CONVICT No. 3420 I
CopyrlKlit, 190', by It. Douglas. 1
We had read all about him before he
appeared at the prison tinder a sen
tence of ten years. The dally papers
had said that his name was Sailers
and his age about forty. lie had taken
rooms at a fashionable boarding house
on u certain street in Chicago and let
5t be known that he was a broker. On
each sido of the boarding house were
private dwellings, and farther down
the street, fovtf to be reached over the
roofs, was a large art store.
The first thing to happen after the
arrival of Mr. Suiters, but with which
his name was not at all connected, was
the robbery of the art store. Other
robberies followed. While the detec
tives were after the burglar the dally
papers were after the detectives, and
tliiug! were being made hot allaround
when the rooms of eleven guest's in the
boarding house at which Mr. Suiters
stopped were robbed on tho same
night.
The house was tilled with detectives,
and everybody was examined and
cros examined, but it was no use. Tho
rooms had been entered and despoiled
while the guests were sleeping.
They were waiting in fear and
trembling for the next outbreak when
it stupid headed servant girl in Ihe
boarding house solved the puzzle.
From one of the side houses had been
taken an unset cateye stone. This
was found under Mr. Suiters' bed one
morning when the girl swept the room.
Mr. Suiters was asked to ex
plain. As he couldn't explain, he
was traced to another room half a
mile away and all the plunder found.
He simply laughed when put under ar
rest. Ho laughed when put on trial.
Ho had been caught so dead to rights
that he smilingly pleaded guilty and
took hlrt ten year sentence without
moving a muscle.
The police were on to Mr. Salters
for one of the sleekest chaps In the
business, and they would have given
a great deal to trace bis past and have
him answer certain questions. He
was mum on all points, however. They
could not trace him back a month,
and, as to how he entered the houses
and rooms and left no trace behind,
that was one of his professional se
crets. "
When Mr. Salters reached prison
the Jlrst glance at him caused every
body to wonder where they had seen
him before. Face, form, pose and gait
all reminded us of somebody, but who
that somebody was we could not re
call. Had ho not been passed along
to the barber and from thence luto
stripes so soon some of us might have
been the wiser. Ho was quiet nnd
respectful, and it was figured that hu
would make a model prisoner.
After three days he was put at work
In the shoo department, nnd all re
ports coining In about him were fa
vorable. At the end of six weeks he
had a chill and was sent to his cell,
and tho doctor gave him some medi
cine. Up to this time the man had
not asked for a book from the library
nor to see the chaplain. Many pris
oners who had no religious feelings
will ask for the chaplain now and then
In order to havo a talk and hear a
human voice. On this day that he
was taken ill Mr. Salters asked that
tho good man be scut to him, and I
.carried the message. I also noted that
tho chaplain remained with convict
I No. 8420 for n full hour, and when
ihe left the cell and came down the cor
ridor his perturbation did not fall to
attract my attention. Ho was very
pale and nnd been weeping.
l ErlBoo. chttDlttluB-JJflicn to., ffianj. jad
tales, and now and then their sympa
thies are aroused, but in the three
years I had known our Mr. Davis 1
had never seen him so greatly affected,
lie stopped as If he would speak to
me, but his tears fell afresh, his lips
trembled, and he finally passed on
without a word.
Mr. Salters took more medicine next
day and was excused from work. At
3 o'clock In the afternoon the chaplain
visited him without being sent for and
remained for two hours. I heard him
praying long and fervently. When he
left he was. pale and had an anxious
look, and yet there was also a look of
resolve In his face. There Is so much
hypocrisy amone convicts In the mat
ter of religion that my curiosity In this j
case was not very great. Tho greater
the rogue the harder he will try to
bamboozle the chaplain Into believing '
that he wants to walk in new paths. It j
was a question with me whether Mr. '
Salters had seen the error of his ways
or was only shirking his work. j
The next forenoon at 11 o'clock tho
chaplain paid his third visit, and as the j
bell rang for the convicts to inarch hi
to dinner he came forlh from the cell
and passed me, and the guard at tho i
end of the corridor opened the gate for
him. Other guards did the same thing,
and In five minutes he was clear of the
prison. It was two hours later when
the doctor came in. I accompanied him
to Salters' cell, and there we found the
convict undressed and In bed and weep
ing. No. It was not the convict. It was
the chaplain, though but for his long
hair I should have been longer de
ceived. The doctor spotted him almost
nt once. The convict's striped suit was
lying on the lloor.
"Von have changed clothes with No.
3120 and let him walk out!" exclaimed
tho doctor.
