BLACK JIM," THE CONVICT

district we always gave a convict a fair
start. He was told what would be re-
quired of him, advised to do his best
to please his master and given to under
stand that if he went straight We would
see that he had fair usage. I was inter-
ested in Black Jim at once. The law
had made a convict of him, but It hadn t
degraded him. He had kept an honest
face, a clear eye and a frank voice. and
I hadn't filled out his blank when I was
wondering how he could have been found
guilty OF crime. I detained him for a
minute to ask for his story.
Il haven't any, SIR he quietly an
swered.
You do not declare your innocence of
the charge

I saw that he did not mean TO give
me any particulars and therefore press
ed him no further. 1 had a more frank
talk with him about Stebbins than with
any of the others, however. ! had an
idea that Stebbins would be down on
him from the first because OF his su-
perior looks, and I went pretty thorough
ly into details. When 1 had finished the
prisoner said:
Il thank you, sir. and shall DO my best
to please"
Things came about as 1 feared. As
Stebbins inspected his gang he picked
Black Jim out for special attention. He
had little to say to the others beyond
making blood-curdling threats of what
would happen IL they didn't toe the
mark, but to Jim he said:

The president stated that this was a
question bound to come before the club
sooner or later and he would therefore
bring it up and hope to settle il once
for all, and to the satisfaction Of all
concerned. As for himself he did not
believe that riding the bike degraded the
cloth. True. a preacher might get into
the habit OF stopping at various roadside
houses and calling for two beers and OF
forgetting his humility when his ma
chine picked up a stray COW or attempted
to climb a stone wall. but he believed
they could be trusted to preserve their
dignity and position.
Brother Anthony Skinner expressed
his great surprise at the remarks of
the last speaker. His own pastor was
one of the first to ride the bike. and
II 1t had made any change in him il
was for the better. Preachers must have
recreation as we'll as other folks. To
keep them saving wood in the backyard
six days in a week and preaching on
Sundays would in time wear them out
He had learned in a class with a preach
er. and he had seen that man take a
fly and come down on a curve and shake
the earth for ten miles round, but vet
not a swear word escaped his lips. He
had been out with him on the road. but
there was no beer. He had seen him
scorch along beside a trotting horse, but
he did not get sporty. A preacher might
become gay in time IL he rode out on
the bike at night with three or four. fe-
male champions of the world. but even
then he would take the chances.
Brother Abraham Lincoln Bebee
thought the question a serious one. and
he had given IL much thought. While
he believed in personal liberty to the
furthest extent. the question was. How
does the bike effect the average bikest ?"
There was but one answer to that AS
soon as he began to tie the bottoms OF
his trousers preparatory to a spin his
feelings underwent a sudden change.
There was q sense Of exultation closely
