On the wall hung a pair of overalls and a working-man's heavy coat.

These and Hodges' hat he quickly put on in place of his own uniform.

Once more he went out into the night.
This time he came up back of the prison.

The guard was pacing back and forth in his beaten path, so thickly muffled about the ears that he did not hear Philip's cautious footsteps behind him.

When he turned he found the muzzle of a revolver within arm's length of his face.
"Hands up!" commanded Philip.
The astonished man obeyed without a word.
"If you make a move or the slightest sound I'll kill you!" continued Philip threateningly.
