We comprise an “infuriating, pathetic" country where "steakcrazed” people have "atrocious” manners" and the women are “poorly dressed”. The same individual traveled 3,000 miles on S2BO and is quite an authority. Presume he will write a bestseller on the retarded culture of ~ those who have so often bailed out the Isles. Let us hope that he does not reflect the thinking of all the Britishers. O O An interesting question is being raised by the mid-West farmer. Is the expanding American economy, in providing higher income, becoming too rich for pork? “The demand for pork over the years appears to have decreased relative to the demand for other meats,” says a University of Illinois professor jn a recent study. It seems that competition afforded by ready-cooked meats and meals in addition to lessened need for high-energy diets due to the change in types of physical re, quirements for today’s laboring man, all tend to lower pork consumption. The Corn Belt farmers are watching this trend and are making the necessary adjustments.

WHAT IS HAPPENING Will Beeson is telling the stow. He lives en the Box P Ranch in Easter Valley in frontier Colorado with Joe and Sarah Pardee. They took him in, a homeless, hungry kid, seven, years back. Will, having the deepest affection for the Pardees, is distressed by the bitterness between Joe and his wife. Sarah, who has lived in a wheel chair since an accident. Joe resists Sarah's efforts to curb his aggressiveness against persons who challenge his domination of Easter Valley and particularly against settlers who try to claim land there. On this morning Will is riding with Joe Pardee and Gene Dillingham, another of Joe's eowhands. Gene idolizes Joe and hates Sarali because at her bitterness toward Joe. The three men are headed for trouble at Carlton. where Beam has talked of a showdown with Pardee. Joe stops briefly at the house of a neighbor. Kathy Morgan, while Will ana Gene go on into Carlton. They find a group of newcomer farmers encamped there, awaiting the duel expectantly. Will suddenly realises that Beam has been hired to kill Joe. the principal obstacle to new settlement in the valley. Dillingham, enraged, orders the campers to clear out of town in an hour. When Joe arrives and confronts Al Beam, his gun is fast, but slower than Beam's. Crszy with issjs?wx»® jus his last words to Win: "Promise me you'll lake care of Kathy." CHAPTER 4 EVERYONE in the valley came to Joe's funeral, even Kathy Morgan. She stood by herself, away from the others, crying all through the service. Sarah, sitting in her wheel chair at the graveside, didn’t shed a tear. I couldn't telk by looking at her whether she felt sorrow or not Dillingham looked stunned. I suppose 1 did, too. I was surprised to And I didn’t feel intense grief, although I’m sure my emotions were not like Sarah's. I had loved Joe Pardee; I had respected him; yet he wasn’t a man whose death brought piercing sorrow, I thought about that as the preacher talked, searching my heart and feeling a little guilty. Joe couldn’t have beefi censured for any of his killings. The men who had come here had known the risks they were taking. Unlike the farmers who hired Al Beam, Joe had never dodged an obligation by hiring someone else to take his place. I kept turning over in my mind the discovery I’d made about Joe. With all of his virtues, he lacked one important quality: pity. I’d never given it a thought while he was alive, but now I realized he’d been a hard, driving man suffering from an overpowering sense of duty. Looking back across the years I’d lived here and worked with him, I couldn’t remember a time when he had Shown genuine sympathy for another man’s trouble. I was aware that the service was over when Gene Dillingham came to me and said, ’Tell the ranchers 1 want to see them before they go, Will.” | I told them, cleVcn men ranging I from Alec Dodson, whose Anchor was the biggest spread in the country, on down to the little ten-cow poverty outfits in the arid south half of the valley.

