Madeiros reads, too, but he pre- fers magazines with action stories— tales of the west, stories of the sea. He has long since been resigned to his fate and the depressing atmo- sphere of the death house has seemingly had no effect upon his mind. Death house prisoners have one advantage over other men confined to the grim, grey building in the shadow of Bunker Hill. They may order almost anything in the way of food—choice viands that never are served elsewhere in the prison. Madelros has taken advantage of this privilege. He has ordered fruits and other dainties and has dined on them to his heart's content.
