Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

The man's grip
tightened a twist.
"You'll find Mickey's admonition good," he said. "I advise you to take it.
'Be square!' And two things: first, I've got an eye on the Mickeys of this
city. If I ever again find you imposing on him or any one else, I'll put
you where you can't. Understand? Second, who is he?"
"Mickey!" answered the boy.
"Mickey who?" asked Douglas.
"How'd I know?" queried Jimmy.
"You don't know his name?" pursued Douglas.
"Naw, I don't!" said the boy.
"Where does he live?" continued Douglas.
"I don't know," answered Jimmy.
"If you have a charge to prefer, I'll take that youngster in for you,"
offered a policeman passing on his beat.
"He was imposing on a smaller newsboy. I made him quit," Douglas
explained. "That's all."
"Oh!" said the officer, withdrawing his hand. Away sped Jimmy; with him
went all chance of identifying Mickey, but Bruce thought he would watch
for him. He was such an attractive little fellow.
Mickey raced through the first alley, down a street, then looked behind.
