CHAPTER-SX

vnaruEs or imcESsmt.

At this point fat Mr. Drantfs ad ventures ho ought to how root tho emergency with calmness aiul a toady wit. |io hod oortalnly experienced quit® enough of oncoontora with tho police} bat, law-abiding oltlzon that ho was, having an Innate and cultivated respect (or tbo guardians of tho peace and faro banks, tbo moro ho eooountorod their powor tbo weaker he woo to resist them. Therefore, when bo waa hustled oat of tho good old parson's 8tody ho went with a blind acquleaconco to cruol fates fntnt eonscia recti,

but very much cost

down nevertheless. In tbo hallway of tho parson's boose, however, ho pulled hlmsolf together and demanded tho causo of his arrest. The policemen wero by no moans willing to explain they really believed that thoy had a dangerous maniac on hand, and Jimmy, tho reporter, was on tbo qui tan to get a good news ltom and a reward at the same timo. However, as Mr. Drone resisted, Jimmy finally prod tcod this telegram from a New York newspaper: "Jlush interview with Drnna. Man held hero proved to bo sano and not tho right one.'

Just one ray of joy sbono against tho dark background of Mr. Drone's prospects in this dispatch—tho tramp, improperly confined as insane at his instanoo, had been released. Thinking of that as of one sin which had been forgiven, Lowrenco bowed bis hood and aocompanicd tho policemen out of doors. An officer was at either elbow and Jimmy pranoed along behind. As Mr. Drane was very quiet no especial attention was attracted until thoy camo to tbo door of tho Heaver Ilouao. Thero a man was slowly descending the stops, looking vastly worried and out of sorts. It was tho tramp. Eo had Mr. Drane'B clothes on and ho appeared to bo in bard luck. When he saw tbo officers and their convoy sailing down tho street ho stopped suddenly and looked hard at tbo prisoner with a wildly angered expression on his face. It was but a moment that the tramp stood, thus, but in that moment bis reasoning faculties went through a tremendous operation. This was about tho substance of it: "Hello! there's Lawronoc Drane! I Stole bis clothes and tus name and married in both of them on awfully rich widow. Ho got back at mo by stealing his clothes again and getting mo in hock, llo even inveigled mo into an lnsano asylum. Ho is ovon now suspected of beir.jj a lunatic. Now I know that he is not only sane, but that I bavo been the cause of bis misadventures. I further know that tho Kansas City men who declared this morning that I was not Drano, will be here by tho next train from New York and will free tbis man from all his troubles. Ho is tremendously rich and good-natured. D— me if I don't do him a good turn."

This chain of reasoning was so speedily accomplished that by tho timo Lawrence and the policemen wero opposite the Beaver House door, the tramp had resolved upon his course of action. Ho ran down tho stops poll-rooll, seized Lawrence by the hand and exclaimed: "Well, well I to sco you ogam :vnd in this shape! I'm delighted and everlastingly reiiovedl" "Oh! you are, aro you?" responded Lawrence, as tho policemen paused. "1600 that you aro at tho upper end of tho teotcr-board at present."

Ho would have said moro in expression of his bitterness, but tho tramp interrupted: "Officers, I don't think you havo any right to hold this man. I know him. He is my only brother. His namo is Lawronco Drano, ol Kansas City, and I am his brotbor John, oomo on to take caro of him. 1 demand that you show me your authority for arresting him before you tako him any further."

This, of oourso, was a stumper for tho policemen. They hod no authority whatever. "Hut," said ono of tbc«n, "how about that reward?"

At this moment a button in Mr. Crane's Bowery suit gave way. Jimmy, of oourso, had explained tho prospective reward to tho policemen and had hold out its terms as induce-

rocnts for their action. Nolthor Mr. Drano nor tbo tramp know oxaotly what to do. "Well, tbo fact is," began Mr. Drano. "Yon understand," said tho tramp at the samo moment, "Sir. Drano is not a crazy man ho is my friond and relative." "But," interrupted again ono of tho polieomon, "that reword? Wo don't proposo to stay out all night loolring for this gent and the reward without soma return.''

