MY KIND DELIVERER AND MISS LAURA.
THERE was a young man going by on a bicycle.

He heard my screams, and springing off his bicycle, came hurrying up the path, and stood among us before Jenkins caught sight of him.
In the midst of my pain, I heard him say fiercely, "What have you been doing to that dog ?" "I've been cuttin' his ears for fightin', my young gentleman," said Jenkins.

"There is no law to prevent that, is there ?" "And there is no law to prevent my giving you a beating," said the young man angrily.

In a trice he had seized Jenkins by the throat and was pounding him with all his might.
