SHARP CHAPTER THREE (Continued From bast Week) The bedded herd was a huge, din 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 took the guard watch handed hint. Out across the sleeping herd, a cowboy was singing a lonesome, lulling song, There is an indefinable spell about night guard, It creeps into a cowboy's heart like a plaintive mn melody. It is ostarry nights, when the herd is quiet, that the cowboy dreams as lie 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 hremem- bers reem- 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 Itis hour for talk. brise in more than one way was that grizzled old sheriff of Rhnrock. "If I cared a heap for a woman," he began, "I'd do all I could to :snake her happy. I. wasn't more 'than about your age, Webb, when I met the girl I married.

"It was a Saturday flight; no school of a Sunday, .l\?ow, illy 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 got inarried 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' nay 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 lie was human. Take a young feller your age, for instance, with one of the finest and gamest little girls that ever lived, a -carie' 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 buckin' a l.osin' game. He'd sell out and marry that girl and take hes• 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 printers stared. straight ahead when lie answered the slier. ifl'. "You're talkie' through your hat, Hank. Talkin' loco. You don't savvy the layout. Mae don't care about me like that. Man, site was goin' to marry Bob Anderson. Bob just naturally worshipped her. He's kep' nae awake many ' a night tellin' me hot, he was goin' to make their home 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 Injun rugs and bear Irides on the floor. Real dishes instead of the ones he had. "I Helped line 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.

Too quietly to suit old Ifallk Roberts, AN -110 knew ]low to read men, He caught that note of final- ity and lie knew that nothing he could say or do mould alter Webb's Plans- He Marie Otte last effort, however.

When I left you last week I was painting the hall and also watching three little robins in a nest over the front door. Iefy, how those little birds grew l 1'en days and they were all feath- ered out and getting ready to leave the nest. And by that time they had become nice looking tree things witli bright speckled breasts. They kept Mother and Father Robin busy from bawn 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 mere fed tiny pin - size worms and grubs, then, as the birds grew bigger Mr. and Mrs. Robin brought bigger anti 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 ntin- utes and then fly oil' again. What is she doing; I wondered? To find out 1 watched more closely. Now what (10 you suppose was happening? t.\cell believe it or not, Mrs. Robin was housekeeping] Her method was to liunt for the droppings of her offspring, then pick then up in her Beal: and fly -away with them. if only chickens could be trained that way] Another thing ! found out .. when little birds are feath- ered out Mrs. Robin leaves (diem to themselves all night, But c,otne the dawn, she is back again v ith an early breakfast. And indeed, these robins grew so fast there was no soon~ in the nest for nioilier any- way. When they were about eight clays old the young robins began making chipping noises aud some- tinics they would stand up in the nest and flap their sturd;- little i,ings. One time one little fellow hopped on 'to the ledge, blit soon F•ot nervous and cuddled Clown in the nest again. That is, until today. .i'oday %,as their big day , and mine, too. The parent robins, hour after hour, flet, around from tree to tree, and back and furth to 4hc ledge hear the nest, chipping, hipping, all tdle tilne—calling to their babies in bird language — ' Collie, it is tinic you left rile nest'. Spread your wings, little fledg- lings. Come out here in the open —We will take care of you. We will show you where the best worms 'ate found and the safest trees and nushcs in which to hide nnlil your : •ings are stroliger."
