"I didn't steal the wallet," cried Tim lustily, as he struggled to get away. "You must come with me," replied the constable, holding him fast. [Illustration: You must come with Me. _P._ 279.] Tim's father and mother came to the door, as Mr. Headley marched him off. They asked the officer what he was doing with their son. Without stopping to give any details, he told them the boy was wanted for stealing Farmer Whipple's wallet.

no escape, rose, and went to the door. To his consternation he beheld Mr. Headley, the constable! He felt as though he should drop through the floor. His heart beat so violently that he could hardly stand up. "I want you, Tim," said Mr. Headley. "Me!" gasped Tim. "Get your cap, and come along." "What for?" "I'll tell you when you get to the jail." Tim drew a long breath, and went back for his cap. "Who is it, Tim?" asked his father. But Tim made no reply, and instead of returning to the front door, he took his cap and sneaked out through the back room. The woods were close by, and the hope of escaping inspired him with new courage. Throwing open the back door, he rushed out. "So, so! my fine fellow!" exclaimed the constable, who stood before the door, and into whose arms he had thrown himself as he leaped down the doorsteps. "This is your plan, is it? We'll give you the ruffles, then." So saying, Mr. Headley took a pair of handcuffs from his pocket, and fastened them upon Tim's wrists.
