SHARP CHAPTER FIVE (Continued from last week) "Take care of her, Ma," said the »heriff, his voice coining thickly through the bandages on his face. "I'll 'tend to Abbot." Ab Abbot and Joe Blalte were pushing their liorses hard. They cursed one another as they rode. ".Ain't I told you not to monkey with that girl, .Xbbot?" snarled Joe Hlake. "Vou tliinkin' she was stuck on you. -As if any purty girl would he stuck on a big liunk of red taller like you. .And you talked aplenty I bet after you got drunk. She leads you along, then busts out through the window." He chuckled. .\b Abbot cursed liini back. "She was eatin' outa my hand when you busted into the game.

Dropped him the first shot, and in a bad light, too. One sheriff less, and the Hoot-Owl Pool gits the blame. We'd be sittin' on the world if you hadn't made a fool of yourself over that girl. I bet you offered to marry her." "Supposin' I did? She jumped at it like a trout after a fly. He was goin' to elope. She never liked Bob Anderson. She hates Webb Winters. But she shore fell like a ton of bricks for Ab .'\bbot and the Triangle outfit. It ain't every hash slingcr that gets the chance to marry a million.

Blake, how much is it worth to you to git Webb Winters?" ' "Make an offer." "Five hundred." "Five thousand sounds better. Ab." "Vou gone ioco?" "No. I'm just begimiin' to git wise. I don't like that Hoot-Owl Pool. I'm figgerin' on quittin' the country. South America bound. Five thousand does it. And I'll sell you my outfit cheap. I'll throw in the old woman and kids. She'll make you a good cook when you fetch home your blushin' bride. Five thousand for Webb Winters' hide. Ten thousand for my outfit, lock, slock and barrel." Ab .'Vbbot laughed coarsely. He wanted Webb Winters killed. He wanted the Scissor-Bill Pool brok- en. He likewise wanted the Hoot- Owl Pool smashed. "Put tliat damned Tex where he belongs and I'll call the bet, Blake. That Hoot-Owl Pool has got to go. I'll make it fifteen thousand for Winters, Tex, and your outfit. Take your squaw and your breed brats with you to hell and gone. Take that or leave it." "If I git caught?" "That'll be your sorrow, Blake. You and me are supposed to be enemies." "Fifteen thousand. Cash money?" "Cash money, Blake, but it ain't laid on the line till VVeJjb Winters and that Texan are planted." A bottle passed between them. They rode to the Triangle ranch together in the starlight. The agreement had been made. "Webb," said Tcx as the two men rode through the night, "I reckon you know now tliat it wasn't any Hoot-Owl Pool man that shot the sheriflf. Vs boys ain't bushwhackers." "Hell, yes." "It was either Ab Abbot or Joe Blake that shot old Hank. That's a cinch." Tex made Webb stop at a small ranch. There the lanky Texan bathed and bandaged Webb's wounds and poured the injured cowboy stiff drinks of whiskey. The delay galled Webb but he knew that he could not ride on without some sort of medical attention. It was in the dark hour before dawn that they reached the Tri- angle. There was no sign of life at the barn. They slipped inside. The in- terior of the big barn was pitch black. Webb risked lighting a match. By its brief light he saw two sweat-marked horses. One of the horses was Ab Abbot's top circle horse. The other horse wore Joe Blake's brand. Tex was exam- ining the saddles that lay near the front of the barn. (Continued next week) A Real Summer Refresher â€" Iced Tea â€" Double strength tea can be poured directly over ice in glasses or the tea can be pre- pared in advance in quantity for use when needed. To make two quarts of iced tea pour a pint of boiling water over six heaping teaspoons of tea. or six tea bags. Brew for five minutes and strain into a two-quart container. Then fill the container with cold water and store in the refrigerator.

