He waited for an hour but Anson did not come. How was he to know that Billy had undergone a change of heart? Had he not caught the cold glint in Billy's eyes, when he had sneered at him in the class? Previous experiences had taught him caution. He had watched his brother go out behind the wood-pile and had promptly made tracks in the opposite direction.

He had caught the gasp at the end of the speaker's words; now he knew where lay the stranger's weak spot—his wind! "Well, who did?" snapped Billy, glowering at his two bosom friends.
