Yelping, the beast swerved back. But others ran in and in at them; and now the torch was failing. Both of them shouted and struck; and the revolver stabbed the night with fire. Pandemonium rose in the forest.
"You better pull yer freight before I take a wallop at yuh," he remarked, loudly. "Tell 'im to go git a shave, bo," suggested the bullet-headed man.

Like a man condemned to death, he stared at the world he was losing. "Who is Bessie Lowe?" Leila questioned. "And why have they called you to tell of her?"
