CHAPTER SIX
(Continued from last week)
!Cow the Hoot -Owl Pool men
:arse seith a rush, quitting their
running horses. Hank Roberts
shinnied the door shut and stood
with his back against it, his gun
in his hand. His deep, unhurried
vice halted the men.
"Easy, hoys, t'm Sherifff Hank
ltc.berts. 'There's a hell of a fight
goin' on inside, but there ain't a
chance for any man here to help.
I'm deputizin' every man of you,
r;gardless. Round up them Tri-
angle snakes and hold 'em in the
bunkhouse. Webb and Tex Jones
is inside attettdhi to a little per-
sonal matter. I'm holdin' this door.
red one of you men guard the back
doer. Watch the windows. I got
warrants for the arrest of Ab Abbot
and Joe Blake and for every Tri-
angle cowboy. Help me serve 'east
legal and proper. Git at. it, coW-
hoys,"
From out there in the darkness
'e voice spoke in a salt Texas drawl.
"And now I'm a deputy! I'll be
.damned Sheriff, the drinks is on
me. Let's go, you Hoot -Owl depu-
ties:"
Perhaps that was a chuckle that
escaped from the sheriff's bandaged
lips. The man who had spoken was
giving quick. efficient orders.
"Take to 'em cowboys. Round
up them Triangle things and cor-
ral 'em. Were a-workin' for the law
and workin' hard!"
From inside the house Hank
Roberts could hear Webb Winter's
t nice.
"_Alt right, Teri Are yuh alt
right?"
"All. . all right, pardner. I
done -paid off Ed's debt, How
you fixed?"
"Got the big hunk of meat hog-
tied and I'm settin' on his belly.
f•Iurt any?"
But Tex's voice did not answer,
Sheriff Hank Roberts shoved open
Nue door.
"Find Mae, Hank, Find her!"
"\tae's safe, son."
"It's Hank, Webb. ['m strikin'

a light."
Then the match in the slteriff's
hand flared. Its flame lighted a
spare lamp and there, in the yellow
light Sheriff Hank Roberts looked
at the wrecked room and the men
who. had wrecked it.
Joe Blake lay sprawled on his
face, dead. Beside him lay the lanky
Texan, a gun in his hand. He was
breathing heavily and blood oozed
from a bullet hole in his side.
On the floor lay Ab Abbot, sense-
less. an ugly welt over one eye.
Webb Winters, blood -smeared, sat
on the heavy paunch of the un-
conscious cattleman.
"He's yourn, Hank," said Webb.
Then handcuffs snapped on
Abbot's thick wrists. Webb was
bending over Tex. The Texan's
eyes opened, A slow grin spread
across his scarred face.
"I'm all right, pardner. Hell, this
ain't nothin'I Just a scratch. I paid
Ed Young's debt. When the work
is done this fall I'll be lightin' out
for Texas where Ed's sister is
waitin' for me. Can you loan me
the use of the makin's?"
Judge Anders was wearing a new
black broadcloth suit. He sat there
in his chair, grave, white-haired,
sober. He was once more a judge.
Yesterday he had sentenced Ab
Abbot and Chino to prison for life.
But today he was serving in a
different capacity.
The courtroom was packed with
men, women, children. There were
ranohers and their wives, ranchers
who represented the Scissor -Bill
Pool. At the rear of the courtroom
were cowboys who had ridden with
the Hoot -Owl Pool, Tex Jones
looked uneasy as he stood there,
next to Webb Winters. Webb,
holding the hand of Kathleen Mav-
ourneen Murphy. Sheriff Hank
Roberts stood beside her, his
leathery face wrinkled with a faint
grin.
"And so," finished Judge Anders,
"I pronounce, you man and wife."
Gravely his eyes bright with un-
shed tears, Judge Anders kissed
the bride. Then he gripped the hand
of the new owner of -the Triangle.
Sheriff Hank Roberts was next to
kiss the bride.
"And now," he said, "we'll head
for the schoolhouse. And if them
fiddlers don't play till sun -up to-
morrow, we'll hang 'em. And you
Hoot -Owl Pool men, listen. The
town is yourn. Take care of it.
Judge, lead the way!"
THE END
Her System
A salesman was trying to sell
the young wife an egg timer.
"Your husband's eggs will be
just right if you use this," he as-
sured her.
"But I don't need it," she an-
swered, brightly. "Jack tikes his
eggs the way I do them. I just look
through the window at the traffic
lights and give them three reds and
two greens."
Mend. That Finery
With Starch
,1 little starch, I have found, is
a valuable aid to housekeeping. lts
usefulness continues fat' beyond the
Monday wash, says n writer in
The Christian Science Monitor,
Years ago a laundress, who was
born a slave in the deep South,
taught ane to use it for mending,
Site said when she was a small
child her "folks" taught lier to
mend the lace curtains with it,
This is her method, When the
curtains begin to break, lay a patch
of matching lace, or net, on the
back. See that all the edges are
smooth, fitted in place, and free of
ravelings. or threads, then sponge
carefully with a heavy starch solu-
tion and iron dry.
The patches will stay until the
next laundering and can be renewed
again and again. Carefully handled
lace curtains can be kept for years
and the mending is almost invis-
ible, where sewing would be notice-
able or mar the pattern. This meth-
od works equally well for other
purposes when they do not receive
hard wear.
Silk chiffon, when it gets a wilted
look, can be made soft and as
lovely as new by adding about a
tablespoon full of liquid starch
to each quart of rinse water. Ex-
perimenting with a small piece of
the material helps in getting the
desired effect. Com starch can be
substituted for laundry starch and
gives a nice dressing to delicate
fabrics.
One of my most rewarding ven-
tures with starch was with an or-
gandy dress.' I was puzzled how
to keep that great bouffant skirt
from drying out too fast. Then I
remembered a woman I knew in
China, Mama San, who used to
iron all the fancily wash with the
aid of a cloth and a pan of water,
sponging and ironing, sponging and
ironing. Why not for my organdy
too? And why not add starch. to
the water? The result was a dress
as smooth as cream.
1 have used starch ever since
in pressing washable dresses be-
tween launderings. They stay new
looking, refreshed, and crisp more
than twice as long.
For centuries the Chinese have
used starch to glue fabrics together
instead of sewing them, especially
the linings of their embroideries.
It is such -a simple method, lasts
for years, can be easily renewed,
and will often stand our dry clean-
ing,

