Aierts Awful Tragedy.
Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wil
loughby, of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1)
prevented a dreadful tragedy and
saved two lives. Doctors had said
her frightful cough was a "consump
tion" cough and could do little to
help her. After many remedies
f piled, her aunt urged her to take Dr.
King's New Discovery. "I have been
using it for some time," she wrote,
"and the awful cough has almost
gone. It also saved my little boy
when taken with a severe bronchial
trouble." This matchless medicine
has no equal for throat and lung
troubles. Price 50 cents and $1.00.
Trial botle free. Guaranteed by J.
C. Perry.

CHAPTER II.
WITH an agility surprisingly
In contrast with bis former
decrepit attitude, the intend
ed victim seized bis chair
and raised It threateningly over his
head. The two officers baited. Doyle,
regaining a calm demeanor, through
the excellent self control which had
become one of his valuable assets In
his business, spoke easily.
"So you don't want a friend, old
fellow?"
Avery lowered the chair.
"No.'' he snorted, "not any friends
that are coppers. Thieves are bad
enough.'? . ?
The point of the reply did not escape
Doyle.
"Well," he responded angrily, "you
have got me for an enemy all the rest
of your worthless life. You'd better
come to see me once a month for fear
I grab you by mistake on suspicion."
"To with you!" snarled Avery,
turning nwny and facing the warden.
"I've got tlie regular state allowance
for released prisoners comln' to me.
ain't I?"
"Yes," answered nnndler, "and you
take It and get out of here, you
crook: Here, sign this" (he showed
him a paper), "if you cnu write. If
you can't, why, make your mark." The
warden handed over a bill.
The departing man scanned the
greenback Uopreentlngly.
"Five dollnrs." he cried, "and this
suit of clothes thnt a country con
stable could see the Sing Sing tag on
In the night! Pretty good for eight
years and ten months' work, eh? And
you guys are my friends! For God's
sake, let me get out of here, where
there are men who don't live on the
mistakes of some one else." He
wheeled toward the door nnd disap
peared. "There's one more we've got to keep
track of," commented Doyle.
"He'll be at work In a week," said
Handler laconically.
"Yes, nnil I'll hull hlra nnd give him
back to you."
"I don't want him," the warden put
In linsrllv. "I Just m i trli t make It

tough for 111 m if he was sent back. 1
thought he bud come to his senses and
would .belp you ugalnst Valentine, but
he's Just .a plain fool."
"And nil alike all blaming us for
their fall." The detective seated him
self as h spoke. "He can't work now;
he's too olit. The game an he knew it
was th yegg game."
Handler also had resumed his seat,
and he leaned over his desk and snld
significantly: "So- you're afraid Valen
tino will ftet a new trial, eh? There's
some .class to Valentine. Have n
smoke." The prison muster held out
a box of perfectos, from which Doyle
gratefully extracted a weed.
"Thanks," mumbled the detective.
"This Vnlentlne Is the only high class
crook I ever knew that I couldn't
reach and put nwny for keeps. There's)
something of a mystery about him.
He'd get nwny with the Itulllcs ganio
la high Hoelety In n walk. The swell
dames would go dnffy over his good
looks and his tony manners and his
pleading voice. Yet he has trailed
along with the toughest gang In tho
business." Doyle punned, then said,
"And yet he says he Is Innocent, I sup
pose." "Yes," put in Handler, leaning com
fortably In his chnlr. "Said so last
time I tallied with liim. This prison Is
killing Mm. He doesn't like It. Ho
can't stand it. His nerves will stick
out through his skin if they Jump
much more."
"He's the one fellow I think this
life would cure.- lie's a wonder."
"At safes, you mean," was Han
dler's sarcastic rejoinder.
Mttle did the warden and the detec
tive realize as they sat and schemed
to brlnK about the further and coin

