It so happened that at this time a eone
vireoy was oreeuized by two Or three of the
worst charaeters 111 'lends gang to break
their prison. They were to rise when in
the quarries, overpower the wardeus super-

part with of them, they thought they could
safely „count upon his telcin,g, no part against
them. They were Inistehen.
At the preconcerted signal theyrushed
upon the two warders who were doing their
best to superintend about Ave and twenty
men. The one nearest Tom was struck

lint solicitude was about his bird. It had
been hopping about a few yawls from him
when the attack bed taken place, but NOW it
was nowhere to be seen. In vain he wide -

just at that moment when lee was peremp-
torily ordered to fall in anff take his place
with the gang, preliminary to marching
back, it peeped out from amid a Iteap of
stones, and then came fluttering towards
him.
Needless to be said, the part Tom bad
taken upon this occasion was recorded in
Itis favor.

It was soldout her husband spoke to her
about the details of the prison life, but he
had mentioned this man's history, aud what
e difference his having beenallowea to:adopt
this pet had -made in him. She noticed the
bird, and although it was contrary to all
regulation to speak to a prisoner, she could
not help saying to him, 'You ought to be
very careful about your bird here for there
are two or three cats about, anti shoula it
stray far from you it might come to harm."
" Thank you, ma'am," said Tom, "it is so
tame it will come if you chirnm to it."
Mrs. M. said no more, but in the course
of the afternoon she purchased a cage, and
having duly furnished it with seed ground -
sol and water, took it up to the library the
next morning, and. presented it to Tom
Stone, with a recommendation that he
should put his bird therein and keep the
cage always near him, while he was work-
ing there.
Mrs. M. was fairly astounded at the effect
of her gift. Tom Stone took the cage from
her hand, made an ineffectual attempt to
speak, then dropped upon the nearest chair,
and burying his face upon his hands, sobbed
like a child.
The years rolled slowly by, but Tom
henceforth bore his punishment bravely and
patiently; and, even when he lost his little
"friend in feathers," whose brief bird -life
ended before Tom had half worked out his
mitigated sentence, never lop heart.
Some twelve years afterwards Tom Stone,
finally found himself outside the doors of
Portland, with an excellent character from
the governor and. a small sum �f money in
his pocket, a free man. The broken ha six-
pence was round his neck, and his destina-

burst front his lips, and as he pieked up his
crusliea favorite his eyes glared, amd Ise his -
so! into the warder's ear—"You accursed
cur, you've 'killed it."
To do the man justice, he kept his
temper, but unfortunately attempted in
clumsy fashion to offer consolation.
"Peel I" he said, "don't rake on so about a
mouse ; there's lots more to be found, in the
quarries," and, unluelcily, as he spoke there
was a smile upon his lips; to him it seemed
absurd that any one should "take on" about
a mere mouse. Ile had no conception what
that mouse was to Tom Stone.
"You did it on purpose, you brute," thun-
dered Tom as he flew at the warder, tumbled
through the cell door with him into the hall,
seemingly doing his best to throttle him.
Plenty of assistance, however, was at
hand, and the warder, though not a little
mauled, was speedily rescued, and Tom borne
off in close custody to the "Separates."
A prison cell may be thought no great loss,
but to make one appreciate it, it is only
necessary to exchange it for the "Separates.'
A convict's bed may not be luxurious, nor
his fare either, but they compare favorably
with the bare stone bench and bread and
water of the other domicile, to say nothing
of the unbroken solitude of the latter. Re-
fractory prisoners, after one experience
think twice before incurring this punish-
ment, to say nothing of the dread of the ex-
treme penalty of flogging, which it is 130S -
Bible may be attached to it, on the visit of
the prison directors.
For some weeks TOM Stone endured this
discipline, and though he escaped the ex-
treme penalty, on the plea of having received
extreme, though unintentional provocation,
yet ,he returned to his own work at the
quarries tamed, Yes, tamed, as you would
tame a wild beast, by semi -starvation. He
did his work doggedly and sullenly, and
even when speech was permitted showed no
inclination to open his lips to any one. In
the eyes of the warders he was decidely
dangerous, not one of them bub kept a wary
eye upon Tom Stone. Aral it was current
talk amongst them that Stone would come
to his end for murdering one of them if he
ever had the opportunity. • • • •

However, the name of Tom Stone was
quite sufficient revelation to both the police
mei the keepers. He was a gooadooking
young fellow, son of a small farmer close by,
and well known all around the country as a
good runner, cricketer and dancer, fond. of
fun and a constant attendant at all fairs or

Toni Stone was no whit: dismayed by his
tentence, for he had expected nothing else;
he had. known from the first, that his ease
was hopeless, that Isis life was in little dan-
ger, but penal servitude was imminent ;that
it was a mere question of for how many
years. And to Tom, with all the 'pulses of
youth running riot in his veins, this seemed
a matter of such little moment. For 15 years,
for life, what did ie matter? the work' was
aead for Mtn; better far to have gone to his
grave than to be buried in the gloomy walls
of a convict prison. Poor lambere1 he was

