Ab Abbot jerked him into the room, Chino shot and barred the heavy door. Webb darted for the back door. It was unlocked and he slipped into time kitchen, and then into the room used by the Chinese cook. It- was dark in there and the darkness was sticky with the odor of opium. He had made it just in time, for he could now hear Chino there in the kitchen, busy with his pots and pans. Crouched there in time darkness, his gun in his hand, Webb waited. Chino would be coming into that cubbyhole of a room soon. Then Webb stiffened, There, in that black room that smelled of opium, he heard the labored breath- ing of a man. He was not alone. Crouched, taus. he waited. From the kitchen casae the rattle of pots .and pans, the sing -song whine of -the hatchet man as he went about his work, The breathing of the other occu- pant of the black room became heavier, slower, more labored. doAW e, d9' 4ik Dres, up your newest linens with these!

Webb, his gun ready, worked his way toward the sound. Now he was within a foot of the sound. His left hand shot out in a blind movement. Its palm struck a face. It was a face wrapped partly in cloth. The man was lying on a small cot, on his back. A few groping movements told Webb that the man was gagged, bound hand and foot. There was the odor of something that was sweetish, nau- seating. Webb's knife cut away the cloth and ropes. He was giving himself one guess now. Judge?" he whispered. "That you, Judge?" "I . yes. Webb, thank God you're here. Mae is in the house. I got her into this because she wanted to clear your name. She went out tonight with Abbot. She was supposed to come back after she'd gotten out of him the in- formation I wanted. She didn't come back. I came here. Abbot and that damned Chinese knocked me out. Mae is-" Webb's hand closed over Judge Antler's mouth. He had heard the doorknob turn. Now, outlined in the kitchen light, stood Chino, a butcher knife in his hand, The leathery Chinaman stood there, slanted eyes blinking, his wiry form alert, ready to bring the knife into sudden action. * * Crouched in the darkness, Webb sprang, hurling his weight at the tong killer. The whetted knife cut and slashed at him, ripping his shirt, striking again and again at his throat. The Chinaman moved with the swiftness of a cat. his knife flashing wickedly. Then Webb's gun barrel sent him in a heap on the kitchen floor. Webb \\'inters stood over him. Webb's shirt had been ripped. His neck and face and chest were red with blood. He dragged the limp form of Chino into the small bed- room and tied bins hand and foot, then gagged him. Judge Anders had dropped back on the cot again, unconscious. Welsh felt dizzy, a little sick. He heard a door slam, then the crash of broken glass. With Isis gun cocked, he made for the front of the house. No lights burned now, save for that light in the kitchgn. The big living room was dark. There was the odor of whiskey and tobacco smoke. Now, from outside, shod hoofs pounded. Webb jerked open the front door. It was dant. The hoofbeats grew dimmer. [inside down to prevent peeking. A Blow To Others--Ten-year-old John liarjanslcy and Janice !,;,tailors. age 13. dealt a blow to other youngsters wth these king and queen -sized bubbleguin masterpieces as they blew their ;ray to the tale of. Rubhegutn's royal monarchs in Frankfurt, Germany competition here. A hasty', despertte search of the house proved fruitless. Ab Abbot and Joe Blake were gone. There was no trace of Mae, but one of the bedroom windows was broken and her hat was 011 the floor, Webb carried the unconscious Judge Anders out of the house. It was some distance to the judge's cabin but he made it ,in a few minutes, 'Then Ise bit a run for the sheriff's home. Hank Roberts was not home. No- body rime to the door when Webb pounded on it. Back up the street, running, he made a ghastly looking figure with his blood smeared face and clothes. The Karn snail gasped at hint as he saddled his horse. "What's gone wrong, Webb?" "Plenty. Locate the doctor and tell- (tint to get over to judge An- ders' calm. Find Hank Roberts and tell hint I'm headed for the Tri- angle ranch to kill Ab Aboot and Joe Blake!" He was in the saddle and gone. He swung his horse 'through the pines to Mae's cabin. It was locked, dark. Then he rode at a run, pull- ing up at the restaurant. The cook stared at him, wide-eyed, So did Tex and another Hoot -Owl Pool man. Tex slid off Isis stool. "Who carved you up, Webb?" "Abbot's hatchet man. I'm goin' after Abbot and Joe Blake, They killed Ed Young and Bob Ander- son. I'm goin' after 'em." "You'll need company," said Tex. "But first, you need a doctor." "To ]tell with a doctor -Abbot's got Mael". Tex hitched up his gunbelt. He turned to the cowboy with him. "Tell the boys to foller us. Make for Blake's and the Triangle, Conte on, Webb." The two men left town, riding hard. Had they stopped at the doctor's house they would have found Hank Roberts, his wife, and Mae. The doctor was attending to some cuts on Mae's hands and arms, She was a little hysterical.

