Question

A guard came to the prison shoe shop, where Jimmy Valentine was and escorted him to the

front office. There the warden handed Jimmy his pardon, which had been signed that morning by

the governor. He had served nearly ten months of a four-year sentence. “Now, Valentine,” said the

warden, “you’ll go out in the morning. Brace up, and make a man of yourself. Stop cracking safes,

and live straight.” The clerk handed him a railroad ticket and the five-dollar bill with which the law

expected him to rehabilitate himself into good citizenship and prosperity. Jimmy Valentine walked

out into the sunshine.

Jimmy headed straight to the café of one Mike Dolan, got his key and went upstairs, unlocking

the door of a room at the rear. He slid back a panel in the wall and dragged out a dust-covered

suitcase and gazed fondly at the finest set of burglar’s tools in the East invented by himself.

A week after the release of Valentine, there were many neat jobs of safe-burglary done in

many places in the province. The losses were high enough to bring the matter up into Ben Price’s

detective work. By comparing notes, a remarkable similarity in the methods of the burglaries was

noticed. Ben Price investigated the scenes of the robberies, and was heard to remark: “That’s

Dandy Jim Valentine’s work.”

One afternoon Jimmy Valentine went down the pavement towards the hotel. A young lady

named Annabel Adams crossed the street, passed him at the corner and entered a door over

which was the sign “The Elmore Bank.” Her father owned this bank. Jimmy went to the Planters’

Hotel, registered himself as Ralph D. Spencer, and hired a room. He said he had come to Elmore

to look for a location to go into business. He opened a shoe-store and secured a good run of

trade. At the end of a year the situation of Mr. Ralph Spencer was this: he had own the respect of

the community, his shoe-store was flourishing, and he and Annabel were engaged to be married in
two weeks.
