MR. TINKER'S FALL I
v FROM GRACE

lOrUhial 1 I
Tinker was his name Kvernrd l.eroy '
Tinker?ami a more spiritual inisn had
never come to our city. iiis forehead
was broad and high: his eyes were
largo enough and blue enough and soft j
enough for an angel. I believed in ,
htm then, and f hellevo in him now.
The moment a man sets himself up to
he a spiritual guide for others we immediately
put him on a pinnacle of or."
own from which he shall shed the light
of perfection, lie is no longer a man
like ourselves, hut a superior being
freed from earthly passions, earthly
weaknesses.
Tinker was an evangelist, was lined
to he an evangelist and was tine ! for ,
nothing else than an evangelist, lie!
chose for his specialty prison, life, j
When he came to us there was not l
even a regular prison chaplain, none |
hoing willing to take the position for
the pay and the regular ministers being
otherwise oceupied. Tinker walked
into it of his own accord and occupied
it without remuneration. I low
lie got a living we never knew. That
lie lived from hand to month was certain.
After praying in a saloon and
\varning its proprietor that he was doing
the devil's work the holy man
would he invited to partake of the
free lunch on (he counter, and in this
way ho secured many a dinner. For
short periods he would occupy a sleeping
room, hut the landlady did not expert
him to pay from llio lirst. All she
asked was that he would n?>t stand in
the way of a paying lodger, and she
would often have been the loser had
Tinker permitted it.
Iii swli way* Tinker 111:111:1 lc?m1 to oxi*t.
anil so long a* lie could light sin
and Rive comfort to prisoners. possibly
turning thorn Inward a better life after
serving their terms, lie was satisfied.
He prayed Willi tlioni. lie talked with
thein, he advised tiiein. hoing a repository
for the conlidenee of the whole
prison, lie had free access to them,
and liotli guards and prisoners all
knew liim.
No one had ever thought of Tinker as
a husband or father. When one day a
woman with a scowl on her I'aee and
an underjaw denoting resolution oaine
along to claim him as her spouse
great was our astonishment. 11? r appearance
hud n paralysing effect upon
Tinker. Those whom lie had extorted
to stand up under calamity now endeavored
to insiiil a like firmness into
him. but without success. The woman
went to the court, produced divorce
papers with alimony and proved
that 1 was due her from the delinquent
Tinker. Sh" had little dllfleuity
in getting an order for his arrest,
and he was required to give n
bond not only for the amount due, but

Had any one eonfldouco that Tinker ,
would lie able to nuike up the amount i
we might have gouo on his bond.
it was, the judge sent him to the work- j
house to work out the amount. Mean- I
while Tinker was confined Sn the eity t
jail whore he had been the self constituted
chaplain. Why he had not
applied for that or some other such position
was now made clear. The M'oman
with the square mouth and the
beetling brow stood ready to pounce
upon his salary before it was due.
The method of obtaining a living he
had chosen gave hint a freedom that
must have been relatively delightful. '
1 took it upon myself to go to Mrs.
Tinker to see if 1 could soften her obdurate
heart. The volley of words she
poured upon me I can only liken to
that of a Oat Hug gun. I retired ingloriously.
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
fitted and forego a work at which he
was doing great g ? >d.
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, inarched 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 unloaded
they were marched inside the
station mid put in care of a keeper,
who was to take further charge of
t hem.
If is here uliere Tinker fell under
temptation. Thit who less than an angel
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
bne|< was turned When the official
saw him ou the platform, supposing
hhri to be there In his capacity as
evangelist, lie said:
"flood morning, Mr. Tinker."
An Inspiration camo to the prisoner.
Taking off Ids hat, closing Ids eyes and
throwing np his head, he began to pray
more lustily than lie had ever done hefore
for the poor fellows who were 1
going to the workhouse. He had
scarcely begun when a car was backed j
up, and tbo keeper shouted. "All i
aboard." The train pulled out. and
Tinker disappeared In 1he crowd.
A few hours Inter word came to tho
jail that one of the prisoners scheduled
to be turned over at the workhouse
was missing, and Tinker's ruse wnt:
discovered. Hut it was too late. The
evangelist had but a few miles to go to
get into another state. Once beyond
ilie line he was safe so long as he kept
out of the state In which be had been
convicted.
Whether or no we regard Tinker's
pr.nver at the station as blasphemous,

There is no accounting for tastes, as
was said when the Wisconsin man married
his mother-in-law, hut it. seems
strange that the flying machines should
keep on heating their wings against the
brick pavement when the manufactures
of that kind of roadway assure us
that it can't he beat. '
It seems to us that the flying machine
has a superstitious regard for the
law of gravitation. It appears to fear
thnt If it violated that law it might
