8 GUARD AND TACKLE I slowly unwrapped the package. I've got some old bread and meat for the dog, I answered. Under grandfather's piercing eye I somehow managed to whistle for Shep. Around the corner of the house he came bounding. I-Ie barked eagerly and sat up waiting. Into his open mouth I dropped one by one, Sue -Iane's chicken sandwiches. There was a rush from the doorway and before me stood Sue Jane, her little hands clenched, her eyes blazing. ' David! she cried. How could you! I-Iow could you ! Then she broke down, crying. Grandfather came slowly over to us, and silently stood looking down accusingly. Children, he said at last and his voice was stern, what does this mean ? We told. Both of us stammered out parts of the story and he pieced it together. When we had finished, he left us without a word and entered the house. I-Ie was slipping his pistol into his belt when he reappeared. Where are you going, grandfather? cried Sue Jane. To get him, he answered. He walked straight to the ravine and was soon lost to sight. Oh, David, sobbed Sue jane. I-Ie will be killed I Uwho ?!J Grandfather! We must save him. Hurry 1 Sue jane started off at a run. I followed. We plunged down the ravine, bounding over stones and brush, around the bends, and down to the river. There we caught up with grandfather. Sue .Iane's cave man was sleeping on the banks of the stream. In the open! VVhen we had told him he must be careful! Grandfather Walked up and stood above him. Get up! he commanded. The figure stirred and stretched himself sleepily. Slowly he arose. David, said Sue jane in a frightened whisper, what shall we do ? Nothing, I answered. The cave man was staring at grandfather somewhat insolently. Grandfather never said a word, but turned back the lapel of his coat, showing his sheriff's badge. The look of insolence suddenly vanished from the face of the fugitive. In its place shone amazement, fright, dismay. It was like the transforination scene from Dix Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One moment he was arrogant and disdainful, the next, cower- ing and sheepish. Grandfather calmly slipped a pair of handcuffs on his prisoner and slowly led him away. Not once did our cave man look at usg his eyes were fastened on the ground. - I wonder which of us three felt most ashamed, he, Sue jane, or myself. Poor Sue jane! She had erected a marble altar before which she worshipped, and, suddenly, before her very eyes, it had been smashed to a thousand pieces. It had proved to be common clay, after all. No wonder she packed her trunk that night and left for home the next day. But her last letter was rather cheerful. Since I've met Jack, she wrote, I have forgotten about our cave man. Try to forget him, too. But David, it was tragic, wasn't it ? Yes, Sue jane, it was. C. H. P.,'l4.
