she asked, patting his arm while he
hung his cap on the nail driven into
the back of the door. It was a sign
of her feeling for him that she, alone
of all the world, called him by the

got some pork chops vesterday—
shall I cook them with tomatoes, the
way you like? I thought they'd be
a little surprise for you.”
“Bless your heart, kiddo!”
He caught her in his arms and kissed
her gently, this time without shame-
facedness. “And I got a little surprise
for too!” he told her. “Come
here! Say, lamp the look o’ that!”
He drew out the pocketbook, opened
it and threw the four bills on the table.
“Found it—lot of good Christians
wouldn't even look at it—Ileft it for me.
Say, how does it look?”
“Hail Columbia!” murmured the
girl; “and I was just wondering how

It is one of the advantages of being
the Devil that any little good thing
he may do looks very good. In the
same way a shady citizen might take
some pride in a deed that would get
a minister awfully talked about. It's
all a matter of comparison; just as
gray looks white against a dead black
background, whereas it would lock
dirty against pure white. ?
This, of course, isn’t an
for being any wickeder than you have
to be; it’s merely a recognition of a
fact. And a recognition of that fact
has a good deal to do with the case
of Sinkers Malone
On the day, a particularly fine
spring Sunday, when term in
State's Diss n expired, Sinkers found
a pocketbook¥ Tt was lying in the rich
brown May mud beside the walk, and
since it was a rich brown color itself,
it had escaped the attention of a few
hundred people who were passing on
their way home from church.

The money and the purse lay neglected

scooped that purse up with one quick
dip and swing, dropped it into a side
pocket, and slouched on as if nothing
had happened, but anybody who had
noticed Sinkers both before and after
taking would have been struck by his
improved appearance.
It was the easiest in which
Sinkers had ever come by a pocket-

that he had the business under way;
and a two to keep the larger one from
being lonesome.
Sinkers hurried them back into his
pocket. For the next half a dozen
blocks the joyous knowledge of their
presence interfered with his thoughts
of justified homicide. His face light
ened until it bore a faint resemblance
to the lighted faces of some of those
persons he had passed on their way
home from church.
At the cight of a girl loitering on a
street corner half a block ahead his
face lightened even more. The girl
saw him and hurried forward to meet
him. She was pretty in her girlishness
and spotless black and white cotton
dress; her big eyes were the exact
color of the May sky overhead and
they held something of the sky's soft-
ness as they looked at Sinkers. Nei-
ther the sky nor the eyes seemed to
distrust Sinkers, disreputable object
and shady citizen though he undoubt-
edly was.
“Hel” he said.
“Hello!” she replied; and as he came
up to her side She turned and walked
by his side. You might not have sus-
pected that they waited a year and
six months for that meeting.
“I'd have come to meet you at the
train,” she said, “but, honest, IT didn't
have carfare; and I wasn’t sure what
train—what time——" :
“Sure; that's all right,” said he.
After they had turned in at the
murky entrance of a tenement a few
doors down the street Sinkers sud-
denly put his arm around her and
he leaned back and stuck his thumbs
in the armholes of his vest like a mer
chant about to consummate a deal. “i

past me when I'm hangin’ round back
of Slezak’s, and I'll fill him so full of
hot lead—"
Her eyes had taken on some of the
hardness of her own, but she inter-
rupted plaintively: “Oh, Harry, nct
just tonight, the first day you're
home!”
“I don't care whether I'm home o°
not till I git that off my mind!” he
swore, tapping the toble lightly with
his long fingers. “Now, git me
straight—"
He choked on the word and leaped
to his feet. Some one had knocked.
They had been too busy with their
own plans to notice the warning that
the five flights of wooden stairs were
especially constructed to give. They
had even forgotten to lock the door;
not that locking doors made much
difference if it was a Central Office
man come to let them know that