And hero Mr. Drone's right knee bo-

gan to poep through his trousors. Ills economical suit was coming rapidly and naturally to pieces. "Does It look very bod?" ho whispered to tho tramp, as ho folt seam In tho bock burst. "It looks like bloody murdee," said tho tramp, tn on undertone "and spooking of that, bow do you think those Kansas City rondo pantaloons of yours fit mo?" "Toll *om you'll glvo "em a chock at tho Boovor House at throo o'clock this afternoon," whispered Lawrenoo.

Tbo tromp knowing that Lawrenoo bad Jots of money foil into this plan, and tbo polioo, knowing that thoy had no tutbority, immediately disappeared. Hut not so Jimmv. Jimmy bung on until the tramp assured him that ho and Drone wero going to tho parson's house toolucidoto together ono or two problems that wore not yet clear to either ot them. During all thoconTorsation that this Involved, Lawrenoo discreetly kept his mouth shut, and presently Jimmy dashed off presumably to give a column of oopy to his newspaper for tho last edition. After this the two men paused Da the sidewalk and Mr. Drano began: "My dear man, thoro is something obcmt you, in addition to my clothes, which mokes mo think that you aro or ought to bo a gentleman." "Sir," responded the tromp, "thero Is something about you besides that Illfitting Bowery suit that mokes mo regard you as destined to bettor things than yu havo endured during tbo past wook."

Then both men laughed and after that they shook hands heartily. "1 say," sold Lowrenco, "what Is your name, and how tbo unmentionable fiond did you get into a tramp's life?" "My name," responded tho other, "is plain Johnson, baptised Richard J. I was at ono timo a country schoolmaster, which may account for my lapses into fairly correct English when I talk. Scboolmasterlng, I found, did not pay for a man who had acquired champagne tastes on a beer income, and so I determined to travel. Experience of an unusually severe nature undermined my convictions respecting meum et harm, and I therefore descended to theft. But His only fair to explain that this doscent in morality came from tho fact that soon after I gave up school-tcach-ing I went into politics." "Unfortunate," murmured Mr. Drano. "I was an alderman," continued tho tromp, "and I voted various franchises to railroad corporations ami escaped indictment I never knew how. Then, having my hands in the public treasury, otherwise the peoplo's pockets, for two or three years, I lost all sense of decorum and booesty." "You aro to bo pitied, not condemned," said Mr. Drone. "So," continued the tramp, "1 am not oltogether bad. That, with your kindness, you seem to 8ee but tho fact is that if I had always worn as good clothes as theso of yours, 1 would not havo been tempted to commit tho crimes that have brought troublo upon you." "That is doubtless true," answered

Mr. Drane, dubiously recalling bis peculiar adventures: "but it was very wrong of you to tako away not only my garments but my name and credit as welL" "Ah, sir," replied Mr. Johnson, smiling. "it is an old saw that 'necessity knows no law.' But let us not waste timo in argument. 1 camo hero to seek my wife, and when I bavo found her you shall bo fully repaid in money for tho misery which I liave caused you."

They had been walking along Indoterminodly, and hero Mr. Drano stopped. "Johnson," ho said, "you are in a bad fix. Your wife is not only poor financially, but so badly off that sho wants to claim mo for a husband."

Johnson opened his mouth wido with amazement, and as ho know not what to say, Lawrenco continued: "Whatever claim sho had to riches sho abstracted from onother person, as you took my clothes. I have seen her this morning. Sho claims to bo Sirs. Drano, and—" "You Infernal scoundrelP' oxcloimod Johnson, and ho seized Mr. Drano by tho collar. "Hlch or poor, sho is my wife, and if you havo gono and got her away from me I'll break your back ond put you in tho asylum again to boot."

Mr. Drano shook oit bis antagonist easily. "Don't you call mo names,"ho cried, "or I'll havo you arrested for tho ft t"

Johnson cooled down atonoe. '••\Vhorc*B my wife?" ho asked presently. "Como with me," said Mr. Drano, "and Til show you," and ho forthwith led tho way to tho porson's houso. Just as thoy arrived at tho door two mon hurried up who greeted Lawrenoo effusively. They wero rolatlvoa of bis from Kansas City, arrived by a way train from New York, Johnson having oaught an express at the sarao hour. The relatives looked at Lawronco sharply and soomod to wondor whothcr bo was all right or not, but ho refrained from explaining himself trntll thoy had como again into tho parson's iv.
