The headgear of her male companion had a little bow at the rear. His trousers had cuffs at the ankles and he had not shaved often enough to have acquired the whitish- gray complexion of a grown up man.

His expression was distinctly pitying as he watched the newcomers. The man was getting portly and, while the woman's hair was arranged in the latest mode, it was sprinkled with gray and she had a decided ma- tronly look. One could be certain that she had tucked all the children in bed castles for the future, all based on an honest life; but Doctor Ransom, the hospital physician, says the last stage has been reached and he may die any day.

There was no market there, and when he made his sketches he gave them freely to other prisoners. One of them, a picture in colors of the Vir- gin, was retained by the warden, who framed it and hung it in the prison chapel, It attracted the attention of Gov. jernor Dix on a visit to the prison shortly before the end of his term of office. When Warden Kaiser In- formed him that a prisoner had paint- . ed it the governor said he would like to see him. Dunn was brought for- ward. His disease had already marked him, “Did you paint that picture?” the governor asked. “I did,” Dunn repled, timidly. “You are too good & man to be In Jail,” the governor said, “and 1 will | see that you get out.” Other affairs must have driven the Incident from the governor's mind, for nothing came of it. Dunn began his present term of ten years In Dannemora in. November, 1911. For some time before that he had occupied a basement room in the Salvation Army employment agency in Thirteenth street ,west of Sixth avenue, where Envoy Thomas Ander- | son, who looks after discharged and paroled prisoners, had fitted him out with working material, Every night Anderson took the day’s collection of sketches and colors to meetings where he spoke, told the story of the prisoner who was trying to get on his feet and let the audience carry the work away, leaving for it whatever money they liked. Good re- turns were coming in dally by this means when, suddenly and without warning, Dunn failed to appear in his basement studio. On Anderson's reg- ular visit to the Tombs the next Fri- | day Dunn was there. “What was the matter?” the envoy asked, “I couldn't help it; I always told you I couldn’t help it Dunn an- swered. “Weren't you doing well, and didn’t we treat you nicely?” “Yes; I must be insane,” sald Dunn.
