"Mind your eye, then," yelled Holly.
His ugly face glowed with passion, and his great, stupid-looking ears seemed to stick out like cabbage leaves.
"Come on," he said.
"I'm ready," returned Mont.
The fight commenced in the little cabin, and it was evident that the combatants were in earnest.
Our hero found his opponent as strong as a young bull, but he had not very much skill.
Parrying his blows and hitting hard when he had a good chance, Mont punished him severely.
But he was knocked down first.
"Will that do for you," said Holly, "or do you want any more?"
"More, please," exclaimed Mont, getting up. And then he clipped Holly two heavy ones that knocked him nearly down a ladder.
