yearned for some excuse to bully
the city man.
THE OPPORTUNITY came a
fortnight later in front of the
village postoffice. It was evening
and more than half of the towns
population was gathered there. Al
len Bursley came out onto the
porch, his attention concentrated
on letter in his hand. He did not
see the outhrust foot Of Steve
Legge, and fell over it, saving HIM

"Look where you're going, you
clumsy idiot! Kicking man in

Allen withheld the apology that
rose to his lips, and said instead:
keep your legs under you if you
don't want them kicked"
Say! Who do you think you're
talking to, you shriveled-up city
sissy"
Allen hesitated, carefully folded
his letter and tucked it into his
pocket. "Legge," he said, Il don't
want to quarrel with you"
Steve let out roar of contemp-
tuous laughter. afraid, Ell? Well,
we don't abide towards"
But" finished Allen quietly,
Since you insist, let me advise
you, you brought it on yourself"
Steve lunged and something
struck him like a sledge-hammer
and set him back on his heels.
He struck out blindly, accompa-
nying his blows with foul curses,
only to have the curses jammed
between his teeth with the same
sledge hammer.
Above him Allen Bursley
heard feminine cry from be-
hind and turned to see May

held out his arms, but she
stopped, hand over mouth, try
ing to get out the cry of warn

in the hand of Steve Legge,
descended crushingly on the
back of Aliens head =.
When Allen opened his eyes his
head was pillowed in the lap of
