his boon. Two bites Of the sandwich
were enough, but he gulped the cof-
fee. lie heard a Gospel meeting an

perhaps hoping for more coffee.
He sat through " large part of this
meeting in a kind of bestial slumber,
but with occasional lucid intervals
when he stared about stupidity, heard

ing idea of the picture of a clean
life that was being painted.
To be prepared Tor what follows II
must be borne in mind that Alias
Lucky Baldwin was man Of decision
of character, and all his life had been.
Within thirteen seconds after he de-
cided to do a thing that thing was
usually either done or doing. Action
followed swiftly upon the heels of
resolution, whether the thing resolved
was the stealing Of keg of beer or
the slugging of a policeman.
Now, as he listened in his maudl,n
way, some sense of what was happen
ing and what it all meant got through
Lucky's ridged and knotted skull. He
weighed it all swiftly against his own
game" and concluded that the new
scheme was better. The leader of the
meeting was deaf, and was wearing a
thing Ike a telephone receiver uDOn
his head.

dat I'm a comm" Lucky called out
as he rose and went lurching up the
aisle
He saI.k on his knees with row of
supplcants and was soon asleep, so
that when Mr., Wyhurn, the superin-
tendent Of the mission who himself
had been reclaimed from drunkenness
upon that floor, came to him he had to

a final clip with the club that Jared

time being his nerve We're gone. He
stood, shuddering, shivering, helpless
The policeman was right. He was a
bum. He could no longer hold up his
head like a self-respecting thief. Up
to that hour he had never doubted
himself. Now he admitted something
was queer He had played the game
wrong somewhere, but for the life of
him could not see where nor how. lie
tried to think, to devise new
game" but could not. His mind as
usual, was muddled by alcohol.
And yet II Lucky had been gifted
with clairvoyance he would have
known that the biggest trick he had
ever pulled off in all his life was COM
ing right up the BOwery to meet him;
but he had no such gift and he did
not divine what was impending. He
only stopped rubbing the sore spot
on his back with his right hand, and
began to curry 1t gently with his left.
1t got easier and he leaned against
a lamp post; but the cop must have
cracked him on the shoulder blade
also, for he flinched AT the weight of
his body on the iron and straight

well, for it put him on the alert.
And his fate was really coming up
the street coming in the Gulse of n
man who offered Lucky a ticket to the
Jerry McAuley Mission on Water
street. Lucky accepted the ticket as
in his state he would have accepted
"A bone offered him by a dog. but all
the while considered kicking the man
or the shins and going through him
to see what besides rescue mission
tickets might be in his pockets.
But In the meantime he heard with
amazement that by presenting the

impulses begot his crimes. He was a
mixture of cunning. courage and
prowess. Officers seldom got a hand
upon him; when they did he fought
and usually worsted them; and even
when they conquered they never
could convict him.
Drink played a greater and greater
part in his life. His first theft at
IL years of age of the keg of beer
seemed to have baptized his whole
career in the fumes Of alcohol.
Occasionally the necessity Of lying
low in New York or some vagrant
wanderlust caused him to roam out
over the country. and wherever he
went he contrived to get himself em-
broiled and to do things that made
men put a price upon his head, He
even became a strike breaker. Prob
at there is nothing in Lucky's
past OF which he is more ashamed
than this. But the dash of adventure,
the large pay and little work, with
the promise of "A head cracking fight
every day, appealed TO him as it does
to hundreds of his kind.
Upon one strike breaking occasion
Lucky started for San Francisco as
one of Farley's lieutenants, but he
arrived there in chains, guarded by
sixteen deputies armed with Win
chesters, who gave out that he was
one of the most desperate criminals
ever brought into that city. Just
what Lucky had attempted en- route
ought not to be set down very broadly
here, but 1t was one of the most des-
perate enterprises of his life. As
usual, however, his lucky star was
twinkling brightly and he went free
After a time he drifted back to the
Bowery and to his old tricks. But
the years were passing, Twenty-Five
years Is a long time in the criminal
world. Lucky's enterprises began to
miss fire. His "work" grew coarser.
He fought as bravely as of yore, but
he was beaten oftener. He grew
grabbed and morose. His pals, the
policemen on the beats, the very
women on the street began to whis-
per that old Father Time was get

Time at 81! 1t was not Father Time.
1t was Uncle John Barleycorn.
One night Lucky stuck a man up
and took s35 from him. 1t was his
last trick. In forty-eight hours he

terrible thirst were gnawing him, He

To his surprise the drunkard rose
up hotly, his face like a red and angry
sun. II ain't no Republican," he de-
clared with a look Of loathing; then
added proudly, I'm a Democrat"
This revealed two things, the mans
deplorable ignorance and his admirable
loyalty. Lucky was an adherent of
the Tammany organization. Here was

Republican prayer to get himself out

Yet Lucky did pray that night, and

strangest that had ever come to him.
He thought Of his wasted life,

terrible remorse overwhelmed him
while he dreamed II times of getting
some honest work to do among Chris

after his new resolutions there in the
mission never once occurred to him.

played one string out to the end. Now
he was entering upon another.
