O26 THE GIRL FROM HONG-KONG e CHAPTER XXIII. BRAVO, BARON! Dorts has ere now ‘proved that she- possesses no ordi- nary nature. When the fierce night attack was made upon the caravan of merchants from the rich valleys of India, by the hill tribes of Afghanistan, she showed remarkable presence of mind, and a nerve that would have done the bravest soldier credit.
