STIMSON-CONOVER
By MARTHA V.
MONROE
Copyright. U10. by American Pre
. i : - Association.
One night a man was brought before
the sergeant at the desk In a police
court charged with burglary.
"nello, Stlmson," said the sergeant
"You turned up again? I haven't seen
you for so long that I thought you'd
reformed."
"I'm not Stimson," replied the man,
who was dressed la working costume,
"and I've never been here before."
"Take him in."
The next morning the case came up
before the court There had been a
burglary in Ben Warfleld's store War
field had entered bis place of business
with a light and cornered a man rob
bing his cash drawer. The robber
knocked him down and ran. The store
keeper got up, followed, called a police
man, and together they made chase.
Warfleld in court testified that while in
pursuit of the fugitive be bad turned
and walked toward them. Undoubted
ly knowing he would be captured, he
hoped to go by them unrecognized. Dut
Warfleld had got a good look at blm
in his store by the light he carried and
knew him at once. The rest of the
evidence against the prisoner was fur
nished by a picture in the rogues' gal
lery which, though It was not a flat
tering likeness, was near enough like
convict mm. , . '.
The prisoner claimed that he was
John Conorer, a workman in a foun
dry. His employer's superintendent
him (.uiivu iii lug .uiuu uim ieauueu
that the man. under the name of Con
over, had gone to work for the concern
a week before, claiming that he bad
not been employed, for some months, i
Thnt was all the witness knew about
Wm.: ' . ,
' Being an bid offender. Stlmson was
sent to the penitentiary for seven
years. Before he started bis wife came
to see him. acting hysterically and de
claring thnt she and her children were
starving. This only confirmed the ver
dict, though it excited sympathy. No
one ever heard of Stlmson having had
a wife and family. ' But the case was
decided, and there is too much work
before the courts except in the cases of
those who have money to pay lawyers
and costs for a little matter like that
to attract even attention. '
One night three years later a man
was brought Into the same sergeant as
had received Stlmson, whereupon the
sergeant, who was a facetious man.
said:
"Hello, Stlmson! You here again t 1
haven't seen you for so long that I
thought you'd reformed."
"I'm not Stimson. My name's Con
orer." "Well. I like that I'd know that
mug of yours among a thousand.
We've got you In the gallery. But
what did you say about being"
"Conover?" .
"Yes Conover. It seems to me the
name's familiar. Now I remember all
about It. The last time you came In
here you tried the racket of mistaken
Identity;' said your name was Conover.
But hold on. You were sent up for
seven years. You couldn't get out this
early on good behavior. When did you
break Jail?" ' v .
"Sergeant,", said the prisoner, chang
ing his tone, . "I was cllngin' to a
straw, and that remarkable memory of
yours has broke it. Three years ago
you sent up an innocent man who look
ed like me, and this time I was think
In' I might possibly get off by clalmln'
to be him. But It won't work."
The sergeant looked at the man,
greatly puzzled. '
"Did you do the burglary Conover
was sent up for?" he asked.
: "Yes, I done it. They chased me,
and all of a sudden I heered 'em stop.
The uext day 1 sor In the crlm news in
the paper that a bloke as looked like
me was took. He's doln' my time now.
If you wasn't on to it I'd 'a' tried to
prove I was htm. No credit to the way
you cops work things that I didn't
Your memory floored me." .
The real Stimson went up, and in
Hn-o the real Couover came down. One
nl"ht ht walked Into the station and
stood In-fore the sergeant. He was not
recognized. Maddeued by his Impris
onment for an offense he had not com
' milted, deprived of the power to work
for his wife and children, he had at
tempted to escape, was caught and had
boon Ireated with unusual, severity.
Xo wonder the serceant didn't know
hira. He had nged in appearance twen-
vears.
"Who ure you?" asked the sergeant.
"John Conover!"
Used as he was to the hard side of
life, the serpen nt started.
"Are you sure I'm not Stlmson?"
"I had nothing to do with your case;
the court did it. You were unfortunate
in looking like a jailbird."
"I came to say that while I've been
in Jail my two little ones have died for
want of proper attention. My wife
till lives. If this were not so you
would go after my children." ,
The man walked out, and the wr
geant wIjhhI the sweat front his brow
with h'.s eoat m.7s IK Un?w 'by' Con
over's icol; t'rt n-j'- :i ',! stood !-
twees blm and deatn.
The next day Conover walked into
Warfleld's store. Warfleld, bearing a
footstep behind him, turned. lie bad
heard of his mistake mnd was brood
ing upon It at the time; otherwise be
would not. have known thla host of
Conover.
A. few minutes later a clerk found
Warfleld on the floor in a fit No one
wu with him. and he never told who
had been with blm. ' ; -
The Musio Was Fatal.
A New York politician once found it
necessary to attend an entertainment
at an orphans' home and he was hav
ing a bad time of It The selection
by the boys band was particularly
distressing. Turning to a friend the
politician said with shudder, "No
wonder they are orphans." Success
