It seemed they'd taken him down to Lundy’s and given him 4 miners’ trial. Lundy had been judge. Jerry had made a break for it—got away. Alex had treated him white when he ought to haye taken a rawhide to him. Now he was roping Alex into it, low-down hog that he was. Alex must hand him over to Lundy. “‘It isn’t your funeral, Alex. I'm going back,’ Jerry said. “‘What have you done, now? dad roared at him. Uncle Jerry had beén up to every kind of deviltry imaginable. “Jerry had started in to tell him when they heard shouting off to- ward the town.

Haggard of face, Jerry whipped out a ciga- | rette, made a boggle of lighting it and flung it into the grate. At that moment he reminded me of the Andrew Ogden, the reckless Peter- son, I had imagined, but had never known. “Mrs. Lundy was here,” I said, to help things along. “Where is she now?” Henry ex- claimed. “On her way down to headquar- {ters.

I made him do it!" “Made him do what?” I enquired, alarmed. . “We'll tell you afterwards, Uncle John.” “Jerry was with his father Friday night before—before it happened. Uncle Andrew told him everything. Jerry must tell those things first.” «+“I. agree with the young lady"| Deacon observed dryly. “But you might as well tell us what Mus, Lundy had to say for herseélf, John” Deacon added. I did so, putting it briefly. Just as I finfshed the teléphone rang. My old colléagué in Los Angeéles was calling and I talked with him for a few minutes. “Go ahead, Jerry,” when I had hung up. “Mrs. Lundy told you the truth,” he said earnestly. “But she didn't touch the meat of the story. It's the queerést tale you or Captain Deacon ever heard. 1It's a long tale, too.” “Get at it, then.” | “Mrs. Lundy has told you how dad came to Torridity,” Jerry be- gan. “You khow about him bring- ing Uncle Jerry to Torridity. You know how he got the name, Ten- to-One, and how he made a for- tune by gambling in mining proper- tles,” | “You don’t need to get into that, {my boy,” I sald. “Tell us what | happenéd to your father—how Alex Peterson turned into Andrew Og- den.” “Let him go on with his story,” Deacon grunted. Jerry threw him a defiant look that again reminded mé of Alex Peterson. “It'll come fast enough for you, Deacon, when I get started,” Jerry growled. “I know how you feéel {about dad, Unele John.

I suppose he |realized that the boy couldn't be expected to. feel any too amiably disposed towards him. “Dad bhad a remarkable .memory he made those ghastly six hours for details,” Jerry went on, “and (so vivid that I felt as if I were down there myself, Dad's six hours began just before sunset on 1 grunted, ¢ rigid in y played Her voice was tremulous.|Monday, July 6th, 1896. ~ He was in his cabin on. the Two Brothers property.
