THE WRESTLING MATCH
For a second, Pete Colliver stared blankly at Dave, whose usually good-natured and smiling visage wore an expression which he had never seen upon it before.
Dick Travers was quick to take advantage of the opportunity. An energetic shove broke the lumberjack's hold, and he stepped aside.
"Wal, wal, fat un! An' what has you got ter say 'bout it, hey?" howled Pete.
"Nothing, now," answered Dave, calmly.
"Oh, ye ain't; but mebbe some one else has, hey? Ye can't bluff me none, feller."
"Quit it, Colliver!" commanded Jim Reynolds, sternly.
"Leave Pete alone, Jim," growled Smull.
"I'll show ye how I quit it, Big Jim," cried Pete, trembling with excitement. His right hand flew around, knocking Dave Brandon's sombrero into the bushes.
The Ramblers sprang forward. But Buck James interposed his big form.
