The latter complained, the almost insane delight of Marsh, Marsh could not get to court to testify and poor, faithful Jackzie was sen- tenced to execution. It was not until the sole companion of his later years in the dreary old home was gone that John Marsh real- | ized his utter wretchedness. And, be-| sides Jackzie, he realized he had no friend in the wide world. Then, too,f the thought that the law, his favorite ! familiar weapon, should be turned against him, fairly maddened him. For years he had kept the communi. ty in hot water with his disputes and i i as “You High-Handed Rascals!” law suits. Why, even now amid his wretchedness, the confirmed old liti- gant experienced a thrill of pride as' he recalled the Barton case. Ah, there ! was a suit with a vengeance! Robt‘rtf Barton had defied him in a trivial mat- ter and Marsh had set about it to get | his revenge. For over five years the legal squabble had dragged its slow and costly length through court after court and had tied up the Barton prop- erty. “I hate those Bartons like polson!™ ! Marsh had declared on many ocea- sions, and he thought they were mean ' when they were only meek, and took | their sheer desperation for vicious- ness, so perverted had his cramped, sour nature become. Meantime Jackzie had allowed him- self to be led beyond the limits of the town with downcast eyes and all the resemblance of a culprit. His guides and guards finally halted at a stretch of underbrush near the bluffs over- hanging the river. “Come on,” spoke one of the con- | stables, “let's get to work.” He let go of the rope as he spoke and both drew their revolvers. The idea was to release the dog and shoot | him running Inst Iy, however, Jackzie, as though suspecting thing, made a spring, upset one of the | officers, darted past the other nd made for a copse near the edge of the bluff. Bang—bang! Two reports ran: The dog gave a loud yelp of sprang into the air and over the edge of the bl Splash! The two ¢ the edge of the over. They wait but only the fa “He's sunk.

Finally Marsh eyed her keenly. “You are Robert Barton's daughter?” he said. “Yes.” “Tell me about the dog.” Naomi did so. Her auditor listened. A strange expression stole over his time-scarred face. He drew towards him from the stand at his side a tin box and took some papers out of it. “Give those to your father and tell him to burn them =p,” e sald huskily. “I do this because you are the first human being who in years has done me a kind act.” And the next morning he wrote a | brief note to his lawyer, which ran: “Sell two of my bonds and send the 131,000 to Naomi Barton for a wedding present.” (Copyright, 1914. by W.