CHRONICLES

vvnnd.ctti-sr D Clarke
Sane thinking is just about im-
possible this week end - or even
thinking! You, see we are suffering
from an influx of the younger
generation -and when six young
people get .together in one house
there is never a dull moment, es-
pecially when two of them are new-
ly engaged and become the target
of all the ribbing the other four
can think up. Added to that another
of time party is celebrating a birth-
day so there had to be a "suitable"
present "appropriately" wrapped.
So there you have it, friends, and
if anything I say appears to be
without rhyme or reason you will
know who is responsible. Right at
this moment there is a lull in activi-
ties around the•house as the young
folk have, I believe, departed in
quest of a swim. Partner is having
his forty winks so it seemed like a
good time to at least get this col-
umn started.
This is one of the few nice week-
ends we have had this summer -
neither too ?not nor too cool, and
a nice breeze blowing. May it so
continue for there is work aplenty
that will be helped or hindered ac-
cording to the whim of the weather.
The wheat is ripening fast and will
possibly be ready to cut sometime
this week. So we are back again
to that perennial worry . . fear
that hail, wind or heavy rain will
knock it flat before the binder gets
into it. Last Thursday, for instance,
in some districts there was a short,
sharp storm and wheat was flatten-
ed here and there. No extensive
damage but enough black sky to
create that same fear as We watch-
ed the black ominous clouds roll
up , and then came that spirit
of thankfulness after the storm
when we found the wheat had not
been harmed and the spring crop
_ still bobbed and billowed in airy
waves with the decreasing winds.
It was well the storm did die
down because I had arranged to
meet my sister-in-law at Broute as
she wanted me to go with her to
hunt up an artist in that district
who specializes in textile printing.
It was fine when I left hone but
as I waited for the bus another
storm blew up -the sky got darker
every uminute. Finally down came
the rain. All I could do -was sit
in the car hoping the wind would
not get strong enough to carry us
both away. It was an awful storm
-hail, rain, thunder and lightning.
. Probably I have seen worse storms
but never have I been out in one
quite so bad, Eventually it blew
over and my sister-in-law and I set
out to find Mrs, Elizabeth Hocy.
And wli an interesting visit that
was! Mrs. Hoey specializes in hand -
blocked drapes, which she designs,
dyes and prints herself. Her work
is exquisite in both colour and de-
sign, There was a.very good write-
up in the Family Herald last spring
featuring her work -no doubt many
of you read it. But reading about
it is one thing and seeing is an-
other, Mrs, Hoey is very young to
have accomplished so much in such
a short time -and always there are
new designs in the making, Some
smothers find it hard with young -
e
stens around to keep up with even
ordinary work - but Mrs. Hoey
does all this and her art work too.
She has two lively, adorable little
girls, two and four years olci---
just another work of art you night
say -although 1 imagine her hus-
band contributed his share just as
he also helps his wife with her
block printing during the week-
ends,
Maybe not many of us could af-
ford drapes such as Mrs. Hoey
makes -even though her charge is
actually very reasonable. However,
if you really want something orig-
inal and have difficulty in finding
drapes that are just right for your
living room Mrs. Hoey has the
answer, Ycs, I mean that, because
you just choose any design she has
on hand and she will make it up
in any colour scheme you lase,.
Or for alt additional charge she
will even make you an exclusive
design featuring anything you have
in llmind. If you arc musically in-
clined theta Mrs. Hoey could design
your drapes with fiddles and bows,
music scores or 'cellos. She might
even throw in a few grand pianos
for good measure and the effect
would still be artistic. Or you may
be fond of poetry and would like
The Song My Paddle Sings inter-
preted in your drapes and slip-
covers. Then Elizabeth Hoey would
be the girl to do it ... and that.
theme would please her because she
likes to specialize in art designs that
are exclusively Canadian. And for ,
wedding presents that are different
Mrs. Hoey has place mats in seta
of four, or two, with table napkins
to match. They wouldn't do for me
because I' would be inclined to
shove my plate to one side rather
than, have the place mat hidden
from view.
This, of course, isn't meant to be
"sales talk." I just wanted to bring
to your attention one more Cana-
dian of whom we may well be
proud.
Mouse Convulsions
At the Roscoe - B. Jackson
Memorial Laboratory mice of a
special strain have been inbred be-
cause they go 111t0 convulsions
when a doorbell is rung. The nice
will make it possible to test effec-
tiveness and dosage of drugs that
niay be useful in treating epilepsy
and other brain and nervous sys-
tem disorders, A report on the pos-
sibility appears in Science.
The mice have been inbred for
more than fifty generations. When
exposed to the ringing of a door-
bell attached to a metal washtub in
which they are confined, 75 per
cent of the males and 65 per cent
of the females die of convulsions
resembling human epilepsy. Using
glumatic acid, which has given con-
tradictory results in treatment of
human "petit mal" and psycho-
motor epilepsy, Dr. Ginsburg
achieved a reduction of 26 per cent
in fatal seizures of the more sus-
ceptible male unite.

