"He said he'd tell if I didn't buy him some, too."
"Is that threu?" asked Peggy.
"Hark to him!" said Tim, with virtuous indignation. "It's a lie, and he knows it."
"Did you spend all the money, Jack?" demanded Peggy. "If you did——"
"But I didn't, Aunt Peggy. Some good people gave me some money, and——"
"It was for me, then. How dared you spind it?"
"I've brought most of it home, Peggy. See here!" and Johnny took out a handful of small silver coins and pennies, and poured them into the old woman's lap.
Peggy was agreeably surprised. She saw that there was nearly a dollar, much more than Johnny generally brought home, and it put her in a good humor.
"You've done well, Jack!" she said. "I won't grudge the money you spent for a bit of dinner. Now go out and play wid Tim."
"I don't want to play with him. He told on me."
