[ J [J [J [J [ [ N ] L3 [ e |® LJ (Copyright.) Snarler Kelly peered through the bars into the prison cell in which sat, sullen, defiant and nursing a desperate revenge, his only son. “How is it, Jim? Cheer up, boy. Two years don't last long.” “No, it won't be long,” agreed the son. “Don’t worry about me.” “Jim, I know you never pulled that Job. Somebody’s stuck the goods on you an’' got you in queer.” The other looked up with slow in- quiry. “What makes you think so?” he asked. | “Think so! Weren’t you always too blamed honest to suit your dad? You'd act tough an’ ugly, an’ rough house it with the best of 'em; but I never could get you to be anything but honest. Somebody's crooked this on to you, an’ I'm going to find out who did it.” His father leered at him through half-closed eyes of Infinite cunning. “Be waiting for me when I come out,” assented Jim, with more of warmth and life than he had shown before, “and let me know who it is. I guess two years won't make me love . him more.” His father turned and passed into the light of the free air, while the son looked after him with a scowl of dreadful hate, Snarler Kelly plugged doggedly alongside the railroad track and medi- tated on ugliness. Even apart from the dismal desert landscape he had plenty of material for meditation, for to achieve ugliness had been the am- | bition of his degenerate life, and in that, at least, he had not failed. But it's the boy, Jim, with whom this story is chiefly concerned. The Snarler had built up fond hopes of being mighty proud of Jim, for at an early age Jim showed himself an apt pupil in the lessons of ugliness which his fond parent constantly instilled. One day, the time, in the estimation of the Snarler, being ripe for more § ® definite instruction in the training of hie offspring, he had broached unto Jim the pulling of a pretty bit of vil- lainy which was to nourish his own empty exchequer and start the young man upon his natural career. The boy listened until the man was through, his eyes on the ground and his accustomed scowl knitting his brow. Then he looked up. “That's thieving, ain’t it?” he in- quired. The Snarler was a little taken aback for a moment. To qualify things had never occurred to him. “Sure, Mike,” he said uneasily. | “Then count me out,” growled Jim. So the kid refused his career, and | the Snarler, after hiding his disgust in three days of oblivion, resumed his with the careful cowardice of the Petty sneak-thief, But at length there came a time when, tempted by a seemingly easy opportunity into larger operation, cow- ardice overreached care, and the trail ! became too hot for Snarler’s peace of mind. And so, with simple cunning, he had pulled the trick that saved him and sent his son to jail. Certainly it was upon ugliness that Snarler meditated as he plugged dog- gedly alongside the railroad track. Night drew in, and in the distance he saw against the dark sky the panting glare of an engine's exhaust. Ten minutes later he had swung himself thankfully into the open box car. He struck a match to find his bearings, and found himself staring into the barrel of a big revolver, too dazed to do anything but hold the match. The other came to his relief with a short laugh. “That's all right, bo,” said he. “I thought maybe you was a shack, an’ I'll put a shack’s light out before I'll hit the ties and starve in this desert. I'm a tough guy, I am.” “I don't blame you,” agreed the Snarler. “I was kicked off myself, Yesterday, after I'd lost my gun. If I hadn’t lost it—I'm a tough guy my- self,” he finished significantly, Overhead there was the sound of heavy shoes. Then there was the flicker of a light. With easy strength a brakeman had swung himself into the car, his lantern slung by a string i around his neck, “Hit the gravel!” he growled, as he held the light on them. I “Beat it,” snapped the tramp, push- | ing his big gun into the foreground. | But it was Kelly on whom the brake- man’s eye rested, and he lowered hie lantern quickly. “Beat it, d'ye hear!" again ordered | the gunman. Suddenly the brakeman dropped to | one knee. Like a flash his hand was in and out of his overalls pocket. The gunman’s bullet went high and passed man's shot took the other between the eyes, and he lurched forward—dead. With hardly a look at him the brake- man turned his gun upon the Snarler. “Turn around an’ put your hands be- hind your back,” he ordered. The Snarler laughed, a trifle uneas- {ly and sheepishly, “What's the matter, Jim?" said he. “Don’t you know your old dad? You sure are an ugly guy.” m put his face close to his father's. “You bet | v you. An’| | you bet I'm an ugly guy. You trained | ! me in ugliness, an’ I'm learning every | day. Your name's scratched op thi.s 8un, an’ there's a sheriff at the next stop. It's an ugly circle, an’ you've Idre-w it yourself. Turn around.” \ e Bk oo G B e 2 = PGP DBDODDEB DI GD DS BPEED lively children, here AN~~~ ok oo .02 o PIGPPBERDP Q.
