REINFORCED.
The brothers had more or less trouble with the boy next door, and hadn't always come out victors. In fuc-t, the boy next door was so much bigger that he seemed to have the best of it Invariably. So It wasn't an unusual thing when one of the brothers came Into the house with a badly bruised eye. Moreover, he was crying when his aunt stopped him in the haH. "Hush, Willie?" She said, "you mustn't ] make any noise." "Wha--what's the mat —ter?" Ue asked, j between his sobs. "Yon may disturb your new brother," i said his aunt, soothingly. He dried his eyes in a minute. "Have I got a new brother'/" he asked. His aunt nodded. "One besides Jim?" She nodded again. "You're glad of It?" she asked. "Rather!" he shouted. "If Jim and mc and the new one don't lick that boy next door we'd better move."
