And it could also be seen that his slight frame was admirably moulded and bound firmly together. Calm and serene the young schoolmaster stood, and as the bully camo up he raised his left elbow, passing tho dirty fist over his shoulder, and at the same time planting his fist upon Burke's face with a blow that sounded like the report ot a pistol, and litted the giant completely off his feet.
