A NOVEL GOOD SAMARITAN
He Carries on a Great Work Among Criminal Glasses Under Cover
 of Silence.

Somewhere in this broad country of ours there is a man quietly and silently working among the fallen and degraded ones of earth and accom-. plishing wonderful results. He is a man of stern initiative with great courage of conviction and the meth ods he uses in doing his work are simple and essentially logical.
 For years he has been moving among criminals of all descriptions, raising them to a respectable posi- ton and starting them again along the path of virtue. His method, a little peculiar, is very simple. He meets the criminal on his own level, extracts a confession from him, gets his confidence and treats him as an equal For drug fiends, drunkards and that class of criminals he ob- tains medical treatment, establishes them in good physical health, gets them a job and places them on a footing level with the active, self respecting world. They respect this treatment and treat him square in return, and seldom ever do they go back to their former life of crime.
 
 This kind of work our novel Good Samaritan considers recreation and adventure, and the good works he has done along these lines can never be estimated. Seldom does he fail in converting a case and the most unique side of his methods is that he entertains these poor fallen ones at his home with all the honor and respect due to men and women of honor and good reputation. The drunk ard, drug fiend, safe cracker, Mag dalen and professional crook are all represented among his converts.
 The strangest thing about this man Is that he refuses to let his whereabouts or identity be known to the general public. He prefers to work silently and unknown to fame.

When Alphonse presented himself breathless, at the ticket office of the steamship company, from behind 8 pair of large spectacles there gazed down at him two keen gray American eyes.

 "Oh, monsieur, wish a stateroom on your next steamer sailing for Havre," he said. "and wish above all to secure for my passage the room number thirty-three."
 The clerk shook his head.
