"Get up!" he commanded quietly. "Get up and fight. I'm not through with you yet."
Davis grovelled upon the floor, seeking to clasp the lad's knees.
"Get up!" commanded Jack again.
Davis made no move to rise.
Jack stretched out his uninjured arm and jerked the man rudely to his feet.
"Put up your hands and fight," he ordered. "Don't show yourself the dog you are!"
Davis did as Jack commanded and aimed a blow at the lad's head.
Jack promptly knocked him down again.
A second and a third time this was repeated; but after the last fall Davis grovelled and moaned like a whipped child.
Jack gazed down at him in disgust.
