twenty -one, by the advice OF his friends
he went TO the old man TO beg, or IL

view was q stormy one; the father few

father alive. -Four months after the
visit, the people In the neighborhood
OF the old farmhouse began to talk of
not having seen old Roger Waldron

II was decided TO scale the barricade
and investigate. They found the old
man dead on the floor. He had evil

he could claim was the old half de-
