Vncle Jerry gasped they're going to string me up!
making an ass of myself, if I didn't
look nut.
I managed to stumble forward
and they swept towards me, simul
taneous "Cncle Johns" on their
lips, and took me Into their arms.
None ut us spoke until I suddenly
remembered Deacon.
"W here did you find them,
Henry?" I demanded.
"I didn't find them, John. They
dropped in at headquarters."
Neither of them spoke. Haggard !
of face, Jerry w h I p p e d out a
cigarette, made a boggle of lighting j
it. and rlung it into the grate. At
that moment lie reminded me jf
the Andrew O g d e n, the reckless
! Peterson. I had imagined, but hail ;
; never known. f
j "Aim. J.undy was here," I said,
j to help things along:
j "Where is she now?" Henry cx-
I claimed. ' -
I "On her way down to hendquar-
tom. She has a good deal to tell
you."
Jerry broke in suddenly, ad
dressing the fireplace:
"I feel like a skunk!" And then,
miserably: "Vou are entitled to
take the hide off me. Uncle John."
At this Lucy ran to his side and
slid her arm around his waist, chal-
"Alrs. Lundy told you the truth,"
hVaaid earnestly, "liut she didn't
touch the meat of the story. It's
the queerest tale you or Captain
Deacon ever heard. It's a long
tale, too."
"Go at it, then."
"Airs. I.undy has told you how
Dad came to Torrldily." Jerry be
gan. "Vou know about him bring
ing I'nrle Jerry to Torrid it y. Vou
know how he got the panic, Ten-to-One,
and how he made a fortune
by gambling in mining properties."
"Vou don't need to go into
that, my boy." 1 said. "Tell us
what happened to your father
how Alex Peterson turned Into An
drew Ogden."
"Let him get on with his story,"
Deacon grunted.
' Jerry threw him a defiant look
that again reminded' me of 'Alex
Peterson.
"It'll come fast enough for you.
Deacon, when I get started." Jerry
growletl. ''I know how you feel
about Dad, Cncle John. It mut
come pretty hard. Rut when I tell
you about bis last night In Tor
ridity, you'll understand. It took
3j years to make Dad what he was

turn him Into the -man vou knew.

Poker game!"
1 flung the words hack at him.
There was a poker name, then?"
-The game-that cracked the
town, Cncle John."
Di somber eyes held me rigid
in my chair. "You mean they
played poker for a man's life."
"Vfs. Cncle John."
Who was the stake?" Deacon
rapped out-
Jerry ignored the question and
Deacon's face darkened: but Henry
made on response. I suppowe ho
realized that the boy couldn't be
expected to feel any too amiably
disposed towards him.
"Dad had a remarkable memory
for d'tails." Jerry went on, "and
he made those ghastly six hours
so' vivid that I felt as if I were
down there myself. Dad's six hours
began just before sunset on Alon
day. July Uth, I!6. He was In his
cabin on the Two Riothem prop
erty. Dad had been doing some
honk work, but he was about ready
to go into town himself when the
door flew open and. Cncle Jerry
tumbled Into the cabin. His eyes'
were wild and Dad asked him what
was wrong. It took him a minute
to get it out.
' 'Lundy the bunch are after
me.' he gasped. They're going
to string me up '
"Cncle Jerry got his wind, then,
and he started to pour his yarn
out on Dad. It seemed they'd taken
him down to Lundy's and given
him a miners' trial. Lundy had

must band him over to Lundy.
" 'It Isn't your funeral, Alex. I'm
going back. Jerry said.
"'What have you dono now?'
Dad roared at him. Uncle Jerry
had been up to every kind of devil
try imaginable.
"Jerry had started in to tell him

coming. It looked bad and Dad
knew it.
"'Come on, son! Pronto! he

'I shouldn't have come here, Alex.'

"He dragged open the door he

" "Keep your head out of sigli
