"I don't know it," said I. "Won't 'Roll, Jordan,' do, Toddie?"

"I'll tell you how it goes," said Budge, and forthwith the youth sang the following song, a line at a time, I following him in words and air:—

"Where is my little bastik[8] gone?

Said Charley boy one day;

I guess some little boy or girl

Has taken it away.

"An' kittie, too—where ish she gone?

Oh, dear, what I shall do?

I wish I could my bastik find,

An' little kittie, too.
