Andy Is Informed by hunters that the home be has taken for bis own in the homestead movement was formerly used by them as a camping place. He is warned by Watson Bird, businessman, not to cross up the hunters who Include Sig Flanagan, Sheriff Martin and Sam Bragg. While Andy Is in town, a hunter deliberately shoots at his home, pretending to be aiming at a doe. Andy 1s tnfurt-ate- d by Emerson Eliot, he goes to town and exchanges words with his enemies, but get noaccompanied and, where. CHAPTER IX I wasnt at home today. I may be next time. TU shoot when and where I please!" Flanagan said. His long, thick fingers were working nervously, and his black eyes seemed deeper set, drawn In by rage. Til shoot" are "There A laws protecting homes, Andy said, "but I dont want to move In here and start 'lawmg.' Ive always got along with people, and I want to keep It up; but you cant make a practice of shooting my house. You nor anybody else. Dont forget that. Sig Flanagan growled thickly and started toward Andy. "I dont take threats from smart alecks like you!" he snarled. "Ill make you wish Id shot the wall in, with you under it! "Wait, Sig," Sheriff Martin said quickly, catching his arm. "Ill take care of this." Flanagan shook him oft and crouched to lunge at Andy, but the sheriff moved quickly in front of him. "There are better ways, Sig," he said softly. "Better ways of handling things like this. Get hold of mosey down this way. It was Mr. Flipp. He was emerging from a clump of sumac near the bank of the bayou, carrying his rifle loosely in the curve of his right arm. The two fox squirrels swung from his belt, revealing that he hadnt been to his cabin since leaving the Ives premises. him. "Hello, Andy greeted "Wasnt looking for you down here. Mr. Flipp asked no questions as they walked along the dim road through the woods. Andy knew that he had come dowm here to help him in case he needed it. "I got along all right," said Andy. "Thats good." "Sheriff Martin doesnt seem to be a bad fellow." Abaslom spat. "Dang politician!" he said sadly. "Shckern owl grease in August." "Well, I can see why some of the Newcastle folks feel the way they do about us, Andy said. "Their families have been here for years; their grandfathers opened up this country. Were newcomers." "That dont make us bad people, yourself. Andy stood very still, tensed for the threatened onslaught. He knew that Flanagan could give him a terrific beating, for the man was powerful and driven by a fierce temper. But he stood still, ready to take what he had to and to give all he could. TU beat his face in!" Flanagan raged. "Stand aside, sheriff. I'll fix him so his wife and kids wont know him for a week! "No, Sig This is my camp, and I wont have trouble like this. Quiet down, now. Take it easy; youU feel sure." I hope not, Andy said, see how he happened to shoot it at all. Look, sheriff, Ive never liked to see land posted against hunting unless there was a mighty good reason for it. Still, a man cant have things like this happening. You understand that, I know." "Oh, sure! Sure, Ives, Very disHe looked narrowly at turbing. Andy, then away. .'"And as for posting your land, 1 hardly think that necessary. We deer hunters arent a bad lot, after all. And, too, It would Just make a lot of trouble for you." "What kind of trouble?" Andy inquired. "Well, It happens that the authorities youd appeal to In ease of violations wouldnt be interested in helping you out." "You mean, 1 wouldnt have any protection from you?" "Dont put it quite like that," Sheriff Martin begged gently. "Of course. Ive sworn to uphold the law and to enforce all regulations, but I cant do everything alone." He shrugged. "My deputies are all deer hunters. The game warden Is one too. The prosecuting attorney of the county is in camp here with us." He nodded toward the cabin. "Taking a nap right now. You see how it "Well, "but I cant day" Now, Harley," Mrs. Webster broke in wearily, "it was you that said wed go over and see the Iveses.

"Hi, Dave," Oreen said in a tone that hinted timidity, although her manner of address was forthright. Dave nodded. "What grade are you in?" Oreen asked. The eleventh, up at Harbison-villhe told her. Im in the tenth, she said, tossing her curls. "You startin to school next week? Dave shook his head. "Ill have to miss awhile, he informed her. "Got a lot to do."

Oreen lingered behind the others as they started into the house. "Do you like to go to parties?" she asked Dave. "Not much." He wished shed go on with Hope, who was waiting for her. We have a lot of fun at parties, We play games an Oreen said. dance, an ail. Ill let you know when theres goin' to be one somewhere. Dave wheeled and went away, foltoward the pole lowing fence enclosing what would be the barn lot. The Websters remained until late afternoon. Harley proved a willing and valuable helper, and they made good progress with the He would come back the next day and maybe he could bring another neighbor or two. "Dont bother about being beholden to people for free help," he said generously. In the house, Mrs. Webster and the women worked at tacking up heavy strips, cut from boxes, over the cracks. Oreen didnt help with the tacking, for that would have made her bend and stretch, and she wasnt dressed for such exertion; but she cut pieces of cardboard for the others. Every time the wagon passed the house, she went to the window and watched it go by, following Dave with her brown eyes. "Chill," Granny said at last, piqued by her inordinate interest ia Dave, "dont you have any brothers? "Shes our only chick and child, Mrs. Craig, Birdie Webster answered before Oreen could make reply. "Howd you happen to ask her that? "The way she watches Dave," made me Granny said frankly, wonder if boys arent a sort of curiosity to her. 1 didnt think she had any brothers. Oreen flushed and tossed her head, but her mother, either realizing the justice of Grannys observation or unwilling to let anything threaten the Webster-Ive- s axis, smoothed it over. Nice-looki- n e, the-wag- better." "Sure, come along, Sig, Wellons invited. "Lets drink to the house that looked like a deer! Come on, fellow!

TU make you wish youd stayed home and played marbles with the buckshot I put in your wall! Then he turned and foUowed Wellons into the cabin. "Of course, Mr. Ives," the sheriff said soothingly, "it was an accident, Sig wouldn't have had any reason to shoot your house, I'm Youve your own work to do, Andy said, "Thanks just the same."

Andy nodded, struck by the aptness of the figure. He wanted to thank his gaunt Companion for being near at hand when trouble threatened, but he didnt know Just how to go about it. He was sure that Mr. Flipp wanted him to think their meeting at the bridge purely accidental. So he said nothing. "Sheriff Martin didnt come from one of the fine ol famTies," Mr. Flipp said. "He gits his power through the machine he's built up durin the last twelve years. Oreen Webster Enters the Scene "Why doesnt some good man run for office?" Andy asked. "That Martin outfit shouldn't be allowed to hold onto things forever." Absalom Flipp shook his head slowly. "Good men dont want the kind of politics theyd have to play to fight the ring.
