DALLAS. Tou>, Doc. 5.—After

tune t»y honeet work. Charles L.
Tompklna has now voluntarily eur-
rendered himeelf to the Texas authorl.
tie*, *o that the life of the woman
who luvea him may not be darkened
by the perpetual possibility of hia be
ing torn from her artue and thrust
Into prIron an un escaped felon.
When Tompklna fell !n lhve with
Mlsa Catherine Cartwright. the beau
tiful heir*** to a mllllon-dnllur ea-
t*te In Peroo county, Tcxaa, hi* con
science warned him that tho domestic
fcnpplne»fi of other man waa not for
him: that ho could not subject a
woman to the terror of the specter
of rearreet which constantly haunted
him. and which year* of upright liv
ing had not been abut to oxorclao.
In <1<-spslr, he decided to bid her
farewell forever. An an excus* for
hia eudden departure, he confessed
t#» her that Iq hlft youth, while erased
by drink, he had forged a check,
eervrd nearly aeven year* In prlaon,
and made hia exrape when all but a
year and three month* of hia term
had etapaed.
Increased Har Eateam.
To hia surprise, tho young woman
declared that the revelation only In
creased her-esteem for him. nr she
recognized the resolution nnd strength
needful to redeem, aa he had done, a
career begun ao ruinously. When
Tompklna. exalted hut of the reti
cence ha had tmpoaod upon himself,
stammered out an avowal of IiIn af
fection. Mias Cartwright accepted him
n* her flanoe, and natd she would de
vote her life to making him forget
hi happlneag the error of hi* youth.
Hut aa the day for the wedding ap
proached, her Jovey discerned that a
foreboding of hia renrrest, despite
her efforts at self-command, wua
( •raying on her mind. It wn* no *elf-
*h fear, but alarm for her lover, over
•whose head ahe beheld the sword of
Damocles. impending, ready to fall at
the first chance encounter with any
one of the many who knew hia pa*t.
During the ynara following hia
escape Tompklna had slowly con
vinced hlmaelf that ha had n«» motive
tied whan a well dressed man of high,
ly respectable aspect. Aoniked Into
hia office and announced:
“I want you to lock mg up- I
cm pad from this prison 21 years ago,
«ad srtHI have over a year to serve.**
The warden, who had been appoint
ed sine* Tompkins* flight, did not
know him. Neither did any of the
other offlelals and gusrd*. But of the
1,000 convicts in the Institution, there
were found two who war* Inmataa
contemporary with Tompklna. One
of them with difficulty racogoUad him*
Reluctantly, the warden ordered hie
vigftor shaved, clad In ettipaa and
locked In a cell. He Is now assigned
to clerical work, and his situation la
made aa comfortable as possible. But
he needs little cheering, as he la sup
ported by the consciousness that his
unparalleled sacrifice la for the sake
of the woman who loves him.
When a young man In Nebraska,
Tompklna wa* a student of mining
nnd civil engineering. A nature prone
to adventure nnd travel caused a
clash with hi* parent*. He ran away
to Texas and led a nomadto life, ac
quiring t passion for drink which waa
his undoing. He sank lowar and
lower, until he committed a forgery.
convicted In liaatrop county
In April. 1177. and sentenced to spend
ejghf year* at hard labor.
Prlaon life had the rare effect upon
him of awakening him to remorse for
hia previous conduct, and to a de
termination to redeem hlmaslf If he
ever had the chance. Confinement
sternly curad him of hia craving for
Intoxicants, and with the purification
ot hia physical man came a cleansing
of his moral faculties.
Escaped From Prison.
Ife became thoughtful and serious,
and resumed. In the spare hours In hi*
cell, the studies which had before
seemed so Irksome for hia volatile
spirit. He procured hooka tm engi
neering nnd mechNnlcs, and passed
many hours each day In resolute ap
plication.
Impatience to begin the bright new
Ufa he had planned for hlmaelf tempt
ed the prisoner to make Ms eacapr'.
Another yenr of Ignominy aa a felon
seemed ton long a postponement of
tha advent of the upclffht man Into
whom hardships had developed the
unsteady youth.
*‘l aspect to erase the last debit
against my life and offer myself, a clean
page, to the best woman In the world. I
nnd In youth more then the urns) stock
oats, and I sowed them dlllgent-
in now reaping the last of my

. . .iap* my surrender waa quixotic
and gratuitous. as there Is more tluui a
posslliilitv that I might lieve finished my
life without being recognised n* ttio

“But I find certainty mora tolerable
than the milieu* susix-nee. which I could

jyUY YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
^ now while you have full stocks to
select from; besides you can get waited on
better now than if you wait until the rush
begins, when everybody is trying to buy at
the same time. Come and select your
present, and by making us a payment we
will keep it until you are ready for it to be
delivered.
In buying our line of Rockers and Mor
ris Chairs the motive which has guided us
is not the desire to offer goods which would
attract by mere cheapness of price, but to
show a line which, by sheer intrinsic merit,
would command the preference of the pub
lic, a policy which, it is to be regretted, too
often prevails, we believe the most exacting
critic who reviews our stock will admit.
