A Complete Story
By Jim Kjelgaard
NOBOD1 1N the Stannigy ever
gets sick. Every time I've been
there I've delivered a baby, or set
a broken leg, or patched up some
young hellion who thought he
could ride an outlaw horse, or
dug bullets out of somebody else
It's a wild country settled by wild
people, Some tines 1 get so mad
at those cattle men that I wish
they'd all shoot each other. And
then at other times . , ,
Iit spite of their hair-trigger tem-
pers, and their tendency to express
those tempers with a gun, they
have their good qualities. I've
known everybody in the Stannigy
for forty yees guest: yore. I est I've de-
livered half of them.
On this trip 1 pulled up in front
of old Jeb Cressfield's ranch house.
The house is built on top of a hill,
and there are folks who say Jeb
built it there so he could look all
ways for those who'd come gun-
ning for him. Jeb himself, as
as strong, gnarled, and as talkative,
as any tree that grows on the
Stanningy ridges, awaited the on
the porch. '`Colne in, Doc," he
said.
I eWVENT in through the kitchen,
and if there was one person wait-
ing there, there must have been
thirty. The women were either
talking or crying in one part 01
the 'room, and the men weren't
saying anything at all in another
part. Every family in the Stannigy
was represented. Tight-lipped as
turtles, seven of the eight Cross-
field boys sat in seven chairs that
they had tilted against the wall.
When those boys were the prop
er age -about six -they each got
a six-shooter . Now they could
knock the centre out of a silver
dollar at fifty yards, It seemed sort
Of ominous to me because young
Bud Cressfield was missing.
Old Jab ducked under the door-
way that led to the next room, and
I found out why Bud wasn't with

off, and I didn't have to look mite
at the blood-stained patcli of guaze
on his chest to know what had
happened.
This was an old, old story, one
that, off and on, I'd been reading
in the Stannigy for forty years,
Bud Cressfield had been some-
where. Maybe it was a dance, may-
be any place at all. Anyhow, he'd
got into-. an argument with some
other hothead and the'd 'settled it
with guns.
The story from now on had to
follow a familiar pattern. Bud's
seven brothers, and old Jeb, would
find out who'd shot Bud. Then.
naturally, one of them would go
pick hitt off. His male relatives
would feel obliged to shoot a few
Cressfields. Before the thing fleas
settled five or six men could die.
It was enough to make anybody
mad, and sick too.
1 took the bandage off and
looked at the bullet hole. It was
harmless -looking, not half as big
as the end of my finger. Well, the
size of the hole makes no difference -
1 found it, and got up, mad.
"This," and I raised -my voice
so the people in the other roout
could hear, "is what you call mur-
der!"
Because I know the people or
the Stannigy, I know how ole
Jeb Cressfield's insides must have
twisted when I said that. He loved
his sons, but when I told him
Bud was going to die he didn't
even blink. His aclam's apple
worked a coupleoftines, and brat's
all except that his voice might have
been a little strained when ice said.
"is there anything at all you
can do for hint. Dor?"
"Nothing!"
"Uh, Of course you }mow the
caliber bullet you took out of hint?"
"Yes!" and 1 was still sliouting
"1 know!"
"Well, dor:"
"Look," 1 sand, "I've been cora
ing into this district and patching.
you damn cowmen up when yotr
triedto t ter for
c kill each ct o f t oft
forty years! I'm damned good and
sick of itt! Oue of two men shot
Bud and f could give you their
names. I know the guns you hot-
heads use! I'm not going to tell!
Cm going to the police with this
bullet and with what 1 know! The
man who shot Bud will hang by
the neck until he's dead! Maybe
that will make you fools think twice
before you start any more of your
cursed shooting frays!"
I looked up to see the ser el.
Cressfield- boys, one behind the
other, staring at me with hungry
eyes. Old Jeb's edam's apple bob
bed a couple of more times.
"That's mighty strong talk, Doe "
"Maybe you think you can do
something about itt" I wouldn't
have dared talk that way if every-
body in the Stannigy hadn't thought
God and I were fairly close relatives
"Maybe you'd like to try to stop
me going -to the police,"
Old Jeb said hoarsely, "Do what
you can for Bud."
1 did what 1 could. Their got my
hat.
"1"11 be back in a . few hours," 1
said. "Keep him quiet and,"
raised my voice again, "before I
conte back the police will be in to
get the man who shot Bud,"
IF YOU want to kill a Stannigy
cowboy, you'd better shoot him,
right through the heart. Of course .
T'd known from the feet .that Bud
had at least a fighting chance, ani
-
that's all a Cressfield needs. 'iVhen
I got back Bud was out of danger,
"He must be strong as a horse:"
I told old Jeb, "He'll live, la a
couple of months he can dei his
crown shooting." e
"No." Old J eb's eyes were very
thoughtful. "I don't reckon he will,
Doc. Did you know young Tom
Rainse has took and lit out? Did
you know that no police carie
here?"
"They must have forgotteu." 1
avoided Jeb's eyes,
But I figured- I'd done a pretty
good job. There had been some-
body front every family in the
Stannigy waiting to see how Bud -:
would make out and I'd raised my
voice, and...
Now that the Creeelields knew
definitely who had shot Bud they'a
be looking only for hint. He'd
certainly have more sense than to
come bade.
'!'here just couldn't be trouble in
the Stannige.

Well, we have Book Week, Edo
cation Week, Health Week, Fire
Prevention' Week, and plenty more
that 1 can't recall: at the moment,
so to be 'really up-to-date, I thought
we might as well have a special
week at home. With that in mind
I made last week "Window Week"
at Ginger learnt, Yes, indeed -and
did 1 knots it! From Tuesday. to
Friday inclusive I was either clean-
ing windows inside and out, or
painting storm windows -and then
scraping off the paint daubs and
cleaning -them afterwards. Let's
sec now, how many windows are
there m this house? I never have
counted them, but there's no time
like the present, so here goes. We'll
start at the cellar and work np.
Armin cellar there are five, not
cotusting the two that are blocked
up. Three of them have storm
sash so that ntakes eight. On the
first floor there are sixteen windows,
storm windows on eight, so that
makes another twenty-four. Up -

Any bay who encourages a girl
of 15 to meet hint away from her
home is a boy of no character. if
you were honest and told him that
your parents -do not allow you to

"I understand, and 1'11 be' around

troduce Inc to them," That he

ness shows him up for what be is.
You cannot grow up to be a girl

unless you make peace with your-
self. You must scorn treachery of
any kind, and keep yourself above
suspicion. Unless you are honest
with your• father and mother, you
cannot expect them to think you
can be trusted to go out with boys
at all.
And besides, what do you think
