The man's look became dogged, "I'ro Ben Colton. If It'll do ye any good to know,"
•I thought I had seen you some¬ where before," said Brant, contemptu¬ ously, and then swept his glance about tbe circle. "A nice leader of vigilantes you are, a fine representa¬ tive of law and order, a lovely speci¬ men of the free - bom American cltlsen! Men, do you happen to know what sort of a cur you are fol¬ lowing in this affair?" "Oh, Ben's all rigbt." "What ye got against him, young feller?"
"Just this," and Brant squarely fronted tbe man, his voice ringing like steel. "I've seen mobs before to-day, and Tve dealt with them, I'm not afraid of you or ' your whole outfit, and I've got fighting men to back me up. I never yet saw any mob which wasn't led and incited by some cow¬ ardly, revengeful rascal. Honest men get mixed up In such affairs, but they are invariably inflamed by some low- down sneak with aa az to grind. I confess I don't know all about this Colton, bnt I know enough to say ba la an army deserter, a liar, a dive- keeper, a gambler, and, to my certain j^owleNdge, tbe dtfect cause ot tbe death of three men, one a soldier ot my troop. Now Isn't hs a sweet specl- ... Ben to lead In the avenging of a sup- K. posed crime?" y;: 'Whatever else Colton might have t'''. failed In, be was a man of action. Like ' ^ aflash bis gan flew to the level, but 1^; was InsUntly knocked aside by tbe ^ arinled old miner atanding next him. r,i "None o' that, Ben," he growled. ' ' . warnlngly. '1 don't never pay to ,,i.aboot holes la Uncle Baas."
Brant smiled. He w^a not tbere fust then to light, but to secure delay aatU bis own men conld arrive, and to turn aside the fierce mob spirit if ¦ach a result was fonad possible.
"I really would eajoy aecommodat lac yon, Colton," he aaid, eoolly, feel. lac much more at eaae, "but I never tght personal battles with snch fel¬ lows aa yoo.
