It was not Jim Wilson's fault that
he -was born with a game leg. lfut
it was Jim's fault that the game leg
proved his undoing. Reared in all the
luxury of southern affluence before
the war, he had squandered first his in
heritance, then a competence earned
by shrewd speculation, and, finally, a
snug ten thousand dollars wrung
from Its rightful owners by a series
of tricks that form in themselves a
story of human perversity, but are
without Importance in this account
These tricks were the third degree in
his career, however, for they landed
him behind the bars; and when "Lim
py" Wilson returned to his old haunts
he fell to the lowest plane. He de
veloped Into a first-class sneak thief,
expert in "lifting" costly wraps and
furs from unoccupied carriages, from
theatre boxes and hotel parlors. How
he accomplished these slick abstrac
tions was more than the average in
dividual could understand. It was his
beautiful assurance, his unobtrusive
-approach and departure, his suavity
and grace ,that made him for a time
the foremost exponent of his art. But
he went down hill steadily, and when
New York became too hot, Chicago,
wealthy and wide open, welcomed him
to the ranks of the pickpocket . and
the purse snatcher.
Jim had two passions: first, his un
controllable mania for theft; second,
and dominating much of his life, lit
tle Alice, daughter by his second wife,
who kept for him the" tiny apartment

Earn
JIM LEAPED TO. HIS FEET
on the West Side, In the very heart of
the Polish quarter. During her ten
years of life Alice had never wavered
In absolute adoration of her father,
and Jim returned her affection to the
limit of his nature.
They say that criminals are born,
not made. It Is a true saying, in Jim's
case, at least As a boy he was in no
way abnormal, adhering in all re
spects to the proud traditions of his
stiff-necked father, who owned broad
acres in Mississippi and ruled his hun
dreds of well-kept slaves with firm
generosity. There was no mother. She
died during Jim's Infancy. But at fif
teen came a sudden passion for money.
His monthly allowance was too Blen
der for his expensive tastes. He must
have more. He thought about it night
and day. And then cropped out a
strain of low cunning that had shown
at intervals In his paternal ancestry
for generations uncounted. He formed
his plans elaborately, and one night
during his father's absence he entered
the library, broke open the little iron
safe, and decamped with upwards of
a thousand dollars in cash.
Ten years later Jim returned to the
plantation. Here he found strangers,
from the North, to whom hi- father
had sold the family home. To his
credit be it said that he wept over the
old man's grave, and again when the
County Judge turned over to him, in
securities and cash, all his father's
property, for there was no will and
Jim was the only heir. He had left
. home a boy; he returned a man, ex
perienced in the ways of the sea and
in the paths of crime. But his suddenly-acquired
wealth, his recollec
tions of his father, and contact with
old and forgiving friends, seemed to
wipe out the past He threw aside his
degenerate habits. He became a gen
tleman, and took up his abode in the
city of New York.
It Is a far cry from the plantation
to Chicago, and the little room in the
Polish quarter. Thirty years lay be
tweenthree decades of steady degra
dation. Venr bitter were Jim's recol
lections this December night, as he
limped along State street beneath the
glare of the electric lights , eyeing
eharply every carriage waiting by the
curb. A raw wind blew In from the
lake. His hands were numb. His
whole body ached with the cold. His
game leg, which had been doctored
during his term in Sing Sing, was be
ginning to bother him again. It had
a way of stiffening in the hip Joint,
so that his toe dragged a little at
every step.
And as though the situation were
not sad enough already, fate threw
another burden on his shoulders. He
bad made a promise to little Alice,
and It must be kept regardless of
consequences or effort. She had slip
ped Into his bed early that morning
1 j ,lloJ iJonin beside him. "Pa-
pa," she said, "do yon know what day
to-morrow win ber
"Not Sunday, surely," replied.
He could attach no special Importance
to any day In the week but Sunday,
when they always went for a walk on
the Lake Shore.
"Why no, I'apa, it's the Oth day of
December my birthday. Don't you
remember?"
She wanted a turkey dinner, and be
fore he left the house she had planned
a royal spread, with cranberries, and
celery, mashed potatoes and gravy,
and a pie for dessert. Old Mrs. Jans
chowski, the Polish widow, of whom
they rented their two little rooms, had
offered to prepare the dinner on her
