Replying Re-plying in t 'ie .neg.irive, he wag told that a convict had escaped from the penitentiary in Auburn. He again started out into the almost impenetrate impene-trate earkness and had progressed a couple of miles when suddenly from the side of the road darted an unshaven, un-shaven, l'o'tgh.ly clothed man, waving his arms frantically and shouting at j the Petroiter. The motorist did what j almost anyone else would have done, j He "stopped on it" and shot by the j stranger. "And I've been wondering ever since v.hn he was and what he : wanted," he concluded, in telling the story. "1 aimost wish I had taken a chance and stopped." Detroit News. |
