CHAPTER FIVE
(Continued from last week)
"Take care of her, Ma," said the
sheriff, his voice coming thickly
through the bandages on his face.
"I'll 'tend to .Abbot."
Ab Abbot and Joe Blake were
pushing their horses hard. They
cursed one another as they rode,
"Ain't I told you not to .monkey
with that girl. Abbot?" snarled Joe
Blake. "You thinkin' she was stuck
on you. As if any purty girl would
be stuck 'on a big hunk of red
taller like you. And you talked
aplenty I bet after you got drunk.
She leads you along. then busts.
out through rhe window." He
chuckled.
Ab Abbot cursed him back. "Site
was eatin'- outa my hand when"you
- busted into the gauze. She set there,
talkin' and fiirtin' with her eyes.
Chino taken care of that meddlin'
Judge Anders when he tried to
slip in the back way. You gummed
the cards, you drunken fool. 'Say,
who put 'Webb Winters on ' our
trail, anyhow: Tell me the answer
to that:"
"He's been wise for a long time.
So has Hank Roberts. That's why
I took that shot at Roberts to-
night. Dropped hiin the first shot,
and in a bad light, too. One sheriff
less, and the Hoot -Owl Pool gits
the blame. We'd be sittin' on the
world if you hadn't made a fool
of yourself over that girl. I bet
you offered to marry her,"
"Supposiu' I did: She jumped
- at it like a trout after a fly. He was
goin' to elope. She, never liked
Bob Anderson. She hates Webb
'Winters. But she shore fell like
a ton of bricks for Ab Abbot and
the Triangle outfit, It ain't every
hash slinger that gets the chance
to marry a million. Then you horn
in with your scary story about
Winters,"
And your-lovin' gal stampedes.
Busts out a window- and heads for
home." •

acted like a parlor gentleman to'rds
her. Never made a pass at her. I
savvy how to play the game. Blake,
how much is it worth to you to
git Webb Winters "
"Make an offer."
"Five hundred."
"Five thousand sounds better,
Ab."
"You gone loco?"
"No. I'nm just beginnin' CO git

Pool. I'm figgerin' on quittin' the
country. South America bound.

make you a good cook when you

thousand Inc Webb 1Vinters' hide.
Ten thousand for my outfit, lock,
stock and barrel."
Ab Abbot laughed coarsely..He
wanted Webb Winters killed. He
wanted the Scissor -Bill Pool brok-
en. He likewise wanted the Hoot -
Owl Pool smashed.
"Put that damned- Tex where
he belongs and I'll call the het,
Blake. That Hoot -Owl Pool has
got to go, I'll make it fifteen
thousand for Winters, Tex, and
your outfit;. :rake your squaw and
your breed brats with you to hell
and 'gone. Take that or leave it."
"If' I git caught?"
"That'll be your sorrow, Blake.
You and me are supposed to be
enemies."
"Fifteen thousand. Cash money?"
"Cash money, Blake, but it ain't
laid on the line till Webb Winters
and that Texan are planted."
A bottle passed between then.
They rode to the Triangle ranch
together in the starlight.
The agreement had been .made.
"Webb," said Tex as the two
men rode through the night, "I
reckon you know now that it
wasn't any Hoot -Owl Pool man
that shot the sheriff. Us boys ain't
bushwhackers,"
"Hell, yes."
"It was either Ab Abbot or Joe
Flake that shot old Hank. That's
a cinch."
Tex made Webb stop at a small
ranch. There the lanky Texan
bathed and bandaged Webb's
wounds and poured time injured
cowboy stiff drinks of whiskey. The
delay galled Webb but he knew
that he could not ride on without
some sort of medical attention.
It was in the dark hour before
dawn that they reached tite Tri-
angle.
There was no sign of life at the
barn. They slipped inside. The in-
terior of the big barn was pitch
black. Webb risked lighting a
.latch. By its brief light he saw
two sweat -marked horses. One of
the horses was Ab Abbot's top
circle horse. The other horse wore
Joe Flake's brand. Tex was exam-
ining the saddles that lay near the
front of the barn.

