By CHARLES B. LEWIS (M. QUAD'. (C’op) rlKht. 1MM. by Charles B. l^wis.] When I was 12 years of a^e, a stepfather came to preside over the destinies of onr small household. There would have been no trouble between us if be hadn't wanted to drive me out into tbc world to favor his own plans. Fora year he used me like a dog, beating me on the slightest pretext and making life miserable, and then came a climax. One day when I was hoeing corn 1 broke the blade of the old hoe. It was an accident and nothing .o raise a fuss about, but be was in the Held with mtr. and he grabbed up a root and advanced to strike me. Without realizing what I was doing 1 r.wung the hoe handle around my head and struck him. The broken iron at the end not only broke his nose, but do-

CLOTHES.”

stroyed the sight of his right eye, and when he fell down and I saw what I had done I made a l>ee line for the highway and became a runaway and an outcast. 1 was a hundred miles away before 1 felt safe to apply for work, and it was a year ater, and I had passed through the hands of three or ft ur different farmers, when I entered the village of Brunswick and sat down on the steps of a general store to rest my tired legs. The owner of the tore was an old man named Jacob Raw- . son. He was not only a merchant, but kept the jKistoffice, was a tax collector and hail money to lend to farmers on mortgages. The place was only a village. and it had no hank. It was a lazy afternoon as 1 sat in the shade of his wooden awning, ragged and hungry and penniless and wondering how far 1 might have to travel before finding a farmer who would let me work for my keep. By and by 1 saw the old man in the door looking me over. 1 wasn't philosopher enough then to follow his line of reasoning. hut in later years I realized that he

must have said to himself:

‘ Here is a hoy who has run away from home and had a hard time of it. If 1 use the right tactics, I can get him to work very cheap, and he's big enough I and strong enough to be of great assist-

ance around the store.”

After a hit he sent me over to his house to get a square meal, and when I had returned lie bargained with me to go to work on the following basis: For the first six months 1 was to have my board and clothes: for the next six. $1 a week extra; for the second year. $2 jkt v ok. and for the third, $2. Mr. Rawson was i a good man in public estimation. Ho | was prominent in church and charity, j i and men said he was honest to a hair. He bargained with me, however, to , get six months’ labor for nothing, or a year for $20, and then let me go. At 1 i least his own sister, who kept house for him and took a great liking to me, figured it out that way. Winter was com- ' mg on, hut the clothes he furnished me consisted mainly of blouse and overalls to hide my rags, and I hadn’t been with him a week when lie complained of my appetite and showed his stingy spirit in j various other ways. When he found that 1 was pretty smart at figures, I was ordered to wait on customers, and before the end of the first three months most of my time was spent behind the counter. In a village store in those days—and yon may find it so today in most of them—every clerk made his own change at the money drawers. Mr. Rawson had to trust me to do this, and one time 1 overheard him saying to his

sister:

1 “He's a runaway boy, sure enough, hut I lielieve he's honest. I've fixed up a dozen different plans to catch him, hut lie never meddles with anything." I was penniless, hut the sight of his money had never tempted me. I had no

tilings straight, while .v.r. ttawson counted the cash and locked it up in an old fashioned boltheud safe. When I had finished my usual work on this night, he called me into the postoffice room and brusquely said: •'.Tallies, 1 want you to takeoff all your

clothes.”

I saw that he looked serious and troubled, hut without a word I removed everything to my shirt. He picked up garment after garment and carefully examined each, and when lie had come to

the last he said:

“James, 1 don't want to send you to state prison for life, hut 1 shall have to do it unless you hand over that money." “What money, Mr. Rawson?” “This afternoon I took in $115 from Dan Wheeler on account and left it in the money drawer over there. When I went to supper, there was at least $50 in bilb

in that drawer.”

“There was just $58, Mr. Rawson. Just as you went away Mr. Sabins came in and got change for a five, and 1 had all the hills out md counted ’em.” “But where are they now?” “Why, you've counted them up.” “No. Every hill was gone when I opened thedrawer. Janies, don't add to

your sins by lying.”

