Such was the way evidence was manufactured. "A poor lady you remember Mrs. Stubbs had a picture of her great-great-grandfather's great-grandfather.

"Do you think I'm afraid o' that cur?" sneers Frenchy. "Cur!" yells Bill. "Cur? Why you maul-headed, misshapen blotch on the face o' nature, what do you mean by callin' this dog a cur! I never saw this dog before to-day; but I'll bet ten to one that I can find out who his great-great-grandfather's great-great-grandfather was; an' I doubt if you know who your own father happened to be."