One day last week I went to visit
a friend who lives on the outskirts
of a small town, She has a lovely
old home with a nice garden conm-
plete with shade trees and shrubs.
We wandered around admiring the
flowers -it was all very beautiful.
And then I happened to notice that
right across from the front of her
house and garden the only vie'
was the backyard of a factory -
with new construction work even
then in progress. Without think-
ing I said -rather tactlessly I ad-
mit -"Oh what a shame you have
that factory in front of youl" My
friend immediately answered -"Mrs,
Clarke, I never see its" I looked
at her in admiration as I admitted
in reply -"No, I don't believe you
do," I knew she was telling the
truth -it wasn't just something to
say. I was sure of it because I
know her to be a woman of great
courage who has had more than
her share of sorrow. Yet there is
not a trace of self-pity. She has
not lost interest in life, in people,
or in what goes on around her;
much of her life is spent in doing
kindly things for other folk. She
loves beauty and refuses to see
that which is ugly. So she works
in her garden among the flowers
and shrubs, loving the fragrance of
the roses and peonies, and the
brightness of the gaillardias, and
she refuses to look beyond her gar-
den to the ugliness of the factory
buildings, an ugliness which she
cannot change, Instead, by turning
ever so slightly towards the west
she can look over and get a grand
view of "The Mountain" where sun
and shadow chase- each other itt
quick succession across the wooded
heigh ts.
Needless to say this friend of
nine has a gracious and kindly dis-
position -I have yet to hear of her
speaking ill of anyone -and she also
has a wonderful capacity for bring-
ing people together --maybe just
two people formerly strangers to
one another, ur perhaps a group of

If therewere more folk like this

world this would be. In these days
of stress and uncertainty she is a
person one finds it restful to meet.

Another place 1 went to -to pick
up strawberries for canning -was
a fine old farmhouse. There I saw
something that I thought was really
unique. The original dwelling had
been demolished -'-all except the
old brick chimney which in years
gone by had served its purpose
in carrying away smoke from Its
old-fashioned fireplace - the kind
one sees in so many old farm-
houses, where great pine stumps
were hunt to beat the rooms -
we have one right here in our
dining -room, boarded up 6f course.
On this farm 1 visited, the fireplace
and its tall chimney looked like a
cairn in the distance -quaint and
arresting. At present it is more or
less in a rough condition but the
lady of the house told me they
intend to fix it up and use it for
corn roasts, picnics and weiner
roasts. So there you are, friends, if
you have an old house that you
intend tearing down think twice
before you completely demolish the
chimney -especially, if there are chil-
dren in your family, because chil-
dren and picnics belong together.
Incidentally such -a relic could be
i fixed up into a fine barbecue.
* w * .
Well, I haven't a doubt a good
many folk have been following time
recommendations for old age pen-
sions -without a means test -which
have been presented to the Federal
house, This should be particularly
interesting to farm people whose
income has a way of dwindling
m proportion to their ability to
work. tinder the existing laws a
fanner .must be.. practically desti-
tute before he is eligible for a pen-
sion -if he owns a farm he can-
not gel' it at all. And yet if a
farmer is too old or infirm to keep
up a productive farm then the very
property he owns becomes a mill-
stone around his neck. But if the
rears test is abolished then every
aging farmer can look forward to
a little something to eke out his
income -and with that in view he
can afford to take a chance by
renting his farm or turning it over
to the young folk. If, on the other
hand, he has managed to accumu-
late a little capital over the years,
and still applies for the pension,
no one need get the idea that he
is "putting it over the government"
because it would all go back in
income tax.°The sante thing applies
if those who have no need for it
participate in the baby bonus. With
any of these goyerninent schemes
it generally works out that what
you slake on the routviabouts you
lose on the swings.
* .
But, ob dear, is hat a time the
women will have! I wonder how
many woolen willrefuse to apply
for th e pension rather than admit
they are old enough to be eligibles
That is, if atel m,hen, it comes into
being.

Samuel, the Upright Judge
I Samuel 7:3-6, 15-16; 12:1-5
Golden 'Text: And Samuel grew,
and the Lord was with him, and
did 'let none of his wends fall to
the ground, --I Samuel 3:19.
A period of transition is always
a time of testing. Samuel, the last
of the judges of Israel, sate the
people change from this type of
government to a .monarchy. They
had no fault to find with Samuel.
Said they, "Thou hast not defraud-
ed us, nor oppressed us ,neither
hast thou taken ought of .any man's
hand." Unfortunately, "his sons
walked not in his ways, but turned
aside after lucre, and took bribes,
and perverted judgment." The people
said, "Behold, thou art old, and
thy sons walk not in thy ways:
now make us a king to judge us
like all the nations." God spoke
to Samuel, "They have not re-
jected thee, but they have rejected
Me, that I should not rule over
then."
Samuel proceeded to establish a
monarchy, though warning them of
the increased taxes that would en-
sue. When 110 stepped aside front
the leadership, lie said, "God for-
bid that 1 should sin against the
Lord in ceasing to pray for you:
but I will teach you the good and
right way." Not everyone steps
down from leadership with such
graciousness.
A nation is no greater than its
leaders. Leaders ought to be de-
vout men who prize God's favor
above the people's applause. They
ought to be examples of godliness
in their private lives. In public
policy they ought to act upon those
principles that will tend to the
moral upbuilding of the nation. God
will bless the nation which has such
leaders,
