The Reformist
[Copyright, 1906, by Homer Sprasue.]
Just when Mr. Nlckelby became a re
formist he could not fix by exact date.
He had always had a fellow feeling
for his fellow men and had always
wished them to walk in straight paths,
but he had arrived at middle age be
fore this feeling began to lie heavily
on his mind. When be started out in
the reforming business there were peo
ple who called it a fad and referred to
him as daffy, but no matter how good
the cause there are people who will al
ways speak 111 of it
Nickelby's family went to the coun
try, and he occupied the house o'
nights. One night at midnight he was
awakened from his sound sleep by a
hand being laid on his shoulder. He
opened his eyes to see a stranger hov
ering over him.
"Mr. Nlckelby," said the man, "I am
a burglar. I have called to talk with
you. I have taken the liberty of pre
paring a little lunch downstairs, and I
ihould like to have you Join me."
"This seems to be a gigantic piece of
cheek," replied the reformist as he got
slowly out of bed. "If I'd had one min
ute's notice I'd have been ready to
send a bullet into you!"
'That's human inconsistency. For
years you have been wanting to have
a free, frank chat with a burglar and
convince him of the error of his ways
and bring about a reformation. I
come at last, and you are sorry that
you did not meet me with a bullet."
"But you have broken into my
house!"
"But that is a part of my business.
Having broken into your bouse as I
have you cannot doubt that I am what
I claim to be. Let us now go down to
the lunch."
Mr. Nlckelby didn't like it at all. He
wanted ail burglars to reform, but he
wanted It done by programme. The
lunch didn't amount to much. Aside
from four ham sandwiches brought in
by the burglar himself there were a
bottle of wine taken from the cellar
and a supply of cigars. The burglar
motioned his host to a seat at the bend
of the table, passed him a sandwich
and a glass of wine and then courte
ously said:
"Now go ahead and ask me any
questions you will. It will be the first
time I have ever submitted to an in
terview."
"This bouse Is defended by a burglar
alarm, and I don't see how you en
tered it," replied the reformist, who
couldn't get over his feelings in the
matter.
"Easy as pie, my dear sir. I had
only to cut the wire outside the house.
Do you wish to know why I became a
burglar?"
"You can state the case If you wish,
but tomorrow I'll raise hob with the
police for not spotting you off before
you got In here."
"Don't do it. Statistics will show
that there are Just as many burglaries
now as before a policeman was Invent
ed. You would only be throwing your
time away. At thirty years old I was
a minister of a congregation In a coun
try town. My salary was $200 a year
and was behind half the time. I made
the change in order to make a living.
I have made an average of $3,000 a
year as against you. Have you any
criticisms to make? Have you any
thing as good to offer me if I will re
form?"
"You'd get at least five years if ar
rested for breaking in here," sulkily
replied the reformist.
"Not a doubt of it, but I shan't be
arrested. If I promise to mend my
ways can you get me a job of driving
an ice wagon at ?9 por week?"
"You ought to reform because it Is
wrong to be criminal."
"Oh, had I? I ought to walk the
streets looking for a job because I
want to be an honest man. How about
every alderman in town? How about
every merchant? How about the tens
of thousands of men who are cheating
and swindling and robbing every day?
Go to a man who sells coffee; It is 80
per cent adulteration. Will he 6top be
cause you say it is wrong?"
"But you are a burglar!"
"It is a distinction without a differ
ence. Instead of robbing the city I rob
one residence. Instead of mixing half
cotton with my wool I use false keys
to enter a dwelling. You are in the
cloth business. There are more tricks
in your trade than in mine. Are yon
willing to reform?"
"If you had come to me and said yon
wanted to reform I should have stood
ready to? to"?
"Yes; go on. You would have stood
ready to give me a dollar and your best
advice, and within a week I would
have been a starving man. It won't do,
old fellow. It's all sawdust. We are
all out for the dough, including your
self, and none of us Is going to give up
a good thing for the sake of free soup
and a bed under a stairway. Cut it
out and save your wind. Now, then, I
have packed up a bundle in the hall. It
contains a few pieces of silver, two
suits of your clothes and a few other
things. They are my perquisites, and
if you object It will be the worse for
you.
"I may come again at the end of
three months. If I do I hope to hear
that you have gone out of the cloth
business and are selling toothpicks and
jiving full measure for the money.
Perhaps I may be so situated as to of
fer you a dollar "a day to drive an ex
press wagon.
"Another glass of wine? No? Have
a smoke? No again? Well, I'll bid you
good night and be going. I stand ready
to reform at any time, but I've got to
have shoes for my feet and something
for my stomach to work on in the new
profession." M. QUAD.
