I waited awhile for him, but as he did not return I lay down upon the bearskins and dropped to sleep. It seemed I had hardly closed my eyes when I felt a hand on my arm and heard a voice. "Wake up, youngster. Thar's two old bears an' a cub been foolin' with one of my traps." In a flash I was wide awake. "Let's see your gun. Humph! pretty small 38 caliber, ain't it?
His thin face flushed and he pretended to pick a sliver from his foot as he answered: "Let's me an' you hire the littles' house an' pay the rent ourselves an' Goober Glory do our cookin' an' sewin' an' an' quit yer foolin', Billy Buttons! This ain't no make-b'lieve, this ain't. I plumb mean it."

'What are them men foolin' round with, Mr. C.? said I. 'That's hubby's latest, replied Ned. 'I guess it's the boss electro-dynamic fixin' in the universe.
Some coarse town humorist would leer upon him from the doorway a leer of furtive, devilish cunning and whisper hoarsely, "Hist! Are we alone?"

But criminals seemed to have conspired against Little Arcady, to cheat it of its rightful distinction.
The bronzed young soldiers brought in from the plains were lounging about, watching the boulevard, and peering up at the massive walls of the Auditorium. The street was choked with curious spectators, among whom were many strikers. The crowd gaped and commented. "They'll shoot," one of the onlookers said almost proudly. "There ain't no use in foolin' with the reg'lars.
