Riders for the
Hoot -Ow!
Po 1
by G. H. 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."

Then the match in the sheriff's
hand flared, Its flame lighted a
spare lamp and there, in the yellow
light Sheriff Hank Roberts looked
at the wrecked roots and the men
who had wrecked it.
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

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,

Roberts stood beside her, his

"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

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

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. No extensive
damage but enough black sky to
create that same fear as we watch-

Answer elsewhere on this page,
meet my sister-in-lnw at°Bronte as
she wanted me to go with, her to
!runt up an artist in that district
who specializes in textile printing.
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

This, of course, i,n't msaut to be

ARE WE CANADIANS THE
WORLD'S WORST CAR -DRIVERS?
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.
If you have a popular ,Hake car
and use it for pleasure, your bill
tot basic insurance this }ear will
read something like this:
531.64 for public liability (525,000-
$50,000 and property damage $2,000)
539 for collision ($50 deductible)
57 for fire and theft,
51,11 for passenger hazard (in
LnCasert) a passenger in your car is
The total: $88.85.
Ten years ago, relatih ely the
sante protection cost $48.90..
Here's a comparison showing the
increase percentagewise in each
category. Note the big ad"ance in
collision rates,

Total 10055125,45 25.415
This increased cost reflects two
factors: more accidents and costlier
ones. Everything connected with
automobiles is higher; original price,
repairs, taking a dent out of a
crumpled fender; claims for personal
injuTry,
ake some basic costs:

Replace new radiator grill 17,79 50,41
!Where it really hurts is compar-
ing these costs with 1939.
In that $50.41 to replace a bashed
in grill is $41,20 for the new part.

tion of essential 011 and camphor and

The test is for lour !tours labor, The
1939 cost of $17.79 for the sante
job included x;13.70 for the new grill
and $4.09 for 1.0 hours labor.

Overall, car repair costs are 69
per cent higher than they were is
1039.
But repair bills are not the only
item that make accidents more
costly.
The average claim For personal
injury ((and property damage) is
48 per cent higher. This means
higher doctor's fees, hospital costs,

Then, too, the number of claims
have jumped tremendously: around

increase of 200 per cent in the vole
