Now a voice, the drunken voice of Alb. Abbot, raised in a growling roar, came to the list- eners. ? "Fifteen thousand is too much, Blake. Webb Winter's hide ain't worth more than a thousand. That Texan's scalp is worth less. I got 1 mind to do the job myscli" "Then hop to it," théy heard Joe Blake's snarl, "Take to 'em, Abbot. Then see what'll happen to "you.

"Make Abbot." Silence now, there in the house. Webh nudged "Tex as they waited. 'er out, Webh's temper was---at a white heat now. Tex was gripping his gripping arm. "Take 'er easy, Webb," whis- pered the tall Texan. "We'll be wantin' that paper." "Yes.™ Webb's whisper was tense. "We'll wait, pardner.", Over at the bunkhouse somebody had lighted a lantern. Ab Abbot worked his men from before dawn until dark. The Triangle outfit was waking up. ------ Se Then out of the night there came the sound of a horse ap- proaching. A rider was coming. Webb's six-shooter was in his hand. "Watch the front door, Tex. I'll slip around back. I'll come in that way. If they make. a break for the front door, let em have it. I don't know who that is comin', but 1 smell somethin' wrong." Webb and Tex were not the only ones who heard the sound of shod hoofs. Inside the house Ab Abbot's voice, cursing, came to Webb and _ the Texan. : : - "Trouble comin', Blake. Git fixed. I'll let him in, whoever he is. You hide behind that sofa. You know what to do." Tex tightened his grip on, Webb's arm. His voice hissed into Webb's ear. "That ain't -a Hoot-Owl rider. Better lay low till we read his brand, then we'll know who we're up against. He's ridin' straight to ~the house--Watch--when--he passes that lighted window at the bunk- house. Then we kin tell who it is." The rider, "travelling at a long, swinging trot, passed across the light thrown by the unshaded bunk- house window. "It's a feller with his face band- aged," whispered Tex. "It's Hank Roberts," breathed_ Webb. "They'll kill him; Tex." "I-teckon not. Easy, feller. Know the location -of that sofa?" "It's next to the fireplace. To the right of the door as you go in" Loan vou got to do, then, is handle Abbot. Blake is my meat. Come on!" - Even as Sheriff Hank Roberts rode up to the big log 'house, he saw the door shoved open. In a split second saw the lanky form of Tex, a gun in his hand, there in the ighted doorway. He caught 'a brief glimpse of Webb Winters and of big Ab Abbot, inside. Then came the roar of a gun and dark- ness. Darkness, save for the flash of guns. ~Hank Roberts was off his horse; his gun 'in his hand. He moved across the porch, toward the front door that was open. From the bunkliouse came the sounds of men yelling confusedly. The bunkhouse light went sud- denly dark. Men were running in the darkness. Now came the pounding of shod hoofs. A wild high-pitched yelp, like the "yapping of a coyote, sounded, ane men on horseback thundered toward the bunkhouse. Guns spat fire, The Hoot-Owl had arrived. Hank Roberts felt helpless, use: less, powerless to stop that war ;that had so quickly burst into flame. He crouched there -against the log wall, gripped by indecision, No use to blunder into that house: where guns were blazing, His oné and only bet was to wait. From inside the hoiuse that had been plunged into darkness when Tex had shot out the light, there came the sounds .of !'a furious struggle.

Many . things, of course, but be assured that ranking high among them is boredom in a' normally spirited youngster. "He can let off steam and get the excitement he craves, for in- stance, by heaving a rock through a window and running like blazes; or he can let off steam by throwing a baseball around and running the bases. "He can get -excitement, in swap- ping ~unwholesome yarns in the alley. But we offer him an adven- ture movie in the park, in the com: pany of many others of his age. "He can seek his excitement by stealing and petty misdemeanors. But we try to teach him the job of using his own hands to, build, and using his talents to create. "He can play the upstart street- corner wolf.

We 8 Un After thirty years:-of farming you "would think, there" was very little left to learn; wery few things that had not been tried; hardly any experience peculiar to farming that' had: not come our way. But that supposition 'would be entirely wrong. There is always something, 'new under the sun when it comes to- farming-in fact' you have to move fast these days to keep up with all the modern methods. ! For years thé farmers in this dis- trict, including oursgl¥és, have done their haying the hard way--cutting, raking, - coiling--pitching it on. to + the wagon with a pitchifork or by means of hayloader. Drawing it into the. bard,. load after load; hitching horses or tor on to the hay-fork; dun ld ¢ hay into the 'mow -- "and then salting and levelling each load. After each load out came the men from the barn wiping sweat-begrimed "brows. 'A . hurried trip. to; the:pump +, . . long draughts of clear, cold water, which somehow, on a hot day, never seemed to quench the thirst or cool the blood. Out again for another load . . . and then the same thing all over again--all day, and every day as long as there is hay in the field and the weather holds good. But now, if-you farm the modern way, what happens? You do as we did last week, in common with - many of our neighbors. You cut your hay with a tractor and power mower--and you go on cutting un- til the whole field is down. After it has cured®a bit you rake it into winrows with a side-livery rake. Your hay is now ready for the _ baler.. You watch the skies fearfully | __ wondering which will get there first--the rain or the baling ma- chine. Sometimes you hit it lucky, sometimes you don't. Eventually the machine moves in, goes up and down the field with as much ease as the man on the flying trapeze, _ picking up hay, packing it together, tying it into bundles and dumping | each bale when completed out on | to the field. In a few hours your hay is ready for the barn and can be packed away in the mow as n¢at - _as you please. 3 It is a good way to handle hay when there is a shortage .of man- powcr id in some cases does away with the necessity of hiring an ex-. tra man for a month--and incident- ally paying and feeding him--that is; supposing you can get a man when you want him. But yet, in haying the modern way there is. something lacking. Hiring a pick-up baler to help take care of things takes away much of the color and romance of farming. Look back over the years. ... Re- member the fun of bringing in the hay? In those days sometimes mother used to help so that often the whole family was out in the hayfield. Mary was 'as proud as punch when she was allowed to drive the horses onthe wagon and Johnny thought he was quite-a man when he could really build a level load like dad. And then you rode home atop the load; you took off your hat and let the cool breezes fan your hair. The hay was warm and sweet-smelling and. you buried yourself in it as you approached the barn, fearful lest the beam over the doorway catch the top of your head. It was hard work but yet there was something about it that more than compensated for all the work. Don't you think the rising gener- ation among farm children are go- ing to miss a lot of fun if hay-bal- ing becomes general -- and 1 haven't a doubt but what it will. It is only natural that it should be-' cause having his hay baled is & way" * L frat NT out for the ever-tired and over- worked older man, For the younger _ man jt ties in with the moderm -trend of attacking any job that has to be done with the greatest pos- sible speed, Get it done and out of the way--and on' with the next job! Farming these days is something like driving a car, The days of pleasure driving are over--in most cases the purpose of a car is to get you from one place to another. So with farming -- much of the -to- mance -is 'one. Time was when the "siderable - pleasure in theif work. Now the main idea is to get the work done as quickly' as possible in order to find pleasure elsewhere. Of course I am generalizing. Ac- tually there is nothing to stop any- one staying home and finding "pleasure on his own farm. Even as I have been writing, an unexpected pleasure came my way. I suddenly spotted a bird which I have been trying to locate for days--I was at- tracted by his shrill bird-call. My book tells me this bird is a Yellow- bellied sapsucker--about the size of a robin; red head and throat, three-cornered black patch on breast, merging to ycllow-buff. Wings rusty-black and white. It is a wonderful thing to find a strange bird and be able to discover its identity. Upside down to prevent peeking.
