CHAPTER vII-continued.

The morning was far gone when the
woodsman finished his task at the
feed-pens.
AS he stood leaning against the
fence, the events of the day before
crossed his mind-the heelprints on
the dusty deck Of the concealed house
boat; the ivory-handled six-gun; the
spark Of flint that had transformed the
peering eyes of the preacher when he
faced the desperado's knife. From
this, his mind reverted to the words of
Belden about what he had seen in the
little park.
A face rose before him-a face COM
polling in its easy suavity-that, in
spite of its studious severity, seemed
to have strange fascination for
Texie. He knew she had let him walk
home with her from the festival
privilege that meant more In the Flat
woods than anywhere else in the
world. A deep breath came up out of
his breast; his hand gripped the fence
rail hard.
But many ap insistent task lay wait
ing. The Thought reused him. AS he
raised his arm to put on his hat, the
sweat got at the cut in his shoulder
and stung him.
He had intended to haul in some
shock corn from the bottoms. He
frowned toward the wagon; plucked
the blouse loose about his shoulder;
finally went up into the woods to in
spect string of rail fence that would
have to be repaired before the stock

The girls expressive face was alive
and eager
"Why don't y'u try some day t.
trap your-fairy?"
The heart of the big woodsman rose
to his eyes. For transcendent mo-
ment the man in him, sprung from
generations Of soldiers and gentlemen,
supremacy dominated the bound boy.
He drank in the wonder of her hair,
the plump soft mystery Of her throat
and bosom, and his hands instructive
ly reached toward her.
'Td give the world-!"
He stopped; the transcendent mo-
ment passed. He dropped his eyes and
crushed his hat rim in his powerful
fingers.
The girl bent her head and a deep
thoughtfulness filmed the brown Of
her eyes.
"Jack-i"
He felt the slight tremor in her
voice and half guessed what was COM
ing.
"That face las night-it ha'nts me-"
Involuntarily he glanced up at the
high brink of the cliff, where, under
a clump of bushes, lay some mussed
leaves and pinch of pipe ashes.
Don't let it," was his slow answer.
.sThere's the pilot of the Obenchain,
now, looks a pow'rful sight like Lark
Sharp, and they amt mite of kin in
the world"
She pondered the answer and seemed
much impressed, even relieved, as he
fancied.
"How's Pap Simon t'day?'
"Por father! He amt hardly left
the house sence that-night. He's
wrote and wrote, and looked at papers

this afternoon he had Zeke Pollok up

fitted across her face She laced her
smooth fingers; gripped them. That
terrible letter! He's read it and read
It. Pore KEN"
The man reached his arm up over
the door; absently felt spray Of rose
vine, It's buds swollen big with the
mystery that was soon to be revealed.
The girl glanced at the hand among
the rosebuds and slowly turned to the
frank and thoughtful face.

The woodsman had finished his task

and returned to the cabin, where,

sound of light step coming along the

happen to be living in,'' continued
Bruce.
'True, if they live in one country
they understand what the grown-ups
of that country talk, but If the grown

dogs can understand it too.

"A dog can understand dog talk

at the Dogs Luncheon Bone club at
noon. It Is almost that now.
"We all make speeches and say that
we think there is no other place like
ours and yet we say we must keep on
and make it the finest town for dogs
in any place around.
'Ah yes, we do things besides be-
ing interested in our bonesI We think
of how we can improve our fine home
town and that's splendid thing to do.
'sBut do tell the humans, if you
think it will comfort them, that we do
feel sorry for them when we think
how many languages there are for
them to know If they want to speak
to people from other lands.
"And tell the children how sorry
we are for them that they must study
different languages instead of know
ing one language as we dogs do-ah
yes, tell them we send them our SYM
patty and an affectionate tail Wag-
ging."
So Billie Brownie went off with his
messages and Bruce, the dog, went
to his Dogs Luncheon Bone club.

He rose to his feet after a time. but

Stopping a few minutes later TO

The act was purely involuntary, but a
