The man called Boots Sutton was already in his corner, waiting, and his attitude toward the whole affair was very patently that of sheer boredom. He barely lifted his eyes as Young Denny crawled through the ropes at the opposite corner, behind the officiously fluttering Ogden.
Field after field fled by him in painful succession till he found himself safe on the farther side of a big stone-faced "double," the last fence before the river. "Please God I'll never be a woman again!" ejaculated Mr. Denny as he wedged his left leg more tightly in behind the torturing leaping horn, "that was a hairy old place!
