Tony was in the garden picking some currants to sell the following morning. He was hard at work, and his coat lay upon a bush near him. Farmer Whipple and the constable jumped over the fence and approached him. "How do you do, Mr. Whipple?" said Tony, suspending his occupation.

tatement. "You didn't see what it was, did you?" inquired Mr. Hyde, pained by the turn the affair was taking. "I didn't. I thought it was an egg at first. He was kind of struck up when I entered, and asked me if I had seen Farmer Whipple. I told him I hadn't. The bell rang then, and he cut away to school." Tim's story seemed plausible, but the master could not harbor a suspicion that Tony was guilty of theft. "Which pocket was it, Tim?" asked Farmer Whipple. "The side pocket of his linen sack." "Which side?" "The left-hand side." "That will do," said Mr. Hyde; and he and Mr. Whipple conferred on the subject. Frank was amazed. Tony steal the wallet! Impossible! He never could do such a thing. The conference ended, and Farmer Whipple left the schoolroom. Returning to his house, he harnessed his horse, and drove down to Squire Murdock's, the magistrate, to procure a warrant for the arrest of Tony. This he obtained; and after getting a constable to serve it, he drove to the widow Weston's.
