IO JOHNNY BLOSSOM
us boys to come aboard and get some apples;
and when we went he told his mother there were
thieves on board; and he called the policeman."
"Nils asked you to come on board?"
"Oh, yes; but for all that I knew Mr. and Mrs.
Lind would be angry. I knew that perfectly
well. But I went, and then I wasn’t a credit to
the school; so if you will please take this report
back" —
There was a short silence.
"I think you may keep the report," said the
Principal at last. "For you will surely not do
anything of the kind again, Johnny Blossom."
"No. I shan’t have to be taken up by a
policeman ever any more." Johnny shook his
head energetically. "And I’m going to study
hard. Thank you."
At the door he repeated his "thank you" as
he bowed himself out.
When he was in the street he put the precious
report into his pocket, whistling joyously a
beautiful tune that his mother often played.
Who cared for any one’s teasing now? Even the
boys might try it if they liked, for he was ready
for them. The Principal knew all there was to
know. Awfully kind man, that Principal!
