Chapter XXIV
Tom as the village hero • Days of splendor and night of horror • pursuit of injun joe
SummaryTom is the new hero and everybody is treating Muff Potter with a new found respect, but no one can find Injun Joe. Tom is also loving others worship and thankfulness throughout the day, but he is full of horrors at night, terrified of what Injun Joe could do to him. Even though Huck did not take the stand, he is still afraid that Injun Joe will find him. This is because Potter’s lawyer knows that Huck was there, and even though Huck made him swear, he can no longer trust people to keep mum, after Tom didn’t.
