Miller learns that Sykes made a death threat against him - to reach up and grab Miller if Miller ever ventured near his grave. To prove to themselves that Miller isn't the coward they suspect, they bet Miller that he doesn't have the fortitude to go to Sykes' grave. Determined to win the bet, Miller goes to the grave at night and sticks his knife in the dirt to prove he had been there.

When he rises to leave, he can't stand up - it's like something is holding him down. The next day some people find Miller dead on top of the grave; his knife stuck through his coat into the ground.
