going to steal a horse and ride off
to town before the farmer is up"
Four pairs of eyes watched the
boy come from the house and four
pairs of ears heard him whistle,
this he did very softly for fear OF
waking the people in the house.
Il don't believe he is going to

heard of any one whistle when he
was going to steal or do anything

qualities must be considered in
selecting wood for bats, but the
