QUAD Copyright by Assoclntotl Literary 1'ross. 1 am something of a reformer not only In theory, but In practice, nml when I discovered the man up a tree I' determined to try my bond nt ele vntlng tils moral standard. I bad extended sympathy and more or less linanclnl aid to this man up a tree. In a burst or conlldenco he had confessed to me that he lind-Sicon n swindler, a gambler, a conlldenie man and a great deal more. He bad conn to me as a man who hnd nt least soon the error of his ways and sighed to take another track and bo counted with tlie good and respectable. He bad gh en me tho name of II. .tones Jones. When he threw himself upon my mercy, as It were when he made a clean breast of his wicked career and added that If any one would aid him lie would turn Into honest paths and travel on without a limp I agreed to take him in hand I gnvo him mon ey for a week's vacation from crime nml when the vacation wns over was to see what further could bo done. I took my week olT at tho same time nml brought up umld the fresh butter milk and dew kissed goldenrod of the country On the second night of my stay, as I sat by my open window at midnight to finish tho last of my cigar and won der If my Jones-Jones hnd kept straight during the last forty-eight hours, I suddenly caught sight of him on tho ground below. It wns a fnrm houso hotel nt which I was stopping I hnd a corner room, and at that cor ner of the house stood a largo apple tree. I had observed that a big limb branched out so close to my window that I could have descended by It. What jou can descend by you can nlso ascend by. I hnd no sooner caught sight of Jones-Jones nt tho foot of the tree nt an hour when everybody was supposed to bo In bed thnn I under stood that ho Intended to pay me a secret visit. Mr. Jones-Jones had no sooner begun to climb thnt apple tree thnn I made ready to receive him with nil due hospitality. There was no club In the room, but the water pitcher hud been tilled for the night and made a good weapon. 1 waited with patience until he had reached a particular position nnd then brought the pitcher down upon his head. The idea wns to administer nn anaesthetic, and It wns n success. Ilo pitched forward Into tho room with n long drawn sigh. Then I forced bran dy between his teeth and bathed his face with water, and In the course of a qunrter of an hour my midnight visitor had so far recovered his senses thnt I ventured to remark: "Well, Jones-Jones, why didn't you tell mo thnt you were coming, thnt I might be on tho lookout for you?" "Sir, my nnuio Is Hrown-Brown, and I don't exactly understand tho situa tion. Am I In your room, or nro you In initio?" "1 believe It's my room," I replied. "Now, then. Mr. Ashmere, ns to the business In linnd," said Hrown-Hrown to me. "If you think you can advnnco mo $500 1 am sure I can mnke n go of it." It took mo u little whllo to catch on. but by nnd by I discovered thnt Jones Jones hnd been knocked out nnd Hrown-Hrown had taken his place. Jones-Jones wns a crook who wanted to reform. Hrown wns n poor but hon est man who wanted to go Into the making of shirts. I had turned Jones-Jones the crook back Into Hrown-Hrown tho honest man by a knock on the bend. When my week was up we went back to town together, and 1 gave Hrown Hrown money enough to set up In shirt making. My man prospeied wonderfully well People snld ho was a little eccentric, but he was honest nnd a bard worker In one year he had paid mo back half my money nnd built up a good busi ness. One day n detective entered the store to make a purchase He had known Jones-Jones as a crook. Ho knew that Jones-Jones had u crooked linger on his right hand nnd u mole on his left cheek. When lie discovered that Hrown-Hrown had these same identification marks ho began to look at him more closely, and by nnd hy lie made up his mind that the old crook stood before him. Ilo wns no sure of It that ho set out to mnko nn arrest. Hrottn Hrown wns nn honest man. but In his surprise ho started to mnko u bolt of It. As ho ran out of his shop nnd down tho street pursued by tho de tective he encountered a policeman, who tupped him on tho head with his club. Hrown-Hrown wont down like u log and tvus enrted off to the station I was present when his senses return ed, nnd you can imagine my feelings when ho snt up nnd said: "Well, you'vo got mo nt Inst, but 1 gnvo you a run for It. You fellers nln't half sharp!" "You nro Jones-Jones tho crook," Mild tho sergeant. "Of courso I nm nnd the slickest crook In tho country. Is It that bunk business you want mo for this time?" "Mr. Hrown-Hrown" I began as I stepped forward, but tho crook Mopped mo tilth: "Who In blank is Hrown-Hrown?" Then I realized how It wns I bad smashed Jonos-.lones the crook over tho bend with n wnter pitcher nnd changed him into Hrown-Hrown tho honest shirt constructor. Tho police man hnd smashed Hrown-Hrown with his club and changed him hnek Into Jones-Jones the crnolc.
