rife', his inseparable companion. At •
kat a man carne back to that region, -
all the way' 'front Texas, with the
avowed object of killing this old man,.
and so avenging a relativo who had
been one of his many victims. • Oue

through the woods his pursuer tired at
him from behind a treeThe aim vas

dead, After some time tho maim who
had shot hint put his head out from be-

last moment had come, and he had
too much good. sense to ask for his
life.
