folks reckon. yet young enough to tag at the
heels of Jody Pingree, who was towheaded,
stringy built and fifteen. Jody hadn't minded,
but after this thing happened, he let her know
she pestered him, and that's when Lisbeth
got out.
On this day, Jody and his father had just
left the cider mill and Lisbeth was watching
them make the last abrupt pitch into the
main road, with the wagon riding the gray
mares hips.
Likely the accident was nobody's fault.
Not five cars year came over the Hill Road.
and the Pingrees hadn't learned to be watch
full Without warning. the big black oontrap-
ton slithered around bend and was upon
them.
There was the blaring of horn, the
shrek of brakes, and the splintering crash.
There were things flying in an awful way,
making blur in Lisbeth's eyes. When it
cleared, the wagon was kndling wood, and
Jody and Mace were in the ditch.
The mare, still within the thills, was tear
ing down the road.
Jody shook back his stringy hair and came
to his feet Mace Pingee coughed hollowly,
and took longer time. A bulky man, young,
dark, slid out of the car.
He yelled: What dye mean, boilin' out

in the road like this? Look at me car! A
bumper twisted, a lamp smashed to hell!''
Mace looked about troubled. Il reckon
you ruint my waggin."
''Okay, hillbilly! Here's on acoount" And
the brawny fist smacked into Nace's face.
Mace coughed again, slumped down.
Then Jody was there, his spindly arms
failing. as he waded straight into the blow
that sent him in an arc, to land on his shoul-
ders in the dirt. He crawled out of the dust
cloud, started again for the spraddle- legged,
waiting young OK.
A fat man tumbled from the car. mix,
Butch! A kid like him.
Keep the hell out, Maxew Again that
heavy fist smashed into Jody.
The man Make helped him up, this time.
Get away, kid. He's Butch Runther, the
prize6ghtez."
you leave me be-" Jody was crying, but
it was the squall of an angry mountain cat,
not that of beaten boy. Dammit, leave
me BEL" and he beat himself loose.
Butch Runther grinned harder. you asked
for it, punk Here it comes!"
It came, and kept coming battering Jody
back and back. till he crumpled into the
ditch. Mace Pingree stirred, groaned, and
Butch walked over to him. Lifted his foot,
swung it right between the thin shoulders
of middle-aged, work-worn Mace.
Lisbeth saw Jody struggling up, but she
didn't wait. Likely she didn't let out her first
angry gasp till she'd flashed to the pronged
tree near the cider mill, where her grandpa
kept his squirrel gun, and was back to the
apple tree.
Jody was weaving to his feet. Butch stood
there, laughing, fist ready.
Lisbeth cried out, whippoorwill- -shrill,
We'll git him. Jody! The damned polecat"
Make squealed: Glory. Butch! She's got
a gun! Duck - she'll shootv
He saw it in Lisbeth's eyes. know he did.
Her eyes would be the same back there, even
though she must have been funny little
thing: thin, scant- t-skirted, with long black
pigtails hanging each side of pinched, tense
face, as she balanced the squirrel rifle across

UVHls is really Beth's story. She claimed
it soon after she came to the Echo

Since when," asked her, docs she
cub break into my sports page? I've been
following Butch Runther, the yellow bum,
since he made his first win. and now that he's
going places, he's mine.
"You can have him." she told me. MY
story is about the fool from Squaw Mountain
who's going to wipe Butch Runther up"
agreed. Maybe because che turned her
gray eyes on me, and nobody could look into
Beth's eyes without knowing she meant to
do what she said. Or maybe because OF the
way felt about her by then.
Anyhow, the story was hers. Then. last
night, after it exploded in our faces. Beth
walked out and left the writing of it all up
to me.

part from Beth, and it's straight, because
Beth reaches into story and lifts the heart
out, warm and pulsing, from the life left in it.

staggering him backward. 1t was Butch's
forearm, thrown upward for balance, that
the bullet creased.
No more word from Butch or Make. They
were in the car, Butch Numbered down, while
Make sent it swooping on down around the
next bend.
LIsBErH tumbled down the slope, her face
twisted with fury, her eyes blazing, no doubt.
Jody caught her arm, while he gasped for
breath. Then his speech was lash.
''You ought to be whipped, Lisbeth. ours

Now got to hunt him down."
Don't talk sch, son" his father got out

Jody's voice was hoarse. III wait then.

people,"
Feeling as l did about Lisbeth, could
only be glad that Jody never forgave her,
never forgot to let her know that she pestered
him, whenever she came near. So Lisbeth got
out. She was smart and had already been
chosen among the five who were to get a
chance at the Settlement School below Her
graduation reward was chance on the Echo,
where she made good, collected everything
about Butch Runther's rise in the fight world
-. and waited.
That's where l came in. Jody Pingree
was twenty when found him that morning.
