The old adages we all know and use so often hold quite a bit of wisdom, and one of the truest is “variety is the spice of life.” How many people do you know that waste a good portion of their lives simply because they have found a comfortable rut and have no desire to get out. While they might be doing their work well, and making their contribution to society, think what they could do with a little more effort. As short as life is, it seems a shame to waste any of it simply because it's easier to stay in a rut. o o— A look around Decatur is gratifying. There are signs of progress all around. Almost every church has a building program, the hospital has recently completed a magnificent addition, the library, already one of the best in the area, is looking to the future with it's expansion program, new schools are proposed, and countless new homes are being built. Now it is the duty of all of us to evaluate this expansion and do our part. Progress in a city is not the job of a few independent boards. It is the job and duty of every citizen that has any interest in this city as a home for them

WHAT HAS HAPPENED When Paul Rettig lost hla wife, he had three small children and wanderlust Knowing Paul's shortcomings and fearful for the welfare of the children, his young sister Elizabeth moved in with them. They moved in a prairie wagon from Illinois to Kansas and then to Texas in Paul's haphazard search for his idea of a good place to settle. One day In hostile Indian country in North Texas Elizabeth realizes they are lost. Paul, true to character, will not admit this, and announces his determination to build a home right where they are. in the middle of the prairieland Elizabeth can't argue with Paul effectively enough to stop him from chopping up their wagon for firewood. within a week Rettig builds » sod but. where ■ cavalry unit led by Lieut Harry Butler finds them—to Butler’s great delight, for he had met Elizabeth at Camp Supply before the Rettigs became lost. He Is moved to propose marriage to Elizabeth. She forestalls him. saying. "Harry, you're nice, but give tnls some time." Knowing the Rettigs' danger from Indians. Butler leaves his personal guns and a supply of ammunition with Paul when the troop has to ride on. CHAPTER 5 ON THE ninth day wo men rode tn from the south leading four heavily laden pack horses. Elizabeth was at the creek getting water and they splashed halfway across before she saw them. They startled her and she dropped the wooden bucket. One of them said, "Ma’am, if rd been a Kiowa, you’d be dead now.” He was a slightly built man. roughly dressed and heavily armed. His face was moon-shaped and a long mustache fell darkly beyond the ends of his lips. A month had passed since his last shave, and five times that since his last bath. He took off his hat and held it in his hands, the gesture curiously gallant. “What’s come on you is Bat Masterson. This is my partner. Pat Garrett.” He waved his arm toward the vast southland. “Been buffalo hunting." Then he waited for her to speak. Garrett, she saw, was extremely tall, possibly six foot three in his high heels. He had a slender, hollow-cheeked face that no amount of feeding would fatten. On "each side of his hips there rested a long barreled revolver, suspended by crossed ammunition belts. And he carried two enormous rifles with bandoliers of ammunition dangling from the saddle horn. “We’re—new here,” Elizabeth said. “We can see that," Garrett said, his voice a soft nimble. Paul Rettig came from the soddy, saw Elizabeth with the two men, reached for his Spencer rifle. Masterson, his expression unchanging, said. "He ain’t going to shoot anybody, is he?” “It’s all right!” Elizabeth yelled, yet Rettig continued to bold the rifle. “Maybe’ he wants a closer look,” Garrett suggested.

"There’s ’ Kiowas out there. If anything i ever set em off—" He let the • rest trail into nothing. “What Pat’s saying," Masterson ' said, “is that Injuns is hard to make out sometimes. If someone had a run tn with 'em a long way south of here, it could start em on a tear and they’d kill any white person they come across. It don’t matter much to an Injun whether they get the guilty one or not” Paul Rettig’s expression mirrored his disinterest "You think we’re lyin’ to you?’’ Garrett asked. “No,” Elizabeth said. “We believe you. We don’t have much but you’re welcome to share what we have. Step iftside.” 'That’s kind of you," Masterson said. inside Masterson looked at the mud fireplace, already cracking before a fire had been built in It. “You ought to have cured that as you built it,” he said to Paul Rettig.

