And when the morning came Williamson and McKenna and Rath had left this vale of tears and Mac Strann was back on his mountain.

He was not even arrested.

For there was a devilish cunning about the fellow and he made his victims, without exception, attack him first; then he destroyed them, suddenly and surely, and retreated to his lair.

Things like this happened once or twice and then the men of the Three B's understood that it was not wise to lay plots for Jerry Strann.

They accepted him, as I have said before, as men accept the wrath of God.
Let it not be thought that Jerry Strann was a solitary like his brother.
When he went out for a frolic the young men of the community gathered around him, for Jerry paid all scores and the red-eye flowed in his path like wine before the coming of Bacchus; where Jerry went there was never a dull moment, and young men love action.