ARE WE CANADIANS THE
WORLD'S WORST CAR -DRIVE "S?
Canada is in the middle of the
grimmest chapter in the 1950 edi-
tion of; "Iligitway Homicide."
lt, l?egan July 1 with the holiday
weekend and goes through until
Labor Day. This 1s the period when
our highways are crowded and
death and injury ride with the care-
less, thoughtless, discourteous, the
stupid and those who are just un-
lucky -and all their unfortunate
victinns,
What 'will the pages of this grisly
chapter tell? Will it be as shocking
as lir( year:
- An estimated 2,200 killed (1,584
nn i! 41.
-50,0{10 injured and maimed
(25,101 its 1939).
- $50 millions in property dam-
age.
-28 accidents per 1,000 curs (162
in 1939).
- Slightly more than 10 persons
lulled for every million miles
travelled. .
This last item is tite real shocker.
It makes Canadians the world's
most dangerous drivers, not the
.Americans, as most people believe.
Their ratio of deaths was 7.7 in
1948.
This years grim statistics are
now in the making; in the screech
of skid'ding tires; the crunch of
totes of flying metal and glass com-
ing together; the long pitiful parade
tothe hospital operating room.
Chances are the 1950 toll will be
even greater than 1949. The re-
cord so far seems to indicate this,
Accidents in Ontario, for example,
are up 34 per cent over 1949 up to
time end of March. Fatalities were
lower in the first quarter but were
up substantially in May.
If these deathly statistics are too
impersonal to register, maybe you
can be impressed through your
pocketbook.
In these days of sudden highway
death, the wise motorist hap ade-
quate insurance. And insurance
rates go hand-in-hand with the fre-
quency and seriousness of accid-
ents.
Just a quick look shows what's
happened.
If you have a popular make car
and use it for pleasure, your bill
lot basic insurance this year will
read something like this:
$31.64 for public liability ($25,000-
$50,000 and property damage $2,000)
$39 for collision ($50 deductible)
$7 for heft.
$1.11 forfire passengerandthazard (its
case a passenger in your car is
hart)
The ,o:al: $88.85.
Ten years ago, relatively the
sante protection cost $48.90..
Here's a comparison showing the
increase percentagewise in each
category. Note the big advance in
collision rates.
1939 1950 Immense

dard cover) .... 517,70 228.09 1.08%

Core and Theft 4.66 7.00 63.54%
Total ort 21 100%1006.4% 22.4%
This increased cost reflects two
factors: more accidents and costlier
ones. Everything connected with
automobiles is higher; original price,
repairs, taking a dent out of a
crumpled fender; claims for personal
injury,
Take some basic costs:

Where it really hurts is compar-
ing these costs with 1939.
In that $50.41 to replace a bashed
in grill is $41.20 for the new part.

Deena and callouses.
The rest is for tour hours Tailor. The
1939 cost of 417.79 for the sant*
job included $13,70 for the new grill
and $4.09 for 1.9 hours labor.
Besides paying higher labor costs,
it's taking longer to get work done.
This is indicated by the increase
in time to replace the grill and also
a fender; from 3.6 hours in 1939
to 4.3 hours last year.
Overall, car repair costs are 65
per cent higher than they were in
1939,
But repair bills pre not the only
item that make accidents luot-e
costly,
The average claim for personal
injury ((and property damage) is
48 per cent higher. Thi; leans
higher doctor's fees, hospital costa,
the amount of pay lost by an auto
victim, All have risen through the
years.
Then, too, the number of claims
have jumped tremendously: around .
350 per cent over 1939 against an
increase of 200 per cent in the vol.-
sone
ol-sone of insurance busness.
And unless Canadian motorists
themselves do something about their
driving habits, most of these fig-
ures will keep rising.
