Bob picked it up and flung it into the river, much to the delight of the two little fellows whom Buck had tormented.
“I guess that will be about all,” remarked Bob, as he put on his coat. “The next time you want to bully little chaps that can’t fight back, take a good look all around and make sure there’s no one about that may interfere with your amusement. Come along, fellows.”
They went on their way, followed by the black looks and enraged mutterings of the discomfited bully and his cronies.
“I’ve heard a good deal about poetic justice, but I never saw such a beautiful specimen as this,” chuckled Joe. “Bob, I take off my hat to you.”
“That’s all right,” laughed Herb. “But for the love of Pete, don’t take off your shoe. Shoes aren’t safe when Bob’s around.”
CHAPTER VII
GOOD RIDDANCE
Buck did not turn up at school on the following day and the Radio Boys thought that they could guess the reason why.
“Don’t think his beauty was improved any by the handling he got yesterday,” laughed Jimmy. “Of course he might use the old gag that he had run against a door in the dark, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t go.”
“A door would hardly be likely to do to him what Bob did,” rejoined Joe with a grin.
“Perhaps he’s down at the river looking for that shoe of his,” chuckled Herb.
