“Not in the house; in this room, yes.” Nancy had jumped on a chair, and when Jethro pranced up to her again she promptly boxed his ear. The blow, delivered with such a soft paw, could not have been very severe, but the feelings of the pup were badly hurt. He did not yelp, but his brown eyes grew solemn and wistful and he ceased his antics. He put his forepaws on the rung of the chair and looked long and appealingly at Nancy.

Late that night when Billy’s mother followed him to the Fo’castle, he asked, “Are you pleased with it, little mother?” In this mood he turned into the main road and came upon Jackson limping, bloody, and crying. “All right, Doc,” the other replied a bit gruffly; “suppose we catch ’em before we fight about the divvy.” “No worse ’n you, I reckon,” was the rueful response. Billy’s appearance justified Jimmy’s speech; for freckles were standing out large and ghastly from one or two very white spots on the younger boy’s battered face. “Can you get home alone?”.
