"It's not a horse-basket, Billy: I didn't get to make one," stammered he, in a choked voice; "but you said you'd call it square." "Whew!" cried Billy, very much astonished: "now look here, bub; that's a little too bad! The old thing you lugged off was about worn out, anyhow. Don't want any of your fancy baskets: so just carry it back, my fine little shaver."
"Seems to me you ran away with my horse-basket," said Billy; "but I never knew till yesterday what had 'come of it." "There, now," replied Horace, quite crestfallen; "Peter Grant took that! I forgot all about it." What should be done? It would never do to ask his mother for the money, since, as he believed, she had none to spare. Billy was fond of joking with little boys.
He had no idea that Horace would ever think of the matter again; but in truth the first article the boy tried to make was a horse-basket. "Me tell you somethin," said little Wampum, next morning, as he and Horace were crossing the field together. "Very much me want um, um, um," putting his fingers up to his mouth in a manner which signified that he meant something to eat.
