CHAPTER V-Continued

Brands got one, too," said the child,
'only Diamond amt pony-he's a
horse. He's big horse. Brand has
got TO swing me pretty high to get me
up. When we ride"
But again some inner warning
stopped him, some stern habit closed
his mouth.
Nance held out a hand
And so it was that after while Blue
Stone canyon saw the miracle of
friendship grow like a magic flower in
its pale light, for the girl talked low
and sweetly to the child in her lap
and strangest of all, the savage collie
sat gravely on his plumy tail beside
the two, accepting the turn of fate.
When Nance made ready to go away
at noon she knew that Brand was COM
ing at night, that these two had al
ways ridden on Diamond, and that
they would ride again some day, while
Dirk, the collie, would run beside them.
She knew that Brand was always gone
in daylight, and that the cave by the
rock below was home.
But that was all she did know, or
could find out, except that the child's
name was Sonny and that he was
seven.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that
she had inadvertently called him that,
that she owed the success of the hour.
Be that is it may, the yearning pity
which she felt made Nance use the last
and greatest of feminine wiles TO win
him TO her.
''I'm going away now" she said smil-
ing into the grave brown eyes In the
little face, ''but il you'll kiss me-and
won't tell Brand thing about me. I'll
come again tomorrow-and I'll bring
you some more goodies. How about
it?"
The promise, the kiss-these COM
pleted the downfall of the lonely wait
and Nance's heart ached anew at the
pathetic grip Of the weakened arms
about her neck.
From the far bend she looked back
and this time 1t was to see the two
strange denizens of Blue Stone canyon
watching her in the habituaI repression
and silence of their unnatural lives, but
withal so hungrily that the mist swan

kill him; the Mohammedan. who does
not object to killing, knows that with

figure, the wealth of India would be