P C `deA This has been one a eek -end without any complaints about it be- ing too cool. Far from b. Such heat ... so much humidity -and 1 wanted to get a lot of work done during the last few days. You see, Lob was away for a long week -end -and it looked like a good chance to get a bit of painting done in the kitchen -a good chance because ex- perience has taught me that men and wet paint are better kept apart. but how could anyone paint with thunderstorms rolling up every hour or so, and the humidity so high it would have been like painting with a damp paint brush? So I left the paint job alone and concen- trated on helping Partner with the chores and getting a bit of writing date in between times. Actually, 1 enjoy that job -the chores, I mean. I like going down to the barn and being among the cows and calves again. Giving the calves their morning and evening feed scents to turn back the clock about 20 years. Naturally, that was always my particular job until Daughter was old enough to take over. Many things have changed in our barn since then, but cows and calves are much the same as they always were, Cows still step around at milking time and if they catch a person off guard, they can still switch their tails across the eyes of the unwary. Calves still bawl lustily as soon as mincing begins and theft when you take them fresh, warns milk, what do they du? They Inomptly bunt the pails and do their best to drown the one who feeds them. But not quite . . if you have once had dealings with calves you never quite; forget the antics they can indulge in. Our twin heifer calves are doing fee -they really should have differ- ent color ribbon bows mound their necks, so we could tell them apart, Not that it really matters, except that when I feed them, I naturally have two pails and before I can 5101i !hent, there are often two heads in one pail and none in the other. Getting them sorted out and decid- ing which one had its head in first and therefore had the most to drink is little short of a Chinese l.uzzle, Now that Inc have a milking ma - thine, milking isn't the chore it used to be -for which I am very thankful, especially if Partner has it to do alone -which isn't very • often. But even a milking machine isn't infallible. Things can happen to it , . . or the power go off .. . and there you are, back to time "good old clays." With storms all around. us. I was thankful each time we got through milking without s power failure. We did not think of any other trouble, therefore it was quite a shock Saturday night when the mincer suddenly petered out -fortu- nately there were only two cows that hadn't been milked. We sent for ,our "trouble man," who found the pulsator was at fault. He soon had things fixed up so we were able to carry on next morning. But why did it have to happen with Bob away ... and just at a time when it was so hot? But should we grumble . , . not really -trot when we have had such a wonderful rain, It will be so good for the wheat and pastures to say nothing of the spring crop and gardens, Actually, the last two days, it has been almost pos- sible to watch the oats and barley rote, o h Now the heat grow, seems to be lessening and it is' raining again, A quiet, gentle rain. That, of course, is fortunate for fanners with hay still out in the field. But that's the way it goes -one man's meat is so orten another's poison. But, oh dear, was there ever a time when mosquitoes were so bad? I have bites and bumps all over the place -even on my !mead. Why I am more allergic to mosquito bites than some people I have never yet found out. They definitely have a way of spoiling summer evenings for me. I love to get outside and watch the birds, but how can any- one nyone enjoy bird -watching with a mosquito making a meal off one's neck or ankle? In the event of a bacteria war, mosquitoes would sure spread the germs around. And speaking of war, brings us around to the disquieting news that reached us last night ... war in Korea.. How strange it is that while the threat and talk of war may go on for months, or even years, whenever and wherever it does start, it always comes as a shock and a surprise. It is some- thing we all fear and yet cannot believe will actually happen. Per- haps if the problems of peace were solved more quickly, new wars would not develop so readily.

RUTH, A SYMBOL OF FAMILY LOYALTY Ruth 1:8, 14-22. Golden Text: And Ruth said, In - treat me not to leave thee, or to re- turn from following after Ihee: for whither thou goest.

At the conclusion of a reading at a literary club in Paris the group were hearty in their applause. One exclaimed, "Where did you get that?" "Why," replied the reader, "That was written 2,700 years be- fore Columbus discovered America." It was the beautiful story of Ruth Naomi with her husband and two sons had fled from Judah to Moab in time of famine. The sons married two maidens of Moab, Ornah and Ruth. But soon the three amen died, and Naomi, thus bereft, prepared to return to Judah. She advised her daughters-in-law to return to their mothers. After some tears Orpalt kissed Naomi and did as was sug- gested. But not so with Ruth. She made the notable choice as given in the memory verse. It was not just Naomi, but Naomi's God, that at- tracted her. Thus this maiden turned from time heathen gods of her child- hood and youth. Ifers is one of the greatest choices recorded in the Scriptures, God honored her for her decision, She became the great- grandmother of David, and hence one of the ancestors of Jesus, the Messiah. Thus a woman, delivered from heathendom, helped to form tie royal line leading to Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Many are the quips made con- cerning soothers -in-law. But Naomi was one who faithfully represented her God and her faith to her daugh- ters-in-law. Ruth was faithful to the fancily into which she married. tut the influence of Naomi played a major part in moulding Ruth's life, thus enabling her to make a noble decision. Many are the wreckages of fam- ilies today, One magistrate recently slated that most of the cares that appeared before him in the family court were the result of drink, The prospect of clearing the country of intoxicating beverages is not pro- mising at present. But individual boys and girls, nmcn and women, can be freed from its servitude by tine grace of God. Time revival of spiri- tual life in time nation is our great- est !tope.
