children and friends ! i'he poor man wept aloud in the ex tremity of his anguish ii is trembling lips could fiame no prayer and thus the last avenue of escape was closed against him the most direct and unequivocal : evidences surrounded this man lloyd fletcher by name and the jury in bring ing in their verdtct of " gmlty in the first degree had ouly acted on their sober conviction ofthe man's guilt drawn from the overwhelming evidence charles lancaster an englishman and a neighbor of fletcher's had been found brutally murdered iu a lone spot in the suburbs of london fletcher's pistol was picki d up near him thrown aside as he found himself pursued footprints iu the mud corresponding exactly with the boots the prisoner wore and to crown all they had been bitter and inveterate enemies for mouths previ ous fletcher had been heard to say on several occasions that nothing but the man's death could sat ity his implacable revenge ; and then again he could produce no one to assist him iu prov ing an alibi lloyd was a man very do mestic in his habits and \ ery devoted ly attached to his family he was known to be absent from home iu the evening yet on this particular night mrs fletcher wailed up until daylight for his return expecting every moment on account of of the circumstance being so unpreceden ted to have him brought home a cm pse he seemed to be recovering from a deep stupor of intoxicatiou as he entered his wife's presence on the morning described and only knew enough to hud the bed and sleep profoundly at the time of his arrest his hands were found lame and bruised ; so this with the rest made the sum too crushing lor the skillful counsel he had employed and the result was hanged by the neck fletcher till you are dead ; aud god have mercy on your soul ii lacked now only three days to the execution and here he sat in his lone < omiortless whitewashed ceil aud his in-ad bowed iu ins hands can nothing tie done ? must t die lhus poor infera ble dog that i am ? oh g"d where art 1 liuit ? will omnipotence allow an inno ! cent nan in perish .<* out upon such a god as that !' and the pool fellow struck wildly at his prison house groaning so deeply that he aroused the attention of the turnkey who was passing the cell — the iron door swung back on its creaking hinge and tbe stalwart folia of lhe keeper appeared before him come come fletcher less noise here he a man ! you ain't the first man that had to swing — not by a long t-hot ! yon won't get much sympathy here it you are like a nursing infant i can tell you uie game fletcher die game ' but i am innocent i tell you old wretch as innocent of the crime as my little girl baby at home oh my god ! my wife — my children — ' oh shut up ! here's your old woman now the hardened turnkey waited a mo ment to witness the meeting of the suffer ing couple and then with maddened curs es withdrew but the condemned man j and his loving faithful wife took no no tice of his departure but clasped in each other's arms awaiting for caltnnes to speak ' oh sarah !* ' oh lloyd ! god have mercy en us all my husband ! and now listen lie down here — place your head on my lap ; 1 have something to tell you ' tell me sarah did they search you this time he asked grasping her hands 4 yes lloyd and they found nothing i repented my rash promises to you be fore i reached home come what may suicide must not be yonr fate but listen you see tint i am comparatively happy ; and let me tell what has produced this change a sweet little dream in which i saw you and our darlings all together comfortable and happy ' oh sarah talk not of dreams to a doomed man like me ; perhaps we may be happy in another existence ; hut no that cannot be — for surely god will not allow an innocent roan the death of the guilty oh no sarah — oh no !' keep up your courage my dear hus band ; a certain strange mysterious some thing assures me that all will yet be well how or in what manner heaven only knows ' i wish i could see it — i wish i could feel it sarah ; do not mislead me with i false hopes oh my god ; if there could only be found i way to escape from this ignominious deaih !' come madam time's up and the turnkey made his appearance ' hate to disturb such a pair of cooing doves but orders an orders ma'am and must be obeyed always obey orders if you break , crowns you ought to persuade your ' husband to quit his sniveling : sarah wiih a gesture of scorn and im i patience prepared to leave , ' mark what i lell you ma'am you'll ' be looking for another husband iu three mouths time continued the wretch as he walked out by her side sarah hurried through the corridor en deavoring to hear as little as possible ot i the brute's conversation and reached her home and children there to hope and pray the hours sped on and it lacked one day more for the execution fletch er had given up all hopes of a reprieve and listened to building of the scaffold with a solemn feeling born of despair ' i've brought another gal to see you this lime fletcher it's very probable i she won't be so agreeable like as t'other one but will do as much good i reckon j a woman in blaek stood before the bed i oa which flecthcr reclined he recoj uiz ed mrs lancaster the wife ofthe murdered man ' ah this does me good said she tak ing a step nearer and shaking her clenched fist in his lace ' il don't pay to take a lellow creature's life does it ? don't you speak to me you villain don't dare to open your mouth i came here to gloat over your misery and see how the pros pect of leaving your wife and babies af fected you oh you tremble ! i have found the tender cord my husband's w'fe aud children were nothing oh no ! — wretch villain may the law be fully justified the woman to all app e exas perated beyond the powi further ut terance stepped a little nearer mid with a sly movement hid one • ; hi r gloves tinder the pillow of the btgvitdered man il.tveyou finished ma •,' inquired the turnkey with his hand on the door ' now really fletcher don't you rath er pre fer an interview of this kind to one of those