Brother Anse Talbot and Juanita
and doctor who had come from
Lexington were witnesses to that
leave-taking. They saw the old man
beckon feebly to the boy. Young Milt
came and sat on the edge of the bed,

code, would be mandatory for life.
They all waited to hear the old lion
break out in final burst of vindictive-
ness, to see him lay upon his boys
young shoulders the unfinished or
deals of his hatreds. But it was the
eye of the father, not the feudist, that
gazed up from the pillow. His wasted
fingers lay affectionately on his sons

A week after the death of the old
