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.
In the first place" he began in his
deliberate voice. we've said some
things thet ! doubt not ye believe to
be true. but they're most all of EN-
lies"
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. "Ye've said
things that, since ye're a woman,
amt got any way OF answerin'. The
only thing | asks is thet ye harken to
what | want to say"
Go on; I'm listening with humble
attention"
"fe've called me a murderer an
| hirer of murderers. That's lie. I've
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.
"Ye've likened me to Milt McBriar.
Thet was a lie, too. Ye've said some
right bitter things. an cant answer
ye. If ye was a man could"
And If were a man, what would
you say to me?" she inquired.

Icy coldness-"rd be pretty liable to

And If 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 stifren and his
face flush brick-red to the cheek bones.
But after few seconds she heard him
speak with fair counterfeit of amuse.

gun against any man"
The boy sank down into his chair
and bowed his head In his hands.
while his flnger-nails bit into his TEN
pies. Even Juanita Holland had felt
the effect of Havey's wonderfully
quieting voice. Finally Jeb McNash
raised his face.

Il amt never turned my back on

iy.
The boy nodded his acquiescence
and hurriedly left the room. Juanita
gently lifted Dawn's head from her
hap and went forward to the hearth
She had listened in silence, out
ragged at this callous talk and this
private usurpatlon 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 COZ
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. | haven't
come here to answer your questions.
| came too these feud-cursed hills to
fight conditions for which you stand
as sponsor and patron saint. | 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 sobbinp with
grief and fright on the bed.
Are ye through" inquired Anse
Havey. His voice had the fiinty quiet
OF cruelty repressed passion, and his
face had whitened. but he had not
moved.
NO, I'm not through" she went on
with rising vehemence. 81 came here
seeking to interfere with no mans af-
fairs-wishing only to give your peo.
pie, without price. what they are en-
titled to-the light that all the rest
OF the world enjoys. I found the com.

He had listened while the muscles

IN low voice. between his teeth: "By

boxing at that time and was unskilled

blows. But the Jeffries that went in

Billy Delaney. my old trainer. was
Jim Jeffries' manager during the early
part OF Jim's flstic career. but along
IN the early part OF 1899 BIN decided
that he was better suited to be a
trainer than n manager and brought
Jeffries East with him in the hope OF
getting William A Brady TO handle
Jeff's interests.
Brady had been my manager from
the period preceding my fight with
sullivan but soon after the Fitzsim-
mons fight we parted company. That
left Brady open for other inducements
In the pugilistic line and he gladly
took the management of Jeffries soon
after this the Coney Island ATHLETIC
club offered purse OF $4,000 for a
fight be ween Fttzsimmons and Jeff
rles and Brady at once accepted on
behalf Of the Californian, Fitz soon
after was induced to sign the articles.
Many persons asserted from time
TO time that Rob Fitzsimmons under
estimated Jeffries: that ne figured that
the big Californian wasn't much more
than human punching bag. Fitz
knew that Jeffries was in my camp
while / was training for t<1e Carson
city aght and he also knew that
had no difficulty In hitting JeGries or
In blocking his blows. Fitz may have
reckoned that JEFF hadn't improved
much since then-and there's where
he made big hlunder.
Bob weighed somewhere in the
neighborhodd OF 17o-f75 pounds when
he went against Jeffries. Jim, or
