MY
PRISONER
Bj JAMES BRAINARD
ft *
I was walking on a river bank when
1 bow a rowboat approaching. I was
coming from the penitentiary on the
other bank and half a mUe upstream.
Whoever was In U was pulling w for
dear Ufe. As aoon aa he came near
enough to me I recognised the strlpee
of a convict
I stood under overhanging tieea, and
ho could not eee me. He tan his boat
ashore Just below where I was and
without stopping to make faat Jumped
out and climbed the bank. There he
saw a wofiian within a few feet of him.
I shall never forget the agonised look
on his face, and on seeing me It
changed to despair.
"For Qod'a sake, help mel" he cried.
"I have Just escaped from over there,
and they'll be after me right away. I
was put In for a crime I never commit
ted. Either kill me or give me a chance
If you tell them which way I go irom
here they will overtake me and take
me back to what 1» worse than h*Q to
one reared as I was."
X looked up Into the dense foliage of
a tree above where we stood. He took
the hint and, giving a Jump, caugU a
lower limb, pulled himself up and dis
appeared among the topmoet braaebe*.
Meanwhile hla beat had floated down
with the current I saw another boat
shoot out from the penitentiary. It
came dashing along, scattering spray
with Its oars and making directly
for tho spot where 1 waa. Some one
must have s*en the convict land and
have marked the location. The boat's
occupants jumped ashore directly
where I stood. ^ , ..
Now. I wus not quite up to telling a
deliberate lie, but I was willing to look
one, especially for a poor fellow fleeing
from prison. Before the men had
climbed the bank I had turned and was
looking southward as If Intensely In
terest t'd In something. When they ap
peared behind me I turned toward
them. They asked me which way a
man In stripes had gone. I did not
reply. But I had Indicated the rocte
lie liad taken by dumb show, and they
set off In that direction. _ •
Soon after they had gone the man to
the tree called to me to ask If they
wore out of sight. When I told him
that they were he came down and,
taking my hand, covered It with kisses,
lie was too much moved to say a word.
"Go buck," I said, "and Veep to^hld
lng. I will get you some clothing."
He went back into the tree, and I
went home, caught up some of my
brother's old clothes and ran back with
them. The prisoner, descended and
took them in among some bushes, put
them on and. rolling hla striped suit
about a stone, threw it Into the river.
Then, seizing my hand, he looked •
world of gratitude, then went off in a
direction opposite the one his pursoera
had taken. , . . - ~
4 , A +H«a whtl» lflrfrtnff
c>ver a newspaper, I saw mention of
the arrest of an employe* of * back
for embezzlement of the bank's fundi.
The Item went on to say that the same
bank bad suffered lit the name way a
few years before. An employee had
been convicted of the crime and had
been sent to the penitentiary, but had
escaped and had not been found. The
person now arrested had confessed to
having committed both crimes.
I certainly had not forgotten the
young man In whose escape I bad as
sisted. Indeed, I had thought a great
deal about blm.
One afternoon I was sitting on the
I porch reading when a motorcar was
driven up to the door and a well
dressed young man alighted and caste
up on to the porch. I recognised htm
at once as my escaped prisoner. To
my surprise, he did not appear to recog
nize me. He looked at me as though
trying to discover If he had seen m«
before.
"Whom do you wish to see?" I asked
blm.
"A young lady who assisted a pris
oner to escape from the penitentiary."
"It does not seem that she made
much of an Impression on you."
"That was because I was so absorbed
in my flight. All my faculties were
riveted on making good my escape."
"I can understand that Well, I am
that girl you are looking for."
His manner changed at once. He
looked at me as though, to use a para
doxical expression, he was oblivious to
me. He was trying to remember the
girl to whom he owed so much.
"I have learned that you have been
vindicated," I said.
"Yes, thank God!"
"I confess I was much pleased when
I saw an account of It in a newspaper."
"My main object in life now la to
show my appreciation, my gratitude to
you for keeping me from being sent
back to prison. I owe you more than
I my life."
"I did not tell a lie for you."
"You acted what made me a free
man."
He took a seat near me and told me
his story. It was a lengthy one and
calculated to melt the stoniest heart
I don't know whether I was more mov
ed by his own sufferings or those of his
mother, whose health was broken down
by her son's misfortune. I listened
with keen ears for the mention of a
sweetheart, but If there was cue he did
not speak of her.
The rest of my story is by no means
extraordinary. My prisoner hsa since
become my prisoner for life. At least
j that is the way he puts It He waa re
j stored to his original position In the
bank, indemnified as far as possible
| for what he had aoffered and la now
