At fourteen he was fierce and rebellious and down on the Juvenile Court records for truancy, petty trafficking in burned-out opium, vandalism, and gang vagrancy. In Hanscha's sober hours he was her despair, and she could be horrible in her anger, once the court reprimanding her and threatening to take Jason from her because of welts found on his back.
The man with red welts across his face was swearing that if he ever got a chance he would "put a rifle ball through Bully." The young man by the rock grinned and said: "That's just about as close as he would ever dare come to that fellow. Shoot him through the back at a half-mile range!" The bartender suddenly appeared to remember the travelers, and ran across the road.

McLean's mind traveled to the night, almost a year before, when he had engaged Freckles, a stranger. The Boss bent, covering the hurt arm with one hand and laying the other with a caress on the boy's forehead.

If I believed it I'd not send men like you, with their records written in welts on their backs, with any convoy, no matter how strict, on the long journey to Aquileia, on which you'd have countless opportunities of escape. I do not believe your tale.

"Where to?" asked Miss Terry, rising with an effort. The welts across her back were swollen and painful. "Deadwood is my destination. I can deviate my course, however, if it will accommodate you."
An' we had an orful good time till Gran came in, an' then we lit out, an' I brung her home. Now what you goin' to do about it?"
