a crime I never commit
ted. Either kill me or give me a chance.
If you tell them which way I go from
here they will overtake me and take
me back to what is worse than hell to
one reared as I was."
I looked up into the dense foliage of
a tree above where we stood. He took
the hint and, giving a jump, caught a
lower limb, pulled himself up and dis
appeared among the topmost branches.
Meanwhile his boat had floated down
with the current. I saw another boat
shoot out from the penitentiary. It
came dashing along, scattering spray
with its oars and making directly
for the spot where I was. Some one I
must have seen the convict laud and
have marked the location. The bout's
occupunts jumped ashore directly
where I stood.
Xow, I was not quite up to telling a
deliberate lie, but I was willing to look
one, especially for a poor fellow fleeing
from piison. Before the men had
climbed the bank I had turned and was
looking southward as If intensely in-,
terested In something. When they ap
peared behind me I turned toward
them. They asked me which way a
man in stripes bad gone. I did not
reply. But I had Indicated the route
he had taken by dumb show, and they
set off In that direction.
Soon after they had gone the man in
the tree called to'suie to ak if they
were out of sight. When I told him
that they were he came down and,
taking my hand, covered it with kisses.
Ho was too much moved to say u word.
"Go back," I said, "and keep in hid
ing. I will get you some clothing."
He went back Into the tree, and I
went home, caught up some of my
brother's old clothes and ran back with
them. The prisoner descended and
took them In among some bushes, put
them on and, rolling his striped suit
about a stone, threw it into the river.
Then, seizing my hand, he looked a
world of gratitude, then went off In a
direction opposite the one his pursuers
had taken.
About a year after this, while looking
mer a newspaper, I saw mention of
the arrest of an employee of a bank
for embezzlement of the bank's funds.
The Item went on to say tlmt the same
bank hud suffered In the same way ti
few years before. An employee bad
been convicted of the crime ami bud
been Rent to the pi-uilcutlaiy, but had
escaped and had not been found. The
person now arrested had confessed to
having committed both crimes.
I certainly had not forg"tten the
young man In whose es. apo I bad ns
shied. Indeed, I had thought a gieat
dtHl about tilui.
(.Hie afternoon I was sitting on th.- ,
porch reading when a motor, ar was
driven up to the door and a well
dressed young man uliiihtcd and cnine
up on to the poo u. I recognized him
at once as my c.si aped prisoner. To
my surprise, he did not appcur to recog :
nlzo mo. He looked at me as tlnuiini
trying to discover if he bad seen mo
before.
"Whom do you wish to see?" I asked
him.
"A filling lady v. ho assisted a pi is
oner to I'hiHk from the ienitcntint,v."
"It doc tint secni that she made
much of nu Impression on you."
"That wm be mine t was so absorbed
Id my flight. All my faculties mcic
rlvetiij on waking good my '"iiie."
"I can understand Hint. Well, I him
that girl you are looking for."
Hii manner -lrtni.'"d at once. He
looked ut me ns though, to ne a :iia
doxliul espressloii, III' whs oblivion I to
uiv. He win lijlng to remeini r the
girl to whom be owed no much.
"I have leiirhi-d that you have l i n

"Yen, thank io(l!"
"I ei'iifes I whs linii li pleased when
