By that time a whole lot of the folks had guns, and started after him. Being on my way home, I jined 'em. When we got to the top of the hill, old Tippo Sahib couldn't be seen anywhere." "Aren't you afeard to go home?" "No, of course not," replied Jimmy, rapidly regaining courage; "I know how to fix him if he comes after me." "How's that?"
