At last'my curiosity got the better of

The question evidently surprised
him. for he toyed with the lantern a
long time before he replied, “Did you
ever see a real 'bo carry}. lantern?"
I soon retired, but sleep would not

He was about 35 years old. not very
tall, and his features were coarse and
hardened.
Everything seemed to be all right
and I returned to the house.
About 9 o ‘clock several of the neigh-
bors drove into the lot and a few min-
utes later I saw a tractor and feed

I greeted the men as they came to-..

the news that a convict had escaped

city about fifteen miles south ,of‘ the
farm, and was at large in the com

where I had been shoveling back the
cut feed at the same time. Henry, who
had gone t the south field to fix. a
broken place in the fence, returned to
the house a few minutes later. He had
used all his staples and needed more
to finish me work. I saw him as he
came out of the workshop and mo-
tioned for him to come to me. He came
immediately. but I had to shout to
make myself heard above the rattle and
roar of the machinery. “I want you to
go over to the west side of the south
forty and fix that branch water gate,”
I shouted. “I walked past there yes-
terday and the gate was broken down.
The cows will be in Wilson’s turnips
if you don't fix it this morning. There
in a pile of rails and old boards a little
way down the fence and you can get
some cable from the shop."
“I used allnthej cable this morning

more in the shop."
“Well, look around till yOu find
some; there ought to be a piece back
of the barn."
