Time fer school!” called Mrs. Wopp. Betty, satisfied that after Moses’ frenzied ministrations she was quite presentable, hastened into the house. Moses fled into the yard where he became very active splitting wood, his guilty conscience adding efficiency to his arm.,“There Nancy,” she whispered, “is a sunbeam for breakfast dipped in milk.”,“Whoa, Josh! Whoa, Jake!” he roared, apparently exerting himself to the utmost to hold in the skittish pair, but in reality giving a few practised touches on the reins which defeated his commands.,“Would you like to live in the city?”,CHAPTER X.—THE CIRCUS.，“No, no, the Fo’castle! I—Here they come!” Billy set down some cups with dangerous haste and ran out.，“Now Mis’ Stephens, call the boys,” requested Mrs. Wopp who was the busiest of the group.，It was on the first of these busy days in San Francisco that the big counterfeiter saw at a distance May Nell’s father; saw the child’s pictures posted in the galleries, hurried back to the “Ha’nt,” and planned the kidnapping as a chance for “getting even” with Mr. Smith, who had discharged him years before for dishonesty. But Billy had thwarted him, brought him safely to justice for all of his crimes.The boy went into the street again, mounted[208] and rode rapidly round the corner.
