And then he stopped suddenly in his tracks and looked with an odd smile at Molly's distressed and anxious face. "No use," he said, grimly. "They're the Hethcote sables, all right. You'll have to turn 'em over, Moll, but they ain't too good for you if they cost a million." Molly, with anguish in her face, hung upon the Kid's arm. "Oh, Kiddy, you've broke my heart," she said.
"But there was the kiddy to consider and, as I told you, there was trouble!" "Parties who used their influence to get 'em out!" said Miss Girard darkly, in explanation, with a glance at Julia. "Favouritism " "And jealousy," added Alice Le Grange. Julia was sympathetic, but not deeply impressed. She had heard this story in many forms before.
If you speak another word, I'll have you jacketed: and then b me, my kiddy, if you get it off again in a hurry!
There was a loud burst of laughter from a room in which several boys had gathered. It was followed by the remark in Westby’s pleasant, persuasive voice,— “Look out, fellows, or we’ll have Kiddy Upton down on us.” “Kiddy Upton!” another voice exclaimed in delight, and there was more laughter. Kiddy Upton! So that was to be his name.
Then it was suggested again to the tramp that he go back to the vicinity of the camp on Firefly Lake and make matters uncomfortable for the campers. "I'll do it, if you'll pay me what it is worth," said Kiddy Leech. "But I can't go back to-day. It's too cold and I ain't dressed warm enough. And I'll want some provisions." "I can get you some better clothing," said Carl Dudder.
At first Kiddy Leech did not hear, but presently, as they drew closer, he turned in a startled way. Then he tried to skate harder than ever. "Stop where you are, or I'll shoot you!" called out Snap, who had brought his shotgun along. "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" yelled the tramp, in wild alarm. "Then stop," went on Snap. The tramp skated a few strokes more and then halted.
Remember, the travelin' is powerful bad, too." "Then I reckon we can tie him up in the barn till mornin'," answered her husband, with an inquiring look at the two young hunters. "We can do that," said Snap. "But first we might listen to what he has to say." "You won't let me go if I tell you something very important?" asked Kiddy Leech. "Not yet"

"Poor, poor little kiddy!" he said huskily. "What a price she's paid for her Christmas." But Muggs had forgotten the price. Though it had been a hard day the Doctor's eyes were kind and twinkly.
"'E's off 'is 'ead," said Sam, shaking himself free and regarding him unfavorably. "What's wrong, kiddy?" "Nothing," said Henry jubilantly; "everything's right." "More happles?" said the cook with a nasty sneer. "No, it ain't apples," said Henry hotly; "you never get more than one idea at a time into that 'ead of yours. Where's the skipper?
If he does the job we won't have to dirty our hands, and if he gets into trouble we can deny that we had anything to do with it." This view of the matter suited Barney Hedge and also Carl Dudder, and all joined in getting Kiddy Leech to tell them what our friends were doing and how they were situated.
