CHAPTER THREE
The Hoot -Owl Fool
Webb found the old attorney at
one of the saloons. He was stand-
ing at the bar, quite drunk. When
Webb tried to thank him, he shook
his head.
"One good turd deserves another,
Webb. You've forgotten what you
did for me one night in this saloon.
The night you knocked a man down
for trying to play some practical
joke on me when I was a bit deep
in my cups. I have tried, my friend,
in my own humble way, to repay
The saloon was filling. Joe Blake
came in and shook hands with
Webb. Tex and two strangers
came in and Tex insisted on buying
old Judge Anders a case of the best
vrhisky, in the place, He introduced
the two cowboys with him.
"Webb, meet the two Jones
boys."
Webb shook hands with the two
cold -eyed men. Tex grinned faintly.
"There's quite a tribe o' the
Jones boys. You'll find. 'em scat-
tered from tine Peace River country
in Canada plumb down to the 1\lex-
ican line, Them Josses is quite a
tribe."
Webb had seen the two cowboys
in the courtrom. He had wondered
who they were. Now he knew
them. They belonged to that name-
less brotherhood that rides the out-
law trail. Now he looked squarely
into the eyes of the lanky Texan.
"If the jury had found me guilty,
Tex?"
Tex chuckled softly, then lifted
his glass. "Here's to Judge Anders.
Drink hearty, boys."
Ab Abbott and a bunch of Tri-
angle men came in, spurs dragging.
They pushed their wav to the bar.
Abbott lined up alongside Webb.
"Just because that drunken shy-
ster gat you off is no sign that this
eow country is looldn' at it the
way that fool jury did. Even your
Scissor -Bill Pool went back oil

"I drawed out of the Scissor -Bill

dered Bob Anderson. 'Girhen I cut
the man's trail, I'll kill him where
I find him. I hope, Abbot, that
the gent I run down will be you."
Ab Abbot's purplish face twisted
as he reached for his gun. Webb's
fist caught him flush on the jaw. A
second blowy dropped the paunchy
Triangle owner to the floor. '
"That second punch was for my
friend, Judge Anders. Get up and
take some more, you yellow -bellied
coyote."
Tex and his two cold -eyed com-
panions stood with their backs to
tine bar, six-shooters in their hands.
"Tromp his guts out, Webb,"
drawled Tex. "Us boys will take
care of them Triangle things."
"Stand up and fight, Abbot," grit-
ted Webb, "o• I'll kick you out
of the place. Either fight or start
crawlin' for the door."
Blood spurted 'from Ab Abbot's
nose. He lay there in the soiled
sawust, breathing thickly, pig eves
slatted. Webb picked up the six-
shooter he had knocked out of the
big cattleman's hand and tossed it
across the bar to the bartender.
"If Abbot needs another gun, lie
can borrow one oft somebody. That
smoke pole is mine from now on.
Just a souvenir. Now drag it,
Abbot,- and take your coyote pack
with you." He planted a short, swift
icicle in the cowman's belly. Abbot
doubled up, gasping.
"Take him out," grinned Tex,
"and load him on his horse. He
thinks he's sick, but he'll be sicker
if he hangs around. Haul him outa
here, you tough Triangle waddies,
And unless you gents are cravin'
fast excitement, hit the trail for
your home ranch. There ain't room
enough in town for the Triangle
outfit."
Under the menace of Tex' gull
the Triangle men carried the bulky
Ab Abbot outside,
"The drinks," said the bartender,

in' this to Webb Winters,"
Sunrise found Webb Winters
back at his ranch. I -ie put up his
horse and 'went to his cabin. There
eras a sheet of paper tacked to his
cabin door. He grinned faintly as
he read the printed warning on it:
"Quit the Country!"
He left the paper tacked to the
door and went inside. It had bee 'i
a month since he had been inside
this little log cabin he called home,
They had kept him in jail that long.
He stood there in the doorway nowt',
looking into the cabin.
The floor, which he had always
kept clean, was littered with dried
mad tracks. Dirty pots and pans
and dishes littered the place. Empty
bottles had been tossed into cor-
ners, His tarp -covered bed was
pulled apart, blankets and soogans
ripped to shreds. A soiled deck o:
cards lay scattered on the table.
Cupboards and shelves were empty

Modern Etiquette

Q. VVbat is the proper v, av to
shake !sands?
A. Make your hand grasp firm
and cordial. Avoid that limp clasp,
sometimes known as the "dead -fish"
or "wet dishrag" handclasp. How-
ever it is not good taste to make
the other person wince with pain.
And avoid the pump -handle type of
handshake, too.

A. On the night of his baairelor
dinner, which is usually a day or
two before big wedding,
