Webb, in the barber chair, looked at the .out- stretched hand, surprise and suspi- cion in his eyes. "I'm collectin' 'ern, son." Webb Winters sat up in the bar- ber chair. Slowly lie took his six- shooter from the waistband of his overalls and handed it to the sheriff. "I'm obliged, Webb." "Keep the change." "When you git ready to leave toren, call for your gun at the of- fice. You'll git it back." "Thanks a bell of a lot!" Webii lay back in his chair, a sardonic grin showing through the bandage and shaving lather, Hank Roberts walked out. So he had met Hank Roberts. There had been no invitation to supper. On the contrary, the sheriff's attitude had been anything but friendly. Wobb suddenly real- ized what that old peace officer was going to try to do. He was plan- ning to disarm the Hoot -Owl Pool alien. 'Sheer suicide. Webb was out of the chair with .a jerk. He wiped the lather from his face and grabbed his hat. Part D,' his face was still covered with a stiff stubble of whiskers. It gave him an almost clownish appearance. But the hard look in his eyes belied any clown spirit. He looked up and down the dim- ly lighted street. No sign of Hank Roberts. Webb stood there uncer- tainly. Then, from the shadows and darkness down the street, came the sound of a shot. Webb broke into a run. He almost stumbled over the prostrate form of a man, in the alleyway behind a saloon. He struck a match. By its uncertain, flickering light he saw the blood- stained face of old Hank Roberts. Gently he picked up the old sheriff and carried him into the saloon. "Fetch the doctor," Webb told a bystander. He laid the wounded sheriff on a pool table.

The bullet had torn through the sheriff's cheek, ripping it wide open, clipping the upper part of an ear and creasing the skull. The doctor calve. Old Judge Anders was holding the basin of warm water. Webb reached over and tools his own gun from the waistband of the sheriff's trousers. Then he faced Tex and the Other cowboys who made the Hoot -Owl, Pool. They had filtered in as the news went around, "I'm wonderin' who shot Hank," Webb said, his eyes cold, hard, and menacing. "Hard to say." said Tex, his voice flat. "Hank was startin' out to collect all the Hoot -Owl Pool guns. He took mine at the barber shop. I was aimin' to head him off and talk to him when I heard the shot. I found him layin' there in the alley. You all seen me take my gun off Hank. I took it because I'1 likely reed it. Tex, who shot old Hank?" "Hard to say, cowboy, Me, I don't know. And if that's the way you look at it, I reckon that the Hoot -Owl Pool kin manage to git along without Webb Winters. Why don't you buy a tin star? They sell 'em cheap." Tex turned and walked back to the bar. The Hoot -Owl Pool men joined the lanky Texan. They had turned their backs on Webb Winters. Webb stood there, legs wide- spread, his eyes the color of deep ice. They had turned their backs on him. He stood there with his gun in his hand. "Warm water," said the doctor. "And stand back, men." The bartender brought a fresh basin of warm water. The tobacco smoke was thick in the saloon. The doctor, one of the old cow -country type, worked with deft hands. The green cloth on the pool table was ruined by blood and water and the bartender's face was drawn with worry. He might lose his job to- morrow because he had let them ruin the cloth oil the pool table. He went about his business of fetch- ing warm water and bandages with a reluctant, sullen air. Webb slowly shoved his gun into the waistband of his overalls. He looked through narrowed, eyes at Tex and the others whose backs were now turned to hien. A hand, a hand that was none too steady, touched Webb's arm. He turned to look into the eyes of old Judge Anders. "Don't feel it too deeply, Webb. They're good boys, after their own fashion." "They turned their backs to me, Judge.,, "You asiced for it, didn't you?" Judge Anders was sober. Cold sober. He was shaved. His linen was threadbare, but clean. He was PUZZLE 7C1109S 4.

There on the wall; do the floor and there was a whimsical, tolerant smile on the face that was etched with countless lines. His voice was low- pitched, vibrant. His eyes, no longer bleary, looked at the cowboy steadily. Webb looked at hint; "I reckon I did ask for it, sir, but Hank Roberts is a white man. He didn't have it corrin'." "No, Webb, he didn't have it> coming." And he went back to his work of helping to care for the wounded pian. Cold water now. A shot of whisky. Slowly, deliberately, Sher- iff Hank Roberts sat up. His head throbbed with stabbing pains. His face was bandaged. • His gaze fo- cused on Webb Winters, "I notice, Webb, that you got back your gun." "I got it back, Hank. Figured it might come in handy." The doctor and Judge Anders helped the sheriff off the pool table, Old Hank Roberts stood on his feet, swaying a little, "I'll help you get home,". said Webb. Webb Winters looked funny with his bandaged face covered by dried. lather, one half clean-shaven, the other half covered with a dusty stubble, PIank Roberts looked at the cow- boy who stood there. He shook off Webb's helping hand.. -Then he spoke thickly through his bandage.. "I{eep your - gun, Webb. You spoke true words when you said -it might come in handy.

Cte r;rke We had a very nice rain last week and as a result everything is looking so much better. But, oh dear, it is so chilly in the house. First week in June and when' we are ready to sit down in the eve- rting we are glad of a bit of fire in the furnace, But then we are not sitting down very much. The long, light evenings give one a chance to get so many little odd jobs done. I have even been able to paint at night. Oh yes, I am still on that Ball -but the end is in sight. There is only the floor to do now and then I can say "finis" and be thankful. Something tells me l should never be able to male a living as a painter. I get into some awful mix-ups occasionally -only I, have never yet painted myself into a corner -if you get what I mean. I would like to know how it is pos- sible to avoid smears of paint here, there and everywhere. It is a secret I have never yet discovered. Do the 10, Trouble 33.

Make a determined effort to get into all the corners when paint- ing window -sash and you get paint all over the glass. I find so much time is wasted trying to make a neat job of things so that now I go mer- rily, on and clean up afterwards. And Here is a hint that someone may find useful. If you have used water -paint you may have been in despair trying to clean up splashes that have dried without your notic- ing thein. Try using very hot water on them. It works. 'My worst predicament so far has been reaching the wail and ceiling over the well of the stairs. I knew I should have had a scaffold- ing built but it seemed such a lot of work for the small amount of" painting there was to do. So, for the high spots, I experimented by using a sponge mop for the paint - in. It worked but the job was somewhat patchy. When Bur niece was here she looked. at my work with critical eyes and said -"If you had boards reaching from the rail- ing over to the step -ladder I could kneel on them and give that wall a secgnd .coat." And by Jove, that is eactly what she did . . . with nothing to hang on to and a 12 foot drop if 'she fell! Partner put a brace under'the boards in the mid- dle which he hung on to like grim death;, I held the boards at one end to make sure they didn't slip, while Babs inched her way along on her knees, painting as she went. Once or twice she glanced at me anxiously and said -"What are you looking so worried about, Aunt Gwen . I'm all right?" Well - maybe -but I was hot all, over be- fore she was through. I had one consolation -our acrobat weighed only 109 pounds. Now if it had been me . . , but enough said! Another job I did last week was clean up the cellar. We had a good garden last year and a lot of stuff went down cellar. There was also a lot of stuff to carry up this spring. And I knew it! That part done 1 attacked the cobwebs -with the aid ,of a vacuum cleaner. It wouldn't be safe to try that stunt with an upright vacuum - bits might get into the motor and ruin it. But with a tank type almost anything is possible. By using the crevic&tool it is a simple matter to get rid of dirt, cobwebs and spiders.. The poor little spiders -they never have a chance to get away, at all. Another good thing to have around is an extension light -no ceiling light is any good 1vllen it comes to far- j away places. But of course you may not have a cellar as big as ours. I believe you could drop one of these wartime houses down in our base- ment and still have room to spare. Well, our poor old horses have gone. We hated saying good-bye to thein ... we certainly hope they Have a good Home and will be well treated. The small tractor is now on the job and the hien found it very handy for toting stuff around when they were fixing fences, One day when Bob was away I heard the tractor start up and immediately I was outside to investigate. I had a feeling Partner was just waiting for an opportunity to try it out when no one was around, He used to drive the big one but this little fellow with its starter, clutch and gears. is something else again. Sure enough, there was Partner in the driving shed, experimenting with the gears. As soon as lie was sure of himself he let the clutch out and was then away for most of the afternoon. The cows are out to -grass. First to a patch at the back of the (louse -part garden, part natural pasture thick, long and luscious. And what did those cows do? They nosed around the asci -pile; ate branches off trees; reached over the fence and nibbled at a little' elni Partner set out last year; push- ed their noses under the fence to get at the fresh green oats. Then they looked around for places in the yard where the grass was the thickest and greenest ---and on it they settled down to chew their cud.
