CHAPTER XIV.
SANDERS TELLS HIS STORY.
JULIAN’S visitor was the man Sanders. He recognized him by the handkerchief that was tied over his head. If he had come there to release him would it not be sufficient proof that he was really the friend he professed to be?
“Julian!” exclaimed the man, in a low but excited tone of voice.
“I am here!” replied the prisoner, so overjoyed that he could scarcely speak plainly.
“Wal, come out o’ that. You needn’t stay thar no longer.”
“I can’t go up there—I am tied.”
“Are you? Then I’ll soon be down to turn you loose.”
