Dave ducked, and, as Merwell swung around, caught the bully in the right ear.

Then he followed the blow by one on the neck and another directly in the mouth.

The latter loosened two teeth and sent the bully into the arms of Hank Snogger.
"Well, have you had enough ?" asked Dave.

He was panting for breath, and his eyes were blazing with determination.
A look full of the bitterest kind of hatred filled the face of Link Merwell, but he was too staggered to attack Dave again.

He leaned on Hank Snogger and then turned his face away.
"I say, have you had enough--or do you want another dose ?" demanded Dave.
"I'll--fight this out some other time," answered Merwell, weakly.
