One afternoon Jimmy came to a little town known as Elmore. There he saw a young lady on the street and fell in love with her. He got to know that she was Annabel Adams, and her father owned The Elmore Bank.
Jimmy went to the Planters' Hotel and registered as Ralph D. Spencer. He told the clerk that he was going to open a shoe store and had come to Elmore looking for a good location to go into business.
Mr Ralph D. Spencer, or the newly reformed whom Jimmy Valentine, remained in Elmore and prospered. He opened a successful shoe store, made many friends and got engaged to be married to Miss Annabel Adams. She loved him a lot. Her family approved of him and treated him like he was already a member.
One day Jimmy wrote a letter to his old friends telling them of his new life. He said he wanted to meet them at Old Rock to give up his kit of tools. A few days after that Ben Price came to Elmore and found out about Jimmy's new life.
The next morning Jimmy had breakfast with the Adamses. He was going to Little Rock that day to buy his wedding suit and get something nice for Annabel. After breakfast the family went downtown together. Jimmy got his suitcase from his hotel and they proceeded to the bank.
