Four prisoners were liberated this morning who had broken a street-lamp with the evident intention of being sent to this prison.
And with a cry, half of jubilation and half of nervous excitement, he caught up the now roughly-restored instrument and ran toward an iron gas street-lamp. In the roadway a short distance from the lamp-post lay the burned-off end of the telegraph wire. Placing the instrument on the sidewalk, Jack ran for the wire, and dragged it also to the post.

At a corner they passed a hard-faced girl with rouge-smeared lips and over- powdered cheeks, laughing on the arm of an American soldier, who had a sallow face and dull-green eyes that glittered in the slanting light of a street-lamp. "Hello, Stein," said Andrews. "Who's that?"
I'll get rich down there and some day I'll send for you? What's that?" He darted to the window, faintly outlined by a distant street-lamp. Three men were standing quietly outside the gate, and a fourth was already in the garden, silently moving toward the house. She felt Rudolph brush by her, and the trembling hand he laid on her arm.
