' Kvans, captain of the
train, come back from hunting
, to find a strange sight beside the
mi " river. Now go on with the story
1 "f " ChaDter IT'
'J.' .-.There were eight or ten men,
, r, -"riose-gTouped by a tree that held a
mi branch above their heads. Tadlock
: Me made out as he walked closer and
i r,I.""l$FOther Weatherby, then Brewer
j " and McBee. He didn't try to single
i out more, lor now he saw an in.
!' dlan with them, hands behind him.
Brewer held a 'rifle on him. Weath-
er by and Tadlock were arguing. Tad
: t ' lock had a roDe.
." ' The men didn't notice Evans until
;." .he spoke. "What you all almin' to
5 do7"
, Weatherby turned. "They're going
id nane a man.''
""The Indian wasn't much more
than a boy, Evans thought, an In
dian boy no older much than Brown
a le standing dignified with a molty
w-learner in nis nair.
f -"What'd he steal?" Evans asked.
w'""HHe was wearing my coat for one
".'filing. For another, Shields caught
him chasing off a horse." Tadlock
f.- answered,
i " -"That ain't hangin' business."
-iJet' git on with it," McBee put;
in.
For a minute they all looked at
Evans, mans' gaze ieu oeiow ineirs
and traveled an the around and
f came to Weatherby. who stood' at
-r "the side as if praying, and went
irom mm to tne ieec oi tne inaian
...i and climbed ud and saw the bov,
-a. . dirty and thin and sturdy and un-
flinching, facing death because he
" had done what it had been born
'.Z and drilled in him to do; and a
sudden fury took him over, rising
out of shame and outrage. "No,"
" he cried out, "you don't do lti"
" There was blood-hunger in the
.., faces.
. - "Drop the rope, Tadlockl"
Tadlock threw the rope aside
" and squared away. '
Evans never had hit a man before.
, J Never In his grown life had he
ji struck out. The swing missed and
j.u left him open, and Tadlock struck
"'twice, the short and heavy blows
1 of one who knew the up of fists.
Evans swung and missed again and
felt the double hammer or the prac
ticed hands.
The blows shook him. They Jar
red his brain and struck lights in
his skull and dizzied his aim and
atop, and he knew he fought clumsi
ly, flaying out at air while his
feet staggered under him.
Blow and blow and lick on lick,
and the brain stunned and the eye
dimmed and- his fists forever off
the mark, and in his mouth the
salty leak of blood. He could stand
forever. There wasn't power enough
in 'raaiocKS arms to lay mm oui.
With' all his strength Evans swung
at tne ooneo line oi nis jaw.
Tadlock didn't falter and then
,t ir.slt. Ho slammed backwards all at
la once, neaa ana snomaers ana neeis,
and moved a little and lay quiet
!"WJth blank, half -opened eyes.
CltEvans pulled in a breath and
'..looked around the circle, and then
-ho walked to the Indian and untied
him.
-He didnt see the Indian slide into
j"tIe brush, for Rebecca tugged at
'his arm as tne rope came loose.
;..-?Come on, Llje."
('What?"
'Your face Is a sight."
i died in him. and the pride
rage that had made him glare his
'22Are at the men, and he said, "We
'hast see to Tadlock first. I didn't
. aim to hurt him bad."
- When Dick came into camp, he
. said, with the aulet grin in his
Bfy eyes, "I hear you done the
JSJedful, Llje." But Evans didn't
hve to have Dick's words to feel
aaUld in the right.
While the children shouted around

turned with sickness. .
The cup trembled from her finger,
and she set it down and locked her
hands in her lap. trying to catch

If she could talk to Mr. Mack!
but he hadn't made a way to see

Before she thought, she said,
"Purty is as purty does."
"Purty does all r'ght, I bet."
"You don't know nothln' about
me. Brownie."
Reckon I ao. iou wining to

She said. "Can't stay long."
Of a sudden she felt close to him
and somehow In his debt, for here,
In her aloneness. was a one that
prized her. Would he prize her no
matter what, she asked herself while
she waited for the dizziness to die
in her. Would he if he knew?
Thev walked downriver, beyond
the camp, and came to Beer Springs,
and he tried the taste of it. and they
sat down afterwards behind a white
cone where water had stopped flow
ing. "You ever think what you'll do
after you get to Oregon?" he asked.
"just Keep on neipin' Ma.
"I think a heap of things. I aim
to work hard and get along and
own a nice farm and have time to
hunt and fish."
He leaned back and out the heels
of his hands at his sides to brace
himself. "A heap of things. Like
about you, f'rinstance."

"I'm nigh eighteen. Mercy."
"I best go."
"Pa got hlsself married younger'n

She kept silent, drawing fear In,
putting it quiet in its secret place.
"I reckon you know what I'm set
to say."
"I ain't ready to think about it,
Brownie. I can't think about it.
I do' know as I feel the same, but
I thank you all the same."
She couldn't keep from crying.
The crying started deep In her and

she put her hands to her face and
felt his arm go across ner anouiaer.

The hand lay gently on ner oacK.
He held quiet, as If he knew she

was lost to him.
There was concern In his face,
and questions and kindness, and
of a sudden he bent and kissed her
cheek, kissed the kiss not of hun

"You alius look so sad," he said,
