Excerpt from Frank Merriwell's Skill These words came from neither the barefooted boy nor the man who was maltreating him. They were spoken by a tall, gawky, country - looking young fellow dressed in a bicycle suit, who had just issued from a hotel in Fort Worth, Texas, and thus, by accident, came upon the struggle that was taking place before the door. Ou the veranda in front of the hotel sat a young man who was laughing as if greatly amused by the struggles and cries of the unfortunate boy.
