Tragically and without warning there had sped around the corner of the public square a panting, bristling, wild-eyed collie dog. Its fleetness was of a loyal, intelligent dumb animal bent upon some mission of vital ur- ‘ that of a greyhound, its progress that j gency. l “Old Judge Warren's dog!” shouted a dozen voices in unison. “What's he up to—gone mad?” “No, he's been hurt—look at the blood on him!" The last speaker was the village t smith. To him both dog and owner ! had been known for years. ]Don had been always friend and fa- With him vorite. The animal swung {its blood- shot gaze towards him. There was pathos and pleading in the glance, a' low whimpering howl, but Don kept straight on until he reached the stone steps leading up into the little county courthouse. It was there, ever since he had done with judgeships and active business cares, that Judge Warren had come dally to keep in the routine of old ac- quaintanceship. That morning he had | been missed. And now his usual com- panion had appeared in a manner that indicated the mysterious, the terrify- 1n§. the tragic. For only a moment Don faltered at the steps. Then he sprang up them. The crowd followed. There was a sud- den hush over all the scene. It was as Would Linger All Day and Night Near the Closed Doorway of the House. times hml invaded the peaceful ham- let, hxinglng in its trail a sanguinary token of impending disaster. And then an awesome thing happened, The dog proceeded courtroom glon, but the presiding judge sat in his accustomed place listening to some informal discussion of half a dozen lawyers. At the edge of the dais Don paused. As if appealing to justice, the lifted its head. It uttered one shrill, curdling, mournful howl. It was the cry for vengeance, | tor justice, blood for blood! The ani- mal turned swiftly, but first swept the |facos of those near to it and gave a | plaintive whine as though beseec ulng them to follow. The truth was known in an hour. | came to the office of Walter Burdett. | “You were the attorney for Judge Warren,” he sald. “Were?” repeated Walter, startled. “Then—" “We found him murdered in eold | blood, the safe sacked. master’s feet, all but | death.” bleeding | Instantly the young attorney set the | wheels of justice in motion. For 24| hours the entire country was scoured. No clew to the murderer or the mis ing plunder was discovered. Then came a reluctant m gion for Burdett. Judge W n ha ! but one living relative in the world { Eva, his adopted niece. She was at a | boarding school 200 miles away. Some one must advise her of the death | of her only friend in the world. Bur- dett departed on his sad errand.

There was a description of a stranger seen about the town the day of the murder, but it was vagus and led to no results of value. Very often Walter visited the now deserted home of the dead jurist. It became necessary. Don, recovering from his fearful wounds, refused to leave the grounds. He would linger all day and night near the closed door- way of the house, looking up and down ‘ the road constantly as if expecting some one he was looking for to pass by. Walter finally dragged the dog | house to the spot, chained up Don | and morning and night brought him his | meals. There came a climax. One moon- | light evening Walter had just attend- ed to the wants of the poor, faithful "animal when an automobile sped by. Don had made a sudden leap, with a sharp, wild cry. He tugged at his chain, he glared after the disappear- ing machine. Plainly in the clear moonlight Walter saw that it held but one person, a man, apparently a stranger in the district. | Don leaped into the air. He bit his chain, he was fairly frantic. A speedy | thought impressed Walter as, follow- ing the automobile with his eye, he saw it turn into a wooded stretch away from the traversed roadway. Had the dog's instinct guided him to recognize in the automobile the | slayer of his master? The impression led Walter to trace down the machine. It had halted in a dense grove, one edge of which was bounded by a deep ravine. There the stranger was reach: ing into the trunk of a hollow tree. He drew out a small iron box. Walter recognized it as the missing posses: slon of his dead client. “You are the man!” he shouted, | springing upon the murderer. “And you know too much!” growled out the other. They clinched. Walter fell underneath. The man had drawn a knife. Kneeling upon the breast of his adversary, he raised it menacingly. At that moment there was a metallic Jangling, then a weird shrill scream. Don, broken free from his captivity, had sprang upon the shoulders of the man. Over and over they rolled. ‘With a gasp Walter saw them disap pear over the edge of the ravine. There—the man dead, his victim's cruel fate avenged, Don stark and stiff, but his teeth sunk deep in the man's throat—both were found by | neighbors summoned by Walter. The shadow of the tragedy never en- tirely was dissipated in the life of Eva Warren, but in the sunshine of the love of Walter Burdett she forgot most of 8 bitterness.
