Old Call 1 Van Webber lived just long
enough to put Lis name to the bottom of
-the great sheet of parchment that made
young Carl a poor man, and enriched his un
kriown grand-niece, and then passed away,
his w rath quite nnappoased, his dying hand
withheld from that of his nephew.
The lawyer, know ing the story', thought
Carl an idiot. Hi might, at least, have
forborne to contradict his nncle.
The funeral was over. All was done
that could be done to show respect to the
old man's memory. Carl, who had only
fifty dollars in the world,, bestirred him
self to' find a book-keeper's place, and in a
little while fouud one. The salary was
small, but on consideration he decided that
it was enough for two; and one evening,
walking with Lettv West in the moonlit
park, he i told her so. "I hoped to be a
rich man w hen I first knew an,d loved you,
Lettv," lie said; "and perhaps I am not
right to ask you to share a poor man's lot.
If vou dread it, .say so, Letty." .
lint the- little hands were clasped over
his arm most closely, and in" a few mo
merits Carl knew that Letty dreaded noth
ing, if he but loved her well.
The two were married, and, when Carl

'It is a good many j'ears back. The
prison was new, and the management was
not what it is now, of course. Somebody
was escaping every week or so, and it was
easy enough to smuggle in money and tools,
and cook up conspiracies. There were a
hundred and seventy-nine of us, and the
wickedest man in prison w'as a horse thief
and liihway robber, named lien Mason.
He was in for fifteen years, I believe, and,
feeling desperate-like, he was ngly as-Satan.
They hajd him in the kitchen as cook,
and in those days the prisoners had little
or no work, and were locked up most of the
time. Ben hadn t been m the puson more
than a hundred days before he worked up
one of the ugliest conspiracies you ever
leard of. He was to head a rebellion, and
we were to murder every prison official,
arm as well as we could, and then march
down and plunder and burn the town."
T he old man paused a moment as the
door opened, and then continued: .
"All the details of the plan were soon
communicated to every convict, and every
single man was agreed. . Ben made a key,
or tw o or three of them, by which he could
unlock all 4 the cells. Only two guards
were on duty in the corridor at night; and
thev were at one end. Thev were change
ed at one o clock at niffht, and it often
happened at this that the new guards were
ten or fifteen minutes in frettinr in, thus
leaving an interval to bo taken advantage
of. Well, the programme was for Ben
Mason to unlock his cell door just before
one o clock. lie conld easily do that from
the inside with the old locks then in use.
As the old guard passed out he was to 11 v
