mRILARn COMPANY. ÌNC, NEW YORK CITY | A BAIL
JUMPER
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN J
Horace Mansfield, attorney-at-la w
—*vs one sight preparing for bed when
received a message summoning him
police headquarters to a client who
• waiting for him to advise and as
. him in obtaining ball. Mansfield
Mt to the police offlee, where he found
a man about twenty-five years old and
apparently a gentleman. Lawyer and
client were permitted to talk together
apart from the others, and the client
paid:
"My name—that given at the desk—
IP Lambert, William Lambert I am
aiiarged with entering a gentleman's
aesidence for the purpose of stealing.
Being caught in the act I was arrest
ed. I desire that you secure my liberty
ma the smallest possible amount of
bail. It must be not more than $3,000,
for that is all I can raise.'*
"But surely," replied the lawyer,
*you are not guilty of the charge?"
"Whether I am or not if the case
comes to trial I shall plead guilty."
Mansfield looked at his client In sur
prise. He would have as soon believed
blmself guilty of pilfering as the young
nan before him.
"Any defense would do in your case,"
be said. "No juror would believe you
to be a thief. What is the value of the
articles you are accused of stealing?"
"A bracelet a brooch and a lady's
watch. I doubt if they are worth al
together $lOO. 1 shall not make a de
fense."
"How would you like me to get you
off on a technicality?"
"Your services in any such line will
aot be required. I shall forfeit my
bail."
"Forfeit your bail!"
"That is my intention."
Mansfield succeeded in getting the
boil bond made $2,000. and his client
produced the funds himself. Then ho
paid his attorney's fee and went forth
a free man When called for trial he
did not appear, and his bail was for
feited. An elderly gentleman appear
ed to testify against him, and Mans
field, who was present as the accused's
counsel, asked him something about
the case The only information lie re
ceived was that the thief had effected
an entrance to the old gentleman's
dwelling by climbing a lattice near a
second story bedroom window. The
gentleman said he was uot surprised
that the bail had been forfeited, for
the thief was evidently well connected,
•nd the money for his bail bad doubt
less been furnished by his family.
Ten years passed. One day Horace
Mansfield was at work in his office
when a middle aged man entered and
•sked for a private Interview. When
the two wero alone together the man
said:
"You don't remember me."
"I confess that I cannot place you,
though there Is something about you
that lends mo to think I have seen you
before "
"I)o you recall a client of youra
warned William Lambert, who jumped
bis bail?"
"I do."
"I am that man, but my name is not
Xambert. 1 am about to be married
and before the ceremony is performed
I wish to know if there are any records
Identifying me with Lambert that can
be eradicated."
The lawyer informed the gentleman
there was nothing worth removing. If
aecoguized as Lambert be might be
arrested and tried, but ten years had
so changed him that he would likely
not be recognized.
"There is now," replied the stranger,
"no one living to appear against me."
"In that case you run no risk what
ever."
"1 am to marry a widow who has in
herited some property from her late
buslmnd. There are some papers to b
drawn before the wedding, and I should
like to have you draw them. Can you
conveniently call at her house?"
"1 can."
The gentleman threw a card on a ta
ble bearing the name of Mrs. Elizabett
Tracy with her address.
The next day Mansfield went to the
address given and was received by a
lady under thirty years of age and
beautiful. Having executed the papers
be was about to withdraw when Mrs.
Tracy said to him:
"Both myself and my fiance deem it
best that you should receive an ex
planation of what must seem to you to
be a mystery. When I was nineteen 1
left home on a visit While away I
met the man 1 am to marry tomorrow.
An attachment sprang up between us,
and he begged me to engage himself
to roe.
"I had been brought up from a child
to understand that when I married my
husband must be wealthy. 1 told Ed
gar-Edgar Stan field is his name—that
1 knew my father would not consent
to my marriage with him and he must
give me up. He seemed very much
broken down by this, and after my re
torn 1 feared that he would do some
thing rash A match had already been
made for me with Mr. Tracy, who was
then more than forty years old. Edgar
came to this city the night before I
was married and. in the hope of per
aunding me to elope with him. climbed
a lattice under my window and ob
tained access to my room. My father
came to the room while he was there.

Edgar, to save me from the conse

ts long overland trip to the western
:ity, where it is due to arrive before

The Truthful Lyre.
I had my lyre attuned to sing—
The lyre, of course, is metaphoric;
A .veg'lar poet has to spring
It now and then to give a Doric,
GrlJlnn touch unto his fling.
The custom's punk, but quite historic.
Well, then, I had It tuned to play
A melancholy, winter lay,
With snow and Ice spread thick as sin
And winds that howl across the heather.
When who the dickens should come In
i But spring, the wench, with April
weather.
Oh, very well (says I), I see
The season's more than usual fickle,
I And tries to get the Jump on me
To put my verses In a pickle.
! I laughed at this quite mirthlessly—
"lts chances aren't worth a nickel.
I'll turn the lyre upon the time
And sing a lay anent the clime.
The birds and blooms In April train,
I'll huri a spring song at the printer."
When who the deuce comes back again
As big as life, but old man winter!
ENVOI.
For sale to any one who'll buy
A lyre that couldn't tell a lie!
—New York Evening Sun.
Quite Logical.
Teacher—Freddie, why do yon spell
bank with such a large "B?" Freddie—
' Cause pa said that a bank was no good
unless it had a large capital!
SAFETY FIRST BY MORALITY.
Appeal of Carnegie Steel Company to
Its Workmen.
An appeal to Its thousands of em
ployees to lead moral lives as a means
of increasing their own safety when at
work and of Improving their chances
for promotion has been made by tho
Carnegie Steel company of Pittsburgh
part of a "safety first" campaign.
In a series of pamphlets which hav
been distributed among the men for
several weeks, the company, by means
of charts, shows how much longer a
man lives who lives "right" than one
who dissipates, and tails of the better
•chool work done by children of the
workman who leads a clean life com
pared with one who does not, and how
suach less liable the workman ie to so- *•.
