SHARP CHAPTER SIX (Continaed from last week) Now the Hooi-Owl Pool men came with a rush, quitting their running horses. Hank Roberts slammed tlie door shut and stood with his hack against it, his gun in ,liis hand. His deep, unhurried voice lialtcd the men. "Kasy, l)oys, I'm Sherifff Hauk Roberts. There's a hell of a fight goin' on inside, hut there ain't a chance for any man here to help. I'm deputizin' every man of you, regardless. Round up them Tri- angle snakes and hold 'em in the bnnkhouse. Webb and Tex Jones is inside attcndin' to a little per- sonal matter. I'm lioldin' this door, and one of you men guard the back door. Watch the windows. 1 got v.arrants for the arrest of Ab .\bbot and Joe Blake and for every Tri- angle cowboy. Help me serve 'em legal and proper. Git at it, cow- boys." l-'rom out there in the darkness a voice spoke in a soft Texas drawl. ".\nd now I'm a deputy! I'll be damned. Sheriff, the drinks is on me. Let's go, you Hoot-Owl depu- ties!"- Perliaps that was a chuckle that escaped from the sheriff's bandaged lips. The man who had spoken was giving quick, efficient orders. '"Take to 'em cowboys. Round up them Triangle things and cor- ral 'cm. We're a-workin' for the law and workin' hard!" From inside the house Hank Roberts could hear Webl) Winter's voice. "All right, Tex? Are yuh all riglit?" ".'Ml ... all right, pardner. I doneâ€" paid off Ed's debt. How you fixed?" "Got the big hunk of meat hog- tied and I'm scttin' on his belly. Hurt any?"

Then the match in tlie sheriff'f hand flared. Its flame lighted a spare lamp and there, in the yellow light Sheriff Hank Roberts looked at the wrecked room and the men who had wrecked it. 'Jvvc 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 v/elt over one eye. Webb Winters, blood-smeared, sat en the heavy paunch of the un- conscious cattleman. "He's yourn, Hank," said Webb. Then handcuffs snapped on Abbot's tliick 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'! Just a scratch. I paid Ed Young's debt. When the work is done this fall I'll be ligluin' out for Texas where Ed's sister is waitin' for me. Can you loan me the use of the makin's?" Judge Anders was wearing a neiv black broadcloth suit. He sat there in his chair, grave, white-haired, sober. He was once more a judge. Yesterday he had sentenced Ab Abbot and Chino to prison for life. But today he was serving in a different capacity. The courtroom was packed with men, women, children. There were rancU,?rs 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. Webb, holding the hand of Kathleen .\lav- ournecn Murphy. Sheriff Hank Roberts stood beside lier, 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 kissed 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 licad for the schoolhouse. And if them fiddlers don't play till sun-up to- morrow, we'll hang 'em. ,\nd you Hoot-Owl Pool men, listen. The town is yourn. Take care of it. Judge, lead the way!" THE END Her System A salesman was tryini; to sell the young wife an egg timer. "Your husband's eggs will be just right if you use this,' lie as- sured her. "But I don't need it," she an- swered, brightly. "Jack likes his eggs the way I do them. I just loo!-- through the window at the traffic lights and give them three reds and two grcenii." Flower Girlâ€" Shirley May France, the 17-year-old schoolgirl who will soon make her second attempt to swiin the English Channel, finds herself right at home among the lovely flowers that bloom on the chalk cliffs of Dover, England. Shirley May is training there, determined to become the youngest person ever to swim the dangerous stretch. hronicles ^jngerFarm 4' Qvfind'^i''^'- D Clarke Sane thinking is just about im- possible this week end â€" or even thinking! You see we are suffering from an influ.x of the younger generation â€" and when six young people get together in one house there is never a dull 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 celebrating 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 responsible. Right at this inonicnt 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 seemed like a good time to at least get this col- umn started. This is one of the few nice week- ends we have had this summer â€" neither too hot 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 the whim of the weather. The wheat is ripening fast and will possibly be ready to cut sometime this week. So we arc 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 here and there. No extensive damage but enough black sky to create that same fear as we watch- ed the black ominous clouds roll up . . . and then came that spirit of thankfulness after the storm when we found the wheat had not been harmed and the spring crop still bobbed and billowed in airy waves with the decreasing winds.

