The Burglar’s Fate And The Detectives

CHAPTER XXVI
5/72

Eugene Pearson, the dapper young gentleman, was put at hard labor in the stone-cutting department; Johnson, the dentist, was assigned to the machine shop, while Edwards and Duncan were working in the shoe-making department.
Day after day the weary labor was performed, and night after night the gloom of the prison cell enshrouds them.

Weeks will roll into months and the months will stretch into weary years, ere they will breathe the sweet air of liberty again.

Within the frowning walls of the prison, they are paying the heavy penalty for their crime, and here we must leave them, in the earnest and sincere hope that true repentance may come to them, and that when their term of servitude is ended, they may come forth, filled with resolves to live down the stain upon their characters, and by upright and honorable lives to redeem and obliterate the dark and painful past.

That "judgment overcometh crime," has been fully proven in the lives of these men, and trusting in the future to redeem the past, we leave them to the burdens and the solitude to which they have brought themselves.
THE END.
