TOMMY'S BROTHER
A policeman, seeing a youngster standing on the brink of a pond, accosted the boy. < What's the matter, Tommy ?' he queried.
The youngster pointed to a hat which was bobbing up and down in the middle of the pond. 'My bruvver ' he sobbed.
In a flash the courageous constable divested himself of his coat and plunged into the water. He reached for the hat and dived for the lost lad. He came up, but with the hat only. 'Can't find him I' he gasped. 'Whore was he standing when he fell in?'
The boy gasped. 'He ain't fell in,' he said. 'He's over there. " I was going to tell you he throwed my hat into the pond, but you wouldn't lemme finish!'
