That night Colonel Peyton. did a
5
rather unusual' thing. Ile called at
the room; of Father Creed, the Ro-
elan Catholic chaplain;
Creed knew that something was. up,
but was too wise to ask questions, and
the two men sat and smoked in silence.
Suddenly the colonel spoke.
"Know anything about that chap
Harrigan, Creed?"
"He doesn't talk much," iteplied
Creed. "A quiet, decent sort of man.
The warders like him.
"They like him too well!" growled
the colonel. "I eau,ght him traffick-
ing to -day, or trying, to," '
Father Creed waited in silence while
the governor told the story.
Quite interesting," he said briefly.
"To my mind, there's some connection:,
between his refusal to tell to whom;:
he was writing and his anxiety tc get:!
out. in July."
"You think so?" replied the other.
"Try to find out, Creed, will you? I've
had that man on my +aind all day."
Creed nodded, and the colonel togjt
his leave,
Next morning the chaplain paid a
,visit to the puni:hmeut cel. He used
all his powers of persuasion, and they
were not small, but without any result
whatever. •
"Sure, 'I rani tel: ye, sorr," Harri-
gan kept repeating miserably, and at
last the kindly chaplain went away,
with knitted brows and a feeling of
son:ibe-1g like dee air. It went to
L's leant to ren 1h' poor little man

ed no way 0+ 1'c'c.ii hint.
Father Creed ':r; hair" way to the
gate when he pulled up short, made a
quit~: turn, and hurried back in the
dirt:tion of B Hall. The warder -in-
_ the::gelet him through the steel gate,
' end he went straight up the bare stone
stairs.
All unoccupied cells are left wide
open, and ..he ehaplain passed straight
into No. 77.
It vas exquisitely clean. for Harri-
gan had long ago learnt the prison +i
lesson of tidiness. Father Creed stood,
for a moment, glancing round, then l d
took n step fcrwerd and peeked up the i I
slate frim the little flap -table where i T
it lay. •
The upper side was clean. He turned
it over quickly. and a quick look of
disappo.ntment clouded his face. True,
there was writing, bat it , had been
smudged over apparently with a coat -
sleeve, and at first it seemed to be all
a "blurr.
The ehalilain took: it stress to the
small, high window, and holding it
so that the light fell full upon it, set
to studying it carefully.
Whole words were missing, others
wei'.e so smudged that they were al-
most illegible; but the pencil, for-
tunately, had had a hard point, and 1
y
the marks were scored 'deep, so'that
at hast he begeit to make some sense
of it. .
After fully ten minutes' study, he
sat down at the table, toek.a small
notebook from his pocket, and •rade.
a fain copy of the half -erased 'scrawl:
Sometimes he had to guess at a word,
sometimes to Ieave'one out altogether,
but in the end he succeeded in making
some sense of Harrigan's effusion,
He carefully cleaned the slate be-
fore
e -fore. laying it aside, then, slipping the
notebook into his pocket, he left the
cell and the hall, and made his way
straight to the governor's office.
Colonel Peyton, who was alone,.
glanced up, with a quick question in
his frosty blue eyes.
"Well, Creed," he said, "did you get
any good out of hint?"
"I did not, colonel," answered the
priest. "Speak, the little man would
not; but for all that, I have put the
puzzle -pieces together and solved
them. And it's right I was, colonel,"
he adder. "The two things hang to-
gether—Harrigan's refusal to tell you
to whom he was writing and his anx-
iety ..to get away in July." \
"I. don't like mysteries," replied the
governor, frowning. "Explain."
"Wait then, and I'll read you what
I found on Harrigan's slate. .'Tis the
letter the little mail wanted Cart-
wright to post for him."
The colonel pricked up his ears.
"By all means, let's ~Tear it, Creed."
Father Creed took out his notebook
and . pened it.
'Dear mother,' he read. "Tis lit-
tle time I have to write to you, for I
do be So busy on this grand, great
farm. But I'm doing well, and I've`
nigh worked off my debt, and the
masther says he'll be afther paying
my ticket home to ye next July. So,
praise the saints, I'll be seeing ye
again afther all these weary years!
Hard years' they've been to ye, mother 0

not be Ieaving ye again while ye live.

he saints kape you. And so no more
from your loving son, Lanty.' "
Father Creed's voice was not as
steady as it might have been as he
finished this curious effusion. '. The
governor stared at him a moment in
silence. r'
* "So that's. it, is it?" he said at
length.
"That's it, -colonel. He has been
keeping his address from the old lady
all these years, and, upon my word, I
think you'll have to allow him to do
so."
The governor grunted.
"What, Creed! You back the man
n a pack of. lies?"
"I do," said the chaplain stoutly.
"Then I suppose I shall have to help
you out," said the other, with a short m
laugh. "Yes, I'll give you a free hand.
