III see If you're all game" Dale
said, and he smiled when he spoke.
"Tll make you this proposition: I'll
fight any ten of you, two at time,
with five minutes rest between fights
if l whip them all | go free. and If
| don't whip them all hang immedi-
ately. All parties TO be barehanded
no guns and no knives. Are you that
game"
Ordinarily, 1t would have been a
thing well nigh impossible to do, much
as Dale knew Of the pugilistic art,
great as was his strength and endur-
ance. But now most of those about
Dale were drunk and therefore weak
ened, and he believed he had chance
If old Ball accepted.
But Judge Ball didn't accept. Doubt
less he remembered his son Adams
fight with Dale.
"The' CANT be no fightin' in COTE"
he said. "You sh'll hang by the neck
ontel dead, at sunrise in the mornin'."
There was humble of approval
from the others. Doubtless they, too,
remembered that the young man whom
they held a captive had once whipped
Black Adam Ball, the mountaineer
Goliath, with his bare hands. They
did not have the one good trait that
Dale had hoped they possessed; while
they must have admired him for his
courage, they were afraid to fight him
without weapons. Dale recalled the
fact that the Balls were not originally
hillfolk, but lowlanders who had taken
to the mountains in order to avoid
being forced to fight during the Civil
war, people without a principle.
The Cherokee Torreys, of course, were
even worse.
"Kitty, kitty, kitty!" Walt Turner
called tauntingly again. "He walked
into the trap like pore little kitty !"
A plowline of half-inch cotton rope
was produced, and the condemned
man was securely bound, standing on
his feet and facing outward, to the
big walnut. Desperate as was his
case, Dale couldn't help being a trifle
amused at that part of it. 1t was
