Peewee, as he preferred to call himself H. Seabury, as he was known to certain municipal and county authorities who would have confined him in some home for dependent children if they had known where he was was advancing nervously in West Madison Street, Chicago. He looked at intervals apprehensively over his shoulder at a man following some thirty feet be hind him, noting that the man timed his steps with his own. When Peewee hastened, the man hastened; when Peewee slowed, he slowed; when Peewee stood still, the man stood still. The boys tentative conclusion from this was that the man was an agent of the Juvenile Court.
