"ow Some Famous Law-Breakers Drusoovllch, the famous dctcctivo, once declared that while it was wonderful how some of the famous criminals he cup- tured had become criminals, there were others who appeared as if they could never have been anything else. The first step in crime was made by persons of the first class under the most. various cir- cumstnncosâ€"pussion. temptation, dc- spairâ€"huL by the persons of the second class, through what seemed sheer crimi- nal inshnct. Many of the most. notorious wrong- doers have. if their own impressions are to be relied on. been tempted to launch into crime by the most accidental cir- cumstances. “Jim the Penman," the great forger, whose forgel‘ies created a panic among London bankers for several years, and who was at last brought to justice by the conicssions of two of his accomplices, when he was condemned to penal servitude for life said that the idea of forgery never occurred to him till it was suggested by the chance remark of a casual acquainiance whom he met in a London restaurant where he was dining. Tho stranger chanced to allude to a forgery that had been committed, and remarked how clever a peumun must b0 10 be able to imitate a signature so closely that a skilled bunk-clerk could not distinguish the forgery from the real one. “Jim” thought it would be easy. and pen, ink and paper were brought for him to try his hand at imitating the stranger's signature. The result was so wonderful that the stranger remarked: “You possess a dangerous gilt. sir. A man might be tempted with it to do much, at a pinch." n..uu.., Till that moment "Jim the Penman"â€" then James Saward, the barrister, des- perately in want of moneyâ€"declared he had never thought of forgery as a means of livelihood. The words rang in his ears as a revelation of how he might gain thousands. He became the clever- est forger of modern times. A man does not become a miner all at once. It requires long, laborious, and constant practice to acquire the profl- cicncy to turn out base money which will pass undetected from hand to hand. But the most casual chance has led men it adopt coining rs a. means of preying on their fello. 3. FOR A \VOMAN'S SnKE. Woodstock, the ooiner, samples of whose marvellous work are to be seen in the Black Museum at Scotland Yard. was, as a young fellow. a tailor's assis- tant. One Saturday afternoon he was in a public-house in the South of London. with the girl to whom he was engaged. Upon her leaving, a stranger remarked to Woodstock how pretty she was, and jokingly asked when the wedding was to ba, Woodstock lamented that there was not much chance of that happening for a long time. His meagre wages forbade the hope. The stranger was Draker, the coiner, and he hinted that if Woodstock such a nice-faced. respectable young fel- lowâ€"was poor it was his own faul . Draker had heaps of had money he wanted passing. Woodstock was tempted, and. after a struggle with him- self, consented to take some of the~ooins. He found them so detective, however. that they were difficult to pass, and he criticized Draker‘s work so severely that hraker invited him to “see if he could (to better himself," and he would teach him all he knew. Woodstock easily surâ€" passed his inast-er. He had a wonderful git" for delicate manual work. and a brain to discover new methods. His “den,” when he was at last run down by Inspector Fox, was found fitted with all the latest scientific machines that could be applied to counterfeit coining. In the famous case of Martin Guerre. the launching on a criminal course was the result of an extraordinary chance and a sudden resolve. Martin Guerrc was a soldier, and was mortally wound- en in a skirmish in the North of France. Among his comrades was a man remark- ably like him, and with whom Guerre had contracted a great friendship. The two used to be always together, and em joyed the joke of their strange resem- blance. Guerre‘s double was with him when he was dying. and Guerre, with his last breath. begged his comrade to carry some little trinkets he had to his wife at home. The double assented. and proceeded to fulfil his pmmise faith- fully. .. ._ Ann. .m. “nhnvtvfin When He arrived at the village on his mission he learnt that Guerre's wife had. during her husband‘s absence in the war, come into some little property through the death of a relation. He began to envy Marlin Guerre's lot if he had lived. When the villagers saw him they began to exclaim. “Here‘s Martin Guerra!" By the time he arrived at the cottage door he had decided to act Martin's part. pro- vided the dead man's wife was deceived hv his similarity to her husband. She remained 11110504 tempted to repea HIS FIRST FORGERY.

No one can point to any particular event in their lives as the first introduction to criminal courses. It seemed innate. and showed iLseli in the prettiest trickery in childish intercourse. It has been noticed that the most n0< torious criminals in various spheres or crime are recruited from the ranks of persons engaged in special occupations and pI‘oleSsions. The locksmith, safe- making and carpentering trades, have supplied the most accomplished bur- glars; engraving has been reSponsible fI-r most of the great, banknote manu- facturers; the most celebrated torgers have come from the legal profe5sion; and the profeSSional murderers have generally had some medical training. But the professional poisoner is a man accustomed to carrying the burden of ghastly secrets. and rarely does he do more than confess the justice of his sentence, and acknowledge the last crime which sends him lo the gallows. llis lips are sealed as to previous offences. and no one knows how the awful first step was taken. A prison chaplain in one of our largest convict establishmean once remarked lhat he was appalled by the continual lament of the criminals he found in that place of terror over “just one lilllc thing." The “little thing" was the first step which had launched them on the career of wrongdoing which had brought them there.â€"â€"London Answers. Z’am-Buk Cures Piles.
