H, SHARP CHAPTER THREE (Continued Froin Last \Veek) The bedded herd was a huge, dim blot. The sound of deep 'breathing steers mixed with the distant yap- ping of a coyote. \Webb and Hank Roberts rode around in one direction, the two other riders going the other way. "We got 'em," Webb said in a quiet voice to the two men he met. And he toot the guard watch handed him. Out across the sleeping herd, a cowboy wasg s iu i ng a lonesome lulling song. There is an indefinable spell about night guard, It creeps into a cowboy's heart like a plaintive melody. It is on starry nights, when the herd is quiet, that the cowboy dreams as he rides, singing his song to his cattle. Always his song carries that note of lonesome- ness that is the cowboy's lot. These night hours are when he remem- bers bits of things, things that go to make a cowboy's life. He rides around at a swinging walk, eased in his saddle. He thinks, perhaps, of town and its brief pleasures at shipping time. He thinks of home. a home he left to drift along a lonesome trail. Past pleasures, past regrets. The stars overhead and a good horse between his legs. A sweetheart who waits for him. So he sings his song to his cattle. Old Hank Roberts had chosen his e hour for or talk. Wise in more than one way was that grizzled old sheriff of Rimroek. "If 1 cared a heap for a woman," he began, "I'd do all I could to make her happy. I wasn't more than about your age. Webb, when I met the girl 1 married. She was teachin' a little old cow -country school and boardin' with some ranch folks. I was workin' for the old Circle C at the foot of the Little Rockies.

Senil Order to F,ox 1, 123 Eigh- teenth Street, New Toronto, Ont. t i JE 23 - 1950 Diamond. I was on my way to the outfit, which was camped north of Milk River, hazin' along my string of ponies, when I stopped at this ranch for the night. "It was a Saturday night; no school of a Sunday. Now, my night horse was a plumb gentle, biscuit-eatin' feller. A. black -and - white paint horse called Blackfoot. I laid over and took her horseback ridin'. Monday morning' I rode on to where the Circle Diamond wagon was camped. But I was shy a night horse. Blackfoot stayed there at the ranch.When we V1 gotmarried m aed at the end of the round -up, the old gent at the Circle C give her that fat paint pony. Yep, we got mar- ried. I quit spendin' my money over the bar, quite gamblin'. "The old gent talked me into run- nin' for sheriff and I got elected. Settled down and stayed thataway. Yep, when a man cares about a woman, he's got to quit his fool cowboy ways and act like he was human. Take a young feller your age, for instance, with one of the finest and gamest little girls that ever lived, a -sarin' for him so much she can't sleep nights for wor- ryin' about him. If that feller was smart, he'd quit tryin' to go bronco. He'd quit herdin' with outlaws and he'd quit buskin' a losin' game. He'd sell out and marry that girl and take her to a new range and make a home for -her. He wouldn't go chargin' around all over the country packin' a gun and huntin° trouble. Webb Winters stared straight ahead when he answered the sher- iff. "You're talkin' through your hat, Hank. Talkin' loco. You don't savvy the layout. Mac don't care about me like that, Man, she was goin' to marry Bob Anderson. Bob just naturally worshipped her. He's kep' me awake many a night tellin' me how he was goin' to make their hone so that she'd be content to live on a ranch. Bob and me had planned on addin' a big room to his cabin. A big stone fireplace and some Injuu rugs and bear hides on the floor, Real dishes instead of the ones Ile had, "I helped him pick the furniture out of the catalogue. Fancy dishes, a whole set of 'em. Crockery and new cookin' hardware. A real stove. ' A sofa and easy chairs for the big room. A talkies' machine with a fancy horn. We put in half the nights last winter markin' out in the catalogue what he'd need. The catalogue and the list is in Bob's cabin right now, I never saw a man care for a woman like Bob Anderson cared for Mac. "Then the dammed skunks mur- dered him. Bob is dead. l'in goin' to live long enough to pay 'em off in their own kind of money-. Bob was my pardner." Webb Winters had spoken quiet- ly. Too quietly to suit old Hank Roberts, who knew how to read sten. He caught that note of final- ity and he knew that nothing he could say or do would alter Webb's plans. He made one last effort, however. "Webb, son, did yon ever ask Mae to marry you?" "No," But you thought a heap of her?" "So did Bob. Hank. lie just plumb worshipped Mae," "And you rode off and let Bob do his eourtin'. I don't reckon it ever struck you that it was you, not Bob Anderson, that she cared most for, 1 don't reckon it ever got through that thick skull of yours that she w'JIS ntarryin' flop because she figured that you'd never come around, courtin', "Webb, that girl is worryin' her heart out these days. She looks peaked and she cries when she's alone, Iter eyes give her away. Sha thought a heap of Bob Ander- son because he just sort of wor- shipped her. Bob got killed and she'll never quite git over it, be- cause he always treated her so great. But it was you she wanted to marry all the time.

