THE SUN

and shouted at i'm to get up.
Henery Walker was going to say
something bad, but e thought better
of 1t, and he lay there arr busting
with rage, and watching Bob out OF
the corner of one eye.
II quite forgot you was on my
club till Smith reminded me OF It,"
ses Bob. Don't you take farthing
less than ten pounds, Henery."
Henery Walker shut his eyes
again. 81 forgot to tell you made
up my mind this morning not to be-
long to your club any more, Bob"
he ses.
"Why didn't you come and tell
me, Henery, instead of leaving It till
1t was too late?" SEES Bob, shaking
his cad at i'm.
II shall want all that money" ses
Henery; in a weak voice. 81 might
ave to have wooden leg, Bob"
Don't meet troubles arr way,
Henery," SEES Bob, In kind voice.
81 We no doubt Mr.. Sutton'll throw
in a wooden leg IL you want 1t, and
look here, II he does, won't trouble
you for my arr Of It,"
He said goodnight to Henery and
went off, and when Mrs. Walker
went up to see 'ow Henery was get
ting on he was carrying on that
alarming that she couldn't do moth
Ing with i'm.
He was laid up for over q week,
though It's my opinion he wasn't
much hurt, and the trouble was that
nobody knew which gentleman 'ad
shot i'm. Mr.. Sutton talked It over
with them and at last, arter a good
deal O. trouble, and Henery pulling
up is trousers and showing them is
leg till they was fair sick of the
sight of 1t, they paid i'm ten pounds,
the same as they 'ad Bill.
It took Bob Pretty two DAYS to ret
his 'arf, but he kept very quiet about
II. not wishing to make fuss in the
village for fear Mr.. Sutton should get
to hear Of the club. At last he tod
Hehery Walker that e was going to
Wickham to see is lawyer about It.
and arter Smith the landlord 'ad
read the paper TO Henery and ex-
plained 'ow he'd very likely ave to
nay more than the whole ten pounds
then, e gave Rob his arr and said he
never wanted to see i'm again as long
rs he lived.
Rob stood treat IN Mt the Cauli-
flower that night. and said 'ow bad
he'd been treated The tears stood
IN ia ewes Almost. and at last q said
that II e thought there was Going to
he any more fuss Of that kind he'd
wind ND the club.
