Chapter XVII
DICK AT THE STANHOPE COTTAGE "The villain!" Such were the words which sprang involuntarily to Dick's lips as he gazed at the scene before him. He was filled with bitter indignation and could hardly resist the temptation to break in the window and leap to Dora's assistance. As he paused, he saw Dora push Crabtree back and leap to the opposite side of the center table. "Don't you dare to touch me, Mr. Crabtree!" came loud enough for Dick to hear quite, plainly.
