known before he arrives about what
sort OF man he is, and he is some

stranger had entered big dry goods
store and held up the cashier, obtained
something like $4,000 and got into the
street. He would have made good his
escape but for ali accident. AS it was,
he got hair a mile away before being
captured. The money was not found
on him, but there were half dozen
persons to swear TO his identity.
The prisoner, who gave his name us
james DraytOn, decided that Il mist AXE

Gus, honest man.
Neverthp he was sentenced to
state prison for five years. and the
judge read him severe moral lecture
from the bench IN addition The pls-

whole community felt that the law had
made grieyous mistake, but there
was a squirt OF reform on.
The deputy at X prison had read a

TO discover quite the contrary.
Drayton was In the prime of life,
clear eyed and frank faced, and he had
nothing to say against his sentence.
He seemed to realize that the time had
gone by for that In the department
to which he was assigned he made
such q record that after a year he was
appointed a "trusty." He had served
almost two years of his time before
the deputy heard his story. 1t had the
ring of truth, and the officer believed

The best way to keep black leather
shoes from looking worn and also
from breaking is to dip a small flannel
rag In olive oil and rub It into the
leather. If 1t needs further rubbing or

and go over It. This method is good
