Even Boston Blackie would have failed to recognize the changed man in his quaint Indian garb. "My name is Donald Dutton ; could my father's name be Harry Dutton?" the boy asked one day. With a dread feeling Hairpin Harry again admitted that such was a possibility. And then, confidentially, the boy told him : "There's a bad man from jail who's been worrying mamma, and his name is Harry Dutton. She told my new father about it last night, and asked him to send the bad man back to jail, and he said he would."' As the boy innocently tortured his father the man looked away unseeingly, a look of pain and desperation growing as his cup of bitterness was filled to overflowing. At first he felt no renewed bitterness against the woman, but only a great aching grief when he realized that she had made it impossible for him to see his son again.
