- (continued from previous page)13old woman and the old man were sitting around the fire at about twelve o'clock the cups, jugs and plates fell off the dresser. The old woman became frightened and she sent for the Police.
When the Police came they went into every room except where the boy was, but one of the Police happened to open his door. He saw the boy with a fiddle. He had a string tied to a nail, which was so arranged as to make the cups, jugs and plates fall off the dresser, so as to frighten his people.Written by :-
