Mormon, you need glasses fo' yore

The creature left the cover of the
mesquite and came slowly but deter

the corral and cook shack: its daring
proclaiming it anything but coward
ly. foot-hill coyote. Its brush was
down, almost trailing, its muzzle
dropped, it went lamely on all four
legs and occasionally limped on three.
"Colliei" proclaimed Sandy. "Pore

The gray-white dog came on. dry

from the porch, one paw up. as Sandy
bent forward and called to 1t.
Come on, you dawg. Come IN, OIL
feller. Mormon, take that hair out
Of that pan Of water an set 1t where
he can see It,"
Mormon shifted the pan in which he
had been soaking the horsehair for
easier plating and the dog shifted at
1t, watching Sandy closely with eyes
that were dim from thirst and weari-
ness. Sandy patted his knee encour-
agingly, and the tired animal seemed
suddenly to make up its mind. Ignor-

its head. powdered with alkali dust
that covered its coat, the collie re-
leased Its hold and collapsed on one
side, painting, utterly exhausted. with
glazing eyes that held appeal.
Sandy reached for the pan, squat
ting down, and chucked some water
from the palm Of his hand into the
open Jaws, upon the swollen tongue.

foot that clawed at his chaps and ex-
amined it. The paw was worn to the
quick, bleeding. "Come out of the
Bad lands" he said, looking toward
the range. Through Pyramid pass,

Sandy rolled the dog on his side and
found the other pads in the same con-

the ruff, scratching gently In sign Of
friendship, he discovered leather
