Mrs. McNash was looking up vague

away, and this outpouring of speech
near at hand meant little to her.
Juanita, as she finished her wild
peroraticn, fell suddenly to trembling
Her strength seemed to have gone
out of her words. Her knees seemed
too weak to support her, and for the
first time in her life, as she looked
into the face of Anse Havey, ominous.

the stabs of rapiers, and in his quiet

himself to speak, then he thrust a
chair forward and said in a level
toneless sort of voice: IF ye're all

The girl made no move to take the
chair. and Anse Havey took one STEP
forward and pointed to it. This time
his voice came quick and sharp, like
the crack of a mule-whip.

So, she told herself, Bad Anse had

could not even buy foothold on which
to begin her fight. Back there in the
Philadelphia banks lay enough money.
she bitterly reflected, to buy the coun-

man carried the force of terror, she
could not purchase a few acres to

CHAPTER X

For a few moments Bad Anse Havey
did not speak, and Juanita dropped al
most Imply into the chair he had
pushed forward. Havey paced the mar
row length Of the room, pausing once
to gaze down at the rigid body Of the
dead man. At last he came and took
his place squarely before her by the
hearth, both hands thrust deep into
his coat-pockets. A long black lock
fell over his forehead and he impa-
tiently shook it back
I'm the first place." he began in his
deliberate voice, we've said some
things tibet 1 doubt not We believe to
be true, but they're most all of 'em
les
He flung back his head and looked
squarely down at her, his eyes mar
row and swapping. but with his voice
pitched to low cadence. we've said
things that, since ye're a woman,

only thing l asks is tibet We harken to

never killed no man that didn't have
his face lords me. nor one that wasn't
armed. I've never hired any man
killed.
we've likened me to Milt McBriar-
Thet was lie, too. Ye've said some
right bitter things, an 1 can't answer
ye. If We was man 1 could"
"And if / were a man, what would
you say to me?" she inquired

icy coldness- be pretty liable to
tell We to eternally go to hell
and if l were man." she promptly
retorted, I'D endeavor with every
ounce of manhood had in me to see
that you and the others like you did
go there. I'd try to see that you went
the appropriate way-through the
trap of the gallows.''
She saw his attitude stiffen and his
face flush brick-red to the cheek-bones.
But after a few seconds she heard him
speak with fair counterfeit of amuse-
ment
wall, it pears like we've both got
to be right smart disappointed-on ac-
count of your bein' a woman"
And this time it was she who

In spite of herself she smiled

ye're plumb, everlastingly sartain
who got your pa, We won't raise your
gun against any man."
The boy sank down into his chair
and bowed his head in his hands,
while his fnger-nails bit into his tenn
pies. Even Juanita Holland had felt
the effect of Havey's wonderfully
quieting voice. Finally Jeb McNash
raised his face.
AN will ye give me yore hand,
Anse Havey, tibet if We finds hit out
afore 1 do, yen tell me tibet mans
manner"
81 amt never turned my back on
kinsman yet, Jeb," said Anse grave
ly.
The boy nodded his acquiescence
and hurrfedIy left the room. Juanita
gently lifted Dawn's head from her
lap and went forward to the hearth
She had listened in silence, out
ragged at this callous talk and this
private usurpation of powers of life
and death. Now it seemed to her
that to remain silent longer was al
most to become an accomplice.
Something in her grew rigid She
saw the bent and lethargic figure of
the bereaved wife and the stark, sheet
ed body of the feud's last victim. Be
fore her stood the man more than
anyone else responsible for such con-
ditions.
"Mr. Havey," she said, as her voice
grew coldly purposeful with the ring
of challenge, 81 have been told that
you did not mean to let me stay here;
that you did not intend to give these
poor children the chance to grow
straight and decent"
She paused, because SO much was
struggling Indignantly for utterance
that she found composure very diff
cult And as she paused she heard
him inquire in an ironically quiet
voice: who told ye that?"
Never mind who told me. 1 haven't
come here to answer your questions.
1 came too these feud-cursed hills to
fight conditions for which you stand
as sponsor and patron saint. 1 came
here to try to give the children re-
lease from ignorance because ig-
norance makes them easy tools and
dupes for murder lords-like you
Again her tumult of spirit halted
her and she heard Dawn sobbing with
grief and fright on the bed
Are We through" inquired Anse
Hayey- HIS voice mad the n1nty quiet
of cruelty repressed passion. and his
face had whitened. but he had not
moved

with rising vehemence- Il came here

He had listened while the muscles
of his jaws stood out in cramped ten
sity and the veins began to cord them
selves on his temples Now he said
| in a low voice. between his teeth: by
heaven. don't liken me to Milt Nc

and wildly. then swept ON.
