“That’s a great trick to pull off,” he stormed. “Tell her that I couldn’t come, you big crook.” “Well, dearie, what are you going to do about it,” taunted Bill as he released Jack and started to take off his coat. “Just wait and see”, retorted the other boy as he seated himself and went to studying again. Late in the next afternoon, as soon as school was over for the day, Jack hurried towards Nellie’s home but as he approached he saw Bill and the object of his affections sitting on the front porch. He went to his room and impatiently waited for Bill to come home, and when he appeared, Jack hastened to see Nellie. She answered the knock herself and Jack’s heart dropped to his shoes when she greeted him with a frigid “How do you do, Mr. Turner,” so unlike the “Hello Jack” of the day before. “I-er c-came to explain to you, Nellie,” stammered Jack. “Bill c-came and told you a lie about my- my not coming. I was here just after you —” “No, you needn’t mind explaining, sir,” Nellie cut him off. “I will have absolutely nothing to do with anybody that will say such mean things as I have been told you said about me.

Bill said more too,” continued Bobbie. “He says to Nellie, ‘He was awful sore because you went with me.’ ‘Jack never acted that way before’ Nellie says, but Bill kept on. ‘Well, he said that you were a stuck up little cat and that the only thing you had to be stuck up over was your drug store beauty.’ That seemed to make Nellie awful sore and she says ‘Did he say that?’ ‘He sure did,’ Bill says. ‘Well who would ever think that of Jack.’ Nellie was awful mad and she's been ravin’ at you ever since.” “The dirty sneak,” commented Jack. “Say Bobbie, Pagf Ehorn
