the grocery man had fixed darulng needle
80 That by pulling a string the needle would
ny up through the hole and run into the DO,
about an inch. The grocery man had
been laying for the hoy for two DAYS. and
nov that he had got him right over the hole
the hsst time. it made him laugh to think
how he would make him jump and yell, and
AS he edged off and got hold OF the string
the boy looked unconscious Of impending
danger. The grocery man pulled, and the
hoy ~at suii. lie pulled again and again.
and finally the bo, ,aid
"lvs, Il j. reported that We had burglars
over there On. you needn't pull that string
my more. heard YOU was setting frap
for me, and put piece Of board inside my
pants. and thought would lrt YOU exercise
