ROE / Copyright by the McC&U Company WNUServte*. V"H; %i #fx, ; m-- WR. CHAPTER IV--Continued With a snarl and a whine the owner of the tall faced her in the low mouth of a cave, his pointed ears flat to his head, hi* feet spread wide apart, his back dropped, his Jaws apart and ready, and round his outstretched neck there stood up in quivering defiance, the; broad white ruff of a pure bred collie dog! The girl stared at him with open mouthed amazement--and at the more astonishing thing which ltfy along the pebbled earth beneath him--for this was the thin little leg and foot of a small child. In utter silence and stillness she stood so, her hands on the rock's top. and for all tne length of time that she watched there was not a tremor of the little leg, nor a movement of the dog's crouching body. The only motion In the tense picture was the ripple of the stream, the quiver of the lips drawn back from the gleaming fangs. When the tension became unbearable Nance spoke softly. •'Come, boy," she said, "come--boy-- come." She ventured a hand across the rock, but the quivering lips drew back a trifle more, the big body crouched a bit lower--and the little bare leg drew ovt of sight behind the cave's edge. Carefully the girl slipped back from tiie rock toward the pool, gained its lip, and dropped swiftly away down the canyon. At a little distance she drew a deep breath and looked back. The mouth of the cave was black and vacant. There was no sign of the fiery eyes and slavering jaws, of a thin little leg under a fringe of blue Jeans rags! With eyes dilated and lips closed In amased silence Nance Allison made her way back to Buckskin, mounted and returned to the flats of Nameless. She had found Mystery with a capital, but she knew that she must wait with patience Its unraveling. Those pale eyes between the 11a ears held a challenge which only a fool would disregard--It would take time and patience. But, for the love of humanity, why was a child hiding like a fawn in Blue Stone canyon--with only a dog to guard It--and wMrno sign et camp or people? All the rest of the day and the tranquil evening Nance felt a thrill and stir within her, a trouble. She milked^ old Whltefoot and her sleek black daughter, Pearly, to the remembered sound of the fairy voices of the canyon, and when she sat to her nightly reading of the Word beneath the coal-oil lamp on the table there Intruded on the sacred page the gleaming fangs above that motionless small leg. With gray dawn she was up and about her work that she might get an early start. Bud was ali for going with her, but she would not have It so. *T11 have trouble enough getting near," she told him, "the best I can do. Another stranger would make them wilder still." The boy caught her hand as she swung up on Buckskin. "Be careful. Sis,"., he said, "look sharp on every side." He had never forgotten that stretched rope. Neither had Nance, but she walked bravely in a faith which made hqg serenely bold. " '.Commit thy way unto the Li she said smiling. " 'Trust also In Him.' Don't you fret--nor let Mammy, If you can help it. I'll be back soon as I can." Then she was gone down across the flats with Buckskin on the lope, one hand feeling carefully for the package she had tied behind the saddle. This contained a goodly piece of boiled corn beef and two slices of her mother's bread, fresh baked the day before. She was going armed with bribery. The whole Nameless valley between Its great escarpments was fresh and cool with shadow, for the sun was not yet above Mystery ridge and the rimrock that marked the way to the canyon. The river Itself talked to the boulders in its bed. and the little winds that drew up the* myriad defiles were h « t lW&: '#-•!. CHAPTER V Is tr What Nance Found. Nance pushed Buckskin hard rode In early to the cabin and her mother's counsel. She put the little horse away in the stable and fed him his quota of the precious hay, for Buckskin was not turned out to graze. He, along with Dan and Mollie, was too necessary to the life of the homestead to take chances with. They would miss- him sorely should he go the way of the six steers. 