 Early that morning, men began to assemble along the streets of Hixon; and to congregate into sullen clumps with set faces that denoted a grim, unsmiling determination. Not only the Hollmans from the town and immedi- ate neighborhood were there, but their shaggier, fiercer brethren from remote creeks and covers, who came only at urgent call, and did not come without intent of vindicating their presence.

Samson went in and knocked, and instantly to the cabin door came Sallys slender, fiuttering figure. She put both arms about him. and her eyes, as she looked into his face, were terri fled, but fearless.
