Easy money Is the kind th a t Is h ard to ¡ret. A w ord from the wise should be sufficient. A poet's children seldom w rite poetry, for w ith the exam ple before her their m other tries to bring them tip to lead useful lives. The w orld is prolific in excuses when a fellow tries to collect the living th a t the w orld owes him. You never find a gossip who is out of practice. W hen you serve the devil don't he surprised if his tips burn your fingers. One w ay people have of losing money Is by cultivating the acquaintance of real e state men.

The first tiling to happen a fte r th e arriv al of Mr. Salters hut w ith w ! toll his nam e w as not a t all connected, wav tile robbery of tins a r t store. Othot robberies followed. While the d etec tives were a fte r the burglar the daily papers were a fte r the detectives, and tilings were being m ade liut all around when tho rooms of eleven guests in the hoarding house a t w hich Mr. S a lte n slopped w ere robbed on the sauc. night. Ti e house w as filled w ith detectives, and everybody w as exam ined anil cross examined, hut It w as no use. Tho rooms had been entered and despoiled while tile guests were sleeping. They w ere w aiting in fe ar a u d trem bling for the next outbreak when a stupid headed serv an t girl In tile boarding house solved the puzzle. From one of the side houses hail been tak e n an unset eatseye »tone. This w as found under Mr. Salters' lie 1 one m orning when the girt sw ept the room Mr. Suiters w as asked to ex- , plain. As lie couldn't explain, h w as traced to another room h a lf u m ile aw ay and all the plunder found. H e simply laughed w hen put under nr- rcst. Ho laughed when p u t on trial, lie had been caught so dead to rights th at lie sm ilingly pleaded guilty and took hi» ten y e ar sqgtonco witiiou moving a muscle. The police w ere on to Mr. Saltern for oue of the sleekest chaps in tho business, and they would have give i a g re at deal to trace his p ast and have i him answ er certain questions. II ) | wa -. mum oil all points, however. They I could not trace him back a m ont’ . and. ns to how he entered the houses a n d rooms aud left no trnee behind, th a t w as one of his professional se crets. W hen Mr. S alters reached prison the first glance a t him caused every body to wonder w here they had seen him before. Face, form, pose and gait ail rem inded us of somebody, b u t wlm that somebody w as wo could not r e call. H ail he not been passed along to th e barber and from thence Into stripes so soon some of us ill. lit have been the* wiser. Ho w as quiet and respectful, and It w as figured th a t lie w ould m ake a model prisoner. A fter H ire*'lays lie w as put a t w ork In tli .* shoe departm ent, aud all re- porta coming in about him w ere fa vorable. A t tins end of six weeks he ha*l a chill and w as sent to his cell, and the doctor gave him some medi cine. Up to this tim e tlio m an had not asked for n book from tiie library nor t> see tin* chaplain.

D avis I had never seen him so givutly affected. H e Mo ped as if lie would speak to me. b u t bis tea rs fell afresh, hif Ill's trem bled, and he finally passed on w ithout a word. Mr. Salters took moro medicine next day and was excused from work. A t 3 o’clock In the afternoon the chaplain visited Mill w ithout being sent for and remained for tw o hours. I heard hhn praying long and fervently. W hen lie left ho ivas p ile and had an anxious look, an l yet there w is ills , a look of resolve In his fare. ’There is so much hypocrisy am ong convict* In the in ot te r of religion til l* my rn rh u lty In tills case w as not very ■ n-at.

Tho next forenoon a t 11 o'clock the chaplain paid Ills third visit, and as the hell rang fur the convicts to m arch In to dinner he rarae forth from tin* II and passed me, and the guard M the end of the corridor opened the gate for him. O ther guard» did the sam e thing and in five m inutes he w as clear of the prison. I t w as tw o hours later when th e doctor cam e In. I accom panied him to B alters' cell, and there we found the convict undressed and In bed and w eep ing. N'o, It w as not tlie convict. It was tho ehnplaln, though but for Ids long h a ir I should have been longer de ceived The doctor spotted him alm ost a t once. Tiie convict's striped suit w as 'y og on th" floor. "Yon have changed clothe* with So. ' ! ' I him walk out!" exelsii ad the d o " or. ■'Yes,” was the tearful reply. " B u t why man, w hyT’ "B ecause he Is m y twdn brother ro d has promised to lead n better life!” The chaplain w as forced to res m and w as also arrest's! and put on t ial and convicted, b u t I believe the ( r- srn o r stood hie friend and had *'-nt< ee fled.
