OLD JAIL BIRD
 FALLS FROM GRACE
William KIine'S Step-Son Gets $50 and Leave Town-WaS
 Recently a Convict.

DOUGLAS. August 14.-(Special.)- )-
 Scott and Thornton are out twenty dollars and Mike Leahy of the Hub saloon ten dollars as the result of cashing checks in those amounts drawn on the First National bank by z Skalmer. step-son of William Kline of this c'ty, who recently had a diff. culty with Joseph Kline which ulti. mately got into court. Skalmer left town Saturday night and before leaving announced that he was going to Bowie with the intention of going from there to Globe.
 Telegrams have been sent out by victims Of Skalmer here which may cause his arrest on the charge of obtaining money under false pre- tenses- The checks when presented at the bank were returned endorsed account settled"
 Skalmer is pretty smooth article. He took particular pains to date his checks "9-10-1907" or just one month ahead of the date upon which they were cashed. The recipients of the cheeks did not notice this.
 skalmer's Crooked Record.
 It has leaked out since the Skal. mer-Kline troubles that Skalmer has a very shady record. In fact, it can be stated with certainty that Skalmer was recently a convict in the Arkan. sas penitentiary at Little Rork where he was serving term, said to be fourteen years for a crime committed in that state alleged to be forgery when Acting Governor X. o. Pin. dall was Induced to pardon him through the representations of VII liam and Joseph Kline and their law. yers in Little Rock, made at the time the two Kl.nes went east a few months ago. Governor Pindall par, doned Skalmer, it is said, upon the condition that he would leave the state and never return. He came al. most directly from the Arkansas pen. itentiary to Douglas and it was but a short time after he arrived here that he had a difficulty with Joseph Kline
 He is a son of Mrs. Kline and it is said that family has had much trouble with Skalmer and have on several occasions come to his rescue to get him out of trouble.

So her mother thought as she sat

had remained unbroken, but Lady Stor-

and they We're bitter and perplexed
That some mysterious but radical change
in mind and body had passed over her
daughter during that strange absence
and apparent suspension of her faculties
it was idle any longer to deny.
But she was naturally a woman of a
brave and hopeful temperament, and light
had already dawned upon her out of such
deep darkness that il was not unnatural
for her TO expect that some way would
be found out of these strange and new
perpleXitles. They would go abroad and
winter in Italy. II would be a new won
derland for Isobel. and it would be de-
hghtful TO witness her fresh joy in It.
Her newly awakened powers would gain
