I'll throw it so far you'll never get back!'
That showed how well he understood dogs.
She was a red, undulating streak that fielded
the ball as it rolled on the hard wet sand,
and snatched it from the reaching sea. She
was back in matter of seconds, exuding Joy.
Do it 0gGini she said gaily. DO it again!
Get going!' Steve said sharply. Leave
me alone"
She sat down and barked. She brought the
ball closer, and it rolled, wet and cold, against
Evening star., 1950-08-27

The sun was still warm. 1t was very def
nitely one of those days expressly created for
two persons, and Steve felt guilty enjoying it
alone. But he was already feeling better as
he stripped off T-shirt and white trousers,
and sprawled on the sand in his trunks.
Maybe they were right about his subcon-
scious. Lying here without care, unwind
ing slowly. he could fairly feel his subconscious
filling itself like a sponge. He was doing
when something cold and wet nudged his bare
ribs, and he jumped foot.
There was furry of sand, and sharp,
challenging bark. A button-eyed little girl

a dog high and two dogs long. stood just be-
yond arms length. She wore collar and
held a rubber ball in her mouth.

MDAFTERNooNo of the next day, Steve parked
his convertible at a loose aggregation of cot
tages called Sand n Surf, and found they
were long way from either. The trail went
across leafy meadow, wound around steep
mountainside, skirted cliff, and dropped
into canyon that finally came out on blight

there was no getting rid of her.
Look at you!'' he said sarcastically. did
you ever take serum to Nome? No. Or
brandy to an Alpinist? No. Of all the over
drawn, silly stuff I've written about dogs,
there was nothing about pooch like you.
If I've got to be pals with canine, it's going
to be big, noble dog What are you good
for?"
Play with me! she begged. lore you, mis-

Nor Steve said firmly. "And I'm going
where you can't follow I'm going in the surf.
Now, get homer
She picked up her ball and waddled with
him to the edge of the water. A big wave
broke white and ran whispering up the sand.
She retreated, then watched forlornly as he
waded into the surf. The last he saw of her,
she was trotting down the beach toward the
nearest other person, looking for somebody to
play games.
1t WAS fifteen minutes later that the grand
father of all waves broke behind Steve's sud-
denly hunched shoulders. He jumped, but
his timing was bad. The green folded under,
the white broke over him in seething fury,
and he rolled head over heels. When he finally
regained footing again, gasping and stum-
bling toward the beach, catastrophe had
struck. His glasses were gone.
The frowning mountains were gone; the
beach and everything on it became myopic
blur. He wiped the water from his smarting
eyes and remembered that it was sundown.
and the short twilight was already beginning
to fade This made little difference, because he
couldn't see ten feet away, but it meant that
the beach was deserted.
He fought down the desire to call for help,
being sensitive. Nobody would understand.
Corrected by glasses, his vision was quite
normal. Without them, he was helpless The
whole affair would have been ridiculous ex-
cept that the Sand n Surf cottage - and
probably the nearest telephone - was at the
end of that long, winding trail.
The first emotion, half panic, half anger,
passed He moved along the sand, made out
a shapeless white patch, and knew thankfully
that he had found his pants and shoes. He
dressed. and sat on the sand to think. came

I left the canyon or sUas ii t,oo hundred?

A WET rubber ball rolled down the sand and
came to rest against his hand. The ball s owner
said, "AU! Afr" Steve whirled angrily.
Go away!' he growled. IF it hadn't been
for you - no, wait minute! Come here!
What's your name?"
She didn't say, but she probably lived
somewhere around here. She came up to him
willingly enough, trying to put the ball into
his hand He felt in his pocket and found
nothing to use for leash, so he pulled the
laces from his sneakers, and tied them to-
gether.
Throw my ball for me! she begged. Let's
play some more!
