Adrienne had the power of melting masculine diffidence, and her smile as she rode at his side, and asked, "What is your name?" brought an answering smile to his grim lips. "Joe Hollman, ma'am," he answered; and the girl gave an involuntary start. The two men who caught the name closed up the gap between the horses, with suddenly piqued interest. "Hollman!" exclaimed the girl.
Micah Hollman had established himself at Hixon, that shack town which had passed of late years from feudal county seat to the section's one point of contact with the outside world; a town where the ancient and modern orders brushed shoulders; where the new was tolerated, but dared not become aggressive.
But, when he rejoined the group in the road, he found himself looking into surly visages, and the features of Jim Hollman in particular were black in their scowl of smoldering wrath. "Why didn't ye axe him," growled the kinsman of the man who had been shot, "whar the other feller's at?" "What other fellow?" echoed the Lexington man.
He had amazed the community by demanding the right to assist in probing and prosecuting the affair. He had then shocked the community into complete paralysis by requesting the Grand Jury to indict not alone the alleged assassin, but also his employers, whom he named as Judge Hollman and Sheriff Purvy. Then, he, too, fell under a bolt from the laurel.
All King Edward's splendid qualities were necessary to take her place, combined with the effect of the world's surprise at discovering a great king where they had expected to see only a brilliant prince who had been a constant lover of pomp and pleasure. I was later admitted to Buckingham Palace to play with Josef Hollman, the violinist, before Queen Alexandra.
So long as it was broad daylight, and he displayed no hostility, he knew he was safe and he had plans. Standing before the Hollman store were Jim Asberry and several companions. They greeted Tamarack affably, and he paused to talk. "Ridin' over ter Misery?" inquired Asberry. "'Lowed I mout as well." "Mind ef I rides with ye es fur es Jesse's place?"
The lawyer, who was for the time being exalted to the bench, hoped to ascend it more permanently by the votes of the Hollman faction, since only Hollman votes were counted. He was a young man of powerful physique with a face ruggedly strong and honest.
Thet road belongs ter the county. They got a license ter travel hit, but this strip right hyar hain't ther healthiest section they kin find. I reckon ye'd better advise 'em ter move on." The Lexington man went back. For a minute or two, Jim Hollman sat scowling down in indecision from his saddle. Then, he admitted to himself that he had done all he could do without becoming the aggressor.
The man from Lexington, finding himself face to face with a new difficulty, turned and argued in a low voice with the Hollman leader. But Jim Hollman, whose eyes were fixed on Samson, refused to talk in a modulated tone, and he shouted his reply: "I hain't got nothin' ter whisper about," he proclaimed. "Go axe 'em who hit war thet got away from hyar."
The master of hounds mopped his forehead. "Are we still going toward Samson South's house?" he inquired. "We're about a quarter from hit now, an' we hain't never varied from the straight road." "Will they be apt to give us trouble?" Jim Hollman smiled. "I hain't never heered of no South submittin' ter arrest by a Hollman." The trailers examined their firearms, and loosened their holster- flaps.
