    go in with them to pull him up. When they went in what was in it but a pair of old boots that tinkers had thrown in.
    Then they listened and they heard a man shouting and knew it was him. They went back to the house and he was there kicking and smashing the door to get in. The man that was looking for him was shouting "conduct Jim". He thought it was out of the room the voice was coming and again they got to him he had the door broke in. All he said was he was out long enough and to be let in when he came.
