As my old readers know, Carl Dudder was a close crony to Ham Spink and had done his full share in making our young friends uncomfortable during the summer outing. "Dudder, aren't you ashamed of yourself?" said Snap. "What are you talking about?" demanded Carl Dudder, although he trembled a little as he spoke. "You threw those snowballs at Mammy Shrader." "I didn't." "You did I saw you."
"If ye was my b'y I'd be afther givin' ye a good walloppin', so I would!" he added pointedly. "I will go and see Mrs. Shrader," said Mr. Dudder. "Carl, you remain at home until I get back." "Can't I go over and see Ham?" "No." "I promised him that I would be over." "Well, you can't go. You study your lessons, unless you prefer to go with me to Mrs. Shrader's."
When Carl Dudder heard that a doctor had been called in to attend Mammy Shrader he was much frightened. He went to consult Ham Spink about it. The two were hand-in-glove in everything. "Are they sure you threw the snowball?" asked Ham Spink, pointedly. "They say they saw me." "Who says so?" "Oh, Snap Dodge and that crowd." "Always that crowd!" muttered Ham Spink.
"I'll have to go home," she panted. "But how am I to get there?" "Here comes Mr. Sell in his grocery wagon," cried Whopper. "Perhaps he'll give you a ride." "Maybe he will I buy my things from him," answered the old woman. The grocer was stopped and the situation explained, and he readily volunteered to take Mammy Shrader to her home, located at no great distance.
"I'll punch your head good for you! "Try it if you dare," answered Snap, defiantly, and he took an aggressive step forward, at which Dudder retreated. "I'll fight you another time when you haven't so many friends around," said Carl Dudder lamely, and then turning on his heel he started away, followed by one of his cronies. "If old Mammy Shrader is hurt, you'll be to blame," called Snap after him.
"Your treatment of Mammy Shrader is on a par with your other actions." "Shut up!" roared the other boy, and made a quick pass at Giant's head. But the small boy dodged and the fist struck Snap on the shoulder. The next instant Snap hauled off, struck out, and Carl Dudder measured his length in the snow.
"That's correct I saw him too," put in Giant, who had followed Snap. In the meantime Whopper had followed Shep, and both were doing what they could for the old woman. "See here, Snap Dodge, I don't want you to talk to me," blustered Carl Dudder. "I know my own business." "You ought to be knocked down for throwing at Mammy Shrader." "You can't knock me down!" growled Carl, doubling up his fists.
