Dunno how -- dunno where . Anyhow , it was gone . I did n't know what to do . If I went back to old Lady Wiley she 'd take the hide off me . So I went and hid in that old barn . '' `` And what will you do now ? '' asked Jerry . `` Dunno . I s ` pose I 'll have to go back and take my medicine . Now that I 've got some grub in my stomach I guess I can stand it . '' But there was fear behind the bravado in Mary 's eyes . Una suddenly slipped from the one tombstone to the other and put her arm about Mary . `` Do n't go back . Just stay here with us . '' `` Oh , Mrs. Wiley 'll hunt me up , '' said Mary . `` It 's likely she 's on my trail before this . I might stay here till she finds me , I s ` pose , if your folks do n't mind . I was a darn fool ever to think of skipping out . She 'd run a weasel to earth . But I was so misrebul . ''
XXXXX 's voice quivered , but she was ashamed of showing her weakness .
