The Former 1
Convict
By DOROTHY WHITCOMB 5
nlllltlllllllltllltllltlltllllllllllllllllllllllln
Copyright, 1922, Wentern Newspaper Union. '
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.
