Porter Presents Rules of Club

Porter had drafted the rules of the
club. A copy lay at each place with the
little cartoons he made OF us. Funny
little verses were scrawled under the
figures. Each Sunday we had different
place cards.
Porter's raillery was boundless.
Raider and | were the only ones who
acknowledged ourselves guilty. Louisa,
Porter, lkey and old Carnot were ali
victims Of circumstances. They were
touchy about their pasts. And so the
cartoonist drew them as cherubs, friars,
lilies without stain. and the dewdrops
g~Iistening on their white sheafs.
Not one of those men, and they were
Porter's equal at least in social position,
dared to take liberties with him. j
think they held him In a sort Of awe.
His dignity was invulnerable. Old Car
not would have liked the same respect.
He never got 1t. Billy Raider never
tired Of puncturing his pompous self
esteem, But Billy would have died
rather than wound Bill Porter.
Old Carnot did not want any one even
to mention the fact that he was In the
penitentiary. He would buster and
sputter when n one spoke OF him as
an ex%-convict. Every Sunday there was
an argument about 1t. Raider, Just for
the impish love Of teasing the old man,
would open it.

artistic world-but n Born original, He
loved freedom ana unconventional so

he could warm up, whisper out his

ed itself. He founded the "Recluse
club"
Six %convicts. three of them bank rob-
hers, one forger and two train robbers,
made up Its membership, We met on
Sunday In the construction office. And
society had graver, brighter, happier
discussion-never an epioure's retreat
served a more delicious menu than our
Sunday repasts.
The embezzelers had been men OF
great wealth, They were educated and
to bring out the best In Bill Porter. He
was king Of that exclusive club.
II was n Sunday, three weeks after

office, that I was invited to join.
