By ALBERT f. HUNT.

I WAS in the District Attorneys office
atter hours the other day. when I
noticed. a crooked iron bar lying on
a table. It was holding down some
papers, the corners Of which fluttered
the warm breeze that drifted through
the open window, and a spur of curios-
ity came over me as I recognized it
as a burglars Jimmy"
. The place was sultry and silent ex-
cept for the drowsy hum from the
streets below and the click-clack of a
typewriter somewhere across the corri-
DOR, and I fell into a lazy speculation
as 20 what tales that implement of
crime might not unfold IL gifted with
speech. How long I sat there in reverie
and how many fantastic stories con-
structed around the thing L do not
know, but suddenly a sound aroused
me and q metallic voice punctured the
stiffness.

'sinmy' on the table, was alone. The
voice went on and, strangely enough,
as I listened all wonder passed from
me This Is what ] heard
Il was born of poor but dishonest
parents and my career OF crime began
fright Of. My first boss was Jerry
Quinn. You remember him-but, no.
that was before your time. Well, he
was all right. liked Jerry. for he
couldn't be made 10 show the white
feather by anything on this moldy
old earth, and he was big hearted
burglar who never killed a man unless
it was hiss life or the others. He
loved me, Jerry did. And everybody
loved him-eVen the police, in a sort
OF admiring way. you know, till he
poked one OF 'em on the head for being
little too inQuisitive, and then they
downed him. Then a young fellow
named Thorpe took me up.
Wen, Thorpe was q quiet sort-he
didn't talk much. and when be did il
was IN a high stylesand showed he knew
heap more than the others. He was
a pretty boy, too, and dressed like a
swell, but he had the real stuff in him.
Plucky2 He was more. than that. Be
fore I'd been with him a week he had
me guessing atfwhat made him crook,
for T. knew he wasn't born to il, and
burglars are born just like you writing
fellows. There amt any factory that
turns 'em out

get up TO his room he'd sit there by the
hour with his head in his hands, Just

he always carried in the inside pocket
Of his vest-on the left side-and read
and read and read. He did that every
night. but sometimes he had to quit
because something went wrong with his
eyes. No, 1 don't know what IL was.
He was just a crook--a house breaker,
you know-snd some OF 'em have queer
ways.
anyhow, one night got after that
letter"

will always be that to me. What I
am about to say cannot be unexpected
after my studied coldness to you. But
it seems you will not understand, for
last night again you asked me to be
your wife.
Your wife! What vistas of happi-
ness lie in those two words! But, dear
Ned, it cannot be. No, never,-harsh as
the words may seem-for. Ned, we are
both paupers. and long ago 1 resolved
that If ever 1 should wed it would be

So it is best for both OF US. dear, to
end it now. You will understand, won't

Jimmy when 1 had finished In a
day or two 1 forgot all about the let

1 tell you. Thorpe and some of the
others had made some good sized hauls,
but they kept talking about big one
they were going to pull off somewhere
way up town. Well, the night came
and it was a dirty one, raining like the
devil. Thorpe had the Job in hand
and he did 1T up right. He pulled me
out OF his clothes-that's where I lived
and had a back window open in half
a wink.
He held me tight and navigated
toward the front room, but he hadn't
gone four steps over the sill before he
struck against something and stopped
hard and sudden. Just then it seemed
to me that / heard queer noises up
stairs, like sobs and means. Thorpe
gave a short gasp. Then 4 could feel
him passing his hand along something
in the middle of the room-the thing
he had bumped into, thought. All
at once he struck light, bent over
and looked hard at the thing, let out
yell, and pitched head first to the
floor"
Well had good nap. old chap?"
1t was the voice of my friend, the
District Attorney

long time to the extreme now prevail
ing in the more fertile states.
The farm of the future in Florida
will be Il large one, and land is never
very high in price until it is thickly
occupied. When the lands of F1Ori-
da are covered with people in the
proportion that they will support,
when the cultivating people are fully
occupied. when the science of farm
ing is applied, when every acre is
used for all there is in it, when fer
tilizing and intense cultivation are
the rule, then the price of Florida
land will go to a higher figure than
anywhere else in the country
There is another point to be con-
sidered. Properly handled, the land
of Florida becomes richer and more
valuable with every succeeding year.
because proportion of the fertilizer
employed goes into the soil and stays.
The subsOiling of green stuff. and con-
slant accretiOn of commercial and
barnyard fertilizers, will raise the
value of the soil. On the other hand,
the naturally fertile soil of certain
other sections will be handled in a
way to cause it to steadily deterior-
ate. 1t will be washed away by the
storms. sapped of its fertility by con-
stant cropping without restoring the
Dlant-grOwing power. and eventually
a balance will be established Florida
land will always be growing better
and other land growing poorer. The
selling prices will at some juncture
he the same. The ensuing years will
see the balance turn in favor of FlOri-
da. and it will therefore always con-
tinue that way. Our land will pro-
duce two or three crops year, while
other land can be made to produce
but one
