Ihe Doctor saw it otherwise. lie
| grunted himself awake got the vOcif-
erous Ump by the neck, and punctu-
ated his remarks with sharp Whacks of
boot. And then he got tin bucket,
| advised Ump for good and all to hold
his peace, and clapped the bucket over
him.
The Doctor slept no more, not be-
cause of Ump's warning, but because
dawn was at hand, and he had certain
gleeful plans for showing his son-in-
law how to extract wary old trout
from the deep pool, all before break
fast.
When the others were again asleep,
he carefully got into his khaki, iointed
up his split bamboo and ducksA out
side. He did not hear the tin bucket
suddenly overturn as he went through
the wet fern for the river. He would
not have'appreciated it had he known
that imp was out to protect his
master in the forest.
He followed the snag, turned down
the river a quarter of mile, and
came to the bluff. 1t lowered above
the important little stream, only d
ledge 20 feet above the water, permit
ting passage. To cast from this ledge
| took all the Doctors skill, But his
wrist had lost none of it's cunning.
His fly fiecked the pool for an instant
skipped away, touched the wimples
again. A brown flash split the water
The Doctor whipped a wmple farther
upstream; the great trout followed.
He struck. The Doctor held his pole
rigid. He forgot to play the trout
The silk line snapped.
Behind him on the ledge was an
OminOus rattle of unsheathed claws on
rock. He wheeled, his pole held up
right.
And there was the unknown. the
thing that does not happen. the thing
undreamed. lie was face to face with
the wilderness, up against what men
were up against ere ever they placed
word upon paper.
A cougar was flattened on the ledge
between him and camp. 1t was 90
feet away-one leap. Nine feet it
stretched to the tip of it's heavy tail
and that tail whipped from side to
side against the rocks. It's shoulders
bulged above its sinuOus body.
Almost soundlessly it snarled. it's
mouth vast, it's little ears flattened on
it's tigerish head The Doctor stared.
AS a matter of knowledge. he knew
that cougars seldom attack. Yet as
he stared it crept forward and what

to his master and tell him these i'm
portant things.
Yet, that was wholly ridiculous, as
his one attempt showed. Back at the
house in the valley Ump had had no
duties and no cause to serve his mas
! ter; wherefore, he had no cause to
! love him. He had amused himSelf
| with superficial cunning, stealing
! pound Of butter when the refrigerator
! door was open, or killing barred
rock hen occasionally and suffering
gentle beating in consequence. Ana
he had amused the Doctors daughters
in about the same way that dolls had
once amused them.
| Here in the forest he suddenly dis
covered meaning and purpose in his
own existence. 1t was unnamable,
indefinable, but none the less real.
Looking at the man. Ump knew that
he loved him. He forgot that he was
a pitiful little house dog, felt instead
that he was Dog, mans dog, stand
ing beside his majestic master and
facing a world where fangs cleaned
in the darkness and huge, vague
bodies crept and leaped.
! He did not sulk for long. The
voices called and challenged him.
Crawling across the clearing, he spent
an hour venturing, step at a time,
into the forest. He came to the base

on the trail of a cougar or some
thing" said Alene.
The doctor was indignant civil
lied? imp isn't civilized; he never
was civilized; he was jus: sick, and
now he's getting we'll" Which was
as close to profundity as the doctor
had come in all his studious life.
Thus Ump finished the journey,
while the mountains closed in like a
presence, SO that even the people in
the car fell silent. He clung upon the
lamp, his eyes wet and blinded, his
nose stretched forward as far as he
could stretch it. He did not shift po-
sition. He never looked aside. All his
tiny being was listening, sensing, feel
ing those thousand ancient voices in
the ancient wind. And they became
more than sudden sibilant voices.
They became forms and phantoms,
glimpses of vague forms and shaggy
phantoms that seemed, to Ump, to
come streaming down the wind to him.
At noon they made permanent camp
on little fiat high In the Umpquas.
When Ump saw this he climbed down
from the lamp. He did not run to
them in play, though he was con.
scious in a new way of his duty to
them. He was not the Ump of old.
He was no longer sick. This was his

hid behind the mountain ash, and
there spent the night. Nor did the
magic of the night soothe him.

Thomas closed the gate. The car
started. Cmp got up from the dust
as the car passed over him. He trot-

running board, crouched against the
fender. Then they were whizzing
down the white road, the out road,

doctor raised his own voice:

The Doctor did not know that
| Umpqua, too, braced on the running
board. heard the song of the wind
heard and felt more than he or any
| of them heard or felt. Such strange
such subtle things, indeed, the wind
from Off the mountains poured into
Cmpqua's ears and nose that he for
got after a while his fear of his foot
ing on the lurching board, and un'
consciously crept forward. He
crawled past the fore door. along the
hood, put his feet on the lamp and
stretched forward.
He could not stretch far enough.
He thrust his nose well out into the
wind. 1t tore at him, drove into his
nostrils--and he stretched farther
climbed upon the lamp itself. until
half his body was ahead of the car.
The wind from the mountains blew
through him, blew into his blood.
He was drunk on the words and
music of it, it's shouted knowledge
and whispered secrets that were like
patches of fame swirling and eddy
ing in the driving substance. The
air was green, almost palpable. SEEM
ingly alive. Ump was like a weather
vane pointed into it.
The people in the car shouted. The
doctor even swore, damning the lit
tie fyste that had slowed away on
his car. Alene shrieked to Ump to
come back, lest he be killed. And
none of them noticed the rut until
the front wheels struck it and the
car plunged and lurched.
stop. Daddy" cried Alene.
stop yourself" snorted the doc
tor. Let the little devil go back
home. I've taught him to stay home.
He knows better than to sneak out
and get on this car. We can't look
out for him in the mountains. Some
jackrabbit would eat him. Let him
be; he'll go home"
And imp, picking himself up from
the dust, saw a rapidly vanishing car
and a trail of hieroglyphics in the
road that the tires had left.
NEXT morning. as camp was
breaking in the foothills. he
limped along those hieroglyphics,
little white mite crawling between
two walls of giant trees. And Alene,
now a slim khaki figure, ran and
gathered him up.
She said nothing to the doctor. He
could not now say anything. The
fyste had won his right to ride.
imp was changed. He allowed
Alene to gather him into her lap. and
he was too exhausted TO nibble the
sandwich she saved for him. But
when the car started up the dank
road into the black-forested UmpQuas
he stirred. He got to the side Of the
seat, hung his head over, pointed it
into the wind.
They stopped at a spring, and
Cmp, too, must drink. He declined
to re-enter the car. Alene pleaded.
The doctor got out and drove him
around and around. He retreated
under the car.
LET the little fool walk" growled
the doctor He'll be nothing but a
nuisance to us on the whole trip. If
he gets back home alive it will be
miracle"
When he slammed the door imp
jumped aboard, climbed along the
fender and took up his perch on the
headlight.
He's crazy" said the doctor.
Cray on air.