Some one had taken that money. 1 do 1 not think he was entirely satisfied of my innocence, hut he had to doubt my guilt. After Mr. Sabine went out the professor came in, sat for a few minutes on the i counter near the money drawer, and 1 ! could remember of no one else who had , been near it. 1 felt aggrieved and insulted, hut all the defense l could make was that I didn't take the money. 1 didn’t offer to go, and Mr. Rawson didn't dis- | charge me, but for the next week 1 realized that both lie and his sister doubted ny integrity. Next day after the robbery it was arranged that no more than $5 should he left in either of the tills at once, and nothing occurred for about 10 days. Then, one midafternoon, when we I aad a rush of farmer trade and were very 1 busy, 1 noticed the professor hanging about and also saw him step into the j lostoffice room and come out with some mail in his hand. 1 had forgotten the 1 circumstance when Mr. Rawson, who was ready to go to supper and the stor“ ! being empty of customers, called me in to the postofiice. IBs face was as white as mow, and he was shaking as if in a chill

when he turned upon me with:

“James, you have robbed me again"" “Have you missed more money?” ’’Some one has taken $200 out of this drawer since noon! Yon are the only one

who could have done it!”

1 first made him remember that I had been on the opposite counter all the afternoon and had not once waited on a customer on his side. I would have had to pass him to enter the postoffice, and I could have no errand in that room. 1 told hi in about the professor, and while he said nothing 1 could see that he was greatly puzzled. I don't think lie laid the robbery to me, but he foolishly told S his sister about it and added that I suspected the professor. She had become smitten with the man and of course hastened to tell him about the slander, and naturally enough he advised Mr. Rawson to do his duty by having me arrested and sent to prison. On the third day after the robbery the sheriff came into the store with a warrant and formally arrested me. I was not expecting it. hut I made no scene. Before we left the store the sheriff said to my employer: “Mr. Rawson, 1 hope there is no mistake about this. I've searched high and low for the money without avail, and this boy doesn't look nor act like a rob-

ing school for Wednesday nights and a debating school for Friday nights. For | lessons in singing and writing he hatl to he paid, hut the debating school was a free thing to add to his popularity. Hi Itoanled at the village tavern, bat most of his spare time was put in at our store He seemed to make an effort to render himself very agreeable to Mr. Rawson, and he not only succeeded m this, but

was hi Kin a visitor to the house. There are people you like or dislike at

first sight. I disliked Professor Darling, and I believe the feeling was mutual, lhough liotli of us wete too politic to betray ourselves. He was a man of about: 25, good looking and a dandy, but I felt, that there was something “snaky" about him from the first. He cultivated the Kawsous so assiduously and with such tact that in a fortnight ho felt free t: go behind the counters in the store and into the room used as a postofiice, and two or three people dared to whisper that he was "quite struck" on Miss Delia Rawson, who was a spinster of 88 without a personal charm. He had lss-n in town four weeks, and his praises were in everybody's mouth, when a queer thing happened at the store. When we were ready to close up of a night, 1 put uu the blinds, saw to the stoves and put

“Jacob, the hoy never took it, hut he'll have to go to jail just the same," said the sheriff. And to jail 1 went. On the way over to the county seat 1 told him about the professor, and after think-

ing the matter over ho replied:

"Jim, I believe you're right about that chap, and you just keep quiet, and I'll trap him. I'm sorry to have to lock you up, hut it wor't hurt you any in the end.' When I had been in jail alsiut a week, two farmers living just outside of Brunswick were roobed on the same nightone of $165 and the other of $180. It was burglary rather than robbery, as their houses were entered at night. Three nights Inter the tollgate keejier just east of the town was made a victim to tho tune of $00, and two nights after that a rich old widow was roblied of $250 in cash and a lot of jewelry and bends. There was a cool and .ariug robber at work, and the excitement was intense. The other robberies didn't help my case any, as Mr. Rawson had not yet lieen madea victim, hut thesheriff assured me that he believed iti my innocence and would do all he could to see me through. In a 10 acre field which Mr. Rawson owned and used us a pasture there stood an old tumbledown red barn. It was oven for the shelter of the stock, hut nev-

