I 'The Times' Daily Short Story. I Out of Dartmoor i , , Copyright, 15KB, by Ruby Dougl&s. Convict No. fiSOO, whot?e uame was James Sbellinyne, was working on the moor farm with others when the fog came up. It came rolling across the , wide moor like a billow of smoke lrora a cannon's mouth. One minute there was sunshine over all, with the horizon live miles away; in another the guards were calling out to each other nnd hustling the convicts into liue, and no man's eyes could penetrate that fog a distanoo of ten feet. Sbelburne drop ped his spade and ran. He wn grab bed at by oilier convicts, fired at by guards, and he ran against and knock d over two or three men, but he es capedthat is, he got away from the buu-h of prisoners herded together like to many cattle while the guards sent to the prison for re-euforcemcnts to march them in. There have been few escapes from Dartmoor. No man ever got away from there unless aided by the fog. A fog was what James Suelburne had waited and hoped and prayed for for five years. For four years he had been Immured behind the stone wajls. He had doue his best to gain the confi dence of the prison officials, and be had accomplished it. If he softly raved and cursed at night, tempted to suicide hundred times over, none of the warders suspected it By day be was patient, respectful and uncomplaining. And so it came to pass that when toe spring muster roll w,s made up of the men who were to work on the farpis outside the gates the warden said: "Put down 6800. He la one of the most trusty of the lot. He wouldn't leave us if he could." The convict ran blindly. He fell at iiivery few yards, but Ue arose to speed n again. -Presently be came to a bigh- . way. A wagon was passing and Its driver shouting warnings to those who might be coming from the opposite di rection. Bbelburne slipped behind and climb ed in. There were a lot of empty bags from the morning marketing, and he covered himself up as well as he could. The prison bell sounded, and the driv er uttered a shout, but the fog held. A Dartmoor fog may last ten minutes er two hours. After an hour of steady jogging the team turned off the main road. Then Shelbume softly slipped to the ground, broke his way through the hedge and was running across a , meadow when he came upon a cot tage. A childish voice called out: , "You are one of the bad men from the prison, but you needn't be afraid 'of me. I won't hurt you." . A girl of seven or eight years was neated on the doorstep not ten feet away. He had overlooked her. She sat humped up like an old woman, and there was an okl look to her face. She had her hands clasped around her knees AMild axatme W bin d tbeformuiaofn!l our prTratlong Alor.e.
