H e loved oysters, chicken, porterhouse steak and clam chowder, but what he loved above all was amok- ed ham. He liked It fried or boiled or baked, and be could never got euough of b. The only way he could get ham was to steal It, and many of the vil lagers and farmers objected to hla midnight visits to their smokehouses. Among the objectors was the Widow G le n n , who hud a farm n mile away. She was also one of those interested In seeking to save Bill from hltnself. Perhaps she was the only woman In the world who would have thought of combining ham w ith reform. The idea came to her In a dim, undefined way, but she kept at it until she worked It out. One day after being told by her hired man that be had seen Bill Scott scouting about the smokehouse the evening previous she entered into a Hl tie conspiracy. The door was left uni«- ked, the hired man hidden near by. and next night as BUI was taking a ham off its roost the door was slam med shut, and he found himself a prisoner.
