Robbery Under Arms

CHAPTER 10
13/22

They weren't afraid.

There were two or three of them pretty smart with their hands, and not likely to take much from anybody.

But Jim was a heavy weight and could hit like a horse kicking; so they thought it wasn't good enough, and left him alone.
Next day Mr.Falkland came down and wanted to give Jim a cheque for a hundred; but he wouldn't hear of so much as a note.

Then he said he'd give him a billet on the run--make him under overseer; after a bit buy a farm for him and stock it.

No! Jim wouldn't touch nothing or take a billet on the place.
