But when Bill had left the peniten- | tiary, his sentence reduced one-half through the kindly made a sacred promise “never to break a safe again.” It had been hard work so far keep- ing that pledge. Bill had gone to the city. Whenever he got honest work, however, either the police e\posed him or old cronies came about the place and got him into disrepute.
