14 Doctor Warren Stone, who had recently located in Norwalk

Edwin B. Tilton.

15 "Bim, you did nobly."

16 "She's sure some  nifty jane!"

17 "Why don't you cop her while she's young an' -- care- less?"

18 Just pals with common joys and woes and growing hunger pains.

19 "Come on, Bill, I'm goin' to get us a swell feed."

20 The original anvil chorus.

21 "If someone doesn't do something about that boy's future, he'll turn out just like that lazy good- for-nothing Bim!"

22 "If talk was a breeze, kid, that bunch would be a cyclone ---"

23 "The law'll take care o' this."

24 "Hello, chef --- anything we can do for you today?"

25 "'sassinate dem poultry fo' me an' you both eats."

26 "I ain't hungry are you?"

27 "No let's go."

28 "It's your bounden duty to see that the boy is sent to school."

29 "How long since you had a bath?"

30 "I don't remember --- how long since you had one?"

31 "None of your busi- ness! But you're going to get one pretty quick!"

32 "Bim! What are you trying to do?"

33 "He should start going to school Monday --- and I want you to promise me that he will."

34 "He won't like it much, but if you say he ought to go---I'll see that he does."

35 "There ain't nothin' the matter with you, is there? You didn't go to school, did you? Then why in hell send me?"

36 "It don't make no dif- ference 'bout me---I guess Miss Bruce knows best---an' I promised heran' so you're goin'!"

37 Monday---and he went.

38 "The law'll take care o' this."

39 "William---stand up!"

40 "William---a man had seventeen apples--- he ate two and sold seven- - - how many were left?"

41 "Seven."

42 The end of the first day was not the end of woe.

43 "Wait --- I'm going to scare that new kid stiff."

44 "Them clothes makes you look like Bim!"

45 "That's nothin' to be 'shamed of--- Bim's a swell guy!"

46 "Swell guy! Why, he's the town bum!"

47 "He said you was the town bum!"

48 "---an' he said you wasn't fit to live with pigs."

49 "By gosh, I said you were!"

50 "I'm short in my accounts the traveling auditor's due and if you don't help me out"

51 "How can I help  you out?"

52 "You're in charge of the school memorial fund --- they're not using it now ---"

53 "Let me keep it in my cash until I make up the shortage."

54 "Mr. Holt, I got respon- sibilities now---an' I want a job - can't you use me?"

55 "Get a uniform and I'll put you on as porter."

56 "Gee, Bim! Won't you look great in a uniform."

57 "If you should need it, send me word and I'll bring it over in ten minutes."

58 Uniforms even in his dreams ---

59 "An' you risked your life like this for a no 'count bum like me!"

60 "Will he live, Doc?"

61 "Oh, he'll pull through all right."

62 The doctor's wife.

63 "That's the same boy --- and if we get him away from Bim, we can get the re- ward."

64 "And you did it for me, what ain't worth as much as your little finger ---"

65 "Take that skullcap off and try to look motherly."

66 "You poor darling     child."

67 "He won't be laid up long, will he?"

68 "There's no telling. He's going to need a lot of attention--- a mother's care and absolute quiet."

69 "I'll work my fingers off I'll give him everything he needs, Doc."

70 "But you can't give him a mother's care and that  is most important."

71 "The poor, dear child --- who could think of money at a time like this."

72 "You must agree to leave him alone and entirely in my hands and I'll take care of everything."

73 It isn't long before Bill is well enough to ask embarrassing questions.

74 "Well, my little man, how do you feel today?"

75 "Rotten --- all dressed up like a damn bullfighter!"

76 "Say, why hasn't Bim been here to see me?"

77 "He said he was going away --- seem- ed mighty glad when we offered to take care of you."

78 "Aw, you're crazy with the heat."

79 "Well, what do you want?"

80 "I thought I'd call and see how the kid's getting along."

81 "If you want him to get well quickly, you'll have to keep your promise and stay away from here."

82 "Will you give him these flowers, so he'll know I'm thinkin' of him?"

83 "Well, dear children, the fund you all worked so hard to raise is now complete and the memorial will be started at once."

84 "Now, Miss Bruce, if you will turn the fund over to us ---"

85 "I'll go for it   at once."

86 "Bim, will you take this note to Mr. Cahill, personally? And hurry --- please--"

87 "I've got a letter for Mr. Cahill --- very important."

88 "He won't be back for an hour will you wait?"

89 "The law'll take care o' this."

90 "The school teacher just drowned her- self and I'm going for the doctor."

91 "When you didn't come she drown- ed herself."

92 "You get me that money --- now! They ain't goin' to call her no thief!"

93 "Say, Cahill, I got a scheme that'll interest a guy in your fix."

94 "Supposin' my gang robbed the Express Office tonight - they'd never know you was short."

95 "Empty!"

96 "That's why she tried to drown herself."

97 "You had the money --- what have you done with it?"

98 "I ain't got nothin'     to say."

99 "The law'll take care o' this."

100 "You dirty crook! We're going to ride you out of town on a rail -- and don't you ever come back."

101 "There goes Bim with my horses --- plug him!"

102 "What the hell struck us, anyhow?"

103 Nightfall across the trail to Nowhere.

104 The constable communicates with the county seat.

105 "Say, pard, any chance of hornin' in on the eats?"

106 "All right."

107 "Why didn't Bim tell them, Auntie? Why should he suffer just to protect me?"

108 "Men like Bim ain't the kind who think of themselves when a good woman's in danger of being mis- judged ---"

109 " and that's more than I can say for all the memorial committees this town ever had!"

110 The 'little job in Norwalk' does not appeal to Bim.

111 "The boobs will all be at prayer meetin', and it's goin' to be an easy job."

112 "We may be boobs, but they ain't no gang o' thieves goin' to rob our town, if I know it!"

113 While the "good" men of the city pray---

114 "I told you crooks they weren't no gang goin' to rob our town --- an' I meant it!"

115 "Sheriff, I didn't have no part in this robbery---I---"

116 "Why, the damned liar! He planned this job."

117 "It's that damn Bim again --- get a rope!"

118 "Sheriff, you can have the other guys but this bum's goin' to decorate the limb of a tree!"

119 "I'm leaving this town tonight and you're going with me!"

120 The never-to-be- forgotten rumble of Judge Lynch's mob.

121 "They're after me! Hide me!"

122 "Don't let 'em hang Bim! The man they want's inside fight- ing the teacher!"

123 "Hold on, boys! This kid says the real culprit's hiding in the school."

124 "By Gad, you won't tell them!"

125 "You did this for my sake, Bim?"

126 After which, the heroes would have been welcome to any spare bed in town.

127 "William, darling, your father's here!"

128 "I guess the other kid'll have to take my place."

129 "Goodbye---pal."

130 "That's not my boy!"

131 "I thought it was darn funny! The last time I heard of my old man he was in Sing Sing."

132 "Another one of your   happy ideas."

133 "Do you know this      man?"

134 "I do! He's the dis- charged chauffeur who kidnapped my boy!"

135 "Say something --- you big stiff!"

136 "I-- I-- Bill says --- I mean --- you know if --- well, will you?"

137 "The law'll take care o' this."
