"So I've got you at last, have I?" cried Nelson, as he grasped Darnley by the arm.
"Lemme go!" howled the bully, in great alarm. "Lemme go, Nelson!"
"Not much! I'm going to hand you over to the police," was Nelson's firm answer.
"I won't go!"
"What's the trouble?" demanded the nautical-looking man curiously.
"He's a thief, that's the trouble," answered our hero.
"It aint so. I never stole nuthin' in my life," retorted Darnley sulkily. "He's down on me, and he's always tryin' to git me into trouble."
"I am telling the truth," said Nelson. "He's got to go with me."
"I won't go!" roared the bully.