the corrals, I saw that Dillingham had escorted Kathy to her rig. 1 glanced towaid the house just as Dogbone was pushing Sarah's chair up the ramp beside the steps. She had completely ignored Kathy, but that, I told myself, was exactly what Kathy must have expected. - - - —; .. Dodson walked- along, his head down, and presently he said: "It'll be real bad now. There ain’t a man in the valley who can do what Joe done.” “That’s right," I said. We walked across the dusty yard to where the other ranchers stood, the air still and hot, the sun swinging down toward the Sangre de Cristo range. Then Dillingham came striding toward : us with his rolling, bowlegged walk. •— “I won’t take more’n a minute 1 boys," he said. “Just seemed to | me we’d best decide something 1 while we're together. It ain’t no secret that Joe was responsible for this valley being what it is. Soon as the farmers hear they 1 don't have to buck him no more, they’ll be back here by the hun- ■ dreds.” “I don’t think so," Dodson said. “Not till spring, anyhow.” • Dillingham glowered at him. • Though Dodson wasn't an aggres- ’ sive man, the fact that he owned the Anchor made him important, I and Dillingham couldn’t very well ■ ignore him. Gene said: “I Agger i we can’t, take no chances. 1 ain’t • a owner, but I reckon the widow’ll • ask me to rod this outfit, seeing as I’ve been here a long time and i know the way Joe operated; but that ain’t the point Joe done a job. The least we can do is to go t on doipg it He was president ' of the Easter Valley Cattlemen’s Association as long as I’ve been I around here. Well, we’d better get i another one before something i happens." He looked at the men in front I of him, but none of them said i what he expected to pear, that I he would make a good president. There was an awkward silence. I Finally Dodson said: “Looks to . me like you're out of line, Gene. 1 The constitution and by-laws says I the president has got to be an i owner. Maybe you’d better buy I the Box P from Mrs. Pardee.’’ i He cleared his throat, and then : added, “We'll meet the first Sat- : urday night of October in the i schoolhouse.” He walked toward his rig, callI ing to his wife. The rest of them scattered in a matter of seconds. DiHingham and I were the only i ones left. He was red in the face, and hurl. "They’ll need me before they’re done! They’ll find out” He swung around and walked toward the house. I went into the bunkhouse and • sat down. 1 rolled and smoked : a cfgaret and stored at the log walls and the potbellied stove.

but I didn’t think I could work for Dillingham. He’d be overbearing as well aa stubborn; he’d make a show if he had to kill me and Dogbane to do it. I’d wait a few days and see how it went. Someone came in and I glanced up. It was Ben Sawhill, the Canon City lawyer who handled Joe’s legal work, a big, rawboned man who looked more like a farmer than like a lawyer. He was smart and honest, and Joe had always trusted him. Sawhill would do right by Sarah, I thought. He looked down at me for a moment. He said, “We’re reading the will tonight. I’ve got to get back to Canon City tomorrow. 1 want you to fatch Kathy Morgan. She’s named in the will.” I stood up. “You’re crazy, Ben! She wouldn’t step into this house. Sarah wouldn’t let her through the door if she did come." “Sarah will let her," he said heavily. ‘Tve asked her. I don’t know how ‘you stood on Joe’s family trouble, but as far as I'm concerned he never deserved a woman as good as Sarah! But somebody's got to get Kathy here, or at least ask her and hope she won’t come.” “All right,” I said. ”I’ll go.” I saddled up and rode to Carlton, wondering about what Sawhill had said. He'd done Joe's legal work and taken his money, but apparently he’d hated him all the time. He was as much on ■ Sarah’s side as Dogbone was. I , wasn’t sure why. Then I began thinking about Gene Dillingham and how he disliked Sarah. He'd give her a bad ; time. If she left everything in . his hands, they’d get along, but i I didn't think she would. I knew . I’d have to stay. I’d swallow my i pride a dozen times a day. I’d i take things off Dillingham I’d never take off any other man; when I remembered the things Sarah had done for me, staying on the Box P was little enough to do for her. Kathy opened the door the instant I knocked. She motioned toward a chair, her eyes red and i swollen. I glanced around the room. Everything was neat and i clean. “How will you make out, Kathy?" I asked. She was a large woman, but shapely, with a pleasant voice and a friendly manner that made her liked by the men. She could do a good many things well, including playing poker. I’d heard some grumbling about that, and the price of her liquor. She was the kind who’d always make out. “I’ll get a1 o n g,” she said, finally. “Ben Sawhill sent me to tell you he's reading the will tonight," . I said. "You’re supposed to be there.” She tipped hor head back and looked at me, and the hope that she'd say No vanished at once. She said: "Thank you, Will, m be there.” ? .'