lally-gagging sort you have bad so many of lately 1 twill do yon more good — ten to one what are you doing now ?' * giving him one more look that is all murderer robber wretch ! want to engrave his picture on my brain eo indel libly that i never can forget a single fea ture ' by the crown your old man must have had a tartar ! oh ho ho !' and fat turnkey shook his fatsides wiih laugh ter * i don't believe he's got it much hotter where he's staying now than he had it wiih you it takes a woman to use up the king's english i always said so now 1 know it mrs lancaster drew her veil over her face and quietly left the prison as soon as be dared w itu trembling fingers lloyd drew forth the glove in it was a vial containing a mixture of chloroform a small sharp instrument to file his shack les and a note it read thus : you are not the man and i cannot al low you to be hung overpower the keeper take his clothes and leave go to the old rookery no — first door where a disguise awaits you and then god help you for you nr si conceal your-elf lloyd with a wildly beating bean con cealed the ai tides and tried to think — the keeper did uot enter the cell lill be brought his tea and how could he ac complish bis purpose then there would be too many astir in the prison tbcu and be might be detected defeated now with the weapons of deliverance in my hands no indeed lloyd fletcher fletcher i supp.ise you know that according to the prison rules you are not allowed to stay alone to-night it would be barbarous to leave a feller without company his last night on earth said the turnkey an hour or two after mrs lancaster's visit you'll have to take your pick between old father walsh and myself but i sup pose you will take me bud as you hate me afore that hypocrite why can't i have my wile asked lloyd with a voice full of bitterness oh wives ain't allowable on such oc casions she'll be round in the morning an hour or two ; but talk quick — wnicb will you have v what difference do yon think it makes to me you heartless wretch wbo watch es with my last moments ou earth when my only friend is denied me so it was arranged the turnkey was to occupy his cell and lloyd went to work with bis little instrument i file the handcuffs and chain which b him — it was slow and tedious but ■ bom's time had the satisfaction to f're me baud and had the pow.r to remove nis limbs from the galling rattling torui its which had so firmly held hitn t must be able to throw these fetters off or i am lost so he worked away industriously until the obstinate link was placed and he could wear or leave ibem off at his pleasure ten o'clock arrived and the turnkey had his cot broughl in the cell when are you going to turn in fletch er i'm as tired us an east india nigger plaguy afraid 1 shan't be much company to-night better bad the priest you wrote all your le.ters yesterday fletcher didn't you and tbe keeper yawned deeply turned over once or twice and in five minutes was snoring profoundly now is my time thought fletcher tt won't do to wait heaven help me noiselessly he stepped from the chains and drew off the torturing handcuffs it was but the work of a moment to saturate tbe handerchief wiih the mixture and in less time than it takes to tell it lloyd had stripped the hardened wretch there was a trifling difference iu their heigh but lloyd lacked the aldermanic propor tions of tbe jailor however be managed that quickly and easily unlocked the door ol tbe cell stepped into the corridor locked it again carefully withdrew the key and imitated as nearly as possible the dull heavy tread of the keeper the jail physician was just leaving the build ing and lloyd walked along after him as if to see bin safely out only one subordinate guarded the entrance and so lloyd and the doctor walked out together without exciting the slightest suspicion lie reached the obi rookery donned his attire which proved to be a soldier's uniform removed the black wig of the keeper and substituted a light curly one and before twelve o'clock had reached he bouse of a friend two or three miles from the city told his story and was waim ly received and promised protection — lloyd felt sure he had left no clue bv which he could be traced to this spot and almost overcome by his great happiness be fell on his knees aud thanked the god he had previously foresworn for his mi raculous escape the next morning all wag astir early in the prison but our turnkey did uot make his appearance what oould it meau ? a key was produced to open the cell door and the nude inanimate figuie ofthe fat keeper was presented to their astonished view in tiie middle of the cell was the prisoner's wardrobe ; all he could spare from the make up of the turnkey lusty proportions a little cold water and fresh air revived him but lie could throw no light on the mysterious disappearance of fletcher he had seen iioihing knew nothing aud remembered nothing mrs fletcher was arresu-d on suspicion of as sisting her husband to escape hut noth ing could be proven and a ? w days saw her at liberty bhe was c 7 lent that her da . - is safe i il c uld form uo ii.e i o e n o le or wm re he was con cealed jver i iw thai so much was gahed she i_lt thai ru could afford to wait for the rest i-arge rewards were offered for the posters weie placarded everywhere and the detectives were set to work to ferret out his hiding place but iu vain w lieu the excitement was at its height the antiniortem statement snd con fession ofa dying man were brought be fore the court entirely exonerating lloyd fletcher from complicity in the murder the man was mrs lancaster's foster brother he had drugged and beaten poor fletcher the night of the despera tion of the crime stolen his pistol and committed the died himself mrs lan caster had been from the first exceedirgly suspicious of him but proofs were not in her power he had used every means possible to restore lloyd his liberty trusting to time and a merciful god for the rest how well she acted her part and succeeded in her endeavors the read er is aware
