"A friend OF the bully jumped In

in the middle of his forehead and
knocked him fiat. Harry had hit Bap

devils slap with the side of my hand
that took the skin off his face and
rolled him over and over. When /
looked again Armstrong was going
limp. His mouth was open and his
tongue out. With one hand fastened
to his right leg and the other on the
nape of his neck Abe lifted him at
arms length and gave him a toss in
the air. Armstrong fell about ten
feet from where Abe stood and lay
there for minute. The fight was all
out of him and he was kind of dazed
and sick. Abe stood up like a giant
and his face looked awful solemn.
Boys, if there's any more o. you
that want trouble you can have some
off the same piece he said.
"They hung their heads and not one
of them made a move or said word.
Abe went to Armstrong and helped
him up.
Jack, I'm sorry that had to hurt
you he said. You get on to your
horse and go home
Abe, you're better man than me-
said the bully, as he offered his hand
to Abe. I'll do anything you say"
So the Clary's Grove gang was con-
quered. They were to make more
trouble but not again were they to
imperil the foundations of law and
order in the little community of New
Salem. AS they were starting away
Bap McNOll turned TO Harry Needles
and shouted: an git even with you
yet--you slab-sided son of a dog"
That is not exactly what he said
but it Is near enough.
