Got One Shoe On

Finally in hand, they got one
shoe on Tiny before he could
break loose and by the time
they caught him, he had worn
all the leather off the one shod
foot.
The next step, according to
Turner, who is vouching for
this recital, was to get Tiny
to wear necktie, he having
been used only to an open
throated shirt.
They caught him and sat
him in a chair. where the par
ents held him until the neck
piece was neatly tied and prop
erly adjusted.
They slipped back to gaze at
their handiwork and noticed
that Tiny didn't get up. They
admired him for fully Is min
utes and then walked away,
and discovered a half-hour later
that the boy was still sitting
in the chair.
He thought he was tied.

faces.
But" admOniShed Turner as

Puffed and swelled by the
compliment from Joe, one of
the lads challenged a fellow

Turner strength.
