The town bully has everybody whipped without striking a blow. He simply pulled a big bluff, and when Zeke Thompson passed with his sweetheart they were both forced to suffer an insult from the bully because Zeke was afraid to ignore the bully's reputation and resent the insult. Of course, his sweetheart stamps him a coward and jilts him, but Zeke makes good in a most novel way and the bully's laurels lose their verdure.
