*‘TITHAT’S troublin’ you, Sher-
W iff?” Gus Wheeler said.
"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.”

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.
