Pee-wee Harris

CHAPTER X
2/8

Over the hill to the poorhouse.

Ever hear that song?
What's that you've got there, a soldier?
Watcher doing with him?
Lucky kid, I'd like to be a soldier." "What were you, a slacker ?" Pee-wee shouted.
This was not the kind of retort that Deadwood Gamely was accustomed to hearing and he gave a quick look at the small stranger in khaki who sat behind the counter like a judge on the bench staring straight at him.
"Don't get him riled," Pepsy whispered.

He's always togged out swell like that," she added fearfully.
"The only thing that's swell about him is his head," said Pee-wee in his loudest voice.

"Don't you be scared of him, I'm here." "What's that ?" said the young man in a tone intended to be darkly menacing.
"You'd better put your hat on the top of your head or it'll blow off," said Pee-wee.
