whipered. 'Listen!"
She listened. The coughing
was still going on. We crept
out Of bed and tiptoed to the
bedroom window. The cough
ing was coming from the
other side Of a hedge that
ran near the house. Obviously
the intruders were hiding be-
hind the hedge.
Miriam clutehed me. Get
a gun" she whispered.
What gun?" I snarled
hoarsely. 'I don't have a gun.
You won't let me have one in
the house."
That's right" she ac-
knowledged, shivering. II

"I'll phone Billy" I said.
I was shaking so hard I could
scarcely dial. and. of course,
it took 10 rings to awaken
Billy. I told him what was
wrong and he said he'd hurry
right over with his shotgun
as soon as he could slip on
his trousers.
ReScuer Arrives
Waiting for Billy was tor
tuous. Miriam and ! expected
to be taken by storm at any
second. But in less than two
minutes we heard Billy's
footsteps coming up the path
from his cottage. The cough
ing and rustling along the
hedges ceased suddenly. I
turned on the light outside
the kitchen door and stepped
out, clad in robe and slip
pers.
Where are they?" Billy
asked. Under his right arm
was a formidable double
barreled shotgun.
"Over there" I pointed to
the hedge. He moved toward
the hedge slowly, and ! was
so close behind that I bumped
into the butt of the gun. BE
careful with the gum" I
whispered.
"Oh, don't mind that gum"
Billy said in a loud stage
whisper. "It amt loaded"
THIS BIT OF NEWS
floored me, particularly the
way he announced it to the
countryside. But at that pre-
else moment a loud cough
made me Jump. Billy peered
over the hedge. Sheep" he
said.
"What?"
Sheep. Bout a dozen ewes
and a ram. They cough just
like us humans. Forgot to tell
you-I brung them up to a
field near here late this aft
ernoon, fer to Craze, and
they musta wandered out
and over here" He scratched
his head, looked at me,
grinned and said: Looks

My mother-in-law came
over here with a wedding
band to match mine for her
son! I asked her If I couldn't
pay for it and she wouldn't
let me. Are mothers buying
their sons wedding bands
these days, Abby? I am so
hurt over this, if it weren't
for the children, I'd pack up

me fast.

to tell his mother respect

he won't do this, then face

THE COIJNCU'S VIEW
We get the impression that
Kenneth has been pushed
out of the picture in relation
to bringing up his son and it
has taken this crisis to bring
him back where he belongs
as a father. He certainly has
every right to assert himself.
Possibly it was the "wal-

One Sunday afternoon we
piled into our battered jeep
to count the cattle in the far
fields. Ny wife Miriam and
I were in the front seat with
Billy Smoot, our farm fore
man: in the back Of the jeep
were Billy's pretty wife
Helen and all the children.
We were driving near the
fenceline, on our property but
near the county gravel road,
when an ancient black sedan
drove slowly along the road,
filled with young toughs.
Since Billy didn't recognize
any Of them, we reasoned
that they were from the
hinterlands of another coun-
ty - Sunday drivers" out
looking for a fight.
TWO OF THE MEN, one
with a whiskey bottle in his
hand. jumped out of their
sedan and started over to-
ward our sputtering jeep.
Billy, who has had his share
Of bouts and has a high bat
ting average. started to stop
the motor and leap out, but
I stopped him. Don't get
them started" I told him.
Let's just turn around as if
we don't see them and head
for home, huh?"
Have to be mighty fuzzy
eyed not to see EN-" said
Billy, but he dutifully turned
the jeep around and we re-
turned to the farm house.
The sedan crept along our
fenceline awhile and then dis
appeared along some woods.
Later that evening the
SmootS came over to the
house. Helen brought her gui-
tar and sang old folk songs in
her clear. sweet voice. It
wasn't television entertain
ment, but it was real and un-
rugged and unrehearsed and
very pleasant. The Smoots
went home about 8. o'clock
and we went to bed about an
hour later.
Midnight Alarm
1t must have been midnight
that something awakened me.
I listened but could hear
nothing unusual. Just as I
was doing of again I heard
it-coughing, a few feet from
the urSt-noor bedroom my
wife and I occupy.
The coughing stopped in a
kind Of muffled sound, as if
