The first to appear wasthe proprietor of the cocoanut shy, a burly man in a bluejersey. He was astonished to see the lane empty save forthree men sprawling absurdly on the ground. And thensomething happened to his rear-most foot, and he wentheadlong and rolled sideways just in time to graze thefeet of his brother and partner, following headlong. Thetwo were then kicked, knelt on, fallen over, and cursed byquite a number of over-hasty people.Now when Hall and Henfrey and the labourers ran outof the house, Mrs. Hall, who had been disciplined byyears of experience, remained in the bar next the till. Andsuddenly the parlour door was opened, and Mr. Cuss appeared,and without glancing at her rushed at once downthe steps toward the corner. "Hold him!" he cried.

"Stop thief!" and he ran obliquely across the oblong towards
the yard gates, and vanished.
Simultaneously came a tumult from the parlour, and a
sound of windows being closed.
Hall, Henfrey, and the human contents of the tap
rushed out at once pell-mell into the street. They saw
someone whisk round the corner towards the road, and
Mr. Huxter executing a complicated leap in the air that
ended on his face and shoulder. Down the street people
were standing astonished or running towards them.
Mr. Huxter was stunned. Henfrey stopped to discover
