CHAPTER II

Terry put his purchases in the
saddlebags. He showed no haste,
no hint that he considered himself in
danger. When he had finished he
stepped back to the sidewalk and
sauntered down the street.
He passed through the courthouse
grounds to the opposite side of the
square and walked into the office of
the Logan County Gazette. Nobody
was In the front Office, but he found
the editor, Horace Garvey, setting
up an editorial in the back room.
Garvey peered at him over his
spectacles. The editor was a dried
up little man with face like parch-
ment.
"You must be crazy, Cal" Garvey
snorted. This town is on the war

1.-THE big cattlemen are bull-headed
enough to let us know Buck was
rubbed out as warning to the rest
of U.s."
When Calhoun spoke there was a
slurring drawl in his speech.
Through the slow drag of the words
a challenge lifted. Come clean,
Roam, and say yore piece. Are you
meanin' that had anything to do
with this?"
Time stood still while Afford made
up his mind.
I'm not claiming that" Afford
said at last, the sulky words coming
thickly. He had been a friend of
Calhoun Terry's father in pioneer
days. Perhaps he remembered that
during the long moment before he
spoke. "But say your friends were
in it, by God"
mo-" Terry disagreed. "They
wouldn't do that. If they wanted to
get rid of rustler they would hang
him openly"
Lee Hart lifted hand with a vio-
lent gesture.
'Meanin' that Buck was a rus
tler?" he exploded.
Meaning what I said and no
more. Don't put words in my
mouth, Lee. I never was in it." Cal
houn said. you're barking UP the
wrong tree. If / ever want to kill
a man III tell him so face to face"
He turned, with arrogant con-
tempt, and settled with Evans for
the supplies he had bought.
He pushed between Afford and
Turley and walked out of the store.
They watched him go, man strong
and virile, too sure of himself to
look back and make certain that one
of those he had infuriated would not
shoot him IL the back.

Terry. Maybe you could put name
to him."
Calhoun's patience was wearing
thin. 1t was known that he let go of
his temper only rarely, but when he
did someone was likely to get hurt.
Better go home and think that
over, Hart" he advised very quiet
ly. You're not quite yourself to-
day. I'll not hold you accountable
for what you say"
The storekeeper spoke up. That's
right, Lee. You've had heavy
blow. We all sympathize with you.
Don't make a mistake before you
have thought this over"
Hart waved him aside. You're
not in this, Evans. Keep out of it.
Pm telling Mr.. Terry that the man
or the men who killed my brother
have got to reckon with me-"
"And I'm telling you," the ranch
superintendent replied CURLY, that
you're making fool of yourself, for
all I know of your brothers death Is
what you've told me yourselves.
Jack Turley spoke, for the first
time He was a big broad-shoul-
dered man with a long reach Of
wel-muscled limb. The nose in his
leathery brown face had been bro
ken by a pitching horse.
1.-THE killer left a note pinned on
Bucks coat" he said evenly. 'It
claimed he was killed because he
was a rustler."
THAT proves nothing" Calhoun
said quickly. Except that the guilty
man was trying to cover his tracks
and put it on someone else"
1--WE think different" Roam Afford
contradicted, anger riding his voice.

The Drop in Color
The big drop from the Golden Age
to 1941 comes In the matter of color
Those stars of the Golden Age
not only had unusual ability, but
they had a fare and flame that
travelled around the world. They
caught and held the public eye. They
drew crowds that had no interest In
the sport they featured.
Thousands, who had no interest in
horse race, came out to see Man

Fighting Bird

One of the most powerful of all
birds, and able to fly long dis
tances, the great skua is seldom
caught, but dead specimen has
been presented to the museum at
the Smithsonian Institute in Wash
ington. 1t was brought down in
the Atlantic. The skua lives on
penguins' eggs and chicks, and
scores Of half-eaten birds may be
seen near the sites of penguin col
onies during the Matching season.
A famous British aircraft is
named after the fierce, killing
skua.

What Is Color?

Some deep bass voice may be
heard booming these words at this
spot, "Just what is color?"
It is difficult word to explain.
It is a combination of high-class
ability, plus certain other qualities
that cause talk-qualities that catch
and hold the attention of the crowds.
The color exuded by Babe Ruth
and Bobby Jones was of different
brands-entirely different-but both
had it in copious quantities. The
same was true of Jack Dempsey and
Bill Tilden.
Color doesn't mean a f1awless,
perfect character. Often it may
mean the opposite. John L. Sulli-
van, for example, was the first Of
the colorful figures of American
sport. His fame as a fighter has hard
" diminished since the time when he
ruled the ring for so many years.
Today you win find too many fine
mechanical players, about whom lit
tie is known or discussed outside Of
action. They only make the head
lines when they play. Their private
live are closed books. Why shouldn't
they be? o. K. But it isn't color.

