"No, Frank. Some time I will send you to school. But you won't see me every day then."
"Then I don't want to go."
The outlaw stooped over and kissed the boy.
"Now, Frank, I have something to do, so you may amuse yourself with Ernest."
"Can you play dominos?" asked Frank.
"Yes; have you a set?"
"Yes."
The boy opened a drawer in a bureau and drew out a box of dominos. He poured them out on the table and they began to play the ordinary game. When they tired of that, Ernest taught him a new one.
After they grew tired of playing, Ernest read aloud to the boy from one of his favorite books.
They were sitting together in the arm-chair, when James Fox, who had left the room, returned. He smiled approvingly at the picture. He was pleased to think that he had found a companion whom his boy liked.
