Well, I’d go as soon as I found he was in trouble." “They are slick ones, too, for they never leave any trace behind them. Them detectives from the city don’t seem to be able to do anything. They must come from the city over night an’ get back again aforc mornin’. But they can’t find any of the stolen goods -not in any of. the pawnshops.

That was the fifth or sixth in four weeks, an’ they lune had four more houses entered since then.” This was genuine news to me, and l was interested. J 01m continued: "You're always lucky. Now, if that had been me I'd trumped all the way an’ never met a soul unless it was somebody to hold me up.” “Hold you up!” I said disdalnfully. “A man of your size and age afraid of being held up by highwaymen?” “I never have been, but there are so many burglaries goin’ on roun’ here that it makes me feel creepylike When I’m out on the road after dark.” “I hadn’t heard of many robberies,” I replied; “none except that of the Stetson mansion the day before Mr. Goddard engaged me.” " ning.

I felt great spurts of {hot blood pouring from the Dane’s §throat on my hands and face, while 3' the brute rolled over with an angry ’ growl. “You’re an early bird to get back so soon in the mornin’,” he said, “an’ your work half done, too, before break- fast.” “I got a lift most of the way out,” I answered. “I caught a milk wagon coming this way.” T was daybreak before I recovered from my fright, cleaned my clothes of the blood and dirt and returned to my quarters in the barn. John was not up yet, and when he finally came down to the stable I was busily engaged in grooming the horses. The experience of the night had left me a trifle pale and agitated, for in all my experience I had never been quite so near death’s door. But John’s was an unsuspect- ing nature, and I had nothing to fear from him. I heard footsteps on the lawn back of us, and, remembering: the athletic form of the doctor and his faithful bodyguard, I obede the words of my master and hurried from the spot, but when I turned to look for my deliverer I found that he had disappeared too. I jumped to my feet and saw facing me, with the bloody knife in his hand, Mr. Goddard. For an instant I was speechless and almost helpless, but his warning voice brought me to my senses. “You have only a few minutes to es- cape, They are coming. Run!” But before the white teeth could close upon me I saw a flush of some- thing over the hound-'5 head; it seemed to my dazed mind like a fork of light- He sprang upon me with a snarl. of his dead mate he sprang upon me with a snarl that I can remember to this day.

I bowed to receive my fate, deter- mined, however, to sell my life dearly. him several feet over my head. Be- fore he could turn upon me I had cocked my revolver, and as he made a savage dive toward me I exploded it full in his face. The range was so short that the explosion must have partly stunned him, for he rolled over and kicked a few times and then lay quite still. But I had no time to prepare for the second one.

Either he had someobject to attain through me or he'wished to make me his confederate in order to dispose of the goods he must have col- lected, for I had no doubt that the se- ries of robberies in the neighborhood had been committed by him. But, then, he had saved my life once, and he undoubtedly knew human na- ture well enough to satisfy himself that there was no danger of my be- traying him. He had in reality made a coup d’etat in rescuing me from the fangs of the savage Dane the night be- fore. He could easily have stood aside and let the bound finish me, placing me beyond all possibility of ever after- ward annoying him, but his interfer- ence, coupled with my sudden change of position which brought me daily in- Mr. Goddard’s eyes flashed sharply as he Spoke. but I turned away With- out furthcr remark.

You will have quite a responsible po- sition, and I will have to trust much to your honesty and tact until this burglar scare passes away.

There was certainly a very peculiar relationship springing up between us. I did not let him finish, for I knew that he would only get himself into deeper water by displag mg his cowar-d ice.

John -Was thirteen years youngerithan Samuel and six years older than Charles. Of his early boyhood only one incident is recorded. On a February night in 1709 the rector? was burned. The family, hurrying out in terror, left the boy John sleeping in his attic chamber, and he was taken out through a Window only an instant before the blazing roof fell in upon his bed. Wesley always retained a vivid recollection of the scene, and more than a half century later, when, thinking himself near death, he composed his epitaph, he de scribes himself as “a brand plucked from the burning." On taking my (lepartnre I was re- minded by the 11 ‘ml physician that his medicine had probably preserved my health. Nevertheless a number of nurses and attaches had died of the fever. despite his vaunted medical abil- ity. Before leaving the institution I ac- quainted the doctor with the fact that I had not used his medicine, but had relied solely upon my onion-lemon trratment. when he said it was a won- der that it had not killed me and if it had that I had deserved it.
