Peleg Snuggers breathed on the square of tin as directed, and
then there slowly came to view the picture of a donkey's head!
The boys gathered around set up a shout.

last taken, eh?"

was goin' to play a joke on me." And he started to walk off.

"Why, what's the matter?" demanded Sam innocently. "Isn't it a
good picture?'

"I'll picture you!"

"I thought I was doing my best."
