Tommy scolded Billy for not going with the man, who knew his way and was probably safe in the valley when the last faint shot came up to them. Billy cried, and reproached Tommy for proposing to run away; and both felt very homesick for their mothers and their good safe beds at Farmer Mullin's. The sun set, and found them in a dreary place full of rocks and blasted trees half-way up the mountain.
"And now, Grandma, what of all things do you suppose has happened? Old man Mullin's back. Nobody can hardly believe it. He's been gone these ten years and nobody blamed him a mite when he left that miserly, nagging wife of his and went off to California.
As this was deceiving her aunt she felt obliged to put a blot on her head 'scutcheon, in the form of a black record, but she was so inwardly amused at it that her appetite improved of its own accord, and Aunt Phoebe remarked in a gratified way that she had never known the equal of Mullin's Modifier as a tonic.
"Here's her health, masther," returned Keenan, "an' her father's too, an' Hycy Burke's into the bargain is there any more o' them? Well, no matter." Then turning to his antagonist, he added, "I say agin, thin, that a Mullin's not a match for a Keenan, nor never was no, nor never will be! That's the chat! and who's afeard to say it? eh, masther?"

The feat of playing on several instruments at once presents no difficulty to him. "This briefly sketches Mr. Mullin's life, character and ability as a musician. His accompanying photograph reveals his superb physique. Personally he possesses charming, agreeable manners and Chesterfieldan courteousness, which vastly contributes to his popularity.
I were upstairs, but I suppose they thought I were out, and as I did not want to disturb 'em, and was pretty nigh worn out I had been up three nights with Betsy Mullin's girl I sat down and nigh dozed off. The door was open, and I could hear what they said downstairs when they spoke loud.
Tommy's face grew very sober as he looked in, for all he saw was a box of worms for bait and an old jacket. "By George! we've got the wrong basket. This is Mullin's, and he's gone off with our prog. Won't he be mad?" "Not as mad as I am. Why didn't you look? You are always in such a hurry to start.
"Better be going home, my lads; it's pretty cold on the mountain after sunset, and you are a long way from town," said the man, who had peeped at them over his paper now and then, and saw, in spite of the dirt and rips, that they were not farmer boys.
