For when the Deakins sat around | the supper table and cast up the ae- | | connts of the day it was Larry who posed as the persecuted and abused child, while Morton Burnett was pio- tured as an infant of dark intents, headed straight for the Bridewell, “If I wns a man, Tom Deakin," said the wife, “I'll warrant you I'd go over to that house and give notice that things are simply going too far, To-day that boy got up on the fence and ealled Lawrence all kinds of names,’ “He said that his mother said that ma didn’t have clothes fit to wear,” suggested Lawrence, who had begun to breathe hard during the recital of | his grievances. “Anyway, I don’t try to make my- soll look like a peacock every time I start to church,” said Mrs, Deakin, This comparison of Mra Burnett tiokled the children, and they laughed immoderately.
