After t-t.ibbiiig him he said to himself, " Goud (iiid, what have I done < Why did! kill the piur li tie boy?" Hu ihen Jiove back to town t-o the livery, and while tliH horse was being unhitched he decidid that his brjther was the cause uf all Ills trouble, and he decided to " tire ' hiiii.

On cuniiog back he met the party who lud found the boy, and asked them wlial was the msti'er, and if be could help them.
