When he finished the dog whined at the closed gate, and Michel heard the scratching of hta claw* upon the wood. He was ready now, and quite certain. Jean had come hack then, near to the former home. And Jean came down to the gate and opened It. "Get away with your Addle." he eald, gruffly. “We are poor folk here." "I am rich, then—now!" answered Michel, and sprang at hla throat.
