But dont let it be said that Ive warned you gainst him, for his mother and I are awful good friends. Big we all call him Big for short was a good boy till he got interested in a girl in Newcastle. That was when he was the basketball star there, an this girl shes Virgie Winslow, the mayors daughter turned his head with her notice, an he fell mightily in love with her. He thought she was the most wonderful thing in the world, an' she was the mayors daughter too, you see. So when he found out that she wasn't playin fair with him, it broke him all up inside an he took the notion that all girls are like her. She learned him a lot Well, when the basketball season was over an' Big wasnt starrin in anything, she dropped him like a hot brick. She started goin with a town boy an when Big finally found out it bit him hard an he's acted different towards girls ever since then. Dont have no faith in em it would seem. When the Websters left, Dave made a point of being very busy elsewhere, and it wasnt until he heard the pickup roar away that he returned to the house, more or less furtively. The sun was almost down when Buglers roaring announced someone's approach. Andy left the chair at the right of the fireplace, where he had been resting, and went to the thing, why would the doe have been down there, open to a shot, when the hunters were so far away? "Oh, when the hounds are running, the deer are excited, and they appear almost anywhere. Mr. Fliptf is in concealment not far from the doe, watching to see the warden make the discovery. "Lets go down there, Dave put in quickly, and drag the doe off our land. We could throw it into the bayou and Mr. Eliot raised a hand for silence. "No. Positively not that! It may be that someone is down there on watch, and if you go near the deer your case will become even more dangerous and complicated. If you touch the deer, then your accusers will be in a position to substantiate the accusation that you shot it and then waited for dusk or darkness before bringing it to the house. Dont go near it. Andy shook his head slowly, "I didnt think they were that I didnt think "Of course not," Mr. Eliot agreed gently. Nor did I. We are idealists, Mr. Ives. It is an unfortunate men- low-dow- n! door. It was Mr. Eliot. He was walking fast. His right arm swung in time with his quick, short steps, but his left arm hung still, as if it wished no part in either the man's haste or the tempo of his walking. "Whats your hurry? Andy called. "Come in. "Hello, Mr. Eliot said crisply. He was undeniably excited. It was in his eyes, which were bright and quick behind the glasses; it was on his round face, and in the stern set of his usually gentle mouth. "Perhaps wed better talk out here, he said, casting a furtive look toward the woods to the south. "Whats up? Andy asked, going out to meet him. "Anything happened to Mr. Flipp?" Mr. Eliot puffed a few "No. times, recovering from his fast walk. "We are of the opinion that something is about to happen to you." That so? Andy looked at him wonderingly. What ire you talking about, Mr. Eliot? heavy-rimme- k. d Any Tactics However Spurious "Mr. Flipp returned to our cabin a few minutes ago, from setting some traps, and found me deeply engrossed with an Intricate chess problem. Ive often attempted to interest Mr. Flipp in chess, but he refuses to see the beauty and depth of Its infinite combinations; he prefers checkers, I regret to add. However, that is neither here nor there. He came in from setting his traps and asked me to come and tell you not to go near the southwest corner of your place tonight. Andy blinked. Why? I wouldnt have any business down there tonight but why? Dave came out then, curious as to the purpose of Mr. Eliots visit. "The reason for his warning is this," Mr. Eliot said. "Someone has killed a young doe and planted it on your property." Andy started in surprise. "Why, the dirty, sneaking "Mr. Flipp caught a fleeting glimpse of a rider leaving that part of your quarter section. He was unable to recognize the man, but he did note that it was not a black horse. "So. theyd try to frame me for killing a doe!" Andy mused. "Why, Ive been busy here all day; I haven't shot a gun since coming out here; I dont have a hunting license. Of all th- e"Mr. Flipp reasons and I think his mental processes are sound in this instance that the warden will come here before long and inform you of what he has discovered, to wit, the dead doe. It may be troublesome. "Theyd have to prove something, though," Andy pointed out. "The warden would say that none of the hunters could have killed the doe there, for they have been much farther to the southwest all day. He would say that you shot the deer and left It there until after dark before bringing it to the bouse In stealth. He would say "Maybe he would say all these things." Andy broke in, "but that's not proof. Why, .what chance would I have had to kill the doe? Another "He weighed a hundred pounds? Dave asked, marveling. "Say, how big do they get? "Much