Low readings between 12 and 20 were expected throughout the state tonight and indications were that the mercury will not climb above freezing on the holiday Thursday. V, By 8 a.m. c.d.t. temperatures had dropped to 21 at South Bend and Lafayette. 24 at Fort Wayne, 26 at Indianapolis and 30 at Evansville. Further drops to i j “near 12 in the north and the west central portions, near 15 in the central and east central areas, and 20 or lower in the south were expected tonight.

it don’t crack open." He tilted his head back and looked at the mud and willow ceiling; blue sky waa visible through the latticelike poles. “Better get a better roof on this place. The rains will be starting around here in another few weeks." "There ain’t no wood,” Rettig said as though eager to place the blame. "The nearest wood’s at Adobe Walls," Masterson said. "Fifty miles each way. Too bad you didn’t build the place a lit’le narrower. You could have used buffalo hides to cover it" "Where’d 1 get the hides?” Rettig asked. . I. Masterson looked at him, puzzled. then stepped outside. Rettig followed him. “Say now. I asked you a question. Where’d I get buffalo hides?” Masterson’s eyes remained bland, somewhat amused. "You lived in this country long, Mr. Rettig?” “Some time now," Rettig said. “About two weeks,” Elizabeth said. He glared at her. “Dang it all, do you have to pick apart everything I say ? This fella only wanted a generalization. That’s all" V “I didn't mean to stir up anything,” Masterson said. “You mind if we camp the night in your yard?" “Help yourself," Rettig said. "Give me something to talk to besides women." He took off his hat and scratched his head. “Tell me somethin’. If you wanted to get rid of this blamed grass, how’d you go about doin’ it?” "What do you want to get rid ot it for?" Garrett asked. "To plow it. that’s what for.” Rettig stared at, the man, as though he could not understand his stupidity. “Mr. Rettig," Garrett said, “I wouldn’t plow it at all if I was you. 1 don’t think the Kiowas would like it” He paused to bite off a chew of tobacco. “Besides," Masterson said, "you're sitting right smack in the middle of a buffalo crossin’." "1 am?" The moon-faced man glanced at his partner. “Kind of thought that was the case when you asked where you’d get buffalo hides. You ever see buffalo on the move?" -’■- . "Can’t rightly recollect that I have,” Rettig admitted. Then a pride that he could never quite subdue prompted him to add, “Likely though 1 have some Knowledge erf it,* The two hunters again glanced at each other, as though accustomed to dealing with fools who couldn’t stand to have anyone Fk leas of them than they B.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED When Paul Rettig lost his wife, he had three small children and wanderlust. Knowing Paul's shortcomings and fearful for the welfare of the children, his young sister Elisabeth moved in with them. They moved In a prairie wigon from - Illinois to Kansas and then to Texas in Paul's haphazard search for his idea of a good place to settle. One day in hostile Indian country In North Texas. Elizabeth realizes they are lost Paul, true to character, will not admit this, and announces his determination to build a home right where they are. in the middle of the prairieland. Elizabeth can't argue with Paul effectively enough to stop him from chopping up their wagon for firewood. Within a week Rettig builds a sod hut where a cavalry enit led by Lieut. Harry Butler finds them—to Butler's great delight for he had met Elizabeth at Camp Supply before the Rettigs became lost He is moved to propose marriage to Elizabeth. She forestalls him. saying. ‘Harry, you're nice, but give this some time.” Knowing the Rettigs' danger from Indians. Butler leaves his personal guns and a supply of ammunition with Paul when the troop has to ride on. Then Bat Masterson and Pat Garrett come upon the sod hut of the Rettigs . . . CHAPTER 6 Bat Masterson waved his hand toward the expanse of waving pralne grass. This seemed to be a habit of his, and from some men it would have seemed theatrical and a little foolish, but not when he did it. He seemed very much a part of the land: there was the recollection of vast distances traveled in his eyes, and of things seen and forgotten because they were too far beyond belief to stand retelling. "You can hear buffalo stampede before vou can see 'em,’’ Masterson said. “A roar like a heavy sea smashing into a rocky shore. Then the ground begins to tremble under your feet and if you put your ear to it, it’s thunder and all hell coming at you. 1 guess a man sees the dust first, like a storm building on the horizon. Sometimes the dust blots out the sun tor days at a tune, then you can see 'em, dark and hump-backed, heads down, running blind; the whole horizon is black with em. Why, man. I’ve spent a whole day and a night and another day crouched down in a waller while they went by. Couldn’t have heard thunder for the noise they made. No sleep for the ground shakin’." Paul Rettig listened patiently, then said. “You must think I’m a fool, to believe that! There ain’t that many buffalo In the whole plains country." He looked at Pat Garrett “And I suppose you was there?” “1 was." Pat Garrett said. "Spring of 71. Not eight miles from here." "Mmm,” Rettig said and wiped his hand across bis mouth, on the verge of calling them liars. “I’ll put some coffee on," Elizabeth said and went into the noddy. Both the hunters smiled and murmured their thanks. , Bat Masterson said, “I guess

