MR. TINKER'S FALL
FROM GRACE
[Original.]
Tinker was his name? Evi?rard Leroy
Tinker? and a more spiritual man had
never come to our city. Ilia forehead
was broad and high; his eyes were
large enough and blue enough and soft
enough for an angel, t believed in
him then, and I believe in him now.
The moment a man sets himself up to
be a spiritual guide for others wo im
mediately put bim ou a pinnacle of our
own from which be shall shed the light
of perfection. He is no longer a man
like ourselves, but a superior being
freed from earthly passions, earthly
weaknesses.
Tinker was an evangelist, was fitted
to be an evangelist and was fitted for
nothing else than an evangelist. He
chose for his specialty prison life.
Wheu be came to us there was ? not
even a regular prison chaplain, none
being willing to take the position for
the pay and the regular ministers be
ing otherwise occupied. Tinker walk
ed into it of his own accord and oc
cupied it without remuneration. How
he got a living we never knew. That
he lived from hand to mouth was cer
tain. After praying in a saloon and
warning its proprietor that he was do
ing the devil's work the holy man
would be Invited to partake of the'
free lunch on the counter, and In this
way he secured many a dinner. For
short periods he would occupy a sleep
ing room, but the landlady did not ex
pect him to pay from the first. All she
asked was that he would not stand in
the way or a paying lodger, and she
would often have been the loser had
Tinker permitted it
In such ways Tinker managed to ex
ist. and so long as he could fight sin
and give comfort to prisoners, possibly
turning them toward a better life after
serving their terms, he was satisfied.
He prayed with them, he talked with
them, he advised them, being a re
pository for the confidence of the whole
prison. He had free access to them,
and both guards and prisoners all
knew bim.
Xo one had ever thought of Tinker as
a husband or father. Wheu one day a
woman with a scowl on her face and
an underjaw denoting resolution came
along to claim him as her spoust
great was our astonishment. Her ap
pearance had a paralyzing effect upon
Tinker. Those whom he had extorted
to stand up under calamity now en
deavored to instill a like firmness lute
him, but witbont success. The wo
man went to the court, produced di
vorce pai>ers with alimony and proved
that $054 was due her from the de
linquent Tinker. She had little diffi
culty in gettlug an order for his ar
rest, and he was required to give a
bond not only for the amount due, but
for the coming year, in all about $1,
oca .
Had any one confidence that Tinkei
would be able to make up the amount
we might have gone on his bond. As
It was, the judge sent him to the work
house to work out the amount. Mean
while Tinker was confined in the city
Jail where he had been the self con
stituted chaplain. Why he had not
applied for that or some other such po
sition was now made clear. The wo
man with the square mouth and the
beetling brow stood ready to pounct
npon his salary before it was due.
The method of obtaining a living he
had choseu gave him a freedom that
must have been relatively delightful.
I took it upon myself to go to Mrs.
Tinker to see if I could soften her ob
durate heart. The volley of words she
poured upon me I can only liken to
that of a Gatling gun. I retired in
gloriously. at the same time resolving
never again to interfere in domestic
troubles. It was all up with Tinker,
and he was doomed to spend a term at
work for which he was by no means
fltted and forego a work at which he
was doing great good.
We had no workhouse in our city and
used that of a neighboring town. Once
a week those persons who were to go
there were collected, marched to the
"black Maria," driven to the station,
put on the train and taken to their new
place of confinement. One morning
nine prisoners, including Tinker, were
thus driven to the train. On being un
loaded they were marched Inside the
station and put in care of a keeper,
who was to take further charge of
them.
It is here where Tinker fell under
temptation. But who less than an an
gel would not have fallen? On the one
hand a prison to which he had been
consigned by a virago, on the other
liberty. At the moment he alighted
from the black Maria the keeper's
back was turned. When the official
saw him on the platform, supposing
him to be there in his capacity as
evangelist, he said:
"Good morning, Mr. Tinker."
An inspiration came to the prisoner.
Taking off his hat closing his eyes and
throwing up his head, he began to pray
more lustily than he had ever done be
fore for the poor fellows who were
going to the workhouse. He had
scarcely begun when a car was backed
up, and the keeper shouted, "All
aboard." The train pulled out, and
Tinker disappeared In the crowd.
A few hours later word came to the
Jail that one of the prisoners scheduled
to be turned over at the workhouse
was missing, and Tinker's ruse waf
discovered. But It was too late. Th<
evangelist had but a few miles to go t
get Into another state. Once beyoni
the line he was safe so long as Ke kept
out of the state In which he had been
convicted.
Whether or no we regard Tinker's
prayer at the station as blasphemous,
there are few of us who will not se
cretly rejoice at his escape.

Eruption Broke Out in Spots All
Over Body? Caused a Continual
Itching for Two Years? Doctor's
Medicine Did no Good? Cured at
Expense of only $1.25 and Now
THANKS CUTICURA
FOR COMPLETE CURE
"Some time ago I wrote you for a
book on the Cuticura Remedies and
received it O. K. and went and bought
the Soap, Ointment, and Pills. They did
me more good than any medicine 1 ever
used. They cured me of my skin disease,
and I am very thankful to you. Mv
trouble was eruption of the skin, which
broke out in spots all oyer my body,
and caused a continual itching which
nearly drove me wild at times. I got
medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure
me, and when I saw in a paper vour
ad., I sent to vou for the Cuticura book
and I studied my case in it. I then
went to the drug store and bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cu
ticura Ointment, ana one rial of Cuti
cura Pills. From the first application
I received relief. I used the first set
and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap,
and was completely cured. I had
suffered for two years, and I again
thank Cuticura for my cure. If yoa
wish, you may publish this. Your
friend forever, Claude N.Johnson, Maple
Grove Farm , R. F. D. 2, Walnut, Kan.,
