"See here, Ralph," bantered Pete, "I've copped Brick-top for myself. You keep off the grass. See!" "All right," Ralph answered. "Katherine for yours, Petruchio. The golden blonde for mine!"

"Look for yourself, Mr. Perkins," Tom said exultantly; "you will have no difficulty in recognizing these as fiery red hairs. The boy mentioned by my chum here, has a brick-top like that. I should say the evidence is about as conclusive as anything could be." Mr. Perkins' mouth had opened wide.
