The Understanding Heart By PETER B. KYNE ■•You’re u fast worker, Mr. Garland,” (lie judge replied smilingly. ‘•\Vlu has a fountain pen? My Inkwr 11 is, ns usual, empty and a mausoleum for defunct flies.” The affidavits appeared in duplicate judge Kenly paus« with pen upliftid “How come,” he queried. "Some more of Mr. Garland’s fast work, Judge,” Bentley informed him ••One set of affidavits, together with the retold of the sworn testiihony adduced here this morning, goes to the Parole Board. Mr. Garland will deliver those documents. The other set hips to the governor, I deliver them. "1 expect to induce the governor to request the Parole Board to take up the Mason matter immediately; meanwhile he wil have had a chance to skim through the mess of papers' I've handed him and get all the angles of the case straightened out, so that when the Parole Hoard recommends a pardon the pardon’ll be all made out and waitin' for the victim. We don't figger on levin’ Bob Mason in the jug a minute longer'n necessary.’’ “You and Grland set a fast pace, Bentley" the district attorney de dared, ‘ but I'll try to keep up with you. The judge and 1 will see if we can’t set a tecord for. bringing the grand jury together in a hurry and getting an indictment against Jethroe. An indictment should tend to congeal this important matter in the minds of the governor and the Parole Board.” “That's right.” said Bentley soberly “You get that indictment out. Jim. and then when I go down to see the governor at Sacramento I'll continue right on to San Francisco (it’s only ninety miles further, snatch that skunk Jethroe out of his office, put the bracelets on him and yank him back to Siskiyou. I want to confine that animal for at least twenty-four hours in the worst rom in my hotel.” "In that event,” the judge suggested, "plan to arrive here on Saturday morning. I’ll he away on a fishing trip and not available to set Jethroe’s bail until my return or. Monday morning.” “Spoken like a man,” Bentley de dared. He glanced triumphantly arount the court room and it was plain that a plan of more than usual agreeahleness was hatching in his honest brain. “When Uncle Charley Canfield died.” he announced, “I sort o’ figured the old man would have in his estate some assets so plumb illegal they couldn't be introduced in court. So I went over to his shanty and confiscated said assets in the name of the law. Feller eitizens, if you-all will repair to my humble abode Pll slake your thirsts with four or five mint juleps made from Uncle Charley’s Orade-A. eight-year-old moonshine — and believe me. Unde Charley was an artist. I asked the missus to have them juleps ready by ten-thirty” “Zeke,” the judge reminded t.he honest fellow, “you’re subject to arrest for that.” “Which this is the only occasion, in all my professional life, that I can truthfully say I'm proud an’ happy to he sheriff of this county. Come on, boys. Hurrah for hell!” Judge Kenly removed his leg from ih earm of his chair and reached for his hat. “Think God,” he murmured, “this session of my court has been informal. If the church party ever hears of this I'll get a run for my monev at the next election.” CHAPTER 55 Fifteen men descended upon the Bentley home and found chairs and table on the secluded hack porch. “Hey, ma.” the sheriff shouted, “the customers are here.” Mrs. Bentley promptly appeared with the juleps, and while the visitors solemnly toasted the lady and pro-

"Monica Dale or Boh Mason or 1 will lift that mortgage for the sheriff.” That night he went to San Fran cisco and the following day appeared before a meeting of the Parole Board.
