JEAN VAL JEAN DUPLICATED.

A most remarkable case has just
come to light in Indiana. Jean Val
Jean Of Victor Hugo fame has q coun-
terpart In William McCarty, who left
North Yakima, Wash, for Indiana to
serve u the remainder OF 4 fifteen
year sentence. He vas sent to jail
for burglary, was paroled and subse-
quently broke his parole by getting
drunk ana hitting a man over the head
in = street fight. He fed the state.
Months afterward, after serving half a
dozen jail sentences and living like a
tramp. he drifted into North Yakima
and began attending Salvation Army
meetings. The strange, emotional
songs and impassioned preaching
'took hold" and after a time he joined
the army. Charles Churchill, convict
ed Of manslaughter, and Joe Fanney,
a murderer, went to the meetings with
him, but after he Joined they irifted
away and he lost track of them.
Soon after his conversion. McCar-
TVS conscience began to trouble him.
EARLY in June he wrote to Governor
Hanly of Indiana, telling him of the
circumstances of his escape from the
state and OF his intention to return
and serve out his sentence.
Come ahead" wrote Governor Han
ly in reply. "'Your broken parole will
mean a sentence of fourteen years,
but you have made me a promise.
Now fulfil It." There was no word
of q possible pardon or mitigated SEN
tence.
Within a few weeks McCarty had
earned enough to a for the long
trip to Michigan City and last We'd
nesday he started. He reached Chi
cago. had a long talk with Colonel
French. territorial secretary of the Sal
walton Army there, and then went on
to Michigan City.
Booze did the work for me" he
told Colonel French. Il was drunk
when 1 committed larceny and l was
drunk when l broke my parole. Now.

months. 1t is worth something 70

a big job for the state, found he needed
the votes of my colleagues to gain it.
He came to me.

and she must see him at nee.
The astonished secretary politely In

received when she replied:
No; but he will when he sees me.

The secretary, whose name does moi

for, although he had witnessed thou

Offices, he had never seer such perfect

She had a few lines of perfunctory in

could not be denied that she must SEE
him. The secretary suggested that she

l sent them the money, and in re-
turn received a dozen boxes of cheap
cigars, one dozen cigars in a box, and

I returned the samples to the mayor

operated by a few young men who had

would not be molested because no one

SOME OLD FAVORITES
NATHAN HALE.

BY Francis Miles Finch.
To drum beat and heart beat.
A soldier marches by;
There is color In his cheek,
There Ia courage In his eye.
Yet to drum beat and heart beat
In a moment he must die.
BY the starlight and moonlight,
He seeks the Briton's camp:
He hears the rustling nag
And the Hmed sentry's tramp;
And the starlight and the moonlight
His silent w%anderings lamp.
With slow tread AMI still tread.
He the tented line;
And he counts the battery guns,
By the gaunt and shadowy pine;
And his slow tread and still tread
Gives no warning sign.
The dark wave, the plumed wave.
1t meets his eager glance:
And it sparkles meath the stars,
Like the glimmer OF a lance
A dark wave, a plumed wave,
On an emerald expanse.
A sharp clang, a still clang.
And terror In the sound!
For the sentry, falconed eyed.
In the camp a spy hath found;
With a sharp clang, a steel clang,
The patriot Is bound.
With a calm brow and steady brow,
He listens to his doom;
In his look there is no fear,
Nor a shadow trace of gloom;
But with a calm brow and steady brow
He robes him for the tomb.
In the long night, the still night.
He kneels upon the sod;
And the brutal guards withhold
Zen the solemn words Of God!
In the long night, the still night,
He walks where Christ hath trod.
Meath the blue morn, the sunny morn
He dies upon the tree;
And he mourns that he can lose
But one life for liberty;
And in the blue morn. the sunny morn,
His spent wings are free.
But his last words, his message words
They burn, lest friendly y
Should read how proud and calm
A patriot could die,
With his last words, his message
words,
A soldiers battle cry.
From fame leaf and angel leaf,
From monument and urn.
The sad Of earth. the glad of heaven
His tragic fate shall learn;
And on fame leaf and angel leaf
The name Of Hale shall burn!
