She'd meant something, when she

deeply. Even though he was her

Danny Carver found himself as
helpless that evening. There was
an informal dance at the Hunt
Club and he had driven Diane out
to it. They had been dancing to-
gether, then had gone out and
down the steps to the wide sloping
lawn, away from the house. His
arm lay around her shoulders as
they sauntered along, and in a
shadow of a tree he drew her
closer and kisser her. He'd done it
very we'll, he considered.
Don't, Danny
If she'd said it with any kind of
feeling he'd have taken it as an
invitation for another. But her
tore was wholly empty of express

lips as if she didn't know what
had touched them. He was
nettled.

calling you up and asking you to
take me places. Well, here, kis,
me all you want to-" And she lift
ed her face close to his, her dips
parted provocatively, her eyes
aglint with laughter.
But Danny saw the shadow of a
dark torment, lying deeper in
them.

But l had been casting around

Linda and wondered if Mr.. Hardy

A low scudding wind had come
up, it sent the dust devils spiral
ing skyward and played tricks
with the arroyos and ridges, echo
ing and reechoing against the
rock formations. It came from the
east, bringing Monica's voice to
him distinctly yet fiinging The
words back in his face when he
tried to answer her. He knew she
couldn't hear him and was appre-
hensive.

ed warningly even though he
realized his efforts were futile.
She continued to walk toward
him and he began to run.
She was a long way off yet not
50 far that jeff couldn't see that
she was bootless. A cold horror
filled him. AS he and Star had
ridden toward the mine earlier in
the day, an ugly rattler basking
in the whiting sunshine had oc-
cupied the center of the path. Or.
dinarily jeff would have stopped
to kill it, but he was impatient
to inspect the mine and had
refined the gelding off the path
and by-passed that spot. AS the
scent Of the reptile drifted to him
Star had whinnied in fear.
Now Monica was approaching
that very section of the path!
Don't come any further!" he
yelled and waved her back. 4.

broke into run.
Her scream of terror split the

thing in the path. heard her cry
out in shrill horror and watched
her drag herself away from the
spot. When he reached her side a
moment later she was sobbing
wildly.
