I have nothing but the kindest feelings towards you, but I can't allow my interests to be jeopardized. Think it over can't you see it's for the best?" "No, I can't," answered Denver, "because I never killed Meacham and I don t believe any jury will convict me. If they do, I'll know who was behind it all and govern myself accordingly."
Johnnie had sight of Mandy Meacham, fixing eyes of terrified admiration upon her; then she nodded in reply to Shade Buckheath's angry stare, and a rattle of wheels apprized her that a carriage was passing on the other side. This vehicle contained the entire Hardwick family, with Lydia Sessions turning long to look her incredulous amazement back at them from her seat beside her brother-in-law.
"Uh-uh," put in Mandy Meacham slowly, speaking over the shoulders of the two, "but I'd a heap ruther take care of my own child ef I had one. An' ef the mills can afford to pay for it the one way, they can afford to pay for it t'other way. Miss Liddy's schemes is all for the showin' off of the swells and the rich folks. I reckon that, with her, hit'll end in talk, anyhow hit always does."
When in the evening Mandy came for Johnnie, she found the new mill hand white about the mouth with exhaustion, heavy-eyed, choking, and ready to weep. "Uh-huh," said the Meacham woman, "I know just how you feel. They all look that-a-way the first day or two then after that they look worse." Nervelessly Johnnie found her way downstairs in the stream of tired girls and women.
Two months before, on the Fourth of July, they had been partners in the winning team; but now Meacham had taken on with a Cornishman from Miami and they counted the money as good as won. "What are you doing here?" demanded the Slogger insolently, "do you think you're going to compete?"
He was a very small man with a very high stock and spreading collar, a thin face, and large wide eyes. He kept his chin down in his collar, but spoke at the ceiling like one blind, though his eyes were sharp enough on occasion. His name was Meacham. "It is meet there shall be time for sorrow and repentance," he said.

Meacham wrote with the view of justifying all that Meacham did and said. It was, in fact, written in self defense. Another, by one "Captain Drehan," who claimed to have been "Chief of Scouts." The gallant Captain was simply a monumental romancer. No such man served at any time during the war. Donald McKay was chief of scouts, and the exploits of Drehan existed only in his own imagination.
He had no recollection of even drawing his gun, to say nothing of striking at Meacham; and yet Chatwourth and his gang would swear him into prison if something was not done to stop them. They had come before the magistrate all agreeing to the same story that Denver had picked a fight with his old enemy, Meacham, and struck him over the head with his six-shooter.
The little wizened Elder Meacham said: "The flute, friend is it here?" "I have it here," David answered. "Let us have music, then." "To what end?" interjected the shrill Elder. "He hath averred he can play," drily replied the other. "Let us judge whether vanity breeds untruth in him."
