Boys, are you awake? went on the farmer.

I've got news for you! Thet tramp's got away!

ESCAPED!

How in the world did he manage it?
gpt
He was a slick one, said Aaron Masterson.
human
He got free of the rope around his wrists somehow and then he clum to the top o' the harness closet and into the loft. From the winder he dropped onto the shed an' then to the ground.
gpt
But what of your dog? Didn't he go after him?
human
No, the barn door was shet, to keep out the wind, so Rover couldn't follow him.
gpt
When do you suppose he got away?
human
Some time during the night.
gpt
Can't we follow him?
human
We can try.
