' John Hawse munched his twenty- cent supper with the furtive Irresolu tion of tho ex-1allblrd that ho wns. Three years in prison lenves Its stamp upon a man, and the lockstep, the , dropped voice, tho shrinking from men, the automatism of action follow the released convict as mute witnesses to his past. "Reform the prisoner," say , some. Associations have boon founded with this hoiu-ncont object. John llawes smiled bitterly at the thought. Ho had been a bookkeeper; ho bad stolen u paltry sum to provide comforts for his sick wife. ' Ills wife bad never visited him In prison. He had never seen his son. Minnie's last words to lilm before thoy took him away had been of forgive ness; but Minnie's father was not the type that can condone having a jail bird for a son-ln-law. He had taken her away. Now, desperate and bitter, ho nte his' cheap meal In silence. The Inst of his money was gone. And sinis ter voices had lieen whispering in his ears. There was "Red," who had served a half a dozen sentences for burglary. Ho had shown llawes, with whom ho had been in the penitentiary, In a rough, well-meaning way the folly of trying to live down his past. That night llawes had yielded to the temptation. He had seen "Red." "Red" knew that a man of llawes' ad dress, a gentleman, In spite of his pust, would be of use to lilm. To gether they might pull oft n Job or two. For Instance, there was the new big house up Marsden way. Tho old guy who lived there wouldn't put up much of a tight oven if ho woke, und it was said ho hnd a dinner service of solid silver, and his wife bad Jewels. So much "Red" had learned from prowling about the neighborhood. If Iluwes didn't Join lilm ho was a fool. llawes. agreed to Join him. At midnight Hnwcs stood shivering outside the house. The coup was to be pulled off In half nn hour; "Red" would come by with n cart, and tho spoils were to be dumped inside. At nfteen minutes past the hour Hawes climbed to the window of tho dining room, thrust up tho pleco of wire between the windows, and forced back the catch. A mutch revealed the silver service. Hnwcs had a burlap bng to hold these articles, but that part of the work was to come Inter. Thero were the Jewels, left, as "Red" believed, upon the bedroom bureau at night. The moon shone through the win dow. After a moment Hawes mnde out tho figure of n child in the bed. This. then, could not be the plnce. He crept out. He entered the dining room, switched on the lights again, and turned to the silver. He hnd Just taken up the first piece, n coffee pot, when he heard a light footfall behind him. He turned, to see the child stnndlng In the door, looking at him. "Daddy," said the child. Hawes cursed his folly in going up stairs. "Daddy," said the child, a smile upon Its Hps. "Hush!" said Hawes gently, and closed the door behind It. At that Instant he heard plainly the creaking of the wheels of the bnker's enrt In tho rear of the house. He must act- Immediately. "Daddy," said the child more loudly. Hawes was brcomlng frantic. "I'm not your daddy," said Hawes. "Daddy's upstairs." A sudden thought came to him. "Go back to bed." he said softly. "Daddy will come pres ently." The child toddled toward tho door and began rattling the hnndle. llawes sprang forward and opened the door to see a woman descend the last of thp lllght and stand looking at him. The child toddled toward her. "Dnddyl" It cried again. "Minnie I" Hawes cried. Sho was In his arms, and no other word had been spoken. It wns his wife, restored to him. "Johnl How did you find me?" she gasped. "Come In here I "Father died Inst week," she said, half sobbing with Joy. "Before ho died ho forgave you. Ho wanted me to find vou. I telegraphed to to that place but they knew nothing of you. I always needed you, John 1 I knew that I could turn father's henrt at tho end but It enme suddenly, and thero was only the deathbed mes sngo: 'Tell John to come home." Hawes held her In his arms, and In that moment the balnnco was struck between good and evil. Ills life wns renewed, ami tho future miraculously bright. Ab ho sat there ho heard the creaking of tho baker's cart ns It drove slowly away. "This Is our boy, John," whispered his wife softly. "And our homo, my dear. Yon will never leave moT "No," answered Hawes, and led her out of the room. Keith Theatre, Friday, lar. 17 Reserved Seat Sale Starts March 16th.
