 Maybe the songs helped, Carolee conceded. At any rate she stayed near the old soul for an hour or more, betting her and comforting her with what help she could. The squaw eyed Carolee's gay ribbon worn to control blond hair in the wind, and Carolee gave 1t to her. Then her eyes shone in pleasure in spite of her pain.
 "She say she hunt clay with her burro,' one Indian translated, and break leg in fall Burro go off. She die there, but white girl come. She never forget"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-08
CHAPTER XII

On the day that the sheriff's posse went into the mountain, correspondent from Phoenix daily learned of the disappearance of Paul Colter. Then the journalistic wheels began to spin.
 Headlines on Superstition are as recurrent as the seasons in Ari- zona, and most of them have to do with missing men. Each time someone gets lost there the whole legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine is rehashed and embellished, and the public thrills to 1t again and again. Love of gold is second only to love of women, and nobody knows that better than a newspaper editor.
 Reporters came to Superstition Lodge and wanted to join search ing party. That suited Stuart Blake It meant action, and this energetic young man was anxious to be doing something. The papers sal dthat more than 100 persons gathered to join the second party, but officers stepped in at that point and can celed the plans. Too many untrain- cd men scrambling over Supersti- ton, they declared, could do more harm than good, especially in blot ting out possible trails of the miss ing Paul. A few experienced out doorsmen and @ dog, also possibly some good observers in an airplane, were more useful. The crowds went on back home to read the papers. Stuart felt an urge to be near Car olee and watched constantly for her cliff signal.
 She met him on the second day, 24 hours after the sheriff had gone in. but they talked only a little while.
 "Mother is worrying constantly" " she explained, "and I mustn't leave her long. She hoped the men would be back with news last night.
 "No sign of them?" asked Stuart.
 SNo. Nothing"
 sYoW dad will know about where Paul would be, because of the map your men were using, That ought to help the sheriff, and with the dog they'll surely find some thing today"
 He gave her several copies of tie newspapers about the affair, and rode Q mile or two with her along the lower reaches of the mountain. They were careful this time, however, to note landmarks and stick to more open route, in order not to lose themselves again.
 when they had finally separated to retur nto their home, Carolee felt an inward glow of Satisfac- ton; just being with Stuart Blake had coinforted her. eased the worry over her missing brother. She had confidence in PaulS ability to take care of himself anyway. She hunamed songs and talked sweet talk to Chieftain, whom she petted more than is any horses due, but that's the way she felt. Thus was she riusing, day-dreaming, when her reverie was interrupted by distinct groan.
 The sound frightened her.
 
 She did not immediately see It's source. It could have been an ani- mai. But then 1t was repeated, and tinquestionably 1t was human, Someone seemed trying to attract attention, with odd means and noises of suffering.
 Heart pounding, Carolee called put. "What is it7" and went in the direction of the sound.

 It surprised friends when Johnny Jones announced his marriage be- cause they had always thought him as ABSENT-MINDED FATHER and it seemed odd to watch him lead his TIRED IDIOT away after the ceremony. But they were not sur- prised year later to hear that he was a BLITHERING NUISANCE of a CROOKED BACHELOR.
 And how happy he was at the ELUSHING CITIZEN. He went around acting like a NEW BUSI- NESS MAN for a large wholesale house, he managed to spuread the news widely. The PROUD POLITI- CLANS considered him a PUBLIC EpIRITED TIRE and in one of the college towns which he visisted an EVENT SALESMAN asked him what breed his new dog was. This made him angry and his shouting aroused khe indignation of a CONFIRMED FLAT who ordered his arrest. But keing in with the BLESSED PRO- LESSOR, Johnny was soon released
