little court yard with high, solid oak
fence all around it. He took his Gus
todian to the window and pointed ont
barn just beyond it. He'd just
squeezed through the bars around the
fence and clambered along until he
came to the barn.
There he had been sleeping all the
time, getting out at night and going
over to his mothers house for food.
Well they put so many bars across
the windows that a man couldn't get
his hand through them and raised the
height Of the fence about ten feet
After all these precautions had been
taken they went to see Hobbs one
morning and he wasn't there He
stayed away about three weeks that
time, and then he came back just as be-
fore. The jailer almost had convul-
| sions that time.
He explained that he had gone down
and come back by way of the drain
pipe. They fixed the pipe SO even a
rat couldn't pass, but they were all
timid about Hobbs for all that AS a
result the officers took him to the Ing
ham county Jail over at Mason. They
| didn't give him chance to escape,
either. One turnkey slept with him at
| night and sat with him by day, keep
| ing as close watch as ii he were con-
demned to death.
His case was hurried up. too, and in.
side of q fortnight he had been tried.
| convicted of burglary, and sent to the
penitentiary at Jackson for two years.
He was placed under the strictest
surveillance. Just the same one bright
day he was gone and the warden found
note in his cell saying he was tired of
the board he was getting and had de-
cided to find another boarding house.
A week or SO afterward another let.
ter came to the warden, dated and
postmarked at Bay City. 1t said in eff
feet that board was much better there
than in Jackson and he was better
satisfied. Similar letters came from De.
troit and other Michigan points Then
they stopped and nothing more was

GAINS AND LOSSES.

Come the hours when we sit in the shadow
That falls like the droop of wing
Oer the nest that is naked and empty
when the Hedgings have learned how to sing
Then woe is the heart for the old time,
The time that was busy and gay,
With the world and its clamor about US,
And We in the midst of the fray
In the shadow VIC count up our losses;
we creep where we marched with the best
on. the ache when we try to walk softly,
Inc cry OF our soul against rest.
ana we gricvc for the golden heads vanished;
our children arc women and men,
And wiStful and dccpis the ycarning
10 have them but children again
And VIC fret DER the fruitless endeavor,
The labor that satisfied not,
TIL the shadow grows thicker and longer,
Ana the blur i'll our eyes is u blot
On the lingering splcndtr OF sunshine
Ihat taps with its lances of light
AT the shut and barred door of our memory,
An after glow radiant and bright.
Do we see nothing else but our losses
We mourning there, fools and purblnd,
with the crown and the Kingdom before us,
The conflict and turmoil behind?
Shall the harvest lament for the seed time.
The bud be less blithc than tho leaf?
Is there JOY when the plow breaks the furrow,
And none when the hand binds the sheaf?
oh! wings that arc folded and dropping,
Spring wide in the evenings uplift:
Reach out to the stars that are showing
The skies in svcry rift
No day OF our day is so hallowcd
AS that when VIC see. just before.
The light i'll the house Of our Father
Shine ont through His half-opcn door.

"These words were the open sesame

it now.
There was another John P. Smith,
and he was a detective. l had been
mistaken for him. Under the influ-
encc of champagne l had entered the
wrong room, by chance that of the
woman who had robbed the Young
nobleman
~ had one chance of concealing my
self-to roll off behind the lounge,
which had no back.
Being slim as an eel at the time
contrived to do this silently and waited
the result.

ity,' says to myself. Don't give your

saw the old woman take the skirt and
put it on and come and lie down on the
lounge above me with cloak over
her. l saw the lights lowered and
heard the other woman lie down on
the bedstead.
The thief above me groaned first
and snored afterward. Then the young
woman was as quiet as if she were
dead
~ crept out, crawled on nv hands
and elbows to the door, found the kew
in the lock, opened the door and was
safe.
II found the nightwatchman walk
ing the house in list slippers. and, sig
mailing him to silence, said:

They are professional thieves. The

committed the robbery while Lord

in quilted petticoat on the old wom-

we'll. He says he likes it, likes tho
people, and has become accustomed to
the native food-not trifling matter
with Will by great deal, as his his
tory shows.
Did you ever hear Of Hobbs? Well,
You did il you ever lived in Michigan,
and probably you have anyhow, only
it has slipped from your memory. Will
was the confoundedcst fellow anybody
ever saw. He came of good family,
had the best possible home training,
was sent to school, and learned great
deal and all that. He wasn't studious
fellow-was SO quick to learn he
didn't have to study much-but lie
always stood well in his classes and
was graduated with credit if not with
honor.
He was tall, thin, lanky boy, and
his physical pccularities increased
with his years. He was one of that
sort of fellows who could stand up and
put his foot over his head, or lie down
and touch his two heels together back
of his neck. He could take things out
of his lower left waistcoat pocket with
his right hand by throwing his right
arm around his neck and over his left
breast from belinda trick no one else
in school could do, no matter how thin
and overgrown he looked.
Well, viii grew up to be man and
always kept his overgrown appearance.
His trousers were just little short
you know the kind-and tapped
around his thin ankles as if he had
come TO be two or three inches taller
since he bought them. His wrists
stuck down below his coat sleeves, too,
and his waistcoat always made close
connection.

Not to make money, nor from bad as.

carefully that it must have taken hours.
One night he captured fifty Or sixty
revolvers and arranged them along the
balcony railing of clergyman who
was VIGOROUSLY opposed to war or the
use OF any kind of physical force. He'd
take clocks-good, big clocks, too
wind them all up, alarms and all, and
set one in each window he could reach
all along street. That trick left
lasting impression on the Lansing peo-
pie for so many walked up with the
idea that the city was burning up or
the end OF the world had come they
couldn't forget it.
Naturally in town as quiet rs this
FRANKS of that kind created an endless
amount of talk. Special policemen
were sworn in and some Detroit de.
tcctivcs came over to look at the
ground. But the tricks and thicvcry
went on just the same until some re-
marks were dropped by Will Hobbs
himself and they caught him coming
out of drug store with bag full of
hair and tooth brushes and on his back
one of the big threc-storied bottles
filled with colorcd water that druggists
have for sign.
lie never told what he was going to
do with that bottle. Well, they put him
i'll the county jail-hc didn't try to de-
fc nd himself and his people and friends

no help. But it didn't matter much;
the evidence was too strong. And it

didn't get any thinner, because he
couldn't, and was we'll liked by every
body, officers and all, from the first.
One day the jailer came in with the
breakfast and found Hobbs in his Gus
tomary attitude, sitting in his cell, with
his chair tipped back and his feet rest
ing on the barred window high above
him. He looked over the food and said
to the jailer: That's e mighty poor
morning meal for n hungry man"
Whats the mattcr?" said the jailer.
well. that's not the kind of coffee
you'd give your own family, is it?"
Hobbs said. Besides, the biscuits are
heavy. l believe don't like the board
here, anyway"
The taller laughed and good-natured-
~ went back to get something better.
When he returned to the cell there
wasn't any Hobbs, no sign of him
high or low. They searched the Jail
from top to bottom. The alarm was
sent all through the town. but no one
had seen him. Bolts and bars were I'M
touched and the matter became a mys-
terry.
8 One morning about two weeks after
ward us the jailer was handing round
the breakfast the same old way he
jumped aside and dropped all the
victuals as he passed Hobbs old cell
There, seated just as he used to be,
sat the long, thin chap, with his feet
in the air.
Got that coffee for me yet?" said he,
grinning.
The jailer was so mad he couldn't
talk for minute. Then he began to
blow around.
Here, don't talk so much, and I'll
tell you how did it," Hobbs said and
the jailer was glad to get the informa-
ton. His window looked down into q
