Jack Onslow. formerly OF the Mt.

strong bid for a catching job on
the Fort Wayne bunch. received some
timely advice while playing with the
Dallas. Texas. team. just for calling
Johnny McGraw. the scrappy New

Another Sunday man and horse and dog roved the Piedmont hills And again Daylight and Dede rode togeth- CT. But this time her surprise at meeting him was tinctured with sus- picion: or rather, her surprise was Of another order. The previous Sunday had besn quite accidental, but his appearing the second time among her favorite haunts hinted of more than the fortuitous Daylight was made 10 feel that she suspected him, and he. remembering that he had seen a big rock quarry near Blair Park. stated ofhand that he was think ing of buying it. His one-time investment in brickyaTd had put the idea into his head-an idea that he decided was Q good one. for it enabled him to suggest that she ride along with him to inspect the quarry.
 So several hours he spent in her company. in which she was much the same girl as before, natural. unaffect- ed, lighthearted, smiling and laugh ing. a good fellow. talking horses with unfagging enthusiasm. making friends with the crusty-tempered Wolf. and expressing a desire 10 ride Bob, whom she declared she was more in love with than ever Against his better judg- ment, Daylight gave in, and. on an unfrequented stretch of road, changed saddles and brides.
 Remember, he's greased lightning. he warned. as he helped her to mount
 She nodded, while Bob pricked up his ears to the knowledge that he had a strange rider on his back. The fun came quickly enough--too quickly for Dede, who found herself against Bobs neck as he pivoted around and bolted the other way. Daylight followed on her horse and watched. He saw her check the animal quickly to a standgtill, and immediately. with rein across neck and decisive prod oi the left spur. whirl him back the way he had come and almost as swiftly. "Get ready 10 give him the quirt on the nose" Daylight called
 He hung almost gleefully upon her actions in anticipation Of what the tAdtltDlH DoD was sAAAE " S1Ns hAA Bob got it. on his next whirl, or at tempt rather, for he was no more than halfway around when the quirt met him smack on his tender nose. There and then. in his bewilderment, sur prise and pain. his fore feet. just skim ming the road, dropped down.
 Great Daylight applauded. "A couple more will fix him. He's too smart not 10 know when he's beaten"
 Again Bob tried. But this time he vas harely quarter around when the doubled quirt on his nose compelled him to drop his fore feet to the road Then, with neither rein nor spur. but by the mere threat of the qUirt, she straightened him out
 Dede looked triumphantly at Day light.
 Let me give him run?" she asked
 Daylight nodded, and she shot down the road. He watched her out of sight around the bend, and watched tin she came into sight returning. She

On the other hand. suddenly 10 leave her and go flashing down the back-traek, plying quirt and spurs. wouldn't do, either What was wanted was method YheIewith to prevent that lightning whirl. He must stop the animal be fore it got around. The reins would not do this. Neither would the spurs Remained the quirt. But how to ac- complish 1t? Bob always whiried to the right Very well. He would double the quirt h his hand, anG, the instant Of the whirl, that double quirt would rap Bob on the nose. The horse didn't live, after it once learned the lesson, that would whirl in the face of the doubled quirt
 More keenly than ever. during that week in the office, did Daylight realize that he had no social. nor even human contacts with Dede. The situation was such that he could not ask her the simple question whether or not she was going riding next Sunday Thus he found another card in the hand the mad god had dealt him. How i'm portant that card was to become be did not dream, yet he decided that it was pretty good card.
 Sunday came, and Bob. out in the Piedmont hills, behaved like an angel His goodness at times was of the spirited, prancing order, but other wise he was a lamb. But no Dede did Daylight encounter. He vainly circled about among the hill roads, and in the afternoon took the steep grade over the divide of the second range and dropped into Maraga Valley. Just after passing the foot of the descent, he beard the hoof beats of a cantering horse. It was from ahead and coming toward him. What if it were Dedeg lie turned Bob around and started to return at a walk The canter came nearer, but he faced straight ahead until he heard the horse behind check to a walk. Then he glanced over his shoulder. IL was Dede. The recogni- tion was quick. and. with her accom- panied by surprise. What more natural thing than that. partly turn ing his horse. he should wait till she caught up with him; and that. when abreast. they should continue abreast on up the grade? He could have sighed with relief. The thing was accomplished. and so easily Greetings had been exchanged; here they were side by side and going in the same direction with miles and miles ahead Of them.
 He noted that her eye was first for ;he horse and next for him

 His lifelong fear of woman had orig mated out of misunderstanding and had also prevented him from reaching any understanding Dede on horse back. Dede gathering peoples on a summer hillside. Dede taking down dictation in her swift shorthand strokes-all this was eomprehensibie to him. But he did not know the Dede who so quickly changed from mood to mood. the Dede who refused steadfastly to ride with him and then suddenly consented. the Dede in whose eyes the golden glow forever waxed and waned and whispered hints and messages that were not for his ears. Tn all such things he saw the slimmering profundities of sex, acknowledged their lure. and accept ed them as i1comprehensible.