8he hurried up and pulled open the kitchen door. "Mammy," she said excitedly to the gaunt woman shelling peas by the table, "I've found something In the canyon. I wonder--should I meddle?" Mrs. Allison laid her wrinkled brown hands on the edge of the pan and looked at her daughter. "It's according," she said soberly, "does it need meddlin'?" "That s what I don't know. I found a collie dog--a savage dog for that breed--and a little* child hiding In a cave. I couldn't get near to them, but they act like they know what they're doing--they had watched me from behind a rock and crawled to the cave in line with it when I turned. I only saw the child's foot--but it was a thin little thing--and the old jeans pant-leg was weathered to rags. There wasn't a sign of camp--nothing. What could It mean?" The anxiety of a universally loving heart was In Nance's voice. "Did I do right to come away--or should I have tried some more to see them? It couldn't be done, though--the dog is on guard. He'll have to be handled •lowly, Tm sure of that" Mrs. Allison considered *htq odd Information gravely "It means some one else besides the child and dog, that's certain. They never got there by their lone selves." "But maybe they got lost from some on#--and they may be hungry--" the gift half rose at that thought, her "Come, Boy," 8he Said. "Come, Bey, Come." sweet with the fragrance of pines and that nameless scent of water which cannot be described. All these things were the Joy of life to Nance. She loved them with a passion whose force she did not comprehend. They were what sweetened her hard and ceaseless toll, what made of each new day In her monotonous round something to be met with eager gladness, to be lived through Joyfully, missing nothing of the promise of dawn, the fulfillment of noon, the blessing of twilight They had stirred and delighted the nomad heart of Jtfcer father before her, they had fllied'her own with contentment Eager as she was to be In the canyon she did not miss the pale pageant of light above rlmrock, or fall to watch the golden halo come along the crest of Rainbow cliff. But she soon crossed the river and entered the mouth of the great cut leaving behind the miracle of burgeoning day, for here the shadows were still thick, like gray ghosts. She pushed on up for an hour or so, listening to the voices which were still talking, while the shadows thinned between the dusky walls. At the point where she had left the pony the day before she dismounted and dropped his rein. 'You wait here, old nuisance," she said, darkly, rubbing his restless ears, "for I may have sudden need of you. If you see me come flying out with a streak of tawny fur behind me, don't you dare break when I jump. So long." She took the bread and meat from the saddle and started on foot. She went carefully, picking her way, eyes scanning each turn and boulder. At the pool's edge she stood a long time, watching, listening, but there was nothing to be seen or heard. She went to the mouth of the cave and peering in cautiously, called softly. She waited, but there was no answering growl, no whirlwind rush as she had half expected. The shallow cave was empty, save for some ashes two outcasts could have swum it and yet--where were their tracks If they had not? She circled the pool and went on, trailing carefully, but the bed beyond was composed of shale, blue and sharp --hard going for a child's bare feet, she thought compassionately--and gave no sign of a crossing. For another hour she went on, scanning the walls, the fallen stones, the stream Itself and every nook or corner where anything might hide. She was far In Blue Stone canyon by this time and wondered at the endurance which could have brought a child so far. Or had some one come and taken It away? That was possible, of course, and yet --a grownup person would have left marks in the soft sand assuredly. She would--but at this point in her train of thought, she came around a sharp Jut in the wall--and face to face with her quarry, or at least with part of it. Startled, the dog she had seen the day before was crouching in the narrow way that led around the Jut his body half turned, one foot raised, tall lowered, and the face he turned back across his shoulder was the most vicious thing Nance had ever seen He was crouched to spring, and the fury of his snarls, audible above the sound of the stream, made that odd clutch close her throat which always accompanies sudden horror. Nance Aillson was a brave woman, but she was scared then. She stood rooted to the spot and could not tear her eyes from the dog's pale flaming orbs to look at the little creature which she knew was running with a flurry of rags and naked arms up along the canyon wall. For a long moment they eyed each other, then, without other warning than a flicker of those flaming eyes, the collie sprang. He came high, sailing up and forward, bis forepaws spread, his head thrust out and downward, bis Jaws gaping. In the second that followed Instinct acted In Nance, not reason. Instead of recoiling, she