DRAMATIC.
villain, seated in his cell, broods over the probable consequence of his crime.
The prison guard enters and, leading him out, he is next arraigned before a court martial and tried for his crime. The ceremonies and surroundings of a military trial have been carefullyfollowed, and an accurate reproduction of a scene seldom open to civilian observation depicted. The evidence is carefully gone over and considered, the testimony of the young lady is taken and, after grave deliberation, the court unanimously reaches a verdict of guilty and imposes the penalty of solitary confinement in the Yuma prison for life. The unfortunate man pleads wildly for a mitigation of his sentence, but without avail, and being led away is once more seen seated in his cell in dreary solitude. But "hope springs eternal in the human breast"; and the condemned man has procured a file, with which he is slowly filing his shackles apart, and when the turnkey enters his cell he strikes him down, and while he lies unconscious strips him of his clothes and, securing his keys, gains the wall, which he scales and finds himself once more a free man, but alone in the sandy and desolate waste of the desert.
Impelled by fear of recapture, he makes his way across the desert, hoping for some place, however humble, at which he can obtain rest and refreshment, but finding none. Water! water! is his cry, but none can he find, and sinks exhausted to the ground. What does he see? A green spot, an oasis, towards which he crawls painfully, for he can stand no longer, and to his unutterable joy finds a small supply of brackish water, enough to prolong his life for a few hours, and, slightly refreshed, he rises once more to his feet and staggers on.
But the hand of God is upon him and the murder of the young lieutenant will be avenged. Still seeking vainly for water, but this time unsuccessfully, and at last, exhausted, nature succumbs and the poor fellow falls exhausted to the ground to rise no more, and once again the tragedy of the desert is repeated and the erring man passes away to a mightier court than the military one before which he recently stood.
