I am something of a reformer not only in theory, but in practice, and when I discovered the man up a tree I determined to try my hand at elevat- ing his moral standard. I hold that no man is so bad that he can’t be re- formed to a certain extent, and I hold that any way to bring about a better- ment of his moral character is justifia- ble. I mean by that. to speak frankly and plainly, that, while some men can be reformed by sympathy and encour- agement. others need a rap on the head with a baseball bat to arouse their dormant integrity and ambitirflg I had extended sympathy and motel “You hit your head on me door In or less financial aid to this man up a ‘ the darkness, I believe." tree.

He had given me the name of H. Jones-Jones. It struck me that there ‘ was an extra amount of Jones about him, but the name is an honest one. and I didn't find fault about it. He‘ was a man of about 45. with all the ‘1 evidences of his career in his face. but , c 1 didn‘t look for babylike innocence iu ; . his eyes. When he threw himself ii upon my mercy. as it were-when he ‘ made a clean breast of his wicked ca- reer and added that if any one would ‘ point out the path of honesty he would : turn into it and travel on without a ; limp. I agreed to take him in hand. He 3 had whiskers with which the police; were acquainted. and I sent him to a ‘ barber shop. He had clothes which gave him away as a dead game sport. l and I bought him a modest suit of': blue. Then I gave him money for a week’s vacation from crime. and when ' the vacation was ever we were to see 1 what further could be done. I took my ‘ week of! at the same time and brought l up amid the fresh buttermilk and dew kissed goldenrod of the country. 1 "finkâ€"fly dear heart was mine, I wandered forth upon the lea Alone, lest all the world should see My secret so divine. But, ah, the world has passed nie by When first assurance came to On the second night of my stay. as I sat by my open Window at midnight to finish the last of my cigar and wonder if my Jones-Jones had kept straight during the last 48 hours. 1 suddenly caught sight of him on the ground be- low. It was a farmhouse hotel at which 1 was stopping. I had a corner room. and at that corner of the house stood a large apple tree. I had ob- served that a big limb branched out so close to my window that 1 could have descended by it. What you can de- iscend by you can also ascend by. I lhad no sooner caught sight of Jones- which 1 was stopping. I had a corner room. and at that corner of the house stood a large apple tree. I had ob- served that a big limb branched out so close to my window that 1 could have descended by it. What you can de- scend by you can also ascend by. I had no sooner caught sight of Jones- Jones at the foot of the tree at an hour when everybody was supposed to be in bed than I understood that he intend- ed to pay me a secret visit. How he had tracked me to my lair was of no consequence. Why he should imagine that 1 had brought along any great \ amount of bo'odle on my week’s outing Ll lmdidn’t stop to figure. Indeed 1 am 10 ‘ not sure that he had tracked me. In 3 :3“ looking for country board he might ichfi‘ have stumbled upon the place. He ~ might have thought the open window ‘ hon belonged to another boarder. No mat- l 3:! ter how it was, however. Mr. Jones- Jones had no sooner begun to climb Jon that apple tree than I made ready to éthe receive him with all due hospitality. "‘19 There was no club in the room, but nev .the water pitcher had been filled for f in ‘ the night and made a good weapon. iseci Armed with that 1 took my stand on .Eon one side of the window and waited. 3; Jones-Jones was not an lmpetuous s“) man.

When my week was up. we went back to town together. and I gave Brown-Brown \ ~\t‘* money enough to set up in shirtmak- ing. He had on the clothes I had 3 R00“ {bought Jones-Jones.

Then I forced brandy between his teeth, bathed his face with water, and in the course of a quarter of an hour my midnight visitor had so far recov- ‘ ered his senses that I ventured to re- mark: . “Well, Jones-Jones, why didn't you tell me that you were coming, that I might be on the lookout for you?” Jones-J ones sat up. He didn’t recog- nize me. He himself had 'a different look on his face. That dissipated but yet crafty look had disappeared, and in its place was wonderment if not hon- esty. It was my wicked man in the flesh, but not in the spirit. He got off the floor and felt of the bump on his head and sat down on a chair, and it was a long five minutes before he said: “Sir, my name is Brown-Brown, and I don’t exactly understand the situa- ‘ tion. Am I in your room, or are you ; in mine?” ““Sfou hit your head on the door in the darkness, I believe.” It tool: me a little while to catch on. but by and by I discovered that Jones- Jones had been knocked out and Brown-Brown had taken his place. “5V .. Jones-Jones was a crook who wanted to reform; Brown-Brown was a poor but honest man who wanted to go into the making of shirts. He knew noth- ing whatever of Jones-Jones. He pick- ed up the conversafion.as if he had been talking about the business when the accident happened. He called me by another name than my own. and it was plain to me that he was also another rnan. l sounded lfinJ about crime and state prison. but he solemnly assured nuzthat he had never been ar- rested. He was Brown-Brown as far as his name went. but as for his past history he was rather hazy on the sub- i ject. My man prospered wonderfully welL People said he was a little eccentric. 1| but he was honest and a hard worker. -, In one year he had paid me back half 3my money and built up a good hust- | ness. One day a detective entered the store to make a purchase. He had known Jones-Jones as a crook. He ‘kuew that Jones-Jones had a crooked iflnger on his right hand and a mole ' on his left cheek. When he discovered 'that Brown-Brown had these same identification marks. he began to look ‘at him more closely. and by and by ihe made up his mind that the old crook stood before him. He was so i sure of it that he set out to make an lax-rest. Brown-Brown was an honest 3 man. but in his surprise he started to make a bolt of it. As he ran out of his shop and down the street. pursued by the detective. he encountered a police- man who tapped him on the head with his club. Brown-Brown went down like a log and was carted off to the station. 1 was present when his senses returned. and you can imagine my feet- ings when he sat up and said: I l ‘ "Of course I am, and the siickest wool: in the countxy. Is it that bank business you want me for this time?" i “Mr. Brown- Brown”â€"- I began as I stepped forward. but the crook stopped me with: “Who in blank is Brown-Brown R" Then I realized how it “as. 1 had smashed Jonesâ€"Jones. the crook. oxer the head with a water pitcher and Ichanged him into Brown-Brown. the ‘honest shirt constructor. The police- I man had smashed Brown- Brown with THE WATCHMAN-WARDER‘UNDSAY 0N1 :Well. you've got me at last. but 1 gave you a run for it. You tellers ain't half sharp." “You are Jones-Jones. the crook.” said the sergeant. his club and changed him back mto Jones-Jones. the crook. The taps on the head had done the business. My tap was all right. and I had founded a new theory upon it and invested $500 in cash. But I hadn’t foreseen that a second tap might come any day. us come it did. and my theory had been knocked into a cocked hat, and I was $250 out. In the Giddy “'hlrl. “He has no pride.
