noon
`` I got him ! '' cried Phil , when he saw the owner approaching . Red was carried to the next stop on the circus train . He was not much hurt and had fully recovered before noon of that day , much to Phil 's relief , for he felt very badly that he had been obliged to resort to stone throwing . The lad would have preferred to use his fists . But , as the result of the capture , Red Larry was put where he would bother circus trains no more for some years . He was sentenced to a long term in prison .