big stove. All. Jim had to do was to
bring home the turkey and the trim
mings. He promised solemnly,
though he had not a cent In his pock
ets. And Alice had hugged him In de
light, saying, "You are my very dear
est bestest papa."
Jim stopped at a, corner and looked
up and down the -street wondering
how he might raise the price of that
turkey. -A soft-footed policeman ap
proached. An oaken night stick prod
ded him in the back. "Move on. Get
to cover," said a gruff voice. He
started In sudden fear and slouched
into the darkness of a nearby alley. It
was the same old story. For weeks
luck had been against him. It seemed
as though-the whole police force of
that great city had suddenly opened
its eyes to his existence. Wherever
he went there appeared the brass but
tons, the badge ,the club. It was get
ting on his nerves, and he feared to
attempt schemes that a few years ago
'! V K
WITH STARING EYES.
would have been easy of accomplish
ment. He came out on the next street, di
rectly opposite a station of the ele
vated. Without reason, but follow
ing the instinct that had so often led
him to his quarry, he climbed the
stairs, passing on tip-toe tue ncKei
chnnner doziue in his warm booth. A
stylishlv-dressed young man paced the
platform, waiting for a train south.
Cold as it wa he carried his over
coat on liis arm, swinging it careiessiy.
Jim stood directly in the man's path,
at the head of the stairs, and waited
until the coat brushed against him.
Then clvine it a auick twist with both
bands he tossed It lightly over the
rail.
The man cave a cry of astonish
ment, but of what avail? There were
none to hear. He was alone on the
brilliantlv-lighted platform. For in
one bound Jim was down the first
flight of stairs, and in another was on
the street. Ten minutes later, after a
mile of quick and devious traveling,
he descended into a foul-smelling
basement and handed the coat over to
"Mother Isaacs" for Inspection. It
was a beautiful broadcloth; silk lined,
with fur collar and cuffs. It was
worth ten dollars, at least But the
Jewess sneered In his face, and he
was glad to take the six silver dollars
she flung upon the counter. It was
little enough, but it would help. Three
dollars must go for rent, and two
more for coal and oil. He was deter
mined that Alice should be comfort
able. That left a dollar hardly
enough for a chicken, much less a tur
key. And the trimmings? He thought
about It for some time. There was
only one thing to do swipe the tur
key from a store.
Like all criminals Jim was supersti
tious, and In the past few weeks he
had encountered many bad omens.
Caution was a part of his very fibre.
But he could not disappoint the little
girl. For Alice he must run the risk.
After an hour's tramp he found the
place a market store with a row of
hooks outside, on which -hung a doz
en turkeys. He came boldly up the
street selected' the last bird in the
row, and without a break in his gait
passed into the darkness, the bulky
burden thrust under his coat
It was a raw winter's night
The moon shone at intervals through
scurrying clouds. Enough snow had
fallen to whiten the streets. Jim
limped toward home, chuckling with
delight In an alley he stopped to
wrap the bird In a sheet . of paper,
begged for that purpose, it would di
vert suspicion, for he had still to get
the trimmings; and these he pur
chased at a small store close to the
house. Thus weighted, and with a
light heart, he climbed the stairs and
entered the dark room. AHee was
asleep, but when he had made a light
he wakened her. and with tugging
heart strings watched her shining
eyes as she Inspected the supplies; "It
Is a fine bird," he said glibly. "I se
lected It very carefully from the
whole-stock. The man guaranteed it
and if it isn't tender I'll take it back."
Mrs. Janschowski knew little of
Jim, seeing him only in the mornings.
But her motherly heart went out to
Alice, so different from her own dirty
faced, sturdy-legged brood; and it was
for Alice's sake that she had agreed
to cook the dinner. Alice gave valiant
assistance, and promptly at one
o'clock the beautifully-browned bird
was brought to their little table.
If Jim had any premonitions of his
rapidly-approaching finish, he was tuo
happy to give them more than a pass
ing thought lie was in nis gayest
mood. He told Alice stories of the
sea, and described royal dinners in
foreign lands. When they had eaten
all they could, Alice slipped down from
her chair and climbed up in his lap,
saying, "Now, tell me a really fairy
story, papa." And Jim began slowly
"Once upon a time there was a great
big giant ."
Heavy footsteps sounded In the hall.
The door opened suddenly, and a
broad-shouldered man wearing a black
hat and overcoat, entered the room.
