“The poor beggar has sure been punished,” said the soldier. “Getting a little interesting,” ventured Bob. Johnny Blossom sat down again with wonder in his eyes. It was all so amazingly queer. Suddenly his mother said, “You must not think, little John, that your father and I are altogether glad about this.” He found Mr. Taylor busy over some blue prints.