ends, rough hew them how we will,"
ana wis tnnuence 'Ui not denied to
those who languish forlorn and hope
less in prison cells.
Little did they know that It might
be Jimmy Valentine, No. 1280, who
was to teach them that the soul of
man Is an unquenchable spark that
not even years of oppression and
degradation can lastingly dim when
the spirit wills that they shall not.
And Just now there came a knocking
at the warden's door that portended
much for No. 1289.
The warden's secretary went to the
door opening from the office into a
waiting room where visitors were re
ceived. He returned to announce,
"Some members of the Gate of Hope
society, and they have the lieutenant
governor and his niece with them."
"The lieutenant governor?" ejacu
later Handler. "Fay."
"Yes."
"What's the Gate of Hope?" asked
Doyle.
"A gang of women tryln to release
from prison convicts they believe are
Innocent," said the wnrden.
The detective smiled.
At Handler's order Smith summoned
the callers, Doyle making bis exit
"The lieutenant governor," pondered
Handler. "I wonder if there" any
leak about those contracts for tup
plirt." Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Webster of the
society, middle aged women of pleas
ing appearance, came in, followed by
Rose Lane, the lieutenant governor's
niece, and that official himself. Miss
Lane, a young girl of unmistakable
charm and beauty, held close to her
uncle's side.
"Mr. Handler," spoke Mrs. Webster,
"we come today with a famous hu
manitarian. Lieutenant Governor
Fay." she pronounced. Inclining to
ward thnt official.
"Governor." said the warden, bow
ing. The lieutenant governor shook
Handler's baud and presented his
niece. The party seated themselves,
facing the warden.
"We have come here today," said
Mrs. Moore, "to again ask that men
be not forced to make confessions
while Imprisoned here that may be
used again; them when they leave
here. We understand thnt through
the pressure that cau be brought to
bear on the Inmates in these Institu
tions they cau be made willing to con
fess to crimes they never committed."
"What do you mean?" queried Han
dler. "Oh, we understand that by depriv
ing prisoners of their proper allow
ance of food nm of small privileges
they are allowed, nnd by bullying con
duct on the part of the men In charge
of them the InmateB can be led to
make false confessions Involving
themselves or others. This informa
tion Is used against the men after
they are released as well as against
men who are ut large whom the po
lice desire to Incriminate."
"No one Is ever forced to confess
anything here, madam," protested
Hand lor.
"Rut I know"
"Pardon me, Mrs. Moore." Inter
rupted the lieutenant governor, rising.
"I do not think thnt In your zeal you
realize what jw are saying." He Ad
dressed the warden. "It seems, how
ever. Hint these well meaning Indies
have evidence thnt n certain mini here
did confess some offense to a a"
"To a stool." commented Handler.
"Am I responsible for the detectives
who have men working Inside tho
prison for them?"
"I!y a 'stool' you menn"
"A stool pigeon, a decoy. They win
the confidence of prisoners and tell
what they lenni to the detectives."
Mrs. Moore hero went on to Btate
thnt In Slug Sing and In nil prisons
were confined many Innocent men and
that In any event released men should
be encouraged to live honestly, should
be given n chance. They ought not to
be pursued and hounded Into being
spies by detectives anxious to make
a record for securing convictions re
gardless of the truth of the testimony.
One reason the woman advanced for
her stand wu -that a man who be
en me n spy or decoy must associate
continually with men and women of
questionable churacter. thus rendering
It Impossible to secure or much less
remain In honest employment.
"Bosh!" exclaimed Hnpdler aa she
censed. "Those folks we get don't
want to live straight, won't lire
straight, can't live straight when they
get on the outside. First, they're all
lasty; second, most of them are In
sane. "What would you call a man," con
tinued the wnrden, "who does some
thing the law forbids, does it when
ever the opportunity offers without a
chance of gain? What do you call a
man who does a thlug for the love of
It?"
"An artist." answered Mrs. Web
ster. "Artist! Then I've got a lot of
them," laughed Handler sarcastically.
"Well, to me they are Insane."
To Rose I.nne the uilveutuie wus ex
tremely Interesting. Finally succeed
ing In gaining her uncle's consent to
her accompanying hlin on u visit to
tho great prison, she was now seeing
a little section of the darker side of
life which appealed strongly to her
Imaginative nature. Her cheeks flush
ed with the excitement of the occa
sion, tills voyage Into this fainius

"Did he lake your Jewels?" asked
Mrs, Moore sympathetically.
"Xu. I was In Hie parlor car In day

car, anil this mini walked up uml ac
costed me. I reached for the bell for
the porter. He struck my wrist. Then
he sat on the- arm of my chair. He
wanted to talk to me, he said. 1
scarcely knew what to do when n
younger man, evidently a gentleman,
walked In from the smoking compart
ment and, taking the man by the arm,
led him away."
"How do you know the man was a

threw his arms nbout my shoulders
nnd again sat on the chair arm. When
I reached for the 'bell he struck my
arm. I screamed. The gentlornan

Into the car, and they fought. I was
petrified with fright. The gentleman
was much the smaller, and It seemed
he would surely be killed wheu sud
denly by some trick he sent the uiiiu
crushing through the Pullman window.
I reud in the paper the next day Hint
a famous burglar was found with his
skull fractured near the tracks."
A strange light came Into Handler's
eyes. Was It possible, he thought
that so strange a coincidence
"Did that occur in this Btate?" he
BBkcd quickly.
"Yes," between Buffalo and Roches
ter two years ago In June."
The warden compressed his lips
firmly.
"Was the dead burglar's name Cot
ton?" he Interrogated earnestly.
"Yes; that's what the papers said.
Did you know bim?"
"Had him here for five years once.
Odd, but we heard be was killed try
ing to get on a moving train. And, by
the way. his particular pal Is now in
this prison doing ten safe breaking.
Ills name Is Valentine. The story you
tell Is n brand new one on us,"
"And you never saw again the gen
tleman who rescued you?" queried
Mrs. Moore of Miss Lane.'
"Never." Into the young girl's face
came aa expression of mlligled sweet
ness and regret. The woman's ques
tion seined to revive In her the mem
ories of n voice and face nnd a man
ner anil a personality which somehow
she had never been quite able to for
get. "Wo snt and talked for a few min
utes," she finally went on. "He told
mo that there were reasons why he
could not lot me know who he was
nud that ho could never see mo npnln,
though I wanted hlin to meet my fami
ly to receive their thanks for what he
hud done. He was very nervous, hut
lie had amazing strength for one or
his build, as lils handling of that ruf
fian showed. When he shook hands
with lue I noticed that his hands were
very white and sinooih and sensitive."
The warden tins now leaning over
bin desk. Intent on the girl's words.
"I noticed that he had the habit of
frequently pressing one baud nervous
ly Into the other, and"
"He was tall, and he had blond hair,"
Interjected the warden.
The girl gazed at Handler In open
mouthed astonishment.
