him till the end, but before he died
he left me everything. 1t was all
fixed up legal and proper by his
own wish and l can prove it, though
there was little enough to leave, for
the sheep ranch was a wretched
failure, and he'd been too proud TO
write the truth home. Before he

him, he told me how he and his
