defense
The time came when Oliver October
Baxter, age ten, had to be told what
was in store for him if he did not
mend his ways. For, be it here re-
corded, Oliver not only possessed
quick temper, but a surprisingly san
culinary way of making it felt.
He was rugged, freckle-faced
youngster with curly brown hair,
pair of stout legs, and a couple of hard
little fists, with which he made his
temper felt.
1t was after witnessing a particular
ly ferocious battle between Oliver and
Sammy Parr, that Joseph Skies and
Silas Link decided that the boy must
be warned of the fate that awaited
him if his awful temper was not
curbed.
And so it came to pass that young
Oliver October learned what was In
store for him if his fortune" came
true. In the presence of his father
his good friend, Mr.. Sage who had OPP
posed telling the boy, and the Messrs
Link and Skies, he was made to realize
the vastness Of the dark and terrifying
shadow that hung over him.
When they had finished, he cleared
his throat. II wish my ma was here"
he said, his lip trembling.
