cused, martyr-like expression of Jim's
face, when asked if he knew ANYTHING
about it. He never said Tom did it. He was
above telling tales of a schoolmate. But
he glanced at Tom, who sat near by, as
much as to say: "Poor Tom! He don't
know any better than to do such things"
So Miss Wilton asked Joe Smith, whs
didn't know nothin' about it; and Tim
Benton, Jim Whites crony, who didn't
know, but guessed Tom done it,"
She went back to Tom, and, finding a
paper of snuff in his desk, she whipped
him severely-frst for bringing snuff to
school, and then telling lie.
After this punishment, vicariously yet
unwillingly borne, Tom rubbed into his
face still more dirt from his filthy jacket

sense of being miserably wronged, and,
tossing the still smoking fragment of a
hat into the brook, he watched it float
away, through fast falling tears.
There would only be more torture from
the boys, if he ventured out from his
hiding place till they were all gonehom
Added to this reason, for delay was the