Bored Doing Nothing.
'My trouble is that I am bored

No Answer.
No, won't make my answer toe
moral, Anna, for I shan't answer
you at all. A letter like this from a
supposedly intelligent woman, in
these times, deserves no answer.
But I may say in passing that to
ninety-nine out of every hundred
women in the world, circumstances
like Annals would seem a dream OF
Heaven itself. There are millions
tens of nillions-of Chinese and
East Indian women who could never
rise even to imagine such heights
of security and happiness. There
are other millions of women today
whose hearts are breaking over lost
homes, destroyed possessions, the
agonizing need of food and shelter
for small bewildered children when
there are food and shelter nowhere
to be found.
So these are not times for any
woman to yawn drearily at the bore

bles, solve your own
~ problem, and lift just one
more load off the fearful sum-
total of the worlds griefs!"
That's what everyone is going
to be saying to everyone else this
year, so take warning, and don't
expose yourself unnecessarily to
a rebuff that may hurt your feel
ings. For unless we all do our
best, morally, mentally and
physically, to combat the mortal
illness of the good, kindly old
earth, we have fallen upon evil
days indeed.
So don't complain about debts,
taxes, soaring expenses and an in
fiated cost of living, for these are
common to us all. Pay your bills,
move into smaller quarters, watch
the family health with an unceasing
vigilance, stop useless extrava-
gances-even if that only means
taxi fares, chocolate bars, birthday
cards, glass candlesticks and a spe-
cial plate for the dogs dinner
shorten sail generally. Don't tell
everyone how things have changed,
for they have changed for everyone,
and what we'n want to hear now is
good news, not bad.
Talk CourageousIy.
Even if the light of your life, the
dear tumble-headed boy who was
struggling with homework and chat
tering Scout gossip few years ago,
even if he's gone away from home
for while, don't make a martyr OF
yourself Realize that million 9TH
er mothers are suffering the same
helpless agonies, and that wars are
made by man, not God, and that
consequently we are responsible for
them. It is for us to work against
the next war, and all wars, rather
than to bewail the perfectly natural
result of our folly in supposing that
any war will ever end war.
Every woman you meet in the next
few months is going to do one thing
or another to you. She is going to
depress you almost to the suicide
point or she is going to give you
message, conscious or unconscious,
of hope and courage. She is going
to retail for your benefit all the
changes and discomforts that have
gone on in her own intimate circle,
the expenses and taxes, her longing
for her absent boy, and the general
misery of the world. Or she is 60
ing to give you sensible, coura-
geous report on a family that has
met changing conditions CALAMITY
and learned to live on new terms.
A New National Loyalty Awakes.
There are going to be lots of things
we don't like about it, and surpris-
ingly there will be lots of things we
do. If there is an awakening of new
national loyalty, new unity of feel
ing among us all, it will be pure
gain. Whatever happens in Europe,
and whether we get further involved
in the war or whether some sudden
peace is patched up over there, we
are going to face one more American
crisis at home, and we have to
meet it with the strength of charac-
ter that is our proudest heritage,
and live through it to happier times.
Which makes it all the more
amazing to receive, as I did few
days ago, letter like the following.
It comes from Pennsylvania wom-
an, a college graduate, a member
of a privileged group.

mis-.
All these I've mentioned caught
the imagination of millions. Of
many millions.
In this machine age there is al
most no touch of colorful tinting.
They knew all about Man o. War,
Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth and Bob
by Jones on the other side of the
world. Also Hagen and Tilden.
The most colorful champion we
have in sport today is Whirlaway,
horse. He wins and he loses-he
may be trifie on the goofy side,
but he has caught the attention of
the country.
He can run like the wind and he
can run any distance. His main
qualities are speed and stamina.
What else can you ask for? Once
he started to move he was 20 lengths
better than anything in the Derby
field. Under the same conditions he
was able to pick up and add 25
lengths on King Cole in the Freak
ness.
Since Man o. War quit as a three
year-old, short career, there is a
chance that Whirlaway may go on
to be the top horse of all time.
And few horses have carried as
much human interest color, no mat
ter what their careers. The long,
wide-spreading Whirlaway tail alone
is something to look at and talk
about.
