they arrived at the barn, they louno
the doors barred and padlocked, ana
n was not so dark but that Neal could
read scrawled across the new bar
rier the chalked words: 'Trespassers
will be prosecuted according to the
law"
II had begun to rain and man and
dog had tramped long distance that
afternoon. Neal looked for temporary
shelter. He found it at the side OF the
house in a vine-embowered arbor. A
long bench invited him to rest ana
then unconsciously to slumber.
II must have been three or four
hours later when Neal awoke. Tow
ser was pulling at his coat Neal sat
up and then sprang to his feet. -
from the inside Of the house an echo
ing scream of terror or pain rang out.
"Something wrong" uttered Neal
all his keen senses shrewdly alert IN
an instant, "and Towser knows It,"
The dog, with an eager impatient
glance back at his master, had start
ed for the house. Neal followed. The
front door was open. Down the hall
the dog stole to where a door stood
partly ajar. Beyond 1t Neal peered for
the moment. Mortified and spellbound.
Across a table in his night dress lay
the hermitlike occupant Of the house
old Jacob Wise. He was tied across
it. There was a fire in the stove, and
stuck between it's red hot bars was a
poker. A rough-looking man was
standing over the aged Wise.
Now then, I've got you safe and
sound" he was saying. you've got a
fortune hidden away in some odd cor
ner of this old house and want 1t,
understand"
Jacob Wise made no response. The
robber drew the poker from the stove.
Tell where that money is" he spoke,
"or I'll give you touch Of this"
The intruder waved the red hot
poker menacingly. He moved 1t across
the bare soles of his victims feet.
I'm tell! 1t burns! I'll tell!'
shrieked the tortured old man.
Just then Neal pushed open the
door. The intruder turned quickly
Neal sprang at him. They grappled
Then the robber pressed revolver
against the side of his opponent.
The last thing that Neal Barrett
saw as he sank unconscious to the
floor was the dog, his teeth at the
throat Of the wretch who had downed
his master.
The waking moment came days
later, although Neal did not realize
that fact when he first reused up
In amazement he stared. Old Jacot
