WOriu OUTDOORS was empty OF
everything except hot sunshine
Penrod Schofield, in the saw
dust box of his fathers stable, was aS
silently busy as diligent young worm
In the heart of a nut.
Favorlng this comparison, the saw
dust box was naturally almost as dark
as the inside Of nut Is believed to be
but Penrod worked by the light of a
lantern, which raised the temperature
of the box to a degree that would have
frightened stoker, but subtracted
nothing from the fever of composition.
Penrod was writing.
He was writing CHAPTER TENTH
of his secret novel, Harold RAMO-
REF THE ROAD-AGENT OR WILD
LIFE AMONG THE ROCKY MTS.
"Soon 1t was Mr.. Wilson's turn to be
scared and he started begging to be let
off and said IL was not his fault and
how he had never done anything. Oh
no. sneered Harold, you did not do any
thing TO this poor old man Oh no but
i guess the time has come now when

own self 16 long years ago that this

pujered his soul before his Maker No

"Soon they attempted to put some
hankuffs on Mr.. Wilson but he pulled
out his ottomatick and reched over
Harolds soldier where they were
struggling and began shooting away at
the old man but Harold reched up and
caught hold of his hand with his hand
anti took the ottomatick away and held
him until the old man could get the
hankuffs on him.
There sneered the old man when he
was all tied up tight | guess you are

Ho do you like 1t and went on tanting
him with his helpless condition Yes

so mad he began STEPPING on Mr.. Wilson
where he was lying on the floor
"Soon Mr.. Wilson started crying at

tainted him some more for a vile then

Ramorez sneered he now l will hunt