She has a lovely old home with a nice garden com- plete with shade trees and shrubs. W'e wandered around admiring the flowers â€" it was all very beautiful. And then I happened to notice that right across from the front of her house and garden the only view was the backyard of a factory â€" with new construction work even then in progress. Without think- ing I said â€" rather tactlessly I ad- mit â€" "Oh what a shame you have that factory in front of you!" My friend immediately answered â€" "Mrs. Clarke, I never see it!" I looked at her in admiration as I admitted in reply â€" "No, I don't believe you do." I knew she was telling the truth â€" it wasn't just something to say. I was sure of it because I know her to be a woman of great courage who has had more than her share of sorrow. Yet there is not a trace of self-pity. She has not lost interest in life, in people, or in what goes on around her; much of her life is spent in doing kindly things for other folk. She loves beauty and refuses to see that which is ugly. So she works in her garden among the flowers and shrubs, loving the fragrance of the roses and peonies, and the brightness of the gaillardias, and she refuses to look beyond her gar- den to the ugliness of the factory buildings, an ugliness which she cannot change. Instead, by turning ever so slightly towards the west she can look over and get a grand view of "The Mountain" where sun and shadow chase each other in quick succession across the wooded heights. Needless to say this friend ot mine has a gracious and kindly dis- position â€" 1 have yet to hear of her speaking ill of anyone â€" and she also has a wonderful capacity for bring- ing people together â€" maybe just two people formerly strangers to one another, or perhaps a group of CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROS.'J I Seiwecd K.

In these days of stress and uncertainty she is a person one finds it restful to meet. « • * .Another place 1 went to â€" to pick up strawberries for canning â€" was a fine old farmhouse. There I saw something that I thought was really unique. Tlie original dwelling had been demolished â€" all except the old brick chimney which in years gone by had served its purpose in carrying away smoke from its old-fashioned fireplace â€" the kind one sees in so many old farm- houses, where great pine stumps were burnt to heat the rooms â€" we have one right here in our dining-room, boarded up of course. On this farm I visited, the fireplace and its tall chimney looked like a cairn in the distance â€" quaint and arre!^ting, .\\ present it is more or less in a rough condition but the lady of the house told me they intend to fi.t it up and use it for corn roasts, picnics and weiner roasts. So there you are, friends, if you have an old house that you intend tearing down think twice before you completely demolish the chiiiincy â€" especially if there are chil- dren ill your family, because chil- dren and picnics belong together. Incidentally such a relic could be fixed up into a fine barbecue. * « « Well, I haven't a doubt a good many folk have been following the recommendations for old age pen- sions â€" without a means test â€" which have been presented to the Federal house. This should be particularly interesting to farm people whose income has a way of dwindling in proportion to their ability to work. Under the existing laws a farmer must be practically desti- tute before he is eligible for a pen- sion â€" if he owns a farm he can- not get it at all. And yet if a farmer is too old or infirm to keep up a productive farm then the very property he owns becomes a mill- stone around his neck. But if the mcars test is abolished then every aging fanner can look forward to a little something to eke out his income â€" and with that in view he can afford to take a chance by renting his farm or turning it over to the young folk. If, on the other hand, he has managed to accumu- late a little capital over the years, and still applies for the pension, no one need get the idea that he is "putting it over the government" because it would all go back in income ta.x. The same thing applies if those who have no need for it participate in the baby bonus. With any of these government schemes it generally works out that what you make on the roundabouts you lose on the swings. * * ♦ But, oh dear, what a time the women will ha\e! I wonder how many women will refuse to apply for the pension rather than admit they are old enough to be eligible: That i>, if and when, it comes into being.

So here we are â€" "A thousand miles from home I "I didn't want to come in the first place. I've never been this far from my mother. I'll only get to see her once or twice a year, and I'm already so homesick I don't know what to do. (I'm 19.) ."My husband told me if I didn't like it here, we would move back. But now he refuses to go home with me, and says if I go he wants a divorce, "I love my husband, and I've tried to feel at home here. But I just don't like leaving my mother.

A period of transition is always a time of testing. Samuel, the last of the judges of Israel, saw the people change from this type of government to a monarchy. They had no fault to find with Samuel. Said they, "Thou hast not defraud- ed us, nor oppressed us .neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand." Unfortunately, "his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment." The people said, "Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations." God spoke to Samuel, "They have not re- jected thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not rule over them." Samuel proceeded to establish a monarchy, though warning them of the increased taxes that would en- sue. When he stepped aside from the leadership, he said, "God for- bid that 1 should sin against the Lord iu ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and right way." Not everyone steps down from leadership with such graciousness. A nation is no greater than its leaders. Leaders ought to be de- vout men who prize God's favor above the people's applause. They ought to be examples of godliness in their private lives. In public policy they ought to act upon those principles that will tend to the moral upbuilding of the nation. God will bless the nation which has such leaders. * duct yourself with dignity and * intelligence.
