All a peace officer has to do is to find
a criminal and make the arrest. It's the district attorney's
business to get the evidence, but there are a good many peace
officers to whom you can't teach that. Prescott, the next time
you see a prisoner being abused you are to do the same as you
did this time. I hope your hip will soon be all right again.
I'll try to look in on you in a day or two at your camp. Thank
you for what you did for law and order to-night. Good night!"
CHAPTER XV
THE INTERRUPTION OF A TRAINING BOUT
"Hazelton, the trouble with you is that you tackle a dummy just
the way you'd catch a sack of potatoes that was being thrown out
of a burning house!" laughed Dick.
"I don't see any other way to tackle a dummy," grunted Harry,
looking puzzled.
"Why, you are supposed to tackle the dummy just as you'd tackle
a running football player coming toward you," Prescott rejoined.
"Greg, stand off there about fifty yards. At the word, run straight
toward Harry. Hazelton, you grab hold of Holmes and don't let
him get by you. Just hang on, and try to put him on the ground
at that. All ready, Greg! Run. Tackle him, Harry!"
This time Hazelton entered into the play with great zest.