With a cry of alarm, the picture of
the giant fresh in her childish Imagi
nation, Alice slid to the floor and took
refuge behind her father. But Jim
leaped to his feet, with staring eyes,
and face as white as a sheet. The
visitor looked at him curiously.
"Hello, Limpy. It's you, is It?"
Jim had but one thought that Alice
must not know. Into this crisis of his
life came his old-time, splendid nerve.
He extended his hand, and the color
swept back into his thin face. "Glad
to see you, Cap. You're just in time
for dinner. Too late for the blessing,
but there's plenty of turkey. Sit
down and have a bite. Thought you
were still in York."
There was a mute appeal in Jim s
eyes that went to the detective's
heart. He took off his hat and sat
down by the table.
"Oh, I've been here for a year or
two," he said carelessly, smiling at
Alice. "I'm on the force plain-clothes
man. Didn't expect to . see you,
though." Then, with meaning empha
sis, "No monkey business. The jig's
up. It won't pay, you know," for Jim
had measured with his eye the dis
tance to the door, calculating his
chances. "Who's the Kid" ne weui
mi "Ifomlrwlsi me of one I lost a
couple of years back with diphtheria.
Pretty near broke my wite s neari. on
down, Jim. I'm' in no hurry."
Jim gave a long sigh. Yes, the jig
Tiro a n n This man knew him like a
book. This man ran him into Sing
Sing years before, xnis man was uis
Nemesis. .
They understood each other now,
and for the time restraint was at an
end. The captain made himself most
agreeable. He had a pleasant face,
with deep-set, twinkling eyes, and the
heartiest laugh Alice had ever heard.
She thought him almost as nice as
her papa. He sampled the turkey and
the cranberries, and tipping back his
chair crunched a long stick of celery
in his strong, white teeth, talking
briefly to Jim in words Alice could
not understand. ' , ,
"Fine turk, Jim, but an unlucky
pinch. Just happened I was in the
store getting one for myself. Tiped
your lay, and would have landed if I
hadn't slipped on the ice. Never
thought of old Limpy Wilson till I
saw that trail in the snow. Good cov
er you've got, but the old lady put me
wise. Unlucky leg, that, Jim."
Presently the captain rose. "Guess
we'd better get along, Jim," he said
briefly. . . , ,
Jim put on his coat and hat and
turned to Alice with a wistful smile.
"I've got to go out for a while, little
sweetheart." His voice trembled, but
Alice did not notice it. "The captain
has come to offer me a job a fine
place that will fix us up allright. I'll
be back soon." A desperate hope -was
In his mind. He gave it voice as they
reached the street "Cap," he said
pleadingly, "wait a few days till I can
place the little girl. She's all alone. I
can put her somewhere so she'll be
taken care of and won't know. For
God's sake, Cap, help me out. She
thinks her daddy's straight as a
string."
The captain's eyes were full of pity.
"No friends?" he asked.
"Not one, except old Mrs. Jan, and
ahe'H pot seven of her own."
"It's a tough proposition, Jim." He
was silent for some time. His hand
was on Jim's shoulder, the slack of
the coat in his firm grip.
"Tell vou what I'll do, Jim. Yon
can take your choice. I'll give you a
year to brace up, and you can stay
right here and keep the kid. That's
one side: here's the other. There's
five thousand dollars for me when I
deliver you over to New York head
quarters. I'll take the kid and give
her a home, and use the money for
her education. My wife would treat
her like a daughter. We'll tell her
you've got a job in New York, and
that she's to stay with us till you
send for her. When she's old enough
to bear it we'll tell her you're dead,
as you will be long before you serve
all your time. Now I'll let you go, as
I say, and if you turn square it'll be
allrieht. But I'll watch you like a
hawk, and if you trip up again, so
help me! you'll take your medicine,
child or no child. And you know, as
well as I do ,that you're too old a dog
to learn new tricks. SpeaK lip, now.
I'm wasting good time."
And Jim spoke quickly. As much
as he loved liberty he loved Alice
more. He could not hope much longer
to keep from her the awful secret of
his life. Better that he should give up
now, and spare her the disgrace.
"I guess you're right, Cap. I'll give
in."
A week later Jim stood before the
rail In the familiar New York head
quarters, and heard himself sent
down for trial. There were many
charges against him. He could not ex
pect less than thirty years. Presently
those massive iron doors would clang
behind him, and the world would for
get him forever. Well,. Alice would
be happy. She would think kindly of
him. She would not know.
And under the captain's watchful
care Alice never knew.

