versation, was when she address
ed the man as Daddy" Her
voice was the sweetest, most mel
odious and gentle of any he had
ever heard.
In his twenty-one years Tom
had seen and heard a few women
outside of his own family, but
now he was experiencing a GER
tain something over the sight
and sound of this girl whom he
had never known before. He
wanted to turn a little to the left
and look straight at her. But he
did not dare to do that, lest he
appear rude which was the last
thing on earth he wished to do
concerning this beautiful, lovely
voiced creature.
Ten minutes later, Tom saw
Captain Marsh for the first time
since the Sioux Lady had left
Sandy Hook. The captain was
coming toward them from the
forward part of the boat. AS he
neared them, the girl stood close
to Tom looking over the rail
into the moving current. Her es-
cort's back was to the rail, so he,
too, noticed the approach of the
captain.
The captain spoke first and di-
rected his remark to the portly
gentleman who accompanied the
young lady.
"Well, Nose, I see you have
your partner out taking in the
sunshine. Is she homesick YETI"
Turning on the heel of her
very new, buttoned shoe, the girl
in question answered that softly.
"No, Captain Marsh, l am not
homesick, and I told you that
am not going to be either"
"Atta girlw laughed the cap
tain. "Where you are going is no
place for homesick girls and any
way you are going to help your
father. If you were homesick you
wouldn't be much assistance to
him."

passing. However, all of this
while he was studying and OBJ
serving the different types of
people on the boat. They were
on an endless parade around the
lower deck, passing him. Tom
was not familiar with many class
es of people, but his God-given
horse sense told him that he was
among many different classes
there. Most of the men wore
mustaches, and among many
were also boards, of every cut
and shape. The plug hat was
much in evidence with caps run
ming a close second. Now and
then a big, slouchy, broad brim-
med hat appeared, as also a few
fancy ones of various descrip-
tons. The ration of women to
men aboard ran about one to
ten. A few children were making
the trip, too.
The majority of the women
were well dressed. Particularly
among them Tom noticed one of
about twenty years of age. She
was about five feet tall, slightly
built and crowned with the most
beautiful red hair he had ever
seen. Her neat black and white
dress was covered with a very
fancy knitted shawl. He had also
noticed that the girl was with a
man who was at least twice her
age. He was a stocky, well dress
ed man, whose hair and mustache
were slightly grayed. He had no
beard.
Another thing that Tom observ-
ed was that several of the boats
crew, including First Mate Carl
son, had stopped and conversed
with this young woman and her
companion. All were unusually
polite to the pretty titan haired
girl.

port side of the boat with his
rifle strung over his left shout
der. All this while cord wood was
being piled on the boat. He was
wrapped deep in thought. He
was thinking back through the
years and of the many occur
rences in life. Although he was
twenty-one and a man, the things
foremost in his mind were his
parents, his Nom and Pop as he
called them. They had done well
by him, as well at least as they
could have done with what they
had. He had gone as far in school
as most of the other young peo-
pie of his locality. That wasn't
far, but he could read, write and
spell and do the multiplication
tables. He was as good a horse
man as there was in the country.
He could handle an ak with the
best Of them, and with firearms
he was tops. He, no doubt linger-
ed a little longer than usual in
his thoughts of some of his out
standing experiences with a rifle
and a six-gun. There was the
time when he was twelve years
old at a turkey shoot at Lacota.
There were many ways at tur-
key shoots to have them run off,
but the one at Lacota was what
they called head off" Each
shooter paid fifty cents a shot
The mark was a turkey in box,
fifty yards away. The turkeys
head stuck out at the side. The
shooter could use any single bull
let firearm. The turkey must be
hit in the head and not over
four inches from the top. Some
times a goodly number of shots
were fired before a head was
clipped, for a turkeys head fifty
yards away was real competition
for the best of riflemen. Toms
father had bought two shots for
him. Tom stood around with his
hands in his pockets and wished
he could shoot again. Just then
Mayce Hall, from down the creek,
came up.
Hey, son, I'll pay for four shots
and give you half you can make"
Tom glanced at his dad and re-
ceiving a nod of approval, said
sure" The first of his shots
almost cut the turkeys throat.
But the rules were, that as long
as the bird could hold his head
up, he had not been won.
That's a hit, but not a kill"
yelled the scorer, next shooter"
Among the three individuals
who shot following Tom, the third

A new turkey was placed in

Tom stepped up, took quick
aim, and at the crack of the
rifle the targets head fell limp.
That made two out of four shots
for him and two shots to 60. That
second turkey had brought Toms

hut on his next round he hit his
third bird squarely in the eye.
This caused the manager of the
shoot to say, so that everybody
could hear, "Oh, hell! There's
something wrong here. That kid

these men around here. want
10 see that rifle loaded next
time" Following this, there were
words said which could not be
called fighting words, but on
the other hand they were not
taken as appropriate for the oc-
casion. When Tom was called for
his fourth shot, sure enough, the
manager of the shoot came for
ward and demanded to see the
gun loaded. Mayce Hall stepped
up.
"What the hell's the matter,
can't you take ii? What yuh think

"Well, yuh just seen 1t, didn't

too good about the whole affair.
"Yeh, saw it all right, but ]

"A bet" came back the fluster'

The money was put up and Tom
was told he could shoot.
Take your time, son, and bust

one," promped the Dad in a low
voice, standing behind his son.
Tom knew that he was sitting
on a hot spot and was as calm as
a summers eve. He walked out
to the mark, raised his rifle, took
aim and fired. Before the scorer
had time to yell, Hit" ninety

for a mile, "He did IT," Yes, this
was one thing Tom was thinking

short time which il took to fin

passed.
The first realization that he
was really on his way up the
river came to Tom when he heard
the steamboats, whistle blow, and
saw the platform moving away
from him. Then he also realized
that Frank Mckenzie was calling
him.

'T'll be SEEM yeh," called back
Tom, as he raised his right hand
in a regular hill country salute.

Tom never moved from the stand

that he could get a look at the

During the time the captain
was extoIling the character of

of determination stand out in
Toms whole makeup. He was not

Tom picked up his rifle and

where his mate, Carlson, and
crew were piling cord wood onto
the afterdeck.

The Soviet note of August
%, 1861, is clearly but one more
step in a deliberate campaign
Of deception and attempted
intimidation designed to dis
tract attention from failures of
the Soviet government and to
heighten world tensions.
The charges and allegations
contained in this note with
respect to the United States
and its allies are false, as the
Soviet government well knows.
That such statements should
be made with respect to &C
ttyities in the three Western
sectors Of Berlin at the very
moment when the Soviet gov
eminent is sealing off the east
ern sector Of the city is an act
Of cynicism and responsibility.
This act is also a direct viola
ton of the Soviet governments
commitment to the economic
and political unity of Germany
and the pledged word of the
Soviet government to cooper
ate with the Allied government
to mitigate the effects of the
administrative division of Ger
many and Berlin by facilita-

that somehow the Soviet gov

The peaceful commitment to
freedom of the people Of West

onstrated more plainly than
in recent days. Moreover, it is
strange that the Soviet gov
eminent should protest

the identity of East Berlin with
East Germany.
These charges and allega-

The United States must serve

be an aggressive act for the
consequences of which the So