surged forward to meet the onslaught, her right arm raised before her like a horizontal bar. The faded denim sleeve was down and buttoned at the wrist, where the gauntlet of her cheap leather glove made a cuff. Into that gaping month went the arm, Jamming hard, while she flung her left arm around the ruffed white ttiroat like a clamp. If she was surprised at her own Instinctive and prompt action, the collie was more so. Down on the sand went girl and dog, a rolling, tumbling bundle. In the half second which served to make the dog the victim instead of the attacking force, his outlook on the situation was completely changed. He had charged In a fury of rage. Now he fought frantically, but It was to free his mouth from the choking bar that filled it to get his bead out of the vise which held It. Bat Nance found herself In a dilemma, too. She was afraid to let go. As she rolled over In the struggle she cast desperate eyes up along the wall where she had seen the eerie small figure running In its rags. True enough, it was there, stopped, facing her, '•bent forward, .Its little hands clasped in a curiously old fashion of distress. Little boy!" she called, "come here! Come and talk to your dog--come quick! I won't hurt you. Come and call him--please come!" For a moment she lay panting, looking Into the dilated eyes so near her face. "Old chap," she said softly, that's all the fuss? I'm your friend if you only knew It Nice doggie--" She glanced at the child again, who bad not moved. Come on, sonny," she called coaxlngly. "come on--please." Slowly the child came forward, hesitant, afraid, bis small face pale with fright ' He sidled near and put out a dirty hand to the dog's right ear. The little hand closed--pulled--and Nance felt the dog's body twitch In an effort, to obey. 8he knew at once that that was the way they traveled together--the child holding to his ear. Slowly she relaxed her grip, let go the backward pressure. The collie Jerked free and backed off shaking his head, and Nance sat up, folding her feet beneath her. Then she smiled at the two waif* of Blue Stone canyon. "That isn't a nice way to treat folks who come to see you, Is tt, sonny?" she asked, "to set your dog on them?" "I didn't set him on," said the child In a high treble, "he set himself on you." "I guess you're right" answered the girl, "but don't let go of him again. Oo over there and pick up that package and bring It to me." She pointed to the package of bread and meat which had been flung wide In the recent trouble, and the child obeyed, dragging the collie along, who went unwillingly, his distrustful and baffled eyes turned back across his shoulder to keep her In sight The child, too, was wary, reaching far out, stretching his small body to the utmost between her band and his hold on the dog's ear. Quickly Nance unrolled the doth. She counted on the aroma which now arose on the clear air. "Pm hungry," she said nonchalantly, "are you?" • '•' The boy nodded. * > "And your dog, <oo?" , "I 'spect so." he answered gravely. She broke the food Into sections and "handed a portion over. The dirty little hand reached eagerly this time. "Feed him some," she said. Indicating the dog, but already the child was dividing as best he could without releasing his hold. The dog grabbed the fragrant meat and bolted It, watching her the while. Quickly she tossed him a bit of her own. He snapped that up also and she fancied the expression of the pale eyes chunged. She remembered now the extraordinary lightness of the great furry body, as if there was little beneath the splendid tawny coat save bones and spirit Plenty of the latter, she reflected, smiling. Whew! but wasn't he a fighter? But trained to the last degree--though he regarded her as a foe, still at the touch of the small hand for which he had fought he stood obedient. Pretending to eat herself, she managed to give the greater part of the food to the two before her, and they devoured it to the ultimate crumb. "Where yon live?" she asked the child at last off-handedly, but he did not answer. He was picking the crumbs he had dropped from the front of his bleached blue shirt--the pitiful excuse for a shirt, without sleeves. If one excepted the strings that hung from the shoulders, without buttons and all but falling from the scrawny little body underneath. As she watched him Nance's heart ached for his poverty, for his woebegone appearance. She was filled with a cautious excitement. The collie had sat down beside the boy. who had loosed his hold by now. It seemed that hostilities were relaxed, though she took no