expostulated Lem, turning pale.
“None of your lip, sweetheart,” said the sergeant. “Will you go quietly or will you go quietly?” Before the poor lad had a chance to express his willingness to go, the police officer struck him an extremely hard blow on the head with his club.
Lem slumped down in his seat and Sergeant Clancy ordered his men to carry the boy off the train. A patrol wagon was wai...ting at the depot. Lem’s unconscious form was dumped into the “Black Maria” and the police drove to the station house.
