CHAPTER FIVE
(Continued from last week)
Joe Blake stumbled inside. Ab
Abbot jerked hint into the room.
Chino shut and barred the heavy
door.
Webb darted for the back door.
It was unlocked and Ito slipped into
the 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 the 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, taut, he waited, From
the kitchen carte 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,
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
its cloth. The man was lying on a
small cot, on his hack, A few
groping movements told Webb that
the man was gagged, bound hand
Ind 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 wltisl,crcd. "That
you, Judge?"
"I . . yes. \Webli, thank God
you're here. Mac 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 conte 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. Mac is-"
Webb's hand closed over Judge
Ander'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 forth alert, ready to bring the
knife into sudden action.
Unside down to prevent peeking.
Crouched in the darkness, Webb
sprang, hurling his weight at the
tong killer,
The whetted knife cut and
slashed at hint, 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 hits in a heap on the
kitchen floc,,
Webb Winters 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 him hand and foot,
then gagged him.
judge Anders had dropped back
on the cot again, unconscious.
Webb felt dizzy, a little sick.
He heard a door slam, then the
crash of broken glass. With his
gun cocked, he made for the front
of the house, No lights burned
now. save for that light in the
kitchen. The big living room was
dark. There was the odor of
whiskey and tobacco smoke. Now,
front outside, shod hoofs pounded.
Webb jerked open the front door.
It was dark The hoofbeats grew
dimmer,
A hasty, desperate 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 on 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 he hit a run for the
sheriff's home.
Hank Roberts was not home. No-
body came to the door when Webb
pounded on it.
Back up the street, running, he
trade a ghastly looking figure with
his blood smeared face and clothes.
The barn man gasped at him as he
saddled his horse.
"What's gone wrong. Webb?"
"Plenty. Locate the doctor and
tell him to get over to Judge An-
ders' cabn, Find Hank Roberts and
tell him 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
mean. Tex slid off his stool.
"Who carved you up, Webb?"
"Abbot's hatchet man. I'ni goin'
after Abbot and Joe Blake. They
killed Ed Young and Bob Ander-
son, I'm goin' after 'emit."
"You'll need company," said Tex.
°But first, you need a doctor."
"To hell with a doctor -Abbot's
got ]Lae!"
Tex hitched up his guubelt. Ile
turned to the cowboy with him.
"Tell the boys to folter us. Make
for plaice's and the Triangle. Come
of, 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 of bfae's hands and
arms. She was a little hysterical.

Aud 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 15 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.
This has been one st eek -end
without any complaints about it be-
ing too cool, Far from ir. Such
1:eat , , so much humidity -and I
wanted to get a lot of work done
during the last few days. Yon see,
Bob was away for a long week -end
-and it looked like a good chance
to get a bit of painting clone 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 pain\t 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 of helping Partner with the
chores and getting a bit of writing
done in between tines.
Actually, I 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 seems 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 milking begins
and then when you take them fresh,
warm milk, what do they do? They
promptly bunt the pails and do their
best to drown the one who feeds
then. But not quite , , .`if you
have once had dealings with..catves
you never quite forget the antics
they can indulge in.
Our twin heifer calves are'doing
fire -they really should have differ-
ent color ribbon bows around 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
stop theme, 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 puzzle.
Now that we have a milking ma-
chine, 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 mincing machine
isn't infallible, Things can happen
to it ... or the power go off .. .
and there you are, back to the "good
old days," With storms all around
us. I was thankful each time we got
through milking without a power
failure. We did not think of any
other trouble, therefore it was quite
a shock Saturday night when the
milker suddenly petered out-fortu-
'lately there were only two cows
that Hadn't been milked. We sent

TO "MIXED UP":
You have made up your mind
to get married. That is that. Now
snake up that same mind to find
living quarters elsewhere, and not
settle in your father's house.
He is opposed to it, and that is
sufficient reason why he would
make it uncomfortable for yon.
From what you tell me, he would
not spare you in any way, and I'm
afraid he would not be too kind
to your new husband either. You
would be torn between the two,
and even more confused than you
are now.
If your mother's health grows
worse after you marry, you will
be called on to help out. (So, I
hope, will the other children,) Also,
your father's idea of renting the
apartment that he plans will bring
in more income, and then your
mother can hire someone.
Your father's attitude through
the years has been draining you of
normal self-confidence. He has even
made you afraid of marriage! Buf
now your mind is made up, go
ahead -and don't be afraid any
longer. Yon are marrying a fine,
responsible young man who loves
you dearly. Trust him completely.
Once you are his wife, your doubts
will disappear. Separated from your
father, you will find a new courage
and make it your own,
1 wish I had twice this space to
answer your sorry letter, I can
only add that I hope you will not
let your present confusion continue.
You are entitled to a life of your
own. This is your chance to get it.
I ani sure your mother will agree.
Talk things over with her. Once
you are married, she will know you

Courage! A year front cow you

RUTH, A SYMBOL OF
FAMILY LOYALTY
Ruth 1:8, 14-22.
Golden Text: And Ruth said, In -
treat nie not to leave thee, or to re-
turn front following after thee: for
whither thou goest. I will go: and
where thou lodgest„ I will lodge:
thy people shall be my people, ,and
thy God my God. Ruth 1:16,
At the conclusion of ,t reading
at a literary club in Paris the group
were, hearty in their applause. One
exclainind, "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 A4bab, Orpah and
Ruth. But soon the three hied died,
and Naomi, thus bereft, prepared to
return to Judah. She advised her
daughters-in-law to return to their
mothers. After some tears Orpah
k'ssed 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 the heathen gods of her child-
hood and youth. Hers 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 forth
the royal line leading to Jesus Christ,
our Saviour,
Many are the quips made con-
cerning mothers-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 family into which she married.
But the influence of Naomi played
a major part in moulding Ruth's life,
thus enabling her to make a noble
decision.
Many are the wreckeges of fam-
ilies today. One magistrate recently
stated that most of the cases that
appeared before him in the family
court were tlic result of drink. The
prospect of clearing the country of
intoxicating beverages is not pro-
mising at present. But individual
boys and girls, men and women, can
be freed from its servitude by the
grace of God. The revival of spiri-
tual life in the nation is our great-
est hope.
