"I do, and I'm going to get even," spoke Jerry, advancing closer to
Jack.
"Stand aside," demanded Jack, as the bully almost brushed against him.
"Not until you've given me satisfaction."
"What do you mean?"
"You know well enough what I mean."
"Do you want to fight?" asked Jack calmly.
"Certainly I do!" exclaimed the bully, aiming a blow at the lad in front of him. Jack stepped quickly back, Jerry nearly lost his balance and just saved himself from falling.
"You're a coward!" cried Jerry angrily.
"I am, eh?" cried Jack. "Well, if I must fight I'm going to do it for all I'm worth!"
The next instant he had his coat off, and was ready to defend himself. Jerry, nothing loath, closed in, and there in the darkness, illuminated only by the stars, the fight began.
