THIS LADS CRAVING FOR GOOD FOOD GOT
HIM INTO CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE
BY JANE Whitaker

In a cell in the County Jail, alone
with his thoughts, a boy charged
with burglary is awaiting the action
of the grand jury and crying out his
fear of punishment, his loneliness, MS
regrets, his excuses, while he humor-
ously yet pfteously blends in his let
tiers to his one friend his healthy ami
NAL craving for good food that
doesn't desert him even in the terror
of remorse.
If it can be said that there are
ever excuses for crime, life has Offer
ed this boy a few.
He has been an orphan for several
years; his best friend, his older Sis
ter, is dead. Another sister is shall
low-minded, plying not the plight of
the boy, but herself for the disgrace
he has brought upon her. His broth
ers so far have done nothing for him.
The home of his older sister was
closed to him by his brother-in-iaw
as soon as the sister was placed in
her grave and the boy was thrown
out, without work or money, on to
the streets
He came under the influence of bad
company, youthful desperadoes who
persuaded him, when he was hungry,
to join them in their crime of robbing
a drug store.
And for almost three months he
knew secret fear and remorse and
even little of the comfort of beHev-
ing he would never be found out or
have to pay for his one criminal act,
and then the shadow covered him
and he was arrested.