Afterward Dogbone Wheeled Sarah’s chair into the front room, then vanished into the night. We sat in the front room with the door open, and the chirping of crickets was a steady, cheerful sound. Ben Sawhill sat at the oak table, some papers spread* before him, the light from the tall knobby lamp falling across his face. Dillingham prowled ground the room, his dark face showing the struggle he was having with his temper. To make it worse, he’d said to Sarah, "Tomorrow I’ll ride into Canon City and hire another hand,” and she had said sharply, “I’ll do the hiring, Gene.” L Will Beeson, stood beside the fireplace, an elbow on the mantel, smoking one cigaret after anothex I could not keep from staring at Sarah, but she was buried so deeply in her thoughts that she wasn't aware of it. , She never talked much about herself, but 1 knew she had come to Colorado with her father and mother back in the “Pike’s Peak or bust” days. Like most of the others who had come that year,, her father had been “busted”; but, unlike most of ths others, he hadn’t gone back. Her mother had died the first winter. For several years after that, Sarah had followed her father from one camp to another. After he died, she had drifted south to Pueblo, then up the Arkansas to Canon City, working in restaurants, sewing, keeping house, anything she could do to live. That; was when she met Joe, and I suppose that, for a time at least, ranch life had seemed ideal. — ; She was thirty-five now, with blue eyes and hair that had turned white after her accident.

I don’t think she had a wrinkle j anywhere in her face; so, in spite > of her white hair, she looked ' younger than she actually was. j When I first knew her, she had ’ a great gift of laughter that ’ showed in her eyas, but it slowly i died; and now, as she tipped her ; head back and stared off in space, l her gads was deadly serious. I [ wondered what she was thinking about. Kathy Morgan, maybe. 1 i couldn’t believe Sarah hated Kathy, or that she was capable of hating anyone. She was a • wonderfully good person. It occurred to me that it was a good thing ■ for my peace of ' mind that Joe was dead. Now i I wouldn’t have to choose between them. I would have a job on the Box P as long as Sarah owned the ranch. She needed me and I needed her. Perhaps the i same thought was in her mind, for suddenly she looked at me and smiled, and started to say something; but before she did we heard the rattle of a rig, and Ben Sawhill said, “There’s Kathy.” . L. Dillingham went outside and returned a moment later with Kathy Morgan. Sarah said nothing. She didn’t even look at Kathy, who sat down and folded her hands on her lap. Sawhill picked up a sheet of paper and cleared his throat. ’None of us moved as we waited for the lawyer to read. He cleared his throat again, and in a clear, slow voice read Joe Pardee's last will and testament. I wasn’t surprised by any part of it. Dillingham and I got $506 apiece, and Kathy SI,OOO. The rest of the cash, the ranch, the furniture in the house, and the stock all went to Sarah. Watching Kathy’s face, 1 realized she had expected more. The instant Sawhill finished, Kathy rose. “Is that all?” "That’? all.” “I can go?” He nodded. For just a moment Kathy’s eyes were on Sarah and Sarah's gaze was on Kathy. That was the only time they indicated they were aware of each other’s presence, but neither allowed the slightest hint of her feelings to show in her face. Kathy turned and walked out. Dillingham would have followed, but Sarah said: "Wait, Gene. Ben can see she gets "started.” Sawhill followed Kathy outside, and Dillingham stood there, his great legs spread, head tipped forward* as he scowled at Sarah. “The ranch is mine now,” Sarah said. “I want both of you to know how it's going to ba ” She hesitated, a little afraid of Dillingham,;! thought.

Tonight” This was the last thing J ex- ’ pected. For a moment I stood there and stared at, Sarah; then I heard Kathy’s rig wheel out of ' the yard and Sawhill come in. He sensed what had happened and stood motionless just inside the front door. There waa no sound at alt Even the crickets' were silent. Dillingham’s dark face turned as pale as it could. He took a long breath, then asked, “You, know what you’re doing, Miz Pardee?” “I know exactly what I’m doing, she said. “Let’s be honest, Gene. You’ve never ’liked me, and I've never liked you because you believed in everything Joe did.
