He had al- ready been there a year, and had two more to serve. He never could outlive the sentence in- flicted. He felt it.

He resigned himself to his Site ^-never expecting to get out of prison, or Bee his parents agiun. Upon inquiring of the two young convicts wbooanje with him on the same charge, I learned that the story was true, and that his only crime was keeping bad company, leaving home, and unknowingly receiving stolen goods. Questioned separately, all told the same story, and left no doubt in my mind of the boy's, in- nocence. Full of compassion for the unfortunate little fellow, I sat down and Wrote a full description of Artbnr^is condition aed bis history, as I obtained it from him, painting the horrors of the plaee, the hopelessness of his \being reform- ed there—even if guilty—and the possibility of his not living out his sentence, describing tbe process to be Used to gain his *pardon.— This I sent according to the direction of. the advertissmeai,.
