King Henry, Sans Souci, lies at the

ruins, Sans Souci is grand and i'm

very high hills covered with tropical
trees among which run sparkling

gagged to be their accomplice in a bank
robbery about to be pulled off. The
two men-hardened criminals-knew
that a large shipment Of money had
been received at the local bank and
New Years night would be good
time to blow the vault. The two men
were experts in the profession. Bill
had .drifted in with them after he had
tramped for few weeks, begging for
something tc eat from house to house.
Discouraged, he had decided to ''throw

ed out into the night. They called to
him to stop, but Bill did not stop. A
shot rang out and bullet whistled
uncomfortably close to Bills head. He
ran and was soon lost in the dark
ness.
The next morning Bill crawled out
of an old shed and washed his face in
ice water. He started to hunt for
work. He was determined to find
work. A neat little cottage attracted
his attention. He knocked &C the back
door and asked the good looking
young woman who came to the door
for work. Il want work." he said. II

ment with such evident sincerity that
the young woman scrutinized him care
fully. "All right" she said. "You can
shovel road through that snowdrift
back of the coal house so the coal
man can put in load of coal this
afternoon"
Bill went to work. He worked with
a vision of the young woman and his
new resolution in mind. In an hour the
road was shoveled out. He was oon-
scious that pair Of brown eyes had
been watching him out of the kitchen
window. The work was hardly fin
ished before call came from the
back porch. Dinner was ready. In the
kitchen was small table with plates
laid for two. Bill sat down and tried
hard to eat as if he was not very hun
CRY. Slowly the young woman wormed
out of him part of the story of his
life. There was no hint of the job he
had come to town to pull off. He must
have work and he was going to work
in that town.
Bill did work. He got job through
the influence of the young woman. He
made good. He bought better clothes.
He made good appearance. A real
estate firm offered him a position as
salesman. He made good land sales
man and soon his commissions began
to pile up. He saved money. In two
years he was member of the firm
and more than that, he sat at the head
Of the table In the neat little cottage
where he found his first work. The
cottage had been enlarged.
In just twelve years from the day
Bill started to put his new resolution
through, he was elected president of
the bank that he came to town to
help rob.
