The Brussels Post, 1950-5-31, Page 6*ITS rrFRAGRANCE 15 SEALED ON VACUUM Riders for the Hoot -Owl Pool by G. IL SHARP CHAPTER THREE (Continued From Last \\reek' Eyes narrowed, he looked at it' all. Then he set about cleaning up the place. He would have to .make a trip to town for grub and bedding. He was in the middle of his house, cleaning, when he heard a wagon coining. He stepped to the doorway, a carbine iii his hands. Then he recognized the man driving the team. It was Tex. "I got word that somebody had kind of messed up your place, Webb, so I figured 1'd come over." In the wagon was a month's sup- ply of grub. a bottle of whisky and a bedroll, "The bed is one that a feller left at my place and never came back for. One of the Jones boys that had bad luck along the trail. You kin pay back the grub when you git around to it." Tex put up his team and helped Webb clean up things. He did not say how he happened to learn that somebody had violated that range code which says that a man is lower than a snake who will abuse the privilege of an unlocked door. Webb did not ask, Ter spent the night with Web;m and they sat up until late, smoking and talking. After breakfast, Tex pulled out for home. It was when Webb saddled up and rode around his place that he discovered what other damage had been done. His fence around the hay mea- dow had been cut. His alfalfa crop was tromped down, two haystacks torn up and ruined by the rain, his few head of horses, about 15 head, were missing. Save for the horse he rode, he was afoot. He would be forced to sell part of his cattle or buy feed to replace the hay that had been wantonly destroyed. He sat his hors e staring rm at the le broken fence and the ruined hay crop. Not a pleasant homecoming. He knew that more than a few of the ranchers in the country con- sidered him guilty of gob Ander- son's death. .LQun.r. �+k3C¢3 Doilic- Gl.r rtul lace made 1 No 50 cotton.

He thought over the proposition Tex had made to hint the night before as they sat smoking in the cabin. Webb had turned it down. Now he wondered if he hadn't been too hasty. Ab Abbot was going after Webb Winters. Webb no longer belonged to the Scissor -Bill. Pool. What chance had he, lone - handed, against the Triangle outfit? He was staring with brooding eyes at the broken fence when Joe Blake rode up. "Damnation. Webb, wise done this?" "Not latowin'," (Webb replied, "I couldn't say." "They shore tore things up. What'll you do about hay this winter?" "As the sayin' goes, I'll do like they do over the river. Do without," "Shore tough, Webb," "It could be worse, I reckon." Webb's voice was quiet. There was an awkward silence. Webb hardly seemed aware of the other man's presence. He kept looking at his broken fence, think- ing of the proposition Tex had. of- fered. "I rode over, Webb, to tell you how ornery I feel about what that lawyer drug outa me on the witness stand. Looked like I was tryin' to send you to the pen." "Did it?" Webb kept looking at the tangled barb wire. "I don't want you to pack no grudge again' me, Webb." "Let 'er go as she lays," returned Webb. "The Pool wagon starts next week," Joe Blake went on. "Are you ridin' with us?" "I quit the Scissor -Bill Pool the night I got accused of killin' Bob Anderson. I'm done with the lay- out for keeps." "Howl! you git your cattle g atlt• eyed?" "I'll do my own worryin' about that." "No need to take it thatatvay. Me and my omen will rep for you. Glad to do it" "I'm gatherin' my own stuff, Blake. I don't want help from the Scissor -Bill Pool in any shape, form or manner. Tell 'ern that when you meet tonight." There was another silence. The two men looked hard at each other, "I'll tell 'ens," said Joe Blake. "I got to be ridin' along. Some of my horses got scattered while I was in town, subpoenaed for the trial." "Charge it to profit and loss, Blake, So -long." Webb rode away. inc Blake's black eyes followed Isint. Then Blake rode off, a faint, twisted grin on his thin-lipped mouth, The ex. pression on his face was not very pleasant, a e Sheriff i-Iank Roberta pulled on his chaps and twisted a cigarette into shape. Ms wife poured him a last cup of black coffee, regular round -up coffee, strong enough to satisfy any man. He buckled on Isis cartridge belt and slid his old .45 into its holster.

One of the finest women ever put on this earth. She is kind and good, sweet and intelligent and a w o 11 derful ltonaelteeper, too, Attractive and delightful! We do every- thing together, and since our marriage three years ago, she has become dearer and dearer to tae. "I was married before—to a wom- an who was just the opposite. She was lazy, unclean, nagging and, above all, unfaithful, She has mar- ried again, too. She visits here fre- quently. "Acne Hirst, my own mother brings her to her hone, takes her around as though she were still my wife. I learn that my mother is encouraging her to believe we may get together again! My mother has pulled some of the lowest tricks imaginable, Yet, while we were married, these two heartily disliked each other! "What now? "It is a terrible thing to say, but 1 am growing to dislike my mother more every day. "My wife sees and knows all this, but never complains. We hardly ever go home any more, because 1 can't stand this deceitful Luing my mother is doing—and my wife trust- ing her so.

