Since
you
are
so
sure
of
it
,
why
do
n't
you
accept
my
proposition
?
"
I
challenged
.
The
Warden
was
so
angry
that
it
would
have
been
ludicrous
to
me
had
I
not
been
in
so
desperate
plight
.
His
face
was
convulsed
.
He
clenched
his
hands
,
and
,
for
a
moment
,
it
seemed
that
he
was
about
to
fall
upon
me
and
give
me
a
beating
.
Then
,
with
an
effort
,
he
controlled
himself
.
"
All
right
,
Standing
,
"
he
snarled
.
"
I
'll
go
you
.
But
you
bet
your
sweet
life
you
'll
have
to
go
some
to
smile
ten
days
from
now
.
Roll
him
over
,
boys
,
and
cinch
him
till
you
hear
his
ribs
crack
.
Hutchins
,
show
him
you
know
how
to
do
it
.
"
And
they
rolled
me
over
and
laced
me
as
I
had
never
been
laced
before
.
The
head
trusty
certainly
demonstrated
his
ability
.
I
tried
to
steal
what
little
space
I
could
.
Little
it
was
,
for
I
had
long
since
shed
my
flesh
,
while
my
muscles
were
attenuated
to
mere
strings
.
I
had
neither
the
strength
nor
bulk
to
steal
more
than
a
little
,
and
the
little
I
stole
I
swear
I
managed
by
sheer
expansion
at
the
joints
of
the
bones
of
my
frame
.
And
of
this
little
I
was
robbed
by
Hutchins
,
who
,
in
the
old
days
before
he
was
made
head
trusty
,
had
learned
all
the
tricks
of
the
jacket
from
the
inside
of
the
jacket
.
You
see
,
Hutchins
was
a
cur
at
heart
,
or
a
creature
who
had
once
been
a
man
,
but
who
had
been
broken
on
the
wheel
.
He
possessed
ten
or
twelve
thousand
dollars
,
and
his
freedom
was
in
sight
if
he
obeyed
orders
.
Later
,
I
learned
that
there
was
a
girl
who
had
remained
true
to
him
,
and
who
was
even
then
waiting
for
him
.
The
woman
factor
explains
many
things
of
men
.
If
ever
a
man
deliberately
committed
murder
,
Al
Hutchins
did
that
morning
in
solitary
at
the
Warden
's
bidding
.
He
robbed
me
of
the
little
space
I
stole
.
And
,
having
robbed
me
of
that
,
my
body
was
defenceless
,
and
,
with
his
foot
in
my
back
while
he
drew
the
lacing
light
,
he
constricted
me
as
no
man
had
ever
before
succeeded
in
doing
.
So
severe
was
this
constriction
of
my
frail
frame
upon
my
vital
organs
that
I
felt
,
there
and
then
,
immediately
,
that
death
was
upon
me
.
And
still
the
miracle
of
faith
was
mine
.
I
did
not
believe
that
I
was
going
to
die
.
I
knew
--
I
say
I
knew
--
that
I
was
not
going
to
die
.
My
head
was
swimming
,
and
my
heart
was
pounding
from
my
toenails
to
the
hair-roots
in
my
scalp
.
"
That
's
pretty
tight
,
"
Captain
Jamie
urged
reluctantly
.
"
The
hell
it
is
,
"
said
Doctor
Jackson
.
"
I
tell
you
nothing
can
hurt
him
.
He
's
a
wooz
.
He
ought
to
have
been
dead
long
ago
.
"
Warden
Atherton
,
after
a
hard
struggle
,
managed
to
insert
his
forefinger
between
the
lacing
and
my
back
.
He
brought
his
foot
to
bear
upon
me
,
with
the
weight
of
his
body
added
to
his
foot
,
and
pulled
,
but
failed
to
get
any
fraction
of
an
inch
of
slack
.