er put to otner use. 1 Had been m it twe or three times and knew that there was j sn up stairs and a floor over about half I the length and width of it. The lower floor had lieen entirely removed. Well, one night as I lay in jail, not yet hav-j ing been arraigned for examination, 1 dreamed that I saw the professor ent i Jiis barn and secrete some money under old sleio||ho\ which rested on tin ground at the e;ist end. Everything was 0 plain to me that Hiastened to tell he heriff of my dream. Forty-nine men i nt of fifty would have smiled and turned away, hut after I hud repeated the dream to him he said: “Well, Jim. there may he something in it. There was another robbery night ijefore hist, and 1 am satisfied that the robber lives in Brunswick. He's sharp enough not to keep his plunder where a search warrant would find it. Tonight you and I will drive over and have a look into that oh’ barn." It was winter weather, but no snow was on the ground. We did not leave i.he jail until 11 o'clock at night and then had six miles to drive. We didn’t want to he seen going to the old barn, and what with our walking and dodging and waiting it was after midnight before we approached it. I had dreamed of an old sleighbox, but as a matter of fact had never seen it. It was a starlight night, and ns we entered the barn both of us saw the old relic at the east end. We walked right up to it, lifted it up, and there in a hole which was lightly covered with straw we found a brown | paper package carefully tied up. We could tell its contents by feeling. These were money and jewelry in there. The sheriff was for hurrying away with our prize, but I said to him, and I think I deserve some little creilvt for my common sense: “But we want the robber as well ns the plunder. Who knows but he may come tonight! If not, then tomorrow 1 or the next night. We must he iterc to capture him." “Jim, you're a brick!" chuckled the , sheriff. "Yes, we’ll wait, and if we capture the fellow I'll buy you a hang up suit, of clothes and make old Rawson take you hack at $10 per month and board.” We replaced the sleighbox as we found it and then climlied up to the floor above to wait. We had to get up there, slinky and unsafe as things were, because the place was so open below that any one looking into the barn must have observed us at once. It was cold and weary work, hut at " o'clock our patience was rewarded. We heard footsteps approaching, and presently we looked down through the crevices to see a limit enter. He had a I satchel with him and walked directly to the sleighbox and lifted it aside. When he found the package gone, lie uttered a very emphatic cuss word and started up. He was directly under us, you must know, and as he straightened up and turned, as if to rush out, we moved to get down. The floor was weaker than we thought. As we moved, it went crashing down, and it was a wonder that nobody was seriously injured. The sheriff and I were cut and bruised, hut nothing to cry over and the man under the rubbish, whom we at first thought dead, i was simply stunned for a few minutes by a knock on the head. Did lie turn out to lie Professor Darling? He did, hut it was a good half hour before we identified him. He had shaved , off ins whiskers and mustache, dyed his hair and put on n suit of clothes no one had ever seen him wear before. Yes. sir. he was the chap who had done all | the robbing, and we had nabbed him just in the nick o’ time He had made ready to skip, and his last haul was to be his greatest. Mr. Rawson had collected in a lot of tax money, and several hundred dollars had been paid in on a mortgage, and on this night there was about $750 in his old !mlthead safe. Sometime after midnight t he professor broke his way into the store and hurst the old sate opt ti. Ho not oil 1\ cleaned that out, hut took all the postage stamps and nickels and coppers. He had come to the town to do just such work, and he had played his cards nicely. 1 think Mr. Rawson and the sheriff were the only two persons who doubted him. He had not only made love to a dozen differi nt girls, hut was engaged to three or four, one of whom was Miss Rawson, On that night he had "sparked" her till midnight and then started out to make his hist haul. Being caught dead to rights, he made a clean breast of things, and the first move he made was to exonerate me. He got 10 years in prison, and though lie richly deserved the sentence plenty of people felt sorry for him and tli'Cight five years would hue iH'eli ehi'illgo. Did Mr. Rawson take me hark at $tn 1 month, and did the sheriff buy me the “bawg tip" suit of clothes? I answer ves to both questions You may pass i'.j; li-’i; Jj l* \„ U. ik fc.*' d’-a. — — SI « day. If you do, look about you for a store with the sign of "Rawson A; Co." on it.

When you speak of a man's hat living “about t wo s’zi’s too large for him," you do not mean that the proper fit would he a hat two inches smaller in either circumference or diameter. With his coat, however, when you say “size" you mean an inch. The following may be of interest to those likely to get mixed on the question of “sizes" and inches. A "siz.;" in u coat is exactly an inch, in underwear it is two inches, in a sock an inch, in a collar one-half inch, a shirt the same, in sin es one-sixth of an inch, in pants one inch, in gloves one-fourth of an inch and in hats one-eighth of an inch. —St. Louis Republic.
