Babe came up on her haunches as Rusty approached, whistling. With the aid of her flash, she lo cated the wound, cleaned the im mediate area and damped on the pad she had ready, “Now come on, girl. Up, Babe." Slowly they made their way to the sump bridge, where the trailer waited. “It I only had two hands—" she wailed. “I got two,” came Manny's voice. • “Coax her in. There—good Babej easy, girl. . . . Now, young man, you go back to the house. Do you want Mother to worry her self sick " “No, she won’t. Ling’s goin’ to tell her we’ve gone to the city— but he ain't tellin’ her till we get clear I made hfm promise." “Manny!" But it was nice to have com , P*ny, even though that company to look at her pony. So far, w Where y’ taking her?” asked Manny. _ .! ‘‘I’ll take her to Doc Harness place.

Rusty came to the acreage ot Doctor Harness—a white cottage white buildings, white stables and white-boarded corrals. A single light burned over the entrance to the cottage as she drove in—a small red light ovei a night bell. thin woman stepped out. ‘‘Well?” she asked. ‘