[Beautiful Joe by Marshall Saunders]@TWC D-Link bookBeautiful Joe CHAPTER XIV HOW WE CAUGHT THE BURGLAR 5/17
Oh, how furious he was! He kicked me against the side of a wall, and gave me two or three hard blows with a stick that he caught up, and kept throwing stones at me. I would not give up, though I could scarcely see him for the blood that was running over my eyes.
Old Jim got so angry whenever Jenkins touched me, that he ran up behind and nipped his calves, to make him turn on him. Soon Jenkins came to a high wall, where he stopped, and with a hurried look behind, began to climb over it.
The wall was too high for me to jump.
He was going to escape.
What shall I do? I barked as loudly as I could for some one to come, and then sprang up and held him by the leg as he was getting over. I had such a grip, that I went over the wall with him, and left Jim on the other side.
