A Man of Experience
(Copyright, IXK. by C. J it In]
Charles Black was thirty, uumarrled,
fairly wealthy and of i^ood family. He
had a keen desire to experience the
aeusatlon of Wing wrecked In mld
oceen, to be on the tenth floor of a
Italiel and cut off by fire, to be fleeing
from to* water* of a bursted reser
voir.
One day be left hi* rooms, grip in
hand, and next day runted up In a city
BOO miles away. Ou the night of his
arrival be wok a walk among the resi
dential streets and Anally selected a
bouse to operate oa. He wanted the
aensatton of burglary.
On a well lighted street, vigilantly
patrolled by the police and with part
of the family still up, he climbed up
the column of e (torch and anterad a
window. In so doing be scratched bis
band on a nail and left Mood stains
here and there. He packed up consid
erable spoil and could have eafely tak
en It away. He did not chooso to.
however. He entered, another cham
ber sad deliberately awoke a young
man who was sleeping. An outcry
wae raised, and dnriug the midst of It
he made hit exit Three blocks away
he stopped to chin with a policeman.
Nest morning Black had disappeared
from bis hotel. lie told one of the
porters tiefore going that he feared ar
rest. He left a broad trail, but It was
three day* before thp detective* struck
It. He led them a chase of (100 miles. 1
They had hia description, and yet be
doubled back on his trail and rode
with them a part of the time. He
was experimenting as to the acumen
of the average detective. They finally
gave up the chase, and he returned to
the city where It had begun. The clerk
looked a bit astonished, but said noth
ing. The porter winked at blin, but
did not give him away.
To get himself arrested be bad to
writ* an anonymous letter to the po
lice and to the owner of the house he
had Invaded. Be wanted the sensa
tion of an arrant and trial.
The young man who had bean arous

past'*
Williams aeat for a leading lawyer
to take Ida case. He had a little ex
periment to work there) He told the
lawyer that ba waa guilty and deserved
all punishment that would be mated
out to him. but the' lawyer did not
heal tat* a moment about taking the
ease and preparing for a strong de
fense to set the bargiar at liberty on
society again.
When the trial came on It was Wil
liam* who experimented with the wit
nesses for the prosecution. Staring
them boldly In the face be defied them
to swear that he waa the man. They
knew he wa*. and yet they wavered
and hesitated and made points In bis
favor. Evan the detectives who had
played cards with him on the train
while thinking they were pursuing him
were not etroug In their recognition.
The fact that Williams would not
Identify himself was against him. The
fact that he had returned to the same
city and the same hotel was In hie fa
vor. Ill* lawyer wa* feeling certain
that the Jury would at least disagree
when Williams spoiled his cose by
making certain admissions. II* had
made up bis mind to experiment a Ut

a fool by bis lawyer, but he persisted,
was found guilty and sentenced to two
years In prison.
Ue had tiUMI In cash and a credit of

baud* of the police, a detective asked
the privilege of wearing It for the next
two years. II* asked In such a way
that Williams granted the request with