the accusation was vague, and had never
been substantiated. The one serape estab-
lished against Tom was that under the in-
fluence of drink he had listened to the bland-
ishments of a recruiting sergeant, and that
his family had had to find the "smart money"
in consequence.
That Tom Stone should be missing from
his accustomed haunts when the .search be-
gan for him was only what might have been
expected. Both he and his companion were
quite aware that they had committed mur-
der, not oold-blooded murder certainly, bat
that they would be tried for their lives if
captured, they'd no doubt about. The hue
and cry was up againstthem, and the coun-
try was scoured by the police in all direc-
tions. Before a week was over Tom. Stone
was a prisoner, butof his companion no trace
had been discovered. The cases were widely
different. Stone was known both ay name
and personality to his pursuers; about the
other nothing wasto be learned. The two
prisoners preserved sullen silence. They
refused even to acknowledge that Stone was
the name of one of the•two who hadescaped.
They would say nothing. They declined to
give their own names., and even their identity
h.td taken some trouble to establish. That
was at length cleexecl up, and the fact that
they came from a large and not very distant
town placed beyond doubt. Stone when
taken followed their example, and main-
tained a similar unbroken silence. Weeks
elapsed, and pill no trace of the remaining
fugitive could be found. The police'after
much patient search, had discovered.where
Stone =tithe comradeof his flight haclparted,
but beyond that they could findoutnothing.
So it came to pass that after some weeks
Tom stood alone in the dock arraigned for
the murder at the Spring Assizes at Scud -
borough, the two other prisoners being in-
dicted for "night poaching with violence"
only. The evidence against him was over-
whelming, that though he (lid not exactly
fire the fatal shot he was an accessory and
instigator to the murder. The watcher
proved this clearly. There was his flight and
plenty of other circumstantial evidence to
eorroborete all that this man had said. The
watcher was positive about the name Lam-
bert had used., and that it was Tom Stone
who stood in the dock before the jury was
beyond all doubt.
"Twenty years penal servitude," was the
judge's sentence and. in the opinion of the
lawyers, Tom Stone was very fortunate not
to have been condemned for life. The pris-
oner kept his lips dosed until the last, but

The thoughts of her ought to have kept him
straight. It was done now, and he must
pay the penalty. He hadlost all that made
life worth living, and yet he was quite aware
that there were many years before him that
had to be got through. He was young and
strong, quite likely to live out bis time, and
then what was there for him ? To come out
ancl begin the world anew, that world in
which the best thine he ceuld hope was that
it had forgotten him. Lizzie 1 What would
have become of her? She would be married,
no doubt. True'he had had one letter from
her since he was taken, in which she expresst
ed her disbelief in the charge, but • owed to
love him forever; but that was before his
trial, now he was a branded man was it like-
ly that a woman would wait twenty years
for a convict, a man whom no one would
employ, and who was likely to find himself
in sore straits about earning his bread should
he ever come to neea it? Tom Stone was,
according to regular „routine, sent to Mil-
bank at the conclusion of the Assizes, from
which, after two or three months he was in
clue course transferred to Portland.
CHAPTER II. —INTITE Q17A1MIES.
Tons Stone, when he arrived at the British
Gibraltar, was already a sullen and embit-
tered prisoner. He arrived there from Mil-
bank with the character of being refrac-
tory; the man's disposition had besn soured
from the outset by what he considered a
piece of needless tyranny on the part of his
jailers. At Milbank he had of course, to
change his clothes for prison dress, but
further, he had taken from him his sole
memento of his lost love ; he had begged,
he had implored to be allowed to keep that
broken sixpence. He had been told that it
was contrary to the rules; it had been ex-
plained perhaps more bluntly than symi
pathetically that it would be kept for him
and restored to him on his release. In the
mean -time he must give it up. Poor hot -
heeded Tom lost his temper, and was ill-
advised enough to inaugurate leis imprison-
ment by strenuous resistance Mahe bidding
of his jailors; he was overpowered; as may
be sepposed, but his contumacy brought
punishment upon bliss, andleft Tom brooding
over the injustice of his guardians hi a way
that augured ill for his future.
• Tom had lain some time in prison await-
ing the Spring Aesizes at Scudborough be-
fore he was brought to trial; then came his
novitiate at Milbank, and thd Spring was in
all its glory when for 'the -first time he looked

Still time slipped by, and no further
outbreak occurred on Stone's part, when,
odd to relate, while at work he once more
picked up a pet. This time it was a young
bird who had evidently been hatched late
in the year, and now, either lost or deserted
by his parents, bade fair to perish in the
fast approaching winter. In the first in-
stance the warder gratuitously informed the
prisoner that this time ho would not be
allowea to keep his pet. "Not likely, in-
deed, after all the trouble you raised over
that mount'
"Then I will kill it," rejoined Stone, as
he shot a savage glance from his eyes at his
guardian, but for all that he concealed it
carefully in his bosom tor the present.
When the governor was told about it he
took some time to consider as to what he
had best do. He knew Stone's record, end
thought it a thousand pities that a fine
young fellow like him should not turn over
a new leaf and by good conduct obtain con -

the centre 4 inches in diameter. Take 1
yard of light blue satin and lay in narrow
plaits from the outer edge.to the centre, all
around the four sides. Of course you would
have to cut out an oval in the satin to corres-
pond with that in the board. Fasten the
outer edge of the plaits on the under side of
board and draw them over and through the
hole to the under side again and baste clown.
Then line it smoothly with a contrasting co-
lor of silk. Over the oval pet a small picture

bouquet of paper or artificial flowers, sew on
small rings -to hang it lip by and trim the
bottom with ornaments.
