"Yes, I know," Juddy eald.
That makes us something, doesn't
it?"
"I remember Cousin Selene, as
boy," ha said. "She was right
beautiful. Anyone could tell you
were her daughter. She married
out of the South." He couldn't
quite keep out of his voice that
Selene Mnurie had smeared the
Tambay escutcheon by taking up
with a Yankee.
"Maybe you wont want to claim
fne for a relative when you know
what I'm here for." And she let
him have It
The shock wiped his family
mile clean off. "Tambay?" he
aid. "A tourist camp? Tambayl"
He never looked at me. "We
all thought the the barbecue
wagon was temporary. I cant see
why this lady should want to settle
in a place liko Tambay."
"Keep the aob out of your
throat and IH tell you, pal," I
said. "Its the old back-to-the-soil
yen. Believe it or not. I'm a
sucker for nature. Birds, bees
and butterflies, they get me down.
Well, show me a place where na
ture's had Its own way more than
at Tambay!"
Juddy gave that little, low
chuckle of hers. "Sweetbriar and
the mossy mortgage," she said.
For a while young Mr. Sears
gave an impersonation of the chief
mourner at a Maurie funeral un
til he found It got him nowhere.
"Another thing, while I'm here,"
she said. "The Hanging Tree is
on Tambay property, isn't it?"
"Yes. Why?"
- "I'm going to have it cut down."
"No," he said, and his voice was
hard. "That you cant do."
"Why cant I?"
"Nobody In the country would
dare touch that tree."
' 'Then I'll send away and get
someone."
"He'd be killed," he said quiet
ly.. She was getting white around
Ithe lips. "I believe you believe
in these horrible lynchings!',
I knew the answer before he
spoke. "Strangers don't under
stand these things." It's more than :
lhalf true, too.

miled at Juddy. "So, Cousin, if

Sears looked embarrassed. "I

P IMowry Maurie; the name got
enanged when his line went west."
i "Then he's really a cousin?"

'had a right affectionate nature
and casual habits. He left quite
a number of descendants careless
ly around the neighborhood. One
of them founded the Mowry line.
This latest one, Hollister, picked
ilip a bit of money, mining in
Colorado, came back here and
. went in for politics."
: "I'll have to meet up with my
eheriff-cousin," she said. "Do you
ithink If I went up to him and
aye him the clan grip and the
iMaurie password, he'd come to
the aid of the party?"
Mr. Maurie Sears took It seri
ously. "You could count on him.
: He's a queer mixture. In a poli
tical or business deal he'd cut
. his best friend's throat without a
i quiver. But if you were in trouble
, , . and appealed to him on the ground
of kin, he'd move heaven and
earth for you. After all, the
: Maurie blood Is there, Cousin."
"You needn't call me Cousin.
Juddy will do," she said. I won
' dere ' whether she caught the look
In his eyes. I did.
'
- TT struck me that Juddy was
' A having a pretty good time for
Jierself with the Welllver lads,
without taking on any extra
' wwatns. The Feederla was sure

tion. Angel Todd ale with us too)
toften for a bird that was paying
" regular board somewhere else, and
.
to did his four pals in the bonds
of Chi Rho Gamma. Several times
Juddy went over to the coHcro
blowouts, but not always with the
same boy. Angel had the inside
track, though.
Several times I watched them
together, and the queer way she'd
look at him had me guessing.
Sometimes I thought she was
cruzy about him. Then again, she
seemed to be trying to figure out
something. I knew Angel's repu
tation with the gals. Far be it
from me to heave the first rock;
wnmcn make it tough for a swell
looking athlete like Angel Todd;
a certain kind of women. Juddy
wasn't thnt kind though, if I'm any
judge. So what? Nobody had
pinned a badge on me to be
Guardian of the Pure. They were
both free, white and twenty-one.
One quiet evening while we were
washing up she said, "Mom, I
think I've been propositioned."
"Then it isn't Angel," I said.
"If it had been him, there wouldn't
be any 'think about it."
"It is Angel. He wants me to
go with him over next week-end
to visit some friends. My theory
is that the friends won't be there
when we arrive."
"Well, you're going, arent your"
I was trying her out
"Is that your advice?"
"I give advice when I'm asked
for it"
"All right; I'm asking."
"My theory is that any gal who
goes out with that sweet lad had
better keep her feet on the
ground," I told her.
"So?" said Juddy thoughtfully.
"I'm a wise old bird," I said.
"On the other hand, if you can't
get him out of your system any
other way, and are looking for ex
perience, that's something else
again."
"Looking?" she said, and those
straight, strong, pretty brow of
hert drew down. "I'm not ex
actly a dewy young debutante.
Mom."
I wasnt quite sure what she
was trying to tell me. She didn't
say any more at the time.
