It's an alibi, Samivel; and, besides, if we let 'em off they'll be worse next time." The Lower Third had set a guard upon their form-room for the space of a full hour, which to a boy is a lifetime.

He gave me de worst beatin' up I ever got from any cop, an' I'm on bail now for General Sessions fer assaultin' 'im." "What's he got to do with it?"
