“\Vell, one thing," Fred put in.
“Your trip abroad seems to have

“Go for the window in the hay—

Then he tried to coax Billy to stop
chasing him by saying. "Billy, old
fellow. you have kept up this chase
long enough. I’ll give you a dandy
red apple if you will stop and you
can go lie down now wherever you
please. I think your coat must be
dry by this time."
But Billy only ran all the faster
and Jamie could feel his breath on
the back 0: his neck as Billy gain—

Jamie was about to try to kick
over the tub' of dye and trip llilly
