n was not Jim Wilson's fault that
he was born with a game leg. But
II was Jim's fault that the game leg
nroyed his undoing. Reared in all the
Injury of southern affluence before
the war, he had squandered first his in
hpritance, then a competence earned
hv shrewd speculation, and, finally, a
snug ten thousand dollars wrung
hom it's rightful owners by series
of tricks that form in themselves a
Story of human perversity, but are
without Importance in this account.
These tricks were the third degree in
his career, however, for they landed
shin behind the bars; and when "Lim-
NV" Wilson returned to his old haunts
he fell to the lowest plane. He de-
yeloped into frst-class sneak thief,
expert in lifting" costly wraps and
furs from unoccupied carriages, from
theatre boxes and hotel parlors. How
he accomplished these slick abstrac-
tons was more than the average in
diyidual could understand. 1t was his
\ beautiful assurance, his unobtrusive
approac CHI and departure, his suavity
and grace that made him for time
the foremost exponent of his art But
he went down hill steadily, and when
New York became too hot, Chicago,
wealthy and wide open, welcomed him
to the ranks Of the pickpocket and
the purse snatcher.
Jim had two passions: first, his un-
comfortable mania for theft; second,
and dominating much of his life, lit
tie Alice, daughter by his second wife,
who kept for him the tiny apartment

| would have been easy of accomplish
ment.
He came out on the next street, d.
rectly opposite station OF the ele-
, waited. Without reason, but follow
ing the instinct that had 50 often led
him to his quarry, he climbed the
stairs, passing on tip-toe the ticket
chopper doing in his warm booth, A
stylishly-dressed young man paced the
platform, waiting for a train south.
Cold as it was, he carried his over
coat on his arm, swinging it carelessly.
Jim stood directly in the mans path,
at the head Of the stairs, and waited
until the coat brushed against him.
Then giving it quick twist with both
hands he tossed it lightly over the
rail.
The man gave a cry of astonish-
ment, but of what avail? There were
none to hear. He was alone on the
brilliantly-lighted platform. For In
one bound Jim was down the first
flight of stairs, and in another was on
the street. Ten minutes later, after a
mile of quick and devious travelling,
he descended into foul-smefling
basement and handed the coat over to
"Mother Isaacs" for inspection. 1t
was a beautiful broadcloth, silk lined,
with fur collar and cuffs. 1t was
worth ten dollars, at least. But the
Jewess sneered in his face, and he
was glad to take the six silver dollars
she flung upon the counter. 1t was
little enough, but it would help. Three
dollars must 60 for rent, and two

mined that Alice should be comfort
able. That left a dollar-hardly
enough for chicken, much less tur-
key. And the trimmings? He thought
about it for some time. There was
only one thing to do-swipe the tur-
key from a store.
Like all criminals Jim was supersti-
tious, and in the past few weeks he
had encountered many bad omens.
Caution was a part of his very fibre.
But he could not disappoint the little
girl. For Alice he must run the risk.
After an hours tramp he found the
place-a market store with a row OF
hooks outside, on which hung doz-
en- turkeys. He came boldly up the
street, selected the last bird in the
row, and without break in his gait
passed into the darkness, the bulky
burden thrust under his coat.
1t was raw winters night.
The moon shone at intervals through
scurrying clouds. Enough snow had
fallen to whiten the streets. Jim
limped toward home, chuckling with
delight. In an alley he stopped to
wrap the bird in sheet Of paper,
begged for that purpose. 1t would di--
vert suspicion, for he had still to get
the trimmings; and these he pur-
chased at small store close to the
house. Thus weighted, and with a
light heart, he climbed the stairs and
entered the dark room. Alice was
asleep, but when he had made light
he Weakened her, and with tugging
heart strings watched her shining
ewes as she inspected the supplies: ut
is a fine bird" he said glibly. Il Sc

on the West Side, in the very heart OF
the Polish quarter. During her ten
years of life Alice had never WaVered
in absolute alteration of her father,
and Jim returned her affection TO the
limit of his nature.
They say that criminals are born,
not made. 1t is true saying, IN Jim
case, at least. AS boy he was IN no
way abnormal, adhering IN all re-
spects to the proud traditions OF MS
stiff-necked father, who owned proau
acres in Mississippi and ruled his nun
dreds of well-kept slaves with 1rm
generosity. There was no mother. she
died during Jim's infancy. But at NJ
teen came sudden passion for money.
His monthly allowance was too slen.
der for his expensive tastes. lie must
have more. He thought about it night
and day. And then cropped out a
strain of low cunning that had shown
at intervals in his paternal ancestry
for generations uncounted. He formed
his plans deliberately, and one night
during his fathers absence he entered
the library. broke open the little iron
safe, and decamped with upwards OF
a thousand dollars in cash.
Ten years later Jim returned to the
plantation. Here he found strangers,
from the North, to whom his father
had sold the family home. To his
credit be it said that he wept over the
old mans grave, and again when the
County Judge turned over to him, IN
securities and cash, all his father s
property, for there was no will and
Jim was the only heir. He had left
home boy; he returned man, ex.

in the paths of crime. But his sud
denly-acuuired wealth, his reconec-
lions Of his father, and contact with
old and forgiving friends, seemed to

In Craft-Ridden Philadelphia.

But the women of Philadelphia were
equally active. Their aid was solicit
ed by the city party in the great work
of reform, to secure for the citizens
an honest, decent administration, and
a physically clean city. And right
well they did their work. In nearly
every one of the forty-two wards
they assembled in enthusiastic crowds,
and listened to addresses from promi-
nent women speakers, including Mrs.
Rudolf Blankenburg, Mrs. Owen Wis
ter wife of the author of "The Vir-
ginian'), and Miss Jennings, sister-in-
law of Mayor Weaver. In the Toledo
Morning Times appeared the following
trenchant comment on this feature
of the Quaker City campaign:

"The man can do it but will not;
We are bound hand and foot, but for
tunately our tongues are not tied,
said Mrs. q. A. knollenberg, Of Rich
mOnd, Indiana. A bitter fight was on
for the election of Mayor of that city.
The present incumbent, whose private
and public life is obnoxious to the
better element of the town, was up for
reelection. For eight years the poll
teal machine had backed the Mayor,
a mere tool in the hands of unscrupu-
lous leaders. The forces of good gov
eminent seemed on the very verge OF
defeat, when the women arose in their
might, twelve hundred strong, demand
ing that their little city be controlled
by men of clean character-that good
instead of evil, honesty instead Of
graft, decency instead Of indecency,
be the watchwords.
They held great mass meeting and
made stirring speeches. 1t was not a
question of politics; it was the moral
sentiment Of the community speaking
through it's wives and mothers. And
it was effective. The Mayor went
down to defeat. Said leading paper:
''The women of Richmond made the
result possible. The tide began to
turn when the women met and in be-
half of womanhood and the sanctity
of the home protested against the con-
tinuanee of the present regime. 1t
was not until then that the real i'm
port of the fight was felt"