With all this heart -breaking news of floods in the West and fires in Quebec it would seem that in On- tariowe have little to grumble al'out—especially now that we have at last got some seeding done, Probably in some parts seeding has been completed but we are just nicely in the middle of it, On Sat- urdssv we had to quit because of strong gales—no sense in spending $200 on clover seed and then have the wind blow it over to the next ft,rin as you try to sow it. Today is will have a better chance as there is only a slight breeze. But now we have a new worry. Last night there it as "a black frost" and Partner is afraid it may have Rifled the grass jest starting to grow in the pasture fields. If so it will make it bad for farmers who are short of hay and are just waiting for the grass to grow and the weather to norm ftp so they can turn their cattle out on pasture. We are lucky—we still have enough fray in the barn to last until June 1, if necessary. But believe me, the cattle won't think much of that June 1 idea! The other day, when they were out to water, they discovered to their joy that the gate to the back garden had not been properly fastened. One young heifer Promptly finished the job and when I looked out of the window all the cows were happily munching away at the succulent green grass as if they hadn't a minute to lose. Aa indeed they hadn't as I was soon an my way to call Partner, them be- tween us, and Tippy, the cows' ill- gotten gain was cut short— and Quickly, But the mischief was done. Now every time the cows are let out they crowd around and bawl in disappointed protest at finding the gate securely fastened -and with a chain around for extra protection. Well, last week I did a bit of gad- ding. Tuesday I went to Toronto especially, to shop. I was planning to attend a Women's Institute affair at Guelph on the Friday and of course, I hadn't a thing to wear! So I shopped, and I shopped—and how I loathe shopping—and al- though I knew exactly what I !want- ed I couldn't find it, nor could I find anyone to wait on me half the time until I approached a floor manager and got a little action that way. Finally at the end of anything but a perfect day I came home with only one purchase—a pair rf crepe- snicd canvas shoes! Carate Eriday and I set out for Guelph in a chess that was too thin: a coat that has long since forgotten when it was ecu', and my old black felt hat. But somehow, old clothes didn't seem to matter once we got there. We? Oh yes, the June Bug took along other 1','.i, members too— and she really buzzed along the road very nicely, We arrived in good time and were rewarded for our trip by hearing Mrs. Raymond Sayre, Iutcrnationat President of the Associated Country Women of the World, Mrs, Sayre is the type of persoe who speaks from the heart —and to the heart There were no frills to her address—she gust made you feel she was an ordinary farm woman like most of us in her aud- ience—knowing and understanding rntr problems, and yet making us realise the power that women have -and particularly farm women, to GLASSES on 30 DAY TRIAL!.

Watch for an account of her address in your farm papers. 1 cannot attempt to do justice to it in this column. One thing I must mention . . . Mrs. Sayre quoted the answer given by a Jewish American scientist to souteoue who said to him—"I sup- pose atomic power is now the great- est power in the world. Isn't that so?" "1so," answered the scientist, "there is one power greater yet— the power of Almighty God." That is something we are inclin- ed to forget in this materialistic and scientific age, don't you think? Yet we should remember it to our com- fort if we are inclined to dwell fearfully on the devasting power of atomic force. After all, the cleverest amen of our day and age are still only puppets when a Higher Power tacks over. We have proof of that in the swirling waters of the Red River flood. Sandbags can lessen the damage but only the subsiding of the waters can bring real relief to the flooded areas. Do you know another thing that struck me quite forcibly at the Guelph Conference—the astonish- ing number of grey headed women! Fifty years ago most of them would have beets wearing lace caps and staying home with their grand- children. But on Friday, there they were, well over a thousand strong. And they were smart! Most of them had evidently had better luck shop- ping titan I had, My friends and I sat in the balcony, and looking down we could almost count the brown -haired heads among the grey and white. Another thing I like about that kind of outing—so often kind- hearted souls conte up to me and say—"You're Mrs. Clarke, aren't you? We always read and enjoy your column." Often they are strangers to me—how they recog- nize me, I don't now—but it always gives me a sort of lift to meet any of you people who put up with my tneanderings week by week, and I hope you will always come and say "Hullo" whenever you and I happen to be in the same place at the sante time.

"But think," persisted the youth, "]tow silly you'd look trying to ride a cow down to the village." "Maybe so," Josiah admitted, "but 1 would loolc a heap more foolish tryin' to milk one of your motor bikes." Here it is 1 The Best Paint Value In Canada Since 1939 Home Paint Co.
