No matter if it had been a moonshiners hangout, no matter if hunters had camped there for several years, it was now the residence of Andy Ives and family, and a man had fired buckshot into it. It is a regrettable situation, Mr. Eliot said. But my suggestion is that you ignore it. Passive resist-- ' ance is often a powerful weapon, Mr. Ives." But I dont feel the least bit passive," Andy told him. If Ive got to face things like this, I might as well start now. Right now! Kate viewed her husband with surprise and perhaps a sense of deeper appreciation.

Plenty to eat, good coffee, and you'll be as welcome as the flowers in May. Thanks. Andy realized that they were either playing a game with him, or else they hadnt recognized him for a donator, and particularly for the donator who had caused them to change camp sites for the deer season. "Sheriff, Ive just moved into this section, and I'm anxious to be friendly with everybody too, but when a man shoots The short, thick one broke in: You couldve moved somewhere else, Ives, instead of where you did. We drive all the way down from Monticello and find our house taken by a homesteader. Heck of a note, ain't it, sheriff?" Im not dealing with you, Andy said calmly, unless I have to, and then I will. Too bad if Ive interfered with your hunting. Now, keep out of this." He is right, said Wellons in his smooth way. "He is perfectly right, gentlemen of Hamilton. He wishes to deal with the sheriff, and we are but the guests of the sheriff. Sheriff So, youre a donator, Martin said slowly, his face losing the friendliness that had at first reassured Andy. "Youre the one who took up the quarter section where we used to camp. I'm the one, Andy said. I moved here in the hope of owning a peaceful farm and a place Id be proud of. But I understand now that its easy to have trouble here. This afternoon a man shot a load of buckshot into the west end of my house. I dont like that Confucius say, intoned David Wellons, "that a mans house is his castle. A man shot your house, the sheriff said slowly. Surely it was an accident. "I dont think so," Andy told him. The man was on a horse, chasing a deer. If he had shot at the deer which happened to be a doe the charge would have gone into the ground instead of into my wall ten feet above the ground. Sheriff Martin nodded. That's logical. Now, who could have done a trick like that?" He laughed i(ain in the tone. What a hunter! Misses a deer and shuuis a house! Don't know a deer from a house!

I was the one that shot the house," said Sig Flanagan, looking narrowly at Andy. "Must be that a limb knocked my gun up a lil'le just as I pulled the trigger.

No. Andy faced him, saw smoldering anger in the man' eyes. 6aw the thin mouth twitching at almost perfectly regular inter vals I'd rather you wouldnt shoot when you're so close to my house.

Pigskin Previews THE RELIEF AT LAST MONTHS of September, and November still he some distance to windward. But things are happening now that will affect the coming autumn such as Esarranging football schedules pecially the schedule that Notre Dame will face. It might be mentioned here that Notre Dame, after all the hullabaloo, d 1 d slightly better than all Southern Methodist, Tulane and North Carolina offer three of the better games of the year. MethSouthern odist was Southwestern champion last fall, and probably will be again this year with Dnak Walker and Kyle Rote back In action. Tulane has one of the best teams in the South. Tulane and Vanderbilt look to be two southern leaders next fall. North Carolina will have the brilliant Justice and the able Art Weiner back, but there will be many gaps to fill. Carl Snavely will fill them well. He usually does. These three additions to the Irish slate are hooked up with a far stronger Navy team. Southern California, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State and Washington no easy march. This is better than the average schedule. It has no deliberate soft spots that so many others have. It will certainly be a total cf eight bard games. Notre Dame, like Michigan, North Carolina and others, will lose good men and return good men. But you can gamble if yon like to gamble that Frank Leahy will have a first-clag sqnad with fast, runners and at least two good passers. You can also be fairly sure he will have a good line. What about Armys schedule? It has a number of soft spots, but it also has some bridges to cross. One of them is Michigan. Thats a sure thing. Others can be Stanford, Pennsylvania and Navy. But outside of Michigan, there Is nc trouble ahead. This forces too much pressure on the Michigan game. A defeat here can play havoc with either teams final ranking more with Army than with Michigan. Army will have a fine back-fiel- d and uncertain line strength with such stars as Yeoman, Henry, etc., missing. Her ends will be her strongest point. Navy, again, has no chance to beat her schedule, the toughest in football. The 1949 menu includes Southern California, Notre Dame, Army, Pennsylvania, Duke, Princeton and others of heavy calibre. But the 1949 Navy squad should move well up In the years ranking. Oklahoma will be strong again. Bud Wilkinson has a winning grip on the situation with a team that can exchange class with anyone around.

Whitman y QUESTION: When we moved into our apartment, we purchased from the previous tenant the inlaid linoleum on the kitchen floor. The quality is excellent, but the color in a marble-ize- d is a dirty pattern. Is there any product which will stain or dye the linoleum (not paint) so that we can get a deep blue tone and still retain the marbleized effect? ANSWER: I do not know of any stain or dye for that purpose. But you may be able to get the effect that you want by stippling in two colors, or else by applying a finish. For the stipspatter-das- h pling, first cut a large sponge in half. Apply an oil floor paint of the background color that you wish on the floor. When this has dried, paint a section of clean board with a second color that you will use for stippling, press the flat, cut side of the sponge on this fresh paint, and then press this on the linoleum. The pattern of the cut sponge thus will be transferred to the floor. For a spatter-das- h effect, use a stick and a brush with a rather long bristle. Dip the brush into the Ivy League Returns paint and wipe off the excess. There has been a tendency In re- Strike the brush ferrule against cent years for other sectors to look the stick so that the paint will with a certain amount of scorn on come off in drops on the floor.
