He tramped the 150 miles to Satsop in a line as straight as the crow flies, scorning trains and even roads From then on he spent nearly all his time in the woods, His mother died in 1910, and they sent for John to come to the funeral. He came as far as the edge of the clearing only. His father died soon after. He refused to come to the house. HOW CLIMAX WAS REACHED. On one of his infrequent visits to the homestead he asked for Ed “Ed's gone hunting with one of the dogs,” was the reply. “Yours.” The Tornow boys, all crack shots, kept many hounds on the place. Some of them were thoroughbreds and valuable. Matter-of-fact Ed appraised a dog by its hunting ability and its market value. ‘Therefore he laughed at John’s old hound, a crotchety, cross-grained, rheumatic, wheezy, mangy brute. John loved the hound because it loved solitude and couldn't talk. John sat on the doorstep and waited. When Ed returned he said to John: “TI got tired of having that dog of yours give out on me and having to carry him home, so I shot him.” At that instant there came to the ears of the brothers the joyful yapping of a hound. It was Ed’s thoroughbred—a beautiful bitch—delighted that her master had returned and hurrying to his side. The graceful animal raced across a disy tant field, and gathered her muscles to clear the fence. She leaped And when she was in midair John Tornow’s rifle cracked. It was a wonderful shot—from the hip. And the hound fell and lay still, a bullet through her heart. Ed's cry of surprise and anger choked his throat. Steely i-black eyes were blazed into his. “Shot my dog!” In that instant the white heat of his rage worked as a In that instant he be- came the beast-man. “I'M NEVER COMING BACK.” “I'm going back into the woods,” he said in a dead voice. “And I ain't ever coming out. Don't send for me, for I won't come. Don't come after me; I'll kill you if you do.” Without_a word of parting, he turned on his heel. Ed saw think it. He must be if he killed all those people.
