i told tbe children to say nothing abont it and they have forgotten about it by this time lattoppiewa8btf6n tbe boardho was at work nppn was soft pine so by the time he bad reaahedthn end ofbisbomoquy the hole was dug btello there i sung out mr topple obeeriully no aobwer now yon may not think it continued mr toppie but im a friend of yours ive got yon down there in that dugout under the floor so that you can hear to reaion a bit im not going to blow on you to the authorities nor hurt you how did yon know i was coming here oamo in a mnfhed voloe well know is a pretty positive word my friend yon came here onoe in tbe night trying to get in and soared my enimy moatinto flti and then you came again by day and puts- bundle under the floor in the same place where yon are now and both my little glrlq saw you from tbeae things i judged youd oome again and aeeiug yourre under that floor now i reckon i judged right now i saw yon when- you oamo in and you are no burrlar by nature yon dont look half mean enough whats im after is to get you oat of the burglarizing business and into ono thats more respectable and i give yon warning that youll be kept under tbe floor off and on till yoa oan sea your way alear to hear to reason this is friday i own id like to have the job finished by neat friday if i oan i never undertook to fallon any prbdigora neok before but ill do it the beat i oan even it i dont do it qa its like other foltia that know how better listened a moment and hearing no anatrer reaohed for hiahatohet eome naila and small blooka he had made ready and by an ingenions arrangorneut of the blooka he boon bad wooden itnploa on tbe floor and the door in buoh a way that by a bar thrust through the door was beonrely fastened down then ho stood up and looked down at the floor nail drove in be eatd and a hole dug in that floor dont know what emmellns will bay when she sees it but a body cant spare eipense nor look oat for spoiling his floor when a prodigal ia to be bayed beckon the next beat thing is to tarn and make a new mesa of bluoaiti and fry some baxoa for the prodigipa dinner kow the boy in hla heart bated the life he was leadiqg he bad been drawn into it by a long bourse ojffparnloionaatqrleb and he fonnd that being an outaast and having to atand on the defenalve every moment in order to avoid being caught were not in real life what they bad been pictured in tbe books be bad read it was months ainbe be bad been at homo and aa he lay in tbe darkneis under tbo floor where the only ray ofllght came from the bole mr topple bad dag he wondered what the folks at home were doing ho was theoldebt son and ip imagina tion hia five brothers and two bib tare oamo before him good boye and dear ltttlo girls they were and a lamp came np hla throat aa he thought ol them happy in the hone where he might haver been- happy hirnaelf if only be bad never read a lino of those miserable books bov was hungry too and the appetizing odor of the bacon floated down through the bole in tbo floor and made him long for some of hia motbera cooking jo the midbtof hia bbmesiok thoufthti mr topplee voice followed the odor of tbo bacon down the bole beu6p he colled dinners ready imlet you oome qp and eit down to the table will yon prbmlao not to try to hurt mo wr toppie winked at himself as he made this artfblnonditlon for be was very atrong and the prodigal was a moro btrlpltng ths poor boy- thought of the table a moment so ldnghe had lived out of paper bagi bought in groceries and reatiuranta that the table was- a mighty temptation he was used to yielding to temptation so he yielded to this one and called baok au right i answered mr topple asnd will you promise not to try to ran away 1 ea upvydn oome chen and the door was hftea- very oreatfallen the captive looked but mr topple affected not to notice as he bruihed the dirt from the prodigals clothes and led him to the waah basin and clean towel wife and children are gone for aboat a week observed mr topple as he saw the boy cast a hasty and furtive glanoo toward the door doors looked be con tinned and here being three windowa on a side we ban seas if anybody cornea which isnt likely long before they get here youre all safe now pitch in and eat all that day the captive remained by the flr chatting with bis oaptor and when evening came mr topple said 1 it kind of god against the grain with me to pat yoa down ander toe floor to itay all night yoa might as well sleep in the- bed with roe if youll promuo not to try to get away in the nltfit the boy looked looredaloualy up at tho man and seeing tbe kindly sincerity in mr topple face he broke down would yon iruit me he ex ol aimed when you kuow im a thief well no i wouldnt if yoa took to thieving naturally for there wouldnt be any sense in that and as to being a thief why knowyop baydoeen ooerofoourae bat im noways sure youre going to keep on being one i take it you wont hold out any jongerthao friday if youdathat long id kind of liko to have you get over beidg a thief as soon as yon oan too be cause emetine and the bhildren may get home by tho tweuteightb and thats friday there was a softepod jook on the boys faco as the evening wore qn and alt that night ho slept peacefully by mr topplee aide it waa wednesday morning that mr topple noticed a- new loplt jn tho boys eyes and bis own eyea epoke back to that look with hopeful enoonragement ive got to take baok what t stole said the prodigal thats the talk i oried mr topple i knew you wasoomlng to it ive been thinking it all but and if you oan take rho and the staff to town in a wagon all covered up along toward night i can pot it whore it will be found and taken cure of all right i was tho answer you promise not to run away and after dinner lllk96ly9 with a smile the captlvepromiacd that night the praotisod hand of the before- time thief undid tho pobtoffioe window at the neareat town and the plunder was dopobited tafely on the poatofflco floor then silently the boy and man rolled baqk together that night the prodigal toaaed and turned and could not sleep whats the matter asked mr toppie i want to go homo said the boy with a oatob in bib voice well if x was yon responded mr toppie and wanted to go home id go there waa ailenoe awhile then the boy said suppose my father wont have me there he knows what i have been well said mr topple i know what youve been too does it stand to reason that your father wont treat yon better than 1 havo when im nothing bnt a etranger he wont push you down under the floor and alt on the door most likely hell be tipkled to death to boo yoa for thatsthe way with fathers then the boy reaohed for mr toppies band in the darkness and held it olose im going borne tomorrow he said it was on friday that mr anderson sought out mr toppie de iiord has forgive deliea i told he began he hab givo me back my oldest son my andy and tears ohoked his voice what would i not do for andy and hia mother and brothers and sisters dey are all glad for andy well thought mr topple tlro glad for andy myself but i wish i oonld tell emetine juat how it was about that prodigal gnlielma eol linger how it feels to fall
