bit. Besides, there are lots of
chances.
"Huh!" jeered Billy the Ban
tam. you're a soft one. What
chances has us ducks got?"
Billy the Bantam, having deliv-
cred himself of all his available
pessimism, reached for a fuzzy
peach and settled down to gloomy
silence. Sandy, for purposes of
preservation, moved the cart a
slight distance away. It was very
lonely in the side street.
A quick, light step was mani
fest, turning in from the grand
avenue. A lady OF such evident
worldly prosperity stopped in the
dim light from Sandy's gasoline
lamp that both of the children of
the street took notice. There
were sparkling Jewels of price in
the lady's hair and upon her
throat and fingers; and she hesi-
tated as a person lost. There was
no other soul abroad upon the
little side street, and 1t was
dark.
Watch me-" said the Bantam.
81 know one Of your chances
when I sees it."
With that he slid over toward
the hesitant lady. She turned
upon him in alarm.
What do you want?" she de-
manded.
"Just chance, ma'am,"
chuckled Billy the Bantam; and
he jerked a precious pin from ma
danes collar.
"Help!" cried Nine. Santanelli,
rather softly; and Sandy, the fruit
boy, sprahg.
The Bantam had possessed
himself Of the looser throat and
hair ornaments and was Juggling
at the sparkling rings. Sandy
clutched him by the throat and
yelled.
Then Billy the Bantam released
madame and proceeded to crush
his friend Sandy. He was about
twice as big and three times as
lstrong-but Sandy held on. Billy
the Bantam drew his great arms
tighter and clasped the boys ribs
in constructor fashion--but Sandy
would not let go. Finally the
Bantam drew back one brawny
fist and banged and slapped the
apple boys head--but Sandy held
on in the grip that produces

away to the station, and they put

carriage.
