CHAPTER V.
THE FINISH.
Diamond's recovery and the manner in which he resumed the fight caused general astonishment.

Even Bruce Browning had come to think that the Virginian was "out." Frank was taken by surprise.

Before he could square away to meet his foe, Diamond struck him a terrific blow near the temple, knocking him into Rattleton's arms.
"Foul!" cried Harry, excitedly.

"Horner hadn't given the word." "Foul! foul!" came from all sides.
"There is no foul in this fight save when something is used besides fists," declared Merriwell as he staggered from his roommate's arms.
"It's all right and it goes." But he found that everything seemed swimming around him, and dark spots were pursuing each other before his eyes.

The floor seemed to heave like the deck of a ship at sea.
