BACK 10 NV BoYhOO1 Home.

There are people in Ohio and other
counties who have been born and
reared on the banks or within a close
: distance Of old Rough river and have
never imagined that there were old
pioneer homes and other places Of
interest along its banks that were
q fairly glowing with rustic beauty
and poetry, but such is the case.
Along its banks are the old pioneer
homes of our forefathers: old ar d
maybe gone to decay, but having
such histories that they are oven =
flowing with interest.
There was one old home near the
, place called Ross Ripple about two
or three miles from Centertown, at
which the Downs family lived, ard
where L. P. Downs was born. This
old place has been changed a great
deal since Mr.. Downs left it forty
years ago when child. but yet it
sis ALI interesting spot, for him at
least. Some time last spring he was
going up Rough and coming to this
old place he stopped to wander over
the place of his happy boyhood days.
The old buildings and other places he
! had known and loved so we'll were
gone and new ones in their places,
out still there were few old fami-
liar places that brought back to his
memory the happy days of childhood.
All these things affected him greatly
and he went away with a sad heart.

1t was a plan conceived in the mind
of Jerry Palmer, convict No. 1870, one
night as he tossed to and fro on his
prison couch about three weeks pre-
yious to the expiration of his five years
sentence. Jerry had tried thieving
burglary and forgery and had served
sentences for all of them and after
thinking things over had concluded to
make change. Reform was not iii
cluded in the change. Jerry strongly
believed that the world owed him a
living and that it was his constitutional
est way possible. He would keep right
on thinking so, but he would adopt a
new and safer line
abduction is the thing!' exclaimed
Jerry to his prison walls when he had
thought the matter all out. There's
more clean cash to be made In abduct-
ing some rich mans gal than in commit
ting half dozen burglaries, and the risk
is mere nothing. All you have to do is
to seize her, shut her up somewhere

and then produce her and lug away the
plunks - no publicity, no police, no
prison walls. The rest of the crowd
can go ahead on old lines, but it's abb
duction for me for the rest of my nat
ural life
Jerry hadn't been out of prison two
days when he hunted up his old part
ner, Mike Donovan, and gave him the
tip. Mike, too, was ready to drop old
lines and take up something new. He
had shown energy and ambition as a
burglar and had somewhat astonished
the police by stealing a steam boiler
left on the public street at night, but
had found there was no money in it.
He had figured it out that the beef
trust was making more in three sec
onds that he was in three years, and IL
he hadn't met Jerry he might have
opened saloon and sold wood alcohol
to his patrons.
The first thing was to find a rich man

Laughter Is undoubtedly one Of ma
lures greatest tonics. 1t brings the dis
ordered faculties and functions into
harmony; 1t inbricates the mental bear
ings and prevents the friction which

ders. 1t is divine gift bestowed upon
us as a life preserver, health promoter,
a Joy generator, a success maker. Life
with the average American Is too seri-
Gus at best. Never lose an opportunity
for relaxation from the stress and
strain of your business or profession.
Every draft Of laughter, like an air
cushion, eases you over the Jolts and
the hard places on LIES highway.
Laughter is always healthy. 1t tends
to bring every abnormal condition back
to the normal. 1t is panacea for
heartaches for lffe's bruises. 1t Is a

BL0oAIIN' KINDNESS"
sumed about three weeks time. The
pair finally found a rich man with a
daughter about sixteen years old, and
they looked upon the battle as half
won. At this point, however, they ran
short of funds, with the result that
they had to take Tommy Saunders into
partnership.
Tommy was a good sort-that is, he
was one of their sort. and just then he
had some money. He didn't explain
how he got into the house nor what
the haul amounted to. and his partners
didn't ask. There is etiquette even
among thieves.
Gents" observed Tommy after the
terms of partnership had been settled,
abduction is the thing. All you have
to do is to pick the gal up under your
arm and take a scoot to a place al
ready prepared, and at the end Of a
week her father gives up fifty thou,
and you deliver his darling birdie at
the kitchen door If it's Jerry Palmer's
plan-and he says it is-then all | can
say is that Jerry should take his place
among the greatest statesmen of the
country"
An old house in the suburbs that had
been tenantless for year was selected
as the hiding place, and then it only
remained to get hold of the girl Some
trouble was anticipated here. None of
the-trio had studied the habits of rich
mems daughters, and they were thus
at disadvantage.
Fortune favored them, however. The
very first evening they took up their
watch in the neighborhood of the house
they saw the daughter come out with a
over her head and was otherwise dis
guised. Just why this should be so
they didn't stop to figure, but when the
young lady came out ON the third even
ing she was seized in first class style,
bundled into an old hack and by great
good luck landed in the old house with
out an alarm having been given.
Jerry, Mike and Tommy agreed that
it was most skillful piece OF work.
True, the abducted had bitten Jerry's
thumb half off when be seized her. and
she had kicked the shins and scratched
the faces OF the other two during the
ride, but that only meant an additional
ransom. Her father would have to pay
5000 extra for that.

officious his companion would fall on
and worry him. All the trufiies do not
