The man assured her that they

You mustn't think that this esca-
pade diverted Mulcahy from his origi-
al scheme, Only he wanted to be Of
use to the child, and he also saw
much better way of obtaining his ar
rest and entrance to prison.
The locket and chain he knew
would serve his purpose, for he in

had found her home. There were
four dollars and ninety cents left

standing at the door of her home
waving at him and smiling in her
sweet, frank way, he wondered how
he had found 1t In his heart to steal
the necklace; but there 1t was in
his hand, still warm from contact with
her throat.
Then he darted away from the
street, and, clasping the locket tightly,
few to the first police station and
gave himself up.
The judge did not conceal his dis
gust when he learned that Mulcahy
had robbed a child; and when he
uttered sternly, "Six months on the
island for him." he lnarveled at the
brutality of man who could smile at
the sentence.

The Jackson Business Mems

sensible move. No town should
allow the erection of wooden

Two years ago West Liberty had
a fire that destroyed the business

profted by the example. Wood

For Mulcahy, dazzled by liberty,

was free at last, but free to do what?
Free to kill himself before he starved

food and human things to talk to.
