But "Big Tim" Meehan, the lieutenant the Hall had detailed to destroy Wharton, had reported back that for their purpose his record was useless, that bribes and threats only flattered him, and that the traps set for him he had smilingly side-stepped.
And Jim Edwards muttered anxiously, as we skipped and side-stepped along with the fight, "That fellow may have a knife or a gun." "Not where he can draw," I said, "or he'd have used it before now." And Capehart sung out, "Sure. Leave 'em go. Worth'll fix him."
He threw away his science and his skill in order to destroy the man he hated. He rained blows on him fought him with head and knee and fist, was on top of him every moment, controlled by one dominating purpose to make that dancing figure take the dust.

With quick thought, he side-stepped. It gave him a brief respite.

Active as a wild cat, the Arizonan side-stepped, scored a left on the eye, ducked again, and fought back the furious attack. The gangman came out of the rally winded, perplexed, and disturbed. His cheek was bleeding, one eye was in distress, and he had hardly touched his agile opponent.
