 reasonable sum with sureties as the lower court judge may require, upon the
 following conditions: that the defendant will diligently prosecute the
 appeal, and will appear at the court appealed to and comply with any
 sentence of the superior court, and will, if the appeal is dismissed for
 any reason, comply with the sentence of the lower court.
     (c) Imposition of Sentence. If the appellant fails to provide security,
