BALANCE WAS STRUCK
by JOHN MATTHEWS.

John Halves muHched his twenty
cent supper with the furtive irresolu-
ton Of the ex-jail bird that he was.
Three years in prison leaves its stamp
upon . man, and the .lockstep, the
dropped avoice, the shrinking from
men, the automatism Of action follow
the released convict as mute wit
nesses to his past.
Reform the prisoner" say some.
Associations have been founded with
this beneficent object. John Halves
smiled bitterly at the thought. He
had been bookkeeper; he had stolen
a paltry sum to provide comforts for
his sick wife. He was as honest at
heart as before his temptation arose.
But during the two months that had
elapsed since his release he had been
bounded down by the detective force
whenever he sought to earn an honest
living and to forget the past. Three
times he had obtained situations, only
to be told, at the end Of the week,
that his services were required no
longer.
His wife had never visited him in
prison. He had never seen his son.
Minnie's last words to him before
they took him away had been of for.
giveness; but Minnie's father was not
the type that can condone having a
Jail bird for a son-in-law. He had ia
ken her away, and Minnie, for the
boys sake, had had to accept his
dictum that she should choose be-
tween him and her husband, between
wealth and a future for little Frank
and poverty with an ex-criminal
Halves had never been able to find
any trace Of her.
Now, desperate and bitter, he ate
his cheap meal in silence. The last
Of his money was gone. And SIMS
ter voices had been whispering in his
ears.
There was Red" who had served q
half dozen sentences for burglary
He had shown Halves. with whom he
had been in the penitentiary, In 9
rough, well-meaning way the folly o.
trying to live down his past.
They say 1t don't pay" said Red.
who says 1t does? Who WOULDN'T
live a straight life II he had thu
chance? But what chance has a mar
who's done time, with the bulls ready
to tip of his boss by Saturday night
