OF its making the policeman suspishious.
And for that reason he started right off on
the run too. SO started right off on the
run too. And everybody kept it up on
the run like that, with Peaty first and me
last till we were clear round the back side OF
Peaty's house and then ev'rybody stopped
The reason was Peaty had skwirmed right
through littel hole under the back poarch
SO there really wasn't anything left of him.
Well of course the policeman was quite
fat, so he looked at the littel hole as if he
didn't hardly know just what to say, and
then he hollered, Come out of there you
ittel devel.
Isuppose that isn't very nice to write but
he said it so I have to.
Come out of there you ittel devel, he
said, and / said before, that Peaty was real
bashfull about talking so he didn't give him
any answer.
Comesout of there you ittel theft, the
policeman hollered, but Peaty was too
bashfull to make him any reply.
say Come outof there before ring your
neck, the policeman said, hollering right in
the littel hole. Do you want to appear in
court tomorrow morning? he said. Do you
want to go to thGreformertory for the SUM
mer?
WelIwhen Peaty didn't make the slight
est answer to that thought would have
to explane lite about him to the poleece-
man. So / said, He hears you alright I
guess, but he's Sc bashfull he doesn't really
like to answer
Bashfulll the policeman hollered, Bash
full did you say Well p'raps he won't
be feeling so bashfull by the time / get
through with him, p'raps he'll get over
being so .bashfulI by the time rip the
poarch down
| was SCARED at that. Because knew
Peaty's aunt would come out if he ripped
the poarch down and she would be no
help at all. ] was so SCARED said, P'raps
if ! spoke to Peaty he would answer. /
thought he was acquainted with me so it
might incouridge him.
Well speak ahead, the policeman said.
And tell him from me that if he don't
answer III ring his neck.
was getting most as SCARED as Peaty by
this time, so put my mouth down at the
littel hole and I was so kind of confuzed I
said, Do you want to go to the reformertory
PeatyF He says if you answer he'll ring
your neck.
You see was kind Of mixed up and /
guess didn't incouridge him as much as I
meant to- Anyway he didn't feel incour-
idged enough to answer. And it seemed to
make the policeman feel ittel more
aggravated than before.
Well if you amt the werst ittel cuppel of
fools going. he said, and he kind of jerked
out his watch as if he had to get somewhere.
Icant waste any more time with you either,
he said, but you can tell that young timber
legs from me that I'll settle with him yet,
and before very long too, he said.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1915-09-16

/ Peaty didn't say anything to that and /
thought she'd ask him what made him look
so damp and derty. But he usyually looks
quite derty and l guess she didn't notice
about the dampness. Anyway the next
thing she said was, Its work work work for
some and play play play for others. Now
you get to your chores in short order
got to return this where it belongs first,
Peaty began saying, and then he stopped all
of a sudden as if he had got SCARED The
reason was the policeman was walking
right across the yard I thought for sure
Peaty would run. | guess the policeman
thought so too.
Hold on now, hold on now, he said, and
walked right up and took hold his showlder
and reached down for the shatelane bag.
Peaty saw what he was doing and kept a
hold of it so tight thought first p,raps the
policeman wouldn't get It. But of course
he is much stronger than Peaty, and he just
gave his wrist kind of twist and then he
pulled it right away. When he did it Peaty
locked at him for a minute something the
way he did that time at me on the bridge
He looked as if he wouldn't have thought
he would have done it. Then Peaty began
to cry. / guess for one thing p'raps the
policeman hurt him and another thing I
guess he was so discouraged he couldn't
help it. But the policeman began to
laugh.
Well it seems to be quite loss to you, he
said, What S inside this thing anyway? And
he began to unfasten the shatelane bag.
Then Peaty did something that didn't
seem anything like Peaty at tall. | don't
believe he could have done it if he hadn't
got so kind Of worked up and all, because
he ought to see it wouldn't do him any
good, but he started in to pervent him.
You stopl he hollered, You stop, it don't
belong to you, you give it back! You stop
opening that lady's perse! You you give it
backl And Peaty started right in to fight
the policeman.
I didn't really blame him for it and yet of
course / could see it wouldn't do him any
good, because the policeman was very
broard and big and have already said Peaty
was real narrow and littel. He must have
seen his size couldn't be in his favor, and yet
he was so kind Of worked up and all guess
it didn't make any difference to him.
You you give it back! he kept hollering.
That was the way it sounded, kind of STAN
merry and crying at the same time. You
you give it back You amt no business to
do like that when 1 was takin it to her
You amt no right to be doing like that when
l was takin it to her! You give it back!
Well hold on now, the policeman said
and he took him in one hand and Just layed
him right down on the ground and put his
foot on him just the way you would on a
crokav hall tn Keen If still Peafv could seq
now it wouldn't do him any good to fight
any more, so he just seemed to put his head
down in the dirt and cry kind Of to himself
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1915-09-16

