"I told you you couldn't put me off."
"We'll see about that. Here, officer." He beckoned to a
policeman.
"This kid has been stealing a ride. I put him off once. I turn
him
over to you now."
"All right. Young man, you come with me!"
Teddy protested indignantly, but the officer, with a firm grip on his arm, dragged the lad along with him. They proceeded on up the tracks toward the station, the lad insisting that he was with the show and that he had a right to ride wherever he pleased.
"Teddy!" shouted a voice, just as they stepped on the long platform that led down to the street.
"Phil!" howled the lad. "Come and save me! A policeman's got me and he's taking me to jail."
Phil Forrest ran to them.
"Here, here! What's this boy done?" he demanded.
