Mr. Locksley heard old Paul 's message with a smile . He , too , had been touched by Don 's splendid feat . `` Well , Curtis , I 'm very glad that it has turned old Paul in his favour . But we must shut Don up for a week or so , no matter how hard he takes it . You can see that for yourself . After all , he might have worried the sheep . And , anyway , he must be broken of his intimacy with Ventnor 's dog . '' Curtis acknowledged the justice of this and poor Don was tied up again . His captivity was not long , however , for Ventnor 's dog was soon shot . When Don was released , Curtis had an anxious time for a week or two . But no more sheep were worried , and Don 's innocence was triumphantly established . As for old Paul Stockton , it seemed as if he could not do enough for Curtis and Don . His ancient grudge against the Locksleys was completely forgotten , and from that date he was a firm friend of Curtis . In regard to Don , old Paul would say : `` Why , there never was such a dog before , sir , never ! He just talks with his eyes , that dog does . And if you 'd just ` a ' seen him swimming out to that schooner ! Bones ? Yes , sir ! Every time that dog comes here he 's to get the best bones we 've got for him -- and more 'n bones , too . That dog 's a hero , sir , that 's what he is ! ''