Clet,t,l.e Since last week 1 have learnt a little more about painting and a lot more about birds. When I left you last week I was painting the hall and also watching three little robins in a nest over the front door. My, how those little birds grew! Ten days and they were all feath- ered out and getting ready to leave the nest. And by that time they had become nice looking wee things with bright speckled breasts. They kept Mother and Father Robin busy from ,awn to dark satisfying their hungry needs and the parents knew with unerr- ing instinct just what the little birds could digest. For the first few days they were fed tiny pity size worms and grubs, then, as the birds grew bigger Mr. and Mrs. Robin brought bigger and better worms, twirled around their beaks for convenience in carrying. After tier babies had been fed Mrs. Rob- in often got into the nest behind them, pecked away for a few min- utes and then fly off again. What is she doing, I wondered? To find out I watched more closely. Now what do you suppose was happening? 'Nell, believe it or not, Mrs. Robin was housekeeping! Her method was to hunt for the droppings of her offspring, then pick them up is her heak and fly away wall then!. 1f only chickens could be trained that way! Another thing 1 found out ... when little birds are feath- ered out Mrs. Robin leaves them to themselves all night. But conte the dawn, she is back again with an early breakfast. And indeed. these robins grew so fast there was no loan in the nest for mother any- way, When they were about eight days old the young robins began making chipping noises and some- times they would stand up in the nest and flap their sturdy little wings. One time one little fellow hopped on to the ledge, but soon got nervous and cuddled down in the nest again, That is, until today. Today was their big day ... and mine, too. The parent robins, hour after hour, flay around from tree to tree, and back and forth to the ledge near the nest, chipping, chipping, all the time—calling to their babies in bird language — ('once, it is time you left the nest. Spread your wings, little fledg- lings, Conte out here in the open —we will take care of you. We will show you where the best worms are found and the safest trees and bushes in which to hide until your wings are stronger." So one by one the little fledg- lings, chipping nervously, flew down to the nearest tree. When the first one made the grade the parent birds left the less venturesome ones still in their nest while they en- ticed the first adventurer away from the house—away from slinking cats and a playful pup, That done, they would return again and start chip- ping as vigorously as ever, The little birds that were left in the nest would answer shrilly its re - tern. It took suite a lot of coax- ing to get the last one to Leave but finally it took to its uncertain wings. Now they are all away; the cost•, rather shaggy nest is de- serted, and, believe it or not, I feel unite lonesome without my little birds. But then. I have also finished the lower, hall, so I wouldn't have had them constantly under observa- tion much longer anyway. Yes, soon I shall be starting on the upper hall—in England we used to call the upper hall "the landing" --if that is of any interest. How- ever, before I start out with the paint brush again there is a twa- wce!:s' wash that has to be at- tended to and other work to catch tot, on. I mentioned having learnt a little more about painting—that was in the mixing. For the floor of our hall I had chosen an enamel that called itself "leather brown."

I felt I couldn't live with that paint and like it: But what to da about it . , . the only other shade was dart: brown which I didn't want. Next morning I looiccd over my paint supply with a view to trying a mixture—maybe a bit of black would do the trick, Or this gray porch paint—what col- our would grey and brown pro- duce "Well, there's only one way to find out," said I to myself. So after stirring the quart of grey enamel I dumped half of it into my quart of leather brown. Result —a nice, soft shade of brown, about the colour of fumed oak. It is rather fun nixing colours, never being certain what the out- come will be. But halfway measures are no good—if you start mixing you have to mix enough to finis'! Your job—or put up with a patch work effect. �! — IINDAY SCHOOL ; By Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A., B.D. ;Malachi Pleads for \Vholcheartel Religion Malachi 2:10; 3:7-10; 4:5,6 Golden Text: Have we not all ane father? bath not one God cre- ated us? Why do we deal treacher- ously every man against his brother. by profaning the coven- ant of our fathers? Malachi 2:10, Malachi is the last of the Old Testament messengers. This lesson dealt with three of his most bo - portant themes. The first is divorce, He urges: "Take heed to your spirit, and let nate deal creacher-, ously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord. the God of Israel, sash that he hateth putting away." The Christian Victory magazine in a recent editorial. after calling at- tention to the fact that in our times "only live per cent of mar- riages remain love matchc gives the following essentials for suc- cessful married life: (I) Marital faithfulness. Adultery is the ones cause for divorce that Cod per- mits (Matt. 19:3-91. (21 The hus- band must subject itis wife and fancily (I Tim. 5:8). be unselfish and love his wife: the wife must faithfully keep house and "give none occasion for the adversary to speak reproachfully" (1 Tim 5:14) and she must submit to the headship of her husband (Eph. 5:21 23). (3) Both should submit to the Lordship of Christ (Ro. 12:11-21. (4) Mari- tal relationships nnist be maintain. ad, as the Scripture conu'.anrls in I Cor. 7:2-5; and children should be welcomed into the home (1 Tint. 5:14). Maiachi accuses Judah of robbing God hi tithes and offerings. The tithe was a tenth of the increase and was practised by Abraham and Iamb prior to the giving of the law. Today, while enormous and in- creasing sums are paid for liquor and tobacco, the church Struggles to suport its missionaries, hospitals and educational institutions. The challenge still holds, 'Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in !nine house, and prove the now here- with, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, anti pour yo0 put a bless- ing, that there shall not be roses enough to receive it." He closes by pointing to the Sun of right- cousnesa (the Messiah) who slm'I arise with healing in Iris wings.

HELP FOR WEAK EYES A device which will permit poor eyes to read ordinary newspapers, magazines and books is now in the final testing stage, This new in- strument known as" "projection p oyection magnifier," was developed at the Franklin Institute Laboratories for Research and Development. The projection magnifier weighs a little more than 17 pounds, measures 21 inches high, 14 inches wide and 27 inches deep and contains two 40 -watt bulbs, with a pair of 100 - watt bulbs as alternates. When a page is placed on a movable tray at the bottom and a lens. lowered against it, an illuminated magnifi- cation appears on a ground glass slanted' at the correct angle for a reader in a chair.
