Jack will do it."
But Jack had gone home to Elmen-

than a week beside his brother.
He can't get here in time she

Can't he?" Mrs. Waters eyes

shouted, Your money or your life.
Both boys laughed, and scuffled
over a shotgun that was standing in
the corner. In the struggle, the gun
was discharged, and Henry was
wounded, four shots penetrating his

Jack refused to leave his brothers
bedside foe moro than a week, until
he was ordered to do so by physi-

came so critical that doctors agreed
he could not live through the day. un-
