"Seems like you got a mighty long face today.” Sam Fuller closed the door. “This dem thing,” he said, and held up a folded newspaper. "What’s the paper got to do with it?” Gus asked. “Well, sir,” the Sheriff said, “it happened—oh, say two weeks ago.” He glanced down at the paper be fore he continued. “This reporter from the State capitol happened to stop by here one day. Don’t remember what for, but anyhow, we got to talkin’. You know, about the town, about my job —things like that.” "Don’t see nothin’ wrong with that,” Gus said. "Well, there wasn’t. But the longer we talked, the bigger I talked. By the time I had sense enough to shut up, I had him thinkin’ I was a big-shot law man, I reckon — instead of just a do- nothin’ small town sheriff. It was pretty disgustin’ the way I went on—braggin’ and boastin’ like a crazy pop-n-jay.” "Shucks,” Gus said, "we all do a little talkin’ out of turn some times.” “Yeah,” Sam said, "but not to a big city newspaper reporter. That’s where I played the fool." “How so?” Gus asked. "Huh! Just take a gander at this,” Sam said, and he handed the newspaper to Gus. “That re porter had to go and make a big story out of it. I sure didn’t figure on anything like that.” He re mained silent while Gus read the article. Gus was chuckling Oy the time he finished. "Sure sounds like this town’s just seethin’ with crime,” he said. “And you, Sam — why, you’re practically a one-man F.B.I. Sort of the Hair-Trigger Kid.” “That’s it,’’ Sam said. "Just like you — that’s what everybody’ll be doin’, makin’ a joke out of me. Why, I’ll be lauehed out of town.” "Don’t take it so seriously,” Gus said. "They’ll all forget it in a day or two.” , "I’m not sa sure,” Sam said. "Why, the nearest I ever get to enforcin’ the law is givin’ out traf fic tickets to Lizzy Owens; every dad-bum day, I’m havin’ to write out a ticket for Lizzy Owens. That woman’s got no business drivin’ a car, but what can a body do?—her bein’ the Mayor’s wife.” A car stopped outside and they both glanced up as a man entered. He looked around the store and then walked over to the window. Gus ’went around to wait on him. When Gus got behind the counter, facing him, the man slid a re volver out of the holster beneath his arm. “Okay, friend,” he said, "just start shoving the dough in that cash register out here on the counter.” Gus and the Sheriff rushed to the door when they heard the car start off. "Looks like an Ohio li cense,” Gus said. "Yeah,” the Sheriff said. "I better get on that phone and notify the State Police. Maybe they can set up a road-block before he gets far. Might be able to catch him that way.” He was already grind ing the old-style telephone. After a few seconds the Sheriff made his connection and talked hurriedly for several minutes. The door suddenly opened and little Tad Richards entered the store. “Sheriff Fuller,” he said breathlessly, “they sent me over to get you. Mrs. Owens just ran into some feller’s car — just up the street here." He paused to catch his breath. "Said to tell you he must be from Ohio — got Ohio license on his car. He don’t seem to be hurt, but he can’t get out of the car. It’s all bunged up and he can’t get any of'the doors open to get out. They said for you to come right up," he continued. “Said you’d sure do more than just give Lizzy Owens a ticket this time.” T-Sgt O. L. Suit In Philippines Technical Sergeant Orice L.

Bible Comment: Jesus Taught The People With True Authority A T the conclusion of the Ser- mon on the Mount it is said that the people were "astonished at His doctrine; for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.” Among the amazing things concerning the teaching and ministry of Jesus none is more remarkable. * The scribes were the official interpreters of the law, and were supposed to speak with authority. Jesus, in fact, recognized their authority as those who ‘‘sat in Moses seat,” though He warned the people that they should do as the scribes said, but not accord ing to their works, for they said, and did not. But even in what was said, those who heard Jesus realized a difference. They felt that He had an authority which those who claimed authority did not possess. He had-had the good education that * was the heritage of every Jewish boy of that time in the schools associated with the syna gogues. But He possessed, apparently, none of the outward credentials of authority which both then, now and always have assumed so much importance in the eyes of men. He was neither a scribe nor a rabbi and it is certain that no school of the time would have given him an honorary D.D. Yet to those who heard Him He spoke with an authority which none of the possessors of the out ward credentials of authority could command. The secret of the authority of Jesus was that it rested on truth. His authority was that of the great Revealer of God, speaking in harmony with the truth of God and the universe, the foun dation upon which all air ' ?y must ultimately rect this week's: / patterns.