chances. "I live down on the flats by the river," she said presently. "I get lots of fish from these pools. They're awfully good, too." The child nodded. "I know," he said, "we da too." "Who catches 'em?" asked Nance. "Not you?" He Bhook his head. "No. Brand does." "Who's Brand?" she followed quickly, but once more the child shook his unkempt head. "Just Brand," he said. Nance saw that further questioning would not do, therefore^ she Ml back on the wiles of woman, the blandishments of sex. She rocked on her heels, holding her ankles In her hands and smiled with the winsome sweetness which so few in the world knew she possessed. "I like little boys," she said, "and I haven't any. But I've got a pony. Name's Buckskin." Here's an Interesting trio-- heroine, boy and dog. Will Nance solve the mystery of the two wild things? (TO BE CONTINUED.) Hia City of Refugm The train came to a grinding stop at a small town in the South, and the head of a gentleman of color protruded from a window at the end of a car. Seated by his side could be seen a brown-skinned maiden. "Does yo' know a cullud pusson by de name o' Jim Brown what lives here?" he asked of a station lounger.

The tall was where the head should have been the creature had a sort of trunk 14 Inches in diameter and about five feet long, the end being like the snout of a pig. The backbone was very prominent and the whole body covered with snowwhite hair. "For ten days." said Mr. Ballance, "this mass lay Inert On the eleventh day there was tot a sign of the creature. 1 met some natives, whe told me that while fishing they had seen the monster out at sea, going no the coast, and that is the last mm hmwm hardly seemed possible that the] ten fleet long aad twe feet wide, and o t it" orts Dress in SjSi It Is entertaining to hear about the latest sports silhouette. Any such definite and Important thing as a silhouette in connection with sports dress Is as new ss the social sports element ijself. For many seasons, says a fashion writer In the New York Times comfort and convenience were the onljr considerations In tho costume of one who went In for stvenuous pastime. There was no standard of style. Almost anything that could be found tm answer the purpose went into the outdoor frocks. According to some representative creators, sports dress is the hlgb light in this season's fashion picture. Curiously enough, the Parisian, for ages past the apostle of feminine type, is now the most extreme among designers of sports clothes for women. In models from well-known houses the famliia/ straight cut mannish Idea of a suit usually thought of as English, is In eclipse. Now a fine point is made In the silhouette. Question of Waistline. Latterly the question of waistline has been emphasized and the return to a normal belt point has been promised by this or that style'authority. A few charming Illustrations have been presented In period costumes, and since the outline of this season has been softened with drapery, circulars and godets, something like a curve has appeared in the bodice above the hips. Now the most radically curving silhouette Is Introduced in the sports suit In a model riding habit, successfully adopted by an American tailor, are both the curved waistline and the flaring skirt In this suit the breeches are English, while the sleeveless coat riaching well below the hips is of the type now most popular In Paris. In another exceedingly swagger model especially designed for riding at the resorts, the waistline 1s at the normal latitude, but easy. Close-fitting breeches that button at the side are tucked Into boots, and are topped by a short plaited skirt which is attached to the bodice. The skirt and brecches are made of checked goods In brown and white. The bodiced blouse and a short jacket very like an eton, are of plain brown kasha. This model is the creation of Worth, who is one of the last of the prominent Parisian designers to turn his attention and his genius to the sports type of clothes. The chief consideration in designing these shapely, stylish sports suits is that they may be worn on many different occasions. With a fine appreciation of lines, of flattering design and that elusive something named chic, an artist succeeds In achieving a costume in which one may appear at tea in the country, stop for a game at the tennis coArts or the polo grounds, or drop In at the club, en passant. Once one would be foond In such togs In any conventional environment only with apology. A popular, natve little frock in which one is ready for almost any activity In the country is made with a