miles from the scattered outskirts of
Walla Walla. among new green

V The convicts themselv- were in a
genial mood. easily moved to wide
grins: and with emception
they looked much like any other road
gang. Curlew enough. whenever
the wudon's thought dwelt upon
the inmates of his prison. there was
always one wind-tanned. vivid hoe.
one heawny. towering form that
seemed to dInand individual con-
sideration. The man who was listed
on thorocordsasBanKlnneywss
distinctly an individual.
"That's the quot-oat case we ever
had here at Walla Walla.” Bprigley
told his fellow guard. as they
watched the man's pick swing in the
air. “Sometimes I wonder whether
he ought to be here or not. Look at
that face—ho hasn't any more of a
criminal face than I have.”

- "Now let me tell you how thew;
i happened to catch him. Haybo you:
' heard—he and Dago hunk were in
tho act of braking into the Western-
Daniah Bank. They were in the
alley, in the act of jimmying a. win-
dow. and all at once Kinney straight-
encd up as if something had hit him
and let the jimmy fall with s. thump
to the pavement. He put his hands
to his head. lilo a man with a head-
ache. And tho next instant a cop
cums running from the mouth of the
alley.
"Kinney was heeled. but he didn‘t
even pull his gun. Now let me tell
you another queer thing. You know.

Ho has th- all on out a card. Well.
when this man Kinney turned in his
card. he had written 'Bon' on it. but
the rest was absolutely blank.
"Mr. Mitchell thought at first that
the man couldn't write. It turned
out. though. that he can write—an
intelligent hand. and spell good too.
Then Mitchell decided he was Just
sulking. but I'm confident I know
the answer. The reason he didn't

couldn‘t rememhu'.
“He couldn't rsmeznher where or
when he was born. or who were his
folks. or where he had come from. or
how he had spat his life. Amnesia-
that's what tho doctors call it—am-
nosia following some sort of a men.-
tsl trouble. In tho and you'll see
that I'm. right."
Thus had been quite a northu'n
migration lately. these late spring
days. The last of the waterfowl had
passed by now. but the northern mi-
gration was not yet done.
Ben thought about them as birds
of passge. and tho thought amused
him. And at tho sight of a small.
stooped figure advancing toward him
up the railroad right-023w” he
paused. leaning-en his pick.
Because Ben had pausai. for the
first time in an hour. his two guards
looked up to see what had attracted
his attention. They saw what
seemed to them a whitohaired old
wanderer of sixty years or more; but
at first they were wholly at a ion to u

The old man himself halted. re
turning Klnney’s stare. Klnney's
mind seemed to be reaching. groping
for some astonishing truth that
eluded him.
The old man ran. in great strides.
toward him. ”My God. aren't you
Ben Darby?" he demanded.
The convict answered him as from
a great distance. his voice cool and
calm and with an infinite certainty.
“Of course." he said. “Of course
I‘m Darby.”
For the moment that chance meet-
ing thrilled all the spectators with
the sense of monumental drama. The
convicts stared: Howard. the second
guard. started splurdly. rather guilt-
iZy, when the old man whirled to-
ward him.
"What are you doing with Ben
Darby in a convict gang?" the old
wanderer demanded.

The old mm had turned his eyes
again to the tall, trembling figure of
Ben.

struggling with deep emotion. “What

"Five yours—for burglary." he an-

“You don't know me?" Some of
