Anse Havey had been looking ahead
When old Milt McBriar had said
Them Haveys lows tibet I'd cross hell
on a rotten plank ter do 'em injury
he had shot close to the mark Bad
Anse knew that the quiet-visaged old
murder lord could no more free himself
from guile and deceit than the RATHER
can separate itself from the poison
which impregnates it's fangs and ma
ture.
When he had taken Mills hand, seal
ing the truce, he had not been be-
was only strategy and was totally in
sincere Yet in Young Milt he saw
possibilities. He was accustomed to
ognized a clean and sterling strain in
the younger McBriar.
He hated the breed with a hatred
that was flesh of his flesh and bone of
his bone. but with an eye of prophecy
he foresaw the day when a disrupted
mountain community must fall asun-
der unless native sons could unite
against the conquest of lowland greed.
He could never trust Old Milt. but he
hoped that he and Young Milt, who
theirs authority. might stand together
in that inevitable crisis
This idea had for a long time been
vaguely taking shape in his mind. and
when ne met Young Milt in the woods
and proposed uniting to save Juanita' s
school he was laying the cornerstone
for that future alliance
AT sunset Young Milt came and he
came without having spoken of his
purpose at home The night was sharp
and moonless. with no light save that
which came from the coldly glittering
stars. and Anse and Young Mili
crouched for hours. knee to knee in the
dead thickets. keeping watch
At last they both saw a creeping fig
ure which was only a vague shadow
moving among shadows. and they
peered with straining eyes and raised
rifles But the shadow fell very still
and since it was only by its movement
that they could detect it. they waited
in vain.
| What hint of being watched was
