I suppose that is the reason that he went off into the hills with Ned. Mind you, while Joe had been a good student but he had become a bit of a handful.

Sherritt said, "All right; I have not seen anything of them." I said, "No, but a man like a constable was seen walking with a bucket towards the creek, and I myself went to that creek, and I found where there was some soap.