Campaign of Good Government Calls

"The man can do it but will not;
the woman would do it but may not
we are Dound nana and loot but tor
tunately our tongues are not tied,"
said Mrs. G. A. Knollenberg, of liich
mond, Indiana. A bitter light was on
for the election of Mayor of that city.
The present incumbent, whose private
and public life is obnoxious to the
better element of the town, was up for
re-election. For eight years the poli
tical machine had backed the Mayor,
a mere tool in the hands of unscrupu
lous leaders. The forces of good gov
ernment seemed on the very verge of
defeat, when the women arose in their
might, twelve hundred strong, demand
ing that their little city be controlled
by men of clean character that good
instead of evil, honesty instead of
graft, decency instead of indecency,
be the watchwords.
They held a great mass meeting and
made stirring speeches. It was not a
question of politics; it was the moral
sentiment of the community speaking
through its wives and mothers. And
it was effective. The Mayor went
down to defeat. Said a leading paper:
"The women of Richmond made the
result possible. The tide began to
turn when the women met and in be-
half of womanhood and- the sanctity
of the home protested against the con
tinuance of the present regime. It
was not until then that the real im
port of the fight was felt."
Hot Stuff In New York. '
Not only in this Indiana town, but
in larger centers, the women were ac
tive in the campaigns. In New York
their earnest work on behalf of Je
rome, reform candidate for re-election
as District Attorney, has called out
the admiration of even that opponent
of woman's activity in municipal af
fairs, the Boston Herald, which says
editorially:
Ulesa tho women! How they are work
ing for Jerome nntl UKainst the bosses,
with their autoniobilea followlnij up pub
lie meelliiKS and street pnrartes distribut
ing bushels of Jerome literature; their
armies of picked newsboys dealing dut
hot stuff nt the subway and elevated sta
tions during the rush hours; their nluht
processions of autos with stereoptlcons
throwing upon big sheets the split ticket
to teach the masses how to use It; their
volunteer bands of watchers upon lodging
nouses and tenements to prevent the col
onization of Una tern! Bless . the women
municipal leaguers and clubbers and sweet
Halny Daisies! They are givln" the men
folks very practical lessons In election
eering, and demonstrating their capacity
nnd genius for systematic and effective
Eolltlcal work which must rejoice Justice
;rewer and confound Grover Cleveland.
In Graft-Ridden Philadelphia.
But the women of Philadelphia were
equally active. Their aid was solicit
ed by the city party in the great work
of reform, to secure for the citizens
an honest, decent administration, and
a physically clean city. And right
well they did their work. In nearly
every one of the forty-two wards
they assembled In enthusiastic crowds,
and listened to addresses from promi
nent women speakers, including Mrs.
Budolf Blankenburg, Mrs. Owen Wis
ter (wife of the author of "The Vir
ginian"), and Miss Jennings, sister-in-law
of Mayor Weaver. In the Toledo
Morning Times appeared the following
trenchant comment on this feature
of the Quaker City campaign:
Id oulet. staid,' precedent-loving Philadel
phia, the women are lu politics up to their
elbows.
They aro so aroused in the battle against
political corruption and graft that they
are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder
with the men and fight.
Precedent mnv eo h.mtr!
It is a grand good thing to see them
come out of their moss-grown "sheltered"
life, and put their shoulders to the wheel
lit aiding the accomplishment of the
downfall of the public evils that have
been made apparent in their city.
It required nerve for the first woman to
net. Formerly people didn't admire nerve
In a woman. They do now.
The old manner of sitting back and wait
ing to be "protected" Is gradually dlsap
nearlnir nosslblv because there were not
enough protectors to go around; possibly
because they didn't want the Job.
In every city a halt has been called n
the ancient way wherein the woman s head
grew frantic over Its dull routine, her brain
rusted from disuse, and her mentality
shrunk from the compression of the "shel
tered life." - .
Now, she breathes comparatively nn-
trammeled, the atmosphere of the whole
world, and rotolces In the use of all that
Is In her. Her pent-up activities have
leaned the barrier, and she is, first of all
a human, with humanity's Interests at
henrt.
The women mav prove a power for good
in graft-ridden Philadelphia.
Whether or not this activity of wo
man in municipal affairs Is welcomed,
the practical efficiency of her efforts
in the recent fight against the bosses
cannot be denied.

The crusade against the killing of
song birds for millinery purposes has
been waged for years, yet the vanity
of women in this matter of personal
adornment has proven invulnerable
against diatribes of reformers, ridicule
of men, and the pleadings of the hu
manitarian. Each fall the hats of the
feminine fies have been adorned by
the plumage of some of our most
beautiful songsters. In Massachu
setts, moral suasion having failed,
the legislature has enacted a law pro
viding a penalty for "the use of plum
age of song or insectivorous birds in
the making of picture hats or other
head adornments of women." Notice
has been sent to tho milliners of Bos
ton and throughout tho common
wealth by the State Game Commis
sion. It is announced that the State
laws covering "possession or wearing
for purpose of dress or blandishment
the body, skin, feathers, or parts
thereof of insectivorous and wild
hirers whether taken in this common
wealth or elsewhere, will be vigorous
ly enforced. Persons having prohibit
ed birds and feathers in their posses
sion, whether wearers or dealers, are
liable to arrest." .

"Whenever 'The Star Spangled

formal occasion at a military station,
or at any place where persons belong

In their official capacity, all officers
arid enlisted men present will stand

render the prescribed salute, tue posi

ever 'The Star Spangled Banner is
played as contemplated by this para

part, except such repetition as is
called for by tho musical score.
"At every military post or station

of the first note of the march, if a
march be played before' the reveille.
The fiaar will be lowered at the sound