"Ves," was tho tearful reply.
"But why, man, why V
"Hecause he Is my twin brother and
has promised to lead a better life!"
The chaplain was forced to resign
and was also arrested and put on trial
and convicted, but I believe tho gov
ernor stood his friend nnd had sentence
suspended. M. QUAD.

I AN EXPLANATION
arni"'Hiii,i'ii'iin'nwHi"uininmmnn!m
Original.
A lady sat In a train on her way
home after a summer outing. Her at
tire was half mourning and a bit of
white niching In her bonnet marked
her for a widow. A gentleman sitting
near her arose and, approaching her,
raised his hat and said:
"Mrs. Sands."
The lady looked up and met a kludly
glance with one the reverse of kindli
ness It was Icy cold.
"You have forgotteu. me?" said tho
man.
"Not at all. I havo good reason to
remember Ogden Kockwell."
The man stood, evidently undecided
whether to return to his seat or re
main and prolong the Interview. Tho
lady removed a bag from the vacant
seat beside her, though she did net
ask him to be seated. He sat on the
arm instead.
"A great deal has passed sluce wo
last met," he said.
"I remember tho circumstance very
well. It was a week before my wed
ding. You took It upon yourself to
glvo mo advice."
"The scene Is equally vivid to mo.
I remember some things I said to you,
but If I advised you I havo forgot
ten It."
"At that meeting, or rather partlug,
you told mo that If I married Lau
rence Sands I would regret It. I did
not believe that you would uld In any
rcjjrot u wife might feel In her hus
band's weakness."
"Nor did I dream Unit fate would
make it my duty to expose that weak
ness. As cashier I was responsible
for any leak in the funds of the bank."
"You could have screened him for
the sake of the woman you had pro
fessed to love."
"Ilanford was suspected of having
taken the money. Would you have
had me sacrifice him?"
To this there was no reply.
"tJrnutlng," the man went on. "that
there was no matter of duty or Jus
tice, would you expect mo to shield
a man who had taken away from' me
all that made the world attractive to
me?"
"You struck through him tho woman
whom you say was all that might have
made the world attractive to you."
There was a brief pause at the cud
of which the man said:
"I asked what you would have ex
pected." "I would only expect a man of wou
derful nobility of soul to shield a
rival."
"You would put It better If you said.
'Only a cur would fall to shield a rival
when the woman they both loved was
to suffer.' "
She looked up at him Inquiringly.
"My part In the exposure was what
hurt me," he added. "That I could not
help, though It wounded you."
"Why was the exposure necessary
when there was a way out of the mat
ter, as Is evident from the fact that
Laurence was not prosecuted V"
"It was known to the olllcers of the
bank that a considerable sum of money
had disappeared. As I have said. Han
ford was suspected. The real culprit
must at least bo known."
Tho woman bent her head. The dis
cussion of the matter was terribly pain
ful, even though It had occurred five
years before. She put her handker
chief to her eyes and wept. Then, dry
ing her tears, she said:
"There Is one and only one feature of
the case on which I love to dwell. That
Is tho noble act of Laurence's friend,
Edward Horton, who paid the Indebt
edness nnd saved Laurence from pris
on." The man dropped Into the vncant
seat. When he did so ho was too ab
sorbed in his thoughts to be conscious
of the act. At tho end of a brief silence
he said:
"You were misinformed ns to I lor
ton's part In the matter. Horton wns
Implicated hi tho embezzlement and
threw tho whole blame on your bus
bnnd." Tho lady turned In astonishment.
"Horton implicated! Horton throw the
blame on Laurence!"
"Horton, not I, was responsible for
the nintter coming out."
"Why, then," she asked Indignantly,
"was I led to believe that Horton fur
nished tho means to save Laurence?
From tho first I wns deceived deceived
by everybody, by you, from whom I
might havo expected"
"You were Laurence Sands' wife."
"Was this n reason why I should bo
deceived as to tho person who be
friended him?"
"Yes."
"Will you explain ?"
"The person who furnished tho means
to make good the deficit did so on the
condition that some one should stand
In his place to you ns the donor. Hor
ton, as Laurence's friend, made an ex
cellent substltuto and, being Impli
cated, could bo compelled to accept tho
part."
"Why did the donor deslro to lildo
his noble act under the cloak of a thief
nnd a traitor to his bosom friend?"
"Because ho wns a man and you
woro a married womnn."
"Well?"
"Ho loved you."
Sho sat stnrlng nt him, her eyes aeem
lngly growing larger and larger.
