Excerpt: "e;Biff-thump! "e;Oh, what a soaker!"e; "e;Go at him, Rattleton!"e; "e;Don't let him knock you up against the door like that."e; Biff! biff!-thump! "e;There you go again!"e; "e;Oh, jose your claw-I mean close your jaw!"e; panted Harry Rattleton, as he ducked and escaped a left-hand swing from Frank Merriwell, with whom he was boxing in the room of the latter at Yale. "e;You fellows are not in this!"e; "e;You're not in it, either,"e; lazily laughed Bruce Browning, who was half sitting, half reclining on the couch, watching the boxing bout and smoking a pipe at the same time. "e;Well, you weren't such a much when you got up against Merriwell that time you tried to do him,"e; snapped Rattleton, backing out as Frank slowly followed him up. "e;That's ancient history,"e; declared the big fellow. "e;But Merriwell found me a pretty warm baby!"e; "e;Get up and try him now!"e; cried Harry. "e;I'll bet he'll bang you all over the room before you touch him."e; "e;Thanks!"e; grinned Bruce. "e;I've quit the ring. I'm not looking for pugilistic glory any more."e; "e;Stand up to him, Rattleton,"e; advised Diamond. "e;You do too much running away."e; "e;Oh, you know!"e; flung back Rattleton. "e;You've had your turn, too, and you wasn't so good."e; "e;You can't do anything with him if you don't try to hit him,"e; said Bart Hodge, who was sitting astride a chair in the corner. "e;More thanks! If you'll put the gloves on, I'll guarantee you will not hit him any oftener than I have. I believe he gave you a dose of medicine once on a time. I'm the only fellow in the room who hasn't been punched in earnest by him. You chaps are good talkers, but-- No you don't."e; Then he went under Frank's arm like a cat, giving Merry a sharp jab in the ribs."e;
