Corrupt business and corrupt politics act and react, with ever increasing debasement, one on the other; the rebate-taker, the franchise-trafficker, the manipulator of securities, the purveyor and protector of vice, the black-mailing ward boss, the ballot box stuffer, the demagogue, the mob leader, the hired bully and mankiller, all alike work at the same web of corruption, and all alike should be abhorred by honest men.
The greatest difficulty was how to grind the wheat. "You have an engine here?" asked Ambrose. "Yes, for our thrashing-machine," said Simon. "I could order a small process mill from outside," said Ambrose, "but it's doubtful if we could get it in this year." "I have a hand mill," said Simon. "We call her the mankiller. Work all day, grind a couple bags of flour. It is very old."
Yes, and I've filled about half of my time with Terry and his training. Vance, you are right. If he has the elements of a mankiller in him after what I've done for him, then he's a hopeless case. The sheriff shall stay! The sheriff shall stay!" She kept repeating it, as though the repetition of the phrase might bring her courage. And then she went back among her guests.
"Have I ever let it go out of my mind? But it isn't the danger of Terry shooting. It's the danger of Terry being shot. If he should reach for a gun against the sheriff that professional mankiller Vance, something has to be done!" "Right," he nodded. "I wouldn't trust Terry in the face of such a temptation to violence. Not for a moment!"
On my way out I will see Martin Sellers about it. He has power. As soon as the grain is begun to be thrashed start the mankiller going to try and get a little ahead with the flour. Send Tole and another good man in a dugout up to the crossing to meet me. Let them start August 8. I am sending by Tole two bottles of Madeira wine.
He had received the name of 'The Mankiller' over there, and they were rather relieved to have me get him out of the country. "His last victim was a Frenchman, one of the best-known trainers in the business, and he went into the cage to subdue Wallace on a wager. He won, and a remarkable performance it was, but I won't take the time to tell you about that now.
We cannot wait a month for flour." "What's the matter with the mankiller?" "Broke," was the laconic answer. "We fix it. Every day it break again. Now it is all broke." "Well, every family will have to grind for themselves," said Ambrose. Simon shrugged. "We have a new trouble here." "What is it?" Ambrose anxiously demanded. "The Kakisa Indians," Simon said.
He shot down the man who killed his father. He has killed another man who was a professional bully and mankiller. And he's broken into a bank and taken money from a man who deserved to lose it a wolf of a man everybody hates. He's done nothing really wrong yet, but he will before long. Just because he's stronger than other men. And he doesn't know his strength. And he's fine, Miss Cornish.
