devotion to one Of the daughters, since
he was now an unquestiOned lOyallst.
Next morning Erskine rode forth
along sandy road, amidst the sing

on the James. He had forSworn Colo

knew the confidence would be kept in

hitchpd his horse to the lOW-sWunE
branch of an oak and took the path
through tangled rose bushes and I'M
dergrowth along the bank Of the river,
halting where it would give him forth
on the great, broad, grassy way thar
led to the house among the oaks. There
was the sundial that had marked every
sunny hour since he had been away.

her eyes downward. His heart throhhed
as he waited, throbbed the more when
his ears caught even the soft tread Of
her little feet, and seemed to stop
when she paused at the sundial, and
as before searched the river with her
eyes. And as before the song of negro
0arsmen came over the yellow food
growing stronger as they neared. Soon
the girl fluttered a handkerchief and
from the single passenger in the stern
came an answering hutter of white
and a glad cry. At the bend of the
river the boat disappeared from
Erskine's sight under the bank, and he
watched the girl. How she had grown
Her slim figure had rounded and shot
upward, and her white gown had
dropped to her dainty ankles Now
her face was flushed and her eye
flashed with excltement-it was ne

one bird, after a preliminary course
of training, was taken a rough trip by
pack horse, kept overnight at its desti-
nation, and released the next day.
This carrier was back at its coop, at
headquarters, 80 minutes after it was
released, having covered 10 miles, air
line and flown over a high mountain.
Its mate equaled the performance
Another, released at dusk from the
bottom of canyon, rose abruptly,
crossed two high ranges and was at
its coop before dark. A third, carried
In back pack into high peaks Of the
Buckhorn country, flew home within
an hour, covering in that time a good
days journey for man on horseback
In the face of fire, this performance
was equaled. The ranger took two
birds to the spot where smoke had
been located. The first bird carried
instructions to send help. Not long
thereafter the fire-fighters at the front
had brought the blaze under control.
The second bird was released, coun-
termanding the first order. 1t reached
headquarters just as the summoned
assistance was about to start for the
fire, and the message it carried not
only gave welcome assurance of vic
tory over the red peril, but saved /
