Comment:
We can think of this story as Murphy's Law.
At the end of the story, Soapy experiences a sudden change of character, a revelation or epiphany which transforms his understanding of his place in the world.
Only by having devoted all of the stories to trying to get himself arrested that Soapy finally succeed in doing so when he stops wanting to be arrested and recovers the desire to make something of his life.

So you see a connection between the story and Murphy's Law-anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
