Johnson's stud-horse. so that Durham may have some chance! I don't want to see the man killed right away"
 These and many other like expressions. interspersed thickly with oaths of the most modern coinage, were coming from ali points of the upper battalion. while Bob was adjusting the girth of his pam taloons. which walking had discovered not to be exactly right. It was just fixed to his mind. his foes becoming a little noisy, and his friends a little uneasy at his delay, when Billy called out, with a smile of some meaning, Where's the bully of the lower battalion? I'm getting tired of waiting"
 Here he is!' said Bob, lighting as it seemed from the clouds into the ring. for he had actually bounded clear of the head of Ransy Sniffle into the circle. His de- scent was quite as imposing as Billy's entry and excited the same feelings. but In opposite bosoms.
 Voices of exultation now rose on his side.
 Where did he come from?'
 Why" said one of his seconds Gall having just entered), i've were girting him up about a hundred yards out wonder when he heard Billy ask for the bully, and he fetched leap over the courthouse and went out of sight; but I told them to come on, they'd find him here.'
 Here the lower battalion burst into a peal of laughter, mingled with q look of admiration which seemed to denote their entire belief of what they had heard.
 Boys, widen the ring, so as to give him room to jump"
 "Oh, my little flying wildcat, hold him if you can and, when you get him fast, hold lightning nextr'
 Ned, what do you think he's made of?'
 "Steel springs and chicken-hawk, God bless youl"
 "Gentlemen," said one of Bob's seconds, .I understand it Is to be fair hght- catch as catch can. rough and tumble: no man touch till one or the other haloos"
 That's the rule, was the reply from the other side.
 Are you ready?'
 I've are ready"
 Then blaze away, my game cocks!'
 At the word Bob dashed, at his antag- onlst at full speed, and Bill squared him self to receive him with one of his most fatal blows. Making his calculation from Bob's velocity of the time when he would come within striking distance. he let drive with tremendous force. But Bob's " planned to avoid this blow: for. contrary to all expectations, he stopped short just out of arms reach. and before Billy could recover his balance Bob had him "al under-hold." The next second, sure enough. found Billy's head where his feet ought to be- How 1t was done no one could tell; but, as If by su- pernatural power, both Billys feet were thrown full half his own height in the air, and he came down with a force that seemed to shake the earth. AS he struck the ground. commngled shouts, screams and yells burst from the lower battalion, loud enough to be heard for miles.
 "Hurrah my little hornet'' Save him." Feed him!" "Give him the Dur ham physic till his stomach turnsl' Billy was no sooner down than Bob was on him and lending him awful blows about the face and breast Billy made two efforts to rise by main strength but failed. Lord bless you, man, don't try to get up Lay still and take iti You bleege to have it!''
 Billy now turned his face suddenly to the ground, and rose upon his hands and knees. Bob jerked up both his hands and threw him on his face. He again recov- cred his late position. of which Bob en- deavored to deprive him as before; but missing one arm. he failed. and Billy rose But he had scarcely resumed his feet before they flew up as before and he came again to the ground.
