They
growled
a
response
and
went
on
digging
.
For
some
time
there
was
no
noise
but
the
grating
sound
of
the
spades
discharging
their
freight
of
mould
and
gravel
.
It
was
very
monotonous
.
Finally
a
spade
struck
upon
the
coffin
with
a
dull
woody
accent
,
and
within
another
minute
or
two
the
men
had
hoisted
it
out
on
the
ground
.
They
pried
off
the
lid
with
their
shovels
,
got
out
the
body
and
dumped
it
rudely
on
the
ground
.
The
moon
drifted
from
behind
the
clouds
and
exposed
the
pallid
face
.
The
barrow
was
got
ready
and
the
corpse
placed
on
it
,
covered
with
a
blanket
,
and
bound
to
its
place
with
the
rope
.
Potter
took
out
a
large
spring-knife
and
cut
off
the
dangling
end
of
the
rope
and
then
said
:
592
"
Now
the
cussed
thing
's
ready
,
Sawbones
,
and
you
'll
just
out
with
another
five
,
or
here
she
stays
.
"
593
"
That
's
the
talk
!
"
said
Injun
Joe
.

"
Look
here
,
what
does
this
mean
?
"
said
the
doctor
.
"
You
required
your
pay
in
advance
,
and
I
've
paid
you
.
"
595
"
Yes
,
and
you
done
more
than
that
,
"
said
Injun
Joe
,
approaching
the
doctor
,
who
was
now
standing
.
"
Five
years
ago
you
drove
me
away
from
your
father
's
kitchen
one
night
,
when
I
come
to
ask
for
something
to
eat
,
and
you
said
I
war
n't
there
for
any
good
;
and
when
I
swore
I
'd
get
even
with
you
if
it
took
a
hundred
years
,
your
father
had
me
jailed
for
a
vagrant
.
Did
you
think
I
'd
forget
?
The
Injun
blood
ai
n't
in
me
for
nothing
.
And
now
I
've
GOT
you
,
and
you
got
to
SETTLE
,
you
know
!
"

He
was
threatening
the
doctor
,
with
his
fist
in
his
face
,
by
this
time
.
The
doctor
struck
out
suddenly
and
stretched
the
ruffian
on
the
ground
.
Potter
dropped
his
knife
,
and
exclaimed
:
597
"
Here
,
now
,
do
n't
you
hit
my
pard
!
"
and
the
next
moment
he
had
grappled
with
the
doctor
and
the
two
were
struggling
with
might
and
main
,
trampling
the
grass
and
tearing
the
ground
with
their
heels
.
Injun
Joe
sprang
to
his
feet
,
his
eyes
flaming
with
passion
,
snatched
up
Potter
's
knife
,
and
went
creeping
,
catlike
and
stooping
,
round
and
round
about
the
combatants
,
seeking
an
opportunity
.
All
at
once
the
doctor
flung
himself
free
,
seized
the
heavy
headboard
of
Williams
'
grave
and
felled
Potter
to
the
earth
with
it
--
and
in
the
same
instant
the
half-breed
saw
his
chance
and
drove
the
knife
to
the
hilt
in
the
young
man
's
breast
.
He
reeled
and
fell
partly
upon
Potter
,
flooding
him
with
his
blood
,
and
in
the
same
moment
the
clouds
blotted
out
the
dreadful
spectacle
and
the
two
frightened
boys
went
speeding
away
in
the
dark
.

Presently
,
when
the
moon
emerged
again
,
Injun
Joe
was
standing
over
the
two
forms
,
contemplating
them
.
The
doctor
murmured
inarticulately
,
gave
a
long
gasp
or
two
and
was
still
.
The
half-breed
muttered
:
599
"
THAT
score
is
settled
--
damn
you
.
"
600
Then
he
robbed
the
body
.
After
which
he
put
the
fatal
knife
in
Potter
's
open
right
hand
,
and
sat
down
on
the
dismantled
coffin
.
Three
--
four
--
five
minutes
passed
,
and
then
Potter
began
to
stir
and
moan
.
His
hand
closed
upon
the
knife
;
he
raised
it
,
glanced
at
it
,
and
let
it
fall
,
with
a
shudder
.
Then
he
sat
up
,
pushing
the
body
from
him
,
and
gazed
at
it
,
and
then
around
him
,
confusedly
.
His
eyes
met
Joe
's
.