bigger than that. Three or four hundred pounds, possibly. "They git so big. Mr. Flipp said, "that you caint hardly lie 'bout em." When the guests had washed up, Kate seated them, with Andy, Dave, and Granny, at the little table. She and Hope would serve. "Its nice to have you both with us, she said. "Dont mind Andys quiet, solemn way tonight; hes worn out. Do you take coflee? We have no cream. Mr. Flipp glanced sideways at Andy. "I bet hes tired, all right. Yes'm, I like It black an stout enough to float a wedge. This here supper looks good. I aint et woman-cooke- d vittles in a spell. "You should be ashamed of not being married," Granny said severely. "Every man ought to marry and have a family if he can. "Got a onion? Mr. Flipp asked Kate. Aint nothin bettern onion with fried ham. Ill get one, Hope said, opening the kitchen cabinet and fishing a large yellow Eermuda from a sack. "Sliced or quartered? "Slice it. Better if youd soak It in salt water fer a spell. And, to Granny: "Onions is another reason why I ain't never married. Lot o women turn up they noses at onions. Danged if any womans goin to tell me what to eat, an when! "I think," Granny said, "that you have been wise and considerate in remaining single. "Pass the biscuits, Dave," said Mr. Flipp, ignoring her double-edge- d tribute. At this point, Jessie Bell and Bugler set up a bedlam of warning outside. Mr. Flipp looked at Andy, nodded almost imperceptibly. Mr. Eliot raised his brows and took more rice. Dave shifted uneasily. Andy left his chair and went to the door. But the caller was not the warden, who was certainly doing a fine job of loitering on his way to the house of Andy Ives! It was a young man whom Andy hadnt seen before. He was getting down from his horse as Andy stepped out the door, and in the dim lamplight that came through the door, he looked handsome and well set up. he asked "Youre Mr. Ives? pleasantly, coming toward Andy. "My name's Halleck, Bigelow Hal-lecThey call me Big. "Im Andy Ives. Glad to meet you, Mr.- -" "No Mr., the visitor cut in. "Make it just Big, without the handle. "Come in and have supper with us, Big, Andy invited. Ill warm a little; cold riding. Ive had supper. Thanks. In case you wonder what Im doing here this time of night, Mr. Buckley said you're looking for a good cow to milk. "Sure, come right in. Well talk about it. Better have a cup of coffee. All right, I will Itd warm me up." He stooped as he went through the door. Ilope was taking up hot biscuits as Big Halleck entered the kitchen. tal state, viewed immediately, but ultimately it makes for a better world. Do you play chess? "Ive played a few games. What did Mr. Flipp think Id better do about this? , "He sent no Instructions by me, save that you must not go near the doe. He wanted you to be aware of the chicanery that is shaping up against you. I am pleased to point out, though, that in such matters Mr. Flipp is very resourceful, and it is entirely possible that he will arrange some means of protecting you." I dont want him getting into trouble, though, to save me," Andy said worriedly. "If he tries to drag the doe away, they may catch him." Kate came to the door then and called supper. You come In too, Mr. Eliot, she Invited. "Ive set a place for you. "It would be delightful," Mr. Eliot assured her, but I must return to "Say, Dave cut in, "there comes somebody now. Mr. Flipp, isnt it?" They looked and saw the tall, narrow figure of Absalom Flipp taking shape out of the darkness of the woods. He was walking faster than usual. Jessie Bell ambled along behind him. Bugler bellowed at the shadowy figure, then caught sight of his mother and ran to meet her. "Evenin, all," Mr. Flipp greeted them placidly. "Yesm, Mil Ives, we'll take supper with you, an' thanks. "Good!" Kate said. "Ill set another place. The Ives Meet A New Neighbor "Thanks for warning me," Andy said. "Did you see anybody down there?" Mr, Flipp nodded. "The game wardenll be here in a minute or two.

"Everybody come in." Mr. Flipp shoved his foot back Into the boot. "Them words make a pretty soun," he said. "I'm hongry Say, whurs the wash pan?

Both fish and eggs are nutritious foods. Fish and egg yolk contain protein, that important body building and repair substance which everyone needs daily. In both vitamins and minerals, both of these foods rate as excellent sources. Egg yolks are rich in iron, builder of red blood cells; they also supply calcium needed for bones and teeth. Youll also appreciate the fact that eggs are a good source of phosphorous, riboflavin and vitamins A and D. Fish are very active, and since the B vitamins (thiamine, niacin and riboflavin) are necessary for energy production, their flesh is rich in these. All fish are rich sources of phosphorous and ocean fish and sea foods are excellent sources of Iodine, the element necessary to the prevention of goiter. g. . d hard-cooke- hard-cooke- BE CONTINUED) 4 I COMPARED TO MEAT, fish has little fat and, therefore, it requires little cooking time.
