Both got in some sharp blows, and the round ended with a clean knock-down for Browning, who planted a terrific blow between Merriwell's eyes and sent the freshman to the floor. The sophs were jubilant and the freshmen were downcast. Merriwell simply laughed as he sat on Rattleton's knee.
Then he knelt, buried his chest in the mire, and sprang up next moment with the coin clenched between his sharp white teeth. The spectators applauded. The chiffonnier smiled a dark smile, and turned away. "Hello, my friend!" cried Camors, touching his arm, "would you like to earn five Louis? If so, give me a knock-down blow.

"Honest to God, Saxon," he took up the broken thread, "they's times when I've hated them, when I wanted to jump over the ropes and wade into them, knock-down and drag-out, an' show'm what fightin' was.

And as Dave floundered, hopelessly puzzled, he added: "Give me a knock-down, man, don't you savvy?" Dave dropped his sliver, snatched off his hat, and rid himself of a quid of something strong all in one convulsion of activity. "'Scuse me," he apologized, approaching nearer. "Miss Miss Miss Laffin' Water, this is Van. His whole name's " "That's enough," Van interrupted.
Wemock had learned that the strap was safer than a knock-down, however, as a dose of it overnight did not hinder his wife from crawling out of bed to prepare the breakfast and get to work, whereas a kick such as he preferred, had been known to disable her for a week, with inconvenient results as to his own dinners and suppers.