The policeman walked off then and
just lay there watching the littel hole
Pretty soon / spoke into it again.
You can come out if you want to, Peaty,
said.
And Peaty came out.
He looked around the yard as if he was
going to make sue, and then the first
thing he said was surprise. What he
said was, amt got the bag, but I guess
/ know who has.
Well I thought for sure that Peaty was
telling lie.
Why you have got it too! | said.
You showed it to me.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1915-09-16

him off to one side and picked up Peaty
from the ground
There, she said, if you know where that
belongs you 60 and return it. You amt
needed any more, she said to the poleece-
man.
We'll the policeman was so surprised he
just looked at her and then he looked at her
again And then | thought 1'raps he was
going to laugh But she WASH t seeming to
bother with him any more, and / could see
it wasn't any time to stop and find o.
whether he laughed or not. Because it
looked as il Peaty's aunt was OH QUA side
now and she might change any minute.
Besides it wasn't sure about the poleece-
man, and if he wanted he could interfere
again any minute.
Come on Peaty, / said, and took hold
of his hand to incouridge him and we
started to go right out through the yard
Peaty's face was real streaked and derty
looking from what had happened and of
course he was kind of stTeaked and muddy
all over from the brook and all, but he began
smiling just littel too.
guess she'll be surprised when / give it
to her, he said.
He looked down at the shatelane bag and
walked along as if he felt real smart to have
it, and as if he was going to give it to her
now, no matter what, and we came round
by the front of the house. 1t looked as if we
couldn't of arranged it better too Because
just as we came round there, the front door
opened and there were Mother and Mrs
Cotton Furbush standing there together
They didn't see us first so we went across
%6e. al for fhor
stopped. You give it to her, he whispered.
He was SCARED.
Well just then Mrs Cotton Furbush
looked at US. She is quite fat and largeand
wasall drestup, and / guess stopped myself.
But Mrs. Furbush was looking right at
her bag as if she couldn't believe it. Why,
did / drop my bag2 she said, Why hadn't
missed it. Did drop it?
told her yes and Peaty found it.
thought sure he would run away then.
But he didn't He just stood there. Of
course he looked real pail and small and of
course he was streaked too, but he stood
there and that was real brave for Peaty.
Why thank you, she said, How careless of
me- And this is Peaty is it?
She smiled at him and then she smiled
back at Mother as if it was real funny. Our
companions are.sometimes helpful after all
she said. Thank you Peaty.
Then she turned to 60 down the walk.
Good by, she said, and smiled some more.
And Mother was still looking Just the way
she did when she said that about COM
panion for the afternoon, and bringing up
boys. So / stood there beside of Peaty and
shesstoodsthere in the doorway reaching out
her hand to me and smiling.
Good by, she said to Mrs. Cotton Fur
bush

No l amt, he said, / was so SCARED l
dropped It. ! bet Peat's got it.
When he said that, Of course it looked
as if there was going to be trouble for
somebody sure / don't know whether
Peaty was thinking about than or not, but
he went round the end of the house where it
has another littel poarch to keep milk bot
ties on. It doesn't seem to ever look very
nice anywhere round Peaty's house, but l
think it is partly because his aunt is apt to
throw things out il they are in the way.

And he got up and walked off as if he felt
real smart about it. But he didn't go far
either. He stopped as if there was some
thing the matter The matter was his aunt
was coming out through the yard. / felt
kind of discouraged to see her, because she
wasn't so very nice and of course there
couldn't anybody tell what she would say.
What she said was, Anybody d think there
wasn't anything to do round here.

same time. and Just as Peaty stood there
like that he went by. Or he would have
if it hadn't been for Peaty. But you see
he noticed the shatelane bag.
4 HuIlo, be said, what's that.
j Peaty wss very easy SCARED and would
almost always run when man or lady
spoke to him. Well he didn't make any
difference with the policeman, and when
he stopped and said Hullo, what's that,
why Peaty was most scared to death.
Hold on the policeman said, but Peaty
startedright of on the run with Peat behind
nm. D0f course it was really about the
Werst thingh he could have done on account
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1915-09-16

But he said one more thing to the poleece-
man too. What he said was, You you
didn't have any business to open that ladys
perse.
Well just then something unexpeckted
happened. 1t was Peaty's aunt did it.
What she did was walk up to the poleece
man so unexpeckted he wasn't really look
ing for her, and take the shatelane bag right
out of his hand. Then she kind of brushed
