frightened sobbing upon realizing
that he had betrayed the manner oil

knowledge that the man he and his
family were protecting was a danger

The young officer had no misgiv-

You can't get anything more out
of him-he's too frightened-and it
wouldn't do any good If you did. In
fact, he doesn't know any more than
we do now. The things we must con-

few minutes ago, and that he cam

That's right 20 He struck his
hands together. And can't leave
here until my buddy comes back

sister, you"-he turned to the sobbing
Willie--"and stop your noise. No
body's going to hurt you"
The Broken Window
The boy scudded away and the
young officer turned to the window
and put his arm gingerly through the
broken pane.
'I'll bet you can track that fellow
by the blood" he said. when he
couldn't get the window open and
smashed this pane he must have stuck
his arm through and got a purchase
on it that way. Look at these jagged
edges. They must have gone right
into him. They're like Indians for

broken window glass, and turned
away with the vague terror l think

The young officer stopped short and
looked at me. ..
1T is funny" he said Breaking
glass usually can be heard above
every other noise. But the dog was
barking and growing and leaping at
us when we rode into the yard and
the fugitive must have taken just that
minute to get out. The man who
lives here ran out and quieted the
dog and shut him up when he saw
us. ! guess he had sense enough to
know he couldn't monkey with U.S."
"HavcJ You Looked?"
I suppressed a smile at his uncon-
