up with his gun and banged off both barrels after the motor car, by this
time honking down the trail."
"By Jove! he deserved it," said the father. "Those motor fellows make me
long to do murder at times."
"That's because you have no car, Dad, of course."

Nothing doing!"
"Well, Barry, you do seem to have run foul of Mr. Duff."
"Three times, dad. But each time prevented him from breaking the law and
doing himself and others injury. Would you have let him off this last
time, dad?"
"No, no, boy. Human life has the first claim upon our care. You did
quite right, quite right. Ungovernable fool he must be! Shouldn't be
allowed to carry a gun."
"So Bayne declared," said Barry.
