The Sacrifice
of Little Jack

Sometimes I imagine that heaven
must be place of surprises. We will
go there, If we are fortunate enough
to go at all, with many preconceiyed
notions concerning what we shall see
and experience, and just as likely as
not the decided majority of them will
be shattered. Browne of our set GER
tainly must be here, we will say, for
he was such good and proper man in
life; then we will look about us. and
will be greatly astonished to find no
Browne. Muggins of no set in particu-
lar cannot be here, we again will re-
mark to ourselves, for he was so
coarse and crude, or even worse; then
We will see the obnoxious Muggirs sit,
ting pretty well forward in a rath er
nice pew, and again we will be aston
ished. Occasionally 1 even fear that
the society in heaven may be some
what mixed and common, but of course
l trust and believe that this is quite
unnecessary fear on my part.
However, these reflections are quite
apart from the story, and it really is
time that 1t were begun.

advertisements of enthusiastic real es-
tate promoters termed it. was wild and

On the whole, we Juveniles partook
largely of the character of our sur
roundtngs; we were as uncultured as
we were good-hearted. and as rough
as we were care-free. This statement
applies to all of us, but if you had set
carefully to work to select the widest
young cub-human, you understand
among us all, you certainly would
have selected little Jack without a
moments hesitation.
Probably little Jack had another
name. Arguing from the analogies of
the case, consider it likely that he
had, but, If so, nobody in Sodtown had
heard it or knew what it was. His
mother had died long before, the child
could remember, and his father was
known merely as big Jack, a gentle
man who followed the mere Or less
lucrative profession of cowboy. So
little Jack grew without any hammer
ing circumstances worthy of men
vion.
What would you expect of child of
such lineage and environments? But
what you would expect really does not
matter greatly. AS a matter of fact.
the experiment of raising figs from
thlstles never has been much of a
success, and, equally as a matter of
fact, little Jack early developed a
moral toughness that was phenomenal.

age he fought, swore, Led and-stole,
was going o,say, but the fact had
not been absolutely proved, and per-
haps it is mere justice to give him the
benefit of any possible doubt:
