SHARP CHAPTER SIX (Continued from last week) Now the Hoot -Owl Pool men came with a rush, quitting their running horses, Hank Roberts slammed the pool' shut and stood with his back against it, his gun in his hand. His deep, unhurried voice halted the Wren. "Easy, boys, I'm Sherifff Hank Roberts, There's a hell of a fight goin' on inside, but there ain't a chance for any man here to help. I'nm deputizin' every man of you, regardless. Round up them Tri- angle snakes and hold 'est in the bunkhouse. Webb and Tex Jones is inside attendin' to a little per- sonal matter. I'm boldin' this door, .and one of you sten guard the back door. Watch the windows. I got warrants for the arrest of Ab Abbot and Joe Blake and for every Tri- angle cowboy. Help me serve 'em legal and proper. Git at it, cow- boys." Frons out there in the darkness a voice spoke in a soft 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 'cut cowboys. Round up them Triangle things and cor- ral 'rio tVe're a-workin' for the law and workin' hard!" From inside time house Hank Roberts could hear \\'ebb Winter's voice. "All right, Tex? Are yulm all 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, Hurt' any?" But Tex's voice did not answer, Sheriff Hank Roberts shoved open the door. "Find Mae, Hank. Find hers" "Mac's safe, son." 'It's Hank, Webb, Cm striltin' '�d9ma.-cbataf S„ :nmarti So V('5(ilc!

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 weft 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. 1 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 rate. 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 lie had sentenced Ab Abbot and Chino to prison for life. But today he was serving in a different capacity, The courtroom was packed with sten, women, children, There were ranchers 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. \\-ebb, holding the hand of Kathleen Mav- ourneen Murphy. Sheriff (lank 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 kisses 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 theta fiddlers don't play till sun -up to- morrow, we'll hang 'enm, And you Ho - ot Uw'i Pool men, listen. The town is yourn. Take care of it. Judge. lead the way!"

Sane thinking is just about int, 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 !rouse there is never a doll 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 the party is calebratiug 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 responsillle. 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 seethed like a good time to at !cast get this col- umn started. This is one of the few nice wedc- ends we have had this summer - neither too ]tot 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 time whim of the weather, The wheat is ripening fast and will possibly be ready to cut sometime this week, So we c ar e 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 hare and there.

It was fine when I left home but as I waited for the bus another storm blew up -the sky got darker every minute. Finally down carte the rant. All I could do was sit in the car hoping the wind would not get strong enough to carry us 1 both away, It was au 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 Hoey, And what an interesting visit that ryas! Airs. I•Ioey specializes in hand - 1 blocked drapes, which she designs, 1 dyes and prints herself. Her work it is exquisite in both colour and de- sign. There was a very good write- ; up in time Family Herald last spring i featuring her work -no doubt many of you read is 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 tine -and always there are new designs in the staking. Some mothers find it hard with young- sters around to keep up with even ordinary work - but Mrs. Hoey does all this and lier art work too. She has two lively, adorable little girls, two and four years old - just another work of art you might say -although I imagine her hus- band contributed his share just as he also helps his wife with her block printing during the week- ends. Maybe not ma • try of us could af- ford drapes such as Airs. Hoey stakes -evert though her charge is actually very reasonable. However, if you really want something orig- inal and have difficulty 111 finding drapes that are just right for your living room Mrs. l-Ioey has the answer, Yes, I mean that, because you just choose any design she has on hand and she will stake it up in any colour scheme you desire. Or for an additional charge she will even make you am exclusive design ftat u'm6 anything you have in mind. if you are musically in- clined then 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. IIoey has place mats in sets of four, or two, with table napkins to match. They wouldn't do for me because I would he inclined to shove my plate to one side rather than have the place stat hidden from view. This, of course, i,n't msaut to be "sales talk."

Canada is in time middle of the grimmest chapter in the 1950 edi- tion of "Highway (Homicide." It began July 1 with the holiday weekend and goes through until Labor Day, This is the period when our highways are crowded and death and injury ride with the care- less, thoughtless, discourteous, the stupid ,tnd those who are lust un- lucky -and all their unfortunate victims. What will the pages of this grisly chapter tell? Will it be as 9hoelcing as last yea!•: --All esthnated 2,200 killed (1,581 in 1939), -50,000 injured and maimed (25,104 in 1939), -$50 millions in property dam- age -28 accidents per 1,000 cars (162 in 1939). -Slightly more than 10 persons killed for every million miles travelled. , This last iteral is the real shocker. It ,makes Canadians the world's most dangerous drivers, not the Americans, as most people believe. Their ratio of deaths wee 7,7 in 1948, This years grim statistics are now in the making: in the screech of skid'ding tilts; the crunch of tons of flying metal and glass coum- ing together; the long pitiful parade ta the hospital operating room. Chances are the 1950 toil 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 the 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 has ade- quate insurance, And • ;nsurance rotes go hand-in-hand with the fre- quency and seriousness of accid- ents, Just a quick look show; what's happened.