It was fine when I left home but as I waited for the bus another storm blew up â€" the sky got darker every minute. Finally down came the rain. All I could do was sit in the car hoping the wind would not get strong enough to carry us both away. It was an awful storm â€" 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 wdiat an interesting visit that was! Mrs. Hoey specializes in hand- blocked drapes, which she designs, dyes and prints herself. Her work is exquisite in both colour and de- sign. There was a very good write- up in the Family Herald last spring featuring her workâ€" no doubt many of you read it. 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 time â€" and always there are new designs in the making. Some mothers find it hard with young- sters around to keep up with even ordinary work â€" but Mrs. Hoey does all this and her art work too. She has two lively, adorable little girls, two and four years old just another work of art you might say â€" 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 many of us could af- ford drapes such as Mrs. Hoey makesâ€" even though her charge is actually very reasonable. However, if you really want something orig- inal and have difficulty in finding drapes that are just right for your living room Mrs. Hoey has the answer. Yes, I mean that, because you just choose any design she has on li;uul and she will make it up in any colour scheme you desire. Or for an additional charge she will even make you an exclusive design featuring 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 :t . . . and that theme would please her because she likes to specialize in art designs that arc exclusively Canadian. And for wedding presents that are different Mrs. Hoey has place mats in sets of four, or two, with table napkins to match. They wouldn't do for inc because I would be inclined to shove my plate to one side rather than have the place mat hidden from view. This, of course, i~n't nuant lo bi "sales talk."

Canada is in the 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 iniury ride with the care- less, thoughtless, discourteous, the stupid and those who are just un- lucky â€" and all their unfortunate victims. What will the pages of tisis grisly chapter tell? Will it be as shocking as last year: â€"An estimated 2,2(30 killed (1,S»4 in 1939). â€" 30,000 injured and maimed (25,104 in 1939). â€" $50 millions in property dam- age. â- â€"28 accidents per 1,000 cars (16.2 in 1939). ^Slightly more than 10 i>ersons killed for every million miles travelled. This last item is the real shocker. It makes Canadians the world's most dangerous drivers, not the Americans, as most people believe. Their ratio of death.'; w.i<; 7.7 in 1948. This years grim statistics are now in the making: in the screech of skid'ding tires; the crunch of tons of flying metal and glass com- ing together; the long pitiful parade ti the hospital operating room. Chances are the 1950 toll will be even greater than 1949. 'fhe re- cord so far seems to indicate this. Accidents in Ontario, for example, are up 34 per cent over 1949 up *o the end of March. Fatalities were lower in the first quarter tjut were up substantially in May. If these deathly statistics are too impersonal to register, maybe you can be inipresced through your pocketbook. In these days of sudden highway death, the wise motorist has ade- quate insurance. And :nsurancs rates go hand-in-hand with the fre- quency and seriousness of accid- ents. Just a quick look shows what's happened. If you have a popular ir.ake car ?nd use it for pleasure, your bill foi basic insurance this jear will read something like this: $31.64 for public liability ($25,000- fSO,000 and property damaeje $2,000) $39 for collision ($50 deductible) $7 for fire and theft. $1.11 for passenger hazard (in rase a passenger in Vojr car U hurt) The total: $88.85. Ten years ago, relatiicly the same protection cost $4890.. Here's a comparison showing the increase percentagewise in each category.

Everything connected with automobiles is higher, origi'ial price, repairs, taking a dent out of a crumpled fender; claims for personal injury. Take some basic costs: 1939 1949 Chev.

It's simply wonderful the way U acta on all foot misery, while for feet that sweat with an offensive odor, there's nothing better in the world. It's a splendid formula â€" this combina- tion of essential oil and camphor and other antiseptics so good that thousanda of twttles are sold annually to help soften up corns and callouses. The rest is for four hours labor. Th« 1939 cost of $17.79 for the lam* job included $13.70 for the new griM and $4.09 for 1.9 hours labor. Besides paying hi.gher labor cost*, it's taking longer to get work done. This is indicated by the increase in time to replace the grill and also a fender; from 3.6 hours in I93:t to 4.3 hours last year. Overall, car repair costs are 6S per cent higher than they were in 1939. But repair bills are not the onljr item that make accidents more costly. The average claim for personal injury ((and properly da.uage) it 48 per cent higher. Tfeis means higher doctor's fees, hospital costs, the amount of pay lost by an auto TJirtim, AH have risen through the years. Then, too, the number of claims, have jumped trtmendously: arounii 350 per eent over 1939 against aa increase of 200 per eent in the vol- cme o£ insurance busness. .\nd unless Canadian motorists themselves do something about their driving habits, most of these fig- ures will keep rising. â€" From The Financial Posb I didn't accuse anyone of cheat* ing: I just said I hoped they would play the hands I had dealt them.
