Ordinarily, It would have been =

great as was his strength and endur-

But Judge Ball didn't accept. Doubt

"The' CANT be no fightin' in COTE"
he said. you sh'll hang by the neck

There was a humble Of approval
from the others. Doubtless they, too,
remembered that the young man whom
they held 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.

brushwood being used, and in its red
and pickering glare the faces of the
hil'Imen looked doubly dark and douBly
wicked. Then the Judge begged
chew of tobacco and deliberately kept
the whole twist, and told the, jury to
go out and bring back a verdict With
out losing time.
The twelve mountaineers rose I'M
steadily and went to the creek, and
there one of them uncovered another
jug of fiery new whisky that was alien
to a revenue stamp. They drank
heavily and returned to the walnut
tree court without mentioning the
trial.
The foreman was Torrey, and
particularly bad one. His swarthy
face, with Its high Cherokee cheek
bones and its thin-lipped mouth, was
ultra-cruel, ultra-vicious. He entered
the circle Of red and Pickering freight
slowly, smiling evilly, and the other
eleven crowded up close behind him.
He cleared his throat, spat between
two fingers at the fire. and turned to
the judge.
"Gentlemen o. the jury" growled

he pronounced sentence, 'you sh'll
hang by the neck ontel dead, from a
limb o. this here warnut tree, by gon-
MES, at sunrise in the mornin'."
Although he had well known what
the sentence would be, Dale went sud-
denly ashen. THEN he took firm
grip on himself and began to reason.
He could not hope, he decided, that
the MoreIands and the Littlefords
would find him before the sun rose.
They would miss him, of course, and
they would suspect foul play and look
for him; but finding him In that Wild
erness-it was impossible. 1t became
plain to him that he would have to
save himself If he were saved. He
believed his best chance lay in his
proving that he was anything but a
coward the worst mountaineer,, ne

was produced, and the condemned
man was securely bound, standing on
his feet and facing outward, to the

case, Dale couldn't help being trifie

was so grimly real, and his hopes

and. went straight to the northeast,
missing the Ball settlement by good
mile, and hard on his heels followed

a RATHER that had eight rattles to its

But they travelled rapidly, notwith-

difficult; and two hours after the be-
ginning Of the little journey Dale saw
before him small and almost circular,
level-bottomed basin walled in by low
cliffs. A. small creek ran through this
trance. In the hollow they saw clumps
of laurel and huckleberry bushes, and
wild grasses knee-high; toward the
center stood solitary big and gnarled
black walnut tree.
They entered at the point at which
the creek ran in. and went to the wal