you had a reason for pickin' this spot Mr. Rettig. But I’d look for another If 1 was you. The buffalo migrate every spring and fall. If they didn't catch you one year, they'd catch you the next” "And 1 guess I’d handle it when the time came,” Rettig said. “Ain’t much about it you can handle," Garrett said. “Man, ; they’ll run right over you, house and all,” Elizabeth Rettig came to the ’ soddy door and said, “The coffee's boiling, if you’d like to come in.” “Thank you," Masterson said and stepped inside, Rettig and ; Pat Garrett following him. “1 have a hard time keeping 1 the fire going," Elizabeth said. "The wood’s about gone." Masterson smiled. “Out here we burn buffalo chips, ma’am.” “Chips?” Rettig said. ’They burn all right ?” He acted as though, this was a joke on him. "As good as wood.” Masterson said. ‘liYour kids could gather a wagon load and not stray more’n a hundred yards from the cabin." “By George, they might as well get to work!" Rettig said and went outside to see that they got to it. Accepting his tin cup of coffee, Pat Garrett said, “Your brother's a man of strong opinions, ain't he, ma'am?” “Yes, he is. It’s something you have to put up with." Bat Masterson smiled and brushed a finger across his mustache. “1 guess he hasn’t seen any Injuns yet.” “No. Was he supposed to have ?” The two hunters glanced at each other, then Masterson said, “About a mile and a half south of here we came onto a day-old camp, rd say twenty or thirty Kiowas camped the night there. Maybe ne never saw 'em, but they saw you." Rettig returned, hurrying as though he was afraid of missing something, or perhaps hoping to catch them talking about him. "By George, there sure is plenty ot those chips about. Wish I’d known that sooner. I wouldn’t have burned the wagon.” He looked at the two men, then said, In defense, "Hell, a man has to keep warm, don,'t tie?" “It ain’t that cold,” Bat Masterson said. “Well, 1 get cold,” Rettig said. "Got thin blood, so the doctor says.” He got a cup ot coffee for ’ himself. "You ain’t told me yet about gettin' rid of that danged grass." “Don’t get rid of it," Garrett said. “This is Kiowa country, Mr. Rettig. Good for buffalo buntin’ and not much else. Once you put a plow in the ground, you’ll set the Kiowa against you.” "They don’t bold to fanning, ’’

PAUL (UPD—Retired railroader Claude Howe recently cashed a five-cent check he had been carrying around with him for 55 years. The 80-year-old pensioner told a bank teller here he had received the check in 1903 from the Great Northern railroad as bonus for a special run he had made while a conductor.

Masterson said. "Plowing kills the grass and when the grass is gone, so's the buffalo, ano the Injuns live oft the buffalo. Clothes, food, lodges, everything comes from the buffalo." “What a heathen way to live!" Rettig said. "Why don't they farm like the rest of us?" "For the same reason you don't go naked and eat your meat raw.” Masterson said. He parted his mustache to finish his coffee, then set the cup aside. “I’m obliged tor the hospitality.
