James Randall, standing at his gar
den gate, was at peace with all the
world that sunny morning in early
summer. His wife and daughter were
at church; he himself had been kept in
by a cold, but the weather was SO
the garden. AS he stood there, secure
in his sense of social integrity, not a
memory of the past troubled him.
Up the street came a tramp. Ran
dali frowned. Tramps were not en-
couraged in that suburban district,
which prided itself upon its social or
der. The man stopped at the gate and
regarded him quietly.
Got a dime to spare, mister?" he
asked
Randall's hand sought his pocket. 1t
was his instinct to be charitable, but
on second thought he refrained. The
man might be an impostor. No man
needed to be out of work these days.
81 guess there was time when you
done your bit of panhandling," said the
beggar, sneering.
Randall looked at him with growing
horror, clutched at the bars of the
gate and breathed like man with apo
plexy
yes, Jim, it's Mcknight said the
tramp Il found you at last, and
guess I'm going to talk to you. chose
Sunday because, hearing you was a
church warden, guessed you wouldn't
want folks to see us together. There's
an hour yet before your folks come
home. You see," he added, with a
grin, 81 got you pretty well down in

black and white before l come here"
Come into the garden said Ran
dali feebly
The tramp followed him in, and they
sat down on the bench in front of the
living room. The tramp could see into
the neatly furnished house.
Sort Of spick and span, amt it?"
said the tramp "A little different
from the state penitentiary, l guess.
Maybe your memory carries you back
fifteen years?" he added, banteringly.
What do you want? Blackmail?
demanded Randall roughly.
The tramp put out bony hand and
gripped him by the shoulder.
More" he said laconically. 81 want
the thing you hold dearest in life, Jim.
No, not your life, your reputation. I'm
going to put you out of your home and
make you ashamed to meet the eyes of
your neighbors you-you blackguard,
you curl"
Randall did not say word, but shiv-
cred upon the seat as If struck by
ague, in spite of the sun.
Fifteen years ago." the tramp con-
tinued, twisting his mouth as If a
spasm of pain was racking him, you
and was inmates of the penitentiary.
Correct? l see it is. l was serving
three years for robbery, and you-you'd
stolen thousands from them that trust
ed you, and had sentence of fifteen
years You'd just about have come
out now II we hadn't-hadn't-"
His voice broke. Randall might
have tried to take advantage of his
weakness to plead with him, but he
only sat dumbly beside him.
II was dying of tuberculosis, con
tinued the other presently. When
they transferred us to the new peni,
Tertiary you made me a proposition,
If we'd change names and sentences,
1t wouldn't matter to me, because I'd
soon be dead, and you swore you'd
look after my little girl as long as you
lived-she that was alone in the world,
that hadn't any chance in life but that
of an asylum orphan. You swore it.
Well! You liar, you hound, where is
Lily? Did you ever find herr"
Randall still returned no answer,
you didn't, you dog!" swore the
tramp, clenching his fists. 81 waited
and waited for the message that was
to come to me and never came Then
l determined that | wouldn't die. I'd
serve out my fifteen years-your flf
teen years-and I'd come back, and
first I'd find her, and then I'd take your
life. Where is she? What have you
done with her? Or did you never try
to find herr"
The struggle upon the others face
was terrific, but still he refrained from
answering. After a few moments the
tramp cooled, he seemed possessed by
q devil Of vengeance.
II meant to take your life" he said
81 thought I'd find you among the kind
you used to mix with. But when
tracked you here and found you was
respected, a church warden, and the
head of the Young Peoples league, and
all that sort of graft, and had wife
and girl, saw your measly life wasn't
any use to me. ] resolved to take
other means. First I'll ruin you, and
then I'll hound you back to the peni-
Tertiary to serve out your fifteen
years"

According to Dr. S. Kreinermann of
Basel, Switzerland, Jews have physi-
cal predisposition to diseases of the
lungs. but they everywhere show a
considerably lower morbidity and NOR
tality from consumption than are found
amoung Gentiles, He attributes this
to their temperance; to a relative i'm.
munity acquired through the weaker
of their race having succumbed in
earlier generations; to their ritual OBJ
servance of cleanliness and to the high
esteem in which the physician is held
among them.
