an easy matter to him, he thought, ne
scowled and as she saw ne was growing
angry and was not going away as re-
quested, she did not give nun uihe 10
speak but brought the revolver from
behind her, took aim and placing nef
finger on the trigger as II II was ioaoeo
she said, Go, or | will shoot. >,
The looks of the revolver and the
daring woman irighteheu INC amp on.
he started to depart. But the tlough'
came to his mind that he had not seen
or heard of a dog SO he quickly came
back, snatched the revolver from the
woman'S hand and threw H. lie thoush.
he could conquer the woman anu ee,
what he was seeking, but dogs he couid
not master ana considered them more
dangerous than revolver ana DARING
woman.
When Ellis snatched the revolver II
surprised Mrs Hesler but she became
angry. But what was the use! She
dared not fight with a man. Another
thought came to her as they were using
rather harsh words; she could pretend
there was dog about the iar'h anu CAL

Mrs. Hesler called again TO fiao anu
Ellis thought then the dog would soon
be there and he did not care TO nave all
interview with the animal. :,
He turned his heels, utterihg an oath
and left the premises in snort tine'
