THE GIRL WHO DARED. : 53 moves his coat and rolls up his shirt sleeves as might a gladiator ere commencing his work in the ring. Ralph Rollins, after receiving a few lashes, rolls over on the ground, groaning, then scrambles to his knees, finds himself beyond the reach of the little whip, regains his feet, and speeds away. Hawk’s Nest will know him no longer; it would be a decidedly unhealthy region for a man of his size, caught in such a despicable act. Amos Peterman, the fellow who has pursued aan a strange, Suet utes course toward the young owner of the forest lodge, has more of the wolf in his nature. He forgets all save the fact that he is being lashed with scorpions, for the riding whip leaves a welt wherever it curls around his face or neck. So, with the savage growl of a beast, he struggles to his feet and rushes at the girl, when she is sud- denly but firmly pushed to one side, and the wretch faces a man—faces Bob Pemberton.