straight narrow skirt in which the fullness Is laid In an Inverted plait in front and one in the back. The bodice of the plain, jumper model with high shirt collar and pockets, is stitched to the skirt by a straight belt of the material. Buttons are sewed In a row on a plait down the front of the waist, on the pocket flaps and cuffs. A sports ensemble which will be seen a lot at country clubs and at the different sports events consists of a white skirt, plaited of wrap-around, an embroidered sweater and topcoat usually in white. Demand for Sports Toga. , It is always Intriguing to devise original styles in these salts. In whloh much latitude In the picturesque offert. with the genuine sportswoman sports dress is a necessary fashion. With others, a fad with which to poet or to amuae themselves, it is the one type Sf-: Straight-Lin* Dress of 8tlell Alpaca for Qolf. Ptnk of costume In which, so to speak, everything goes, so It be smart. The latest fancy Is for the Wild West Idea. Togs for riding, shooting, Ashing, hiking are made somewhat In the manner of the Western cowboy's trappings. Leather breeches and tunics, belts and gloves are trimmed with fringe, Indian bead work. Gaudy bandannas, sombreros and decorated boots give at least a hint of the styles as they once were found on the ranches of the Far West Leather Is much used as trimming and some of the smartest models of the more conventional type are ornamented with alligator-lizard skin, kid skin, !o squares, strips and pipings. Jolly little sports ensembles have "knickers" or the new tight-kneed riding breeches, a wrap-around skirt of kasha cloth and short Jacket Under the coat Is worn a lenther-trimmefl, sleeveless waistcoat which provides warmth and makes a complete suit for camp without the coat and skirt The up-to-date version of sports dress takes the place. In a way, of the old-style more fancy costume for garden parties, the races and other fashionable out-of-door affairs. There are still the entrancing flowered chiffons and voiles, the dainty lingerie, the lace and crepe gowns with handsome wraps of crepe or satin. These are worn by the women whose style and taste they best suit1 But for the opposite type, there are Innumerable artistic, beautiful^ yand practical gowns In latest weaves and colors. The very epitome qi elegance and opulence in sports dress appears to be expressed In the new "sports" crepe, a heavy, lustrous satiny weave, double-faced and twotoned. Silver-blue has a reverse of gendarme blue, pale orchid, deep violet, Jade green and all through a delightful variation of color symphonies. Color and Material Most Important In all of the different styles of sports costume, color and material are roost Important. Simple frocks to be worn mornings and for general sports are being made of flannel la lovely shades that are an achievement In the art of dyeing. They are shown In the new blues--azure, French, Flemish and sky blue--In sulphur and banana; In woolflower and tapestry pink; In the greens--creme de menthe, empire, stem and forestelle--and In polo tan and Ivory. White is ^as fashionable now as ever, but Is usually emphasized with a bright color, scarlet purple or green In motifs or pipings, or with bright-colored needlework. One finds among the most modish sports suits a skirt of white flannel or other wool or worsted, a sweater or overblouse elaborately embroidered In the pattern and colors of Bulgarian, Czechoslovaklan, Mexican or American Indian handcraft. Over this Is worn a coat of the white, sometimes trimmed with one of the "summer" furs. For this style of coat fox, white or red or brown. Is often est used. As to colors most in vogue, they are green in every known shade, purple, from pale lilac to wistaria, and for the rest yellow, shading from silvery corn yellow to flaming marigold. The sports Idea in dress draws within a wide circle many costumes so named only because they equip one for social life In the summer which Is more and more' In the open. Flannel, cloth, tweed and worsted are the fabrics most used for the more athletic suits. For morning wear, motoring, tennis or golf in hot weather there are lighter materials. The two-piece Jumper frock of Jersey, the sailor or middy suit of linen or lightweight serge, pongee or crepe are very popular, particularly with the younger set Some of these gowns and coats are Illustrating the charm of stuffs with colored borders In floWer or conventional pat- Inexpensire Dress Inexpensive dresses of jersey or kasha are trimmed with Jabots of dotted silk, the dotp being about the slse of pennies.
