Mr.Ewell's said, "One down two more to go," and Jem told Scout if she told Atticus then he would never speak to her again. Jem was copying how his father reacted when Bob Ewell spat at him - by not reacting at all. Also he didn't want Scout to tell Atticus because he didn't want his father to become angry or to realise that Scout was scared of Bob Ewell. They also didn't want to scare Atticus with his comments, and Jem thought that they were probably just empty threats.
