While Betty, mounted on a bench in the shed, was getting down her watering-can, Job, who during the afternoon had searched diligently but vainly for her, rounded the corner of the garden fence. He noted the open gate and sped towards it. As he entered the garden his eye fell on St. Elmo who stood absorbed and expectant.

Confusion followed. Harry was struck with a great fear. Was she dead? He had never seen a girl do so before. Would they hang him? “Put a li’l shoe-black on then an’ that’ll make me dark again,” advised Betty serenely. The bun in question must have had great dynamic force, the tail of Jethro bearing evidence to the internal power generated. “I must of looked like that Lize or the picter couldn’t of been took.” Ruefully he rubbed his bald crown..
