“He’s tapped Dick’s nose!”

“My! wasn’t that a blow, though!”

“The country lad is game!”

Wild with rage, Dick Lanning endeavored to close in again. Jerry stopped the movement this time by a blow on the chest which sent him staggering back several feet into the crowd.

“What’s the matter, Dick?”

“Don’t let him use you like that.”

“I’ll fix him!” howled the bully, and rushed at our hero a third time.

Again he hit Jerry, this time in the chin. But our hero’s blood was now up, and, calculating well, he struck a square blow in the left eye that knocked the bully flat.

“Dick is knocked out!”

“That country jay is a corker!”
