great desire to emulate Turpin, Shep-
herd, and the rest Of them.
He was born In Chester county,
Pennsylvania, in 1850, and was the
first great American highwayman, as
he probably was the most admirable.
He was more like Robin Hood than
any gentlemen Of the road of whom
there is record, for he was brave, chiv-
alrous and generous, and If he stole
from the opulent with one hand, he
gave to the needy with the other. One
cannot read his history without de-
ploring the fact that he took the left
hand trail when a lad; had he taken
the other, his bust might now be In
the Hall Of Fame
His first exploit was ''pulled OFF,
when he was schoolboy. He had a
number of cronles of his own age who
had grown up on bandit literature,
and they were all eager for action.
Hare proposed that they rob an old
mlserly farmer who lived in the neigh
bcrhood, and the boys agreed. One
night they went to the farmers resi-
dence, intent on pillage and found
him seated on the front porch, In his
nightrail, the heat having driven him
from the house. The boys waited for
hours, hoping the old man would 60
to bed, but he sat there as though
waiting for the end of the world. The
other boys experienced chill In their
feet, and wanted to 60 home: but Hare
said he had come forth to rob, and
was going to rob. So he stole quietly
to the porch, and found the farmer
was asleep. Then he entered the
house and rummaged around until he
had found $500, when he rejolned his
companions.
All his exploits were characterized
by similar daring. AS young man
he went to New Orleans to seek his
fortune. Upon landing there, in his
backwoods raiment he was ridlculed
by a group Of toughs. Hare walked
up to the biggest of the rowdies and
struck him In the face. Then there
was a fight that was talked about In
New Orleans for years. The big rowdy
was Bill Marshall, celebrated pugil-
ist of the time. He was forty pounds
larger than Hare, but the country boy
whipped him to a FRAGILE. Then pub
lie fight according to ring rules was
arranged for and a tremendous crowd
witnessed the conflict. Hare again
whipped Marshall, and retired from
the ring with q comfortable roll Of
money.
Throughout his career he preferred
his fists to firearms. Often he would
depend upon natures weapons wher
his life or liberty was at stake, and
when he had deadly weapons In his
oelt. On one occasion he was sur

with money and remorse, he decided
to go to Baltimore and become a mer,
chant prince. He made part of the
journey on a steamboat, and was
greatly annoyed by an opulent drover,
who persisted in flashing a big roll of
bills, and boasting Of his wealth. Be
ing full of virtue, Hare took the drov-
er aside and advised him to conceal
his money and do less talking. "There
are thieves on board all of these
boats" said Hare, ''and they are look
ing for such men as you" The drover
didn't take the advice In good part.
He boosted that he was able to take
care of himself, and he'd like to see
that thief who could despoil him. Here
upon Hare lost all patience with him,
and robbed him of $500, and left the
boat. He was pursued and captured
and served eight years in the peniten-
tiary for this little joke.
f'or many years he pursued his
course with comparatively few re-
verses; and the reverses usually came
to him because he would not use fire.
arms in self-defense. He might have
escaped capture on several occasions
had he been willing to shoot. When
ever he was In custody Hare preached
to his fellow prisoners good deal,
trying to impress upon them the fact
that the most improbable thing In the
world is a life Of crime. "The lot of
the meanest laborer in the land" said
he, 'is thousand times more enviable
than that Of the most successful Grim.
inal."
Returning to his native state after
seventeen years Of wandering and pill
lage, Hare was greatly distressed to
find that his younger brother had
adopted a career of crime, and was
the associate of thieves and gamblers
This hurt him more than any incident
of his career. With tears on his cheeks
he implCred and entreated the young
man to reform and be good, but in
vain. The youth had no use for the
path of virtue.
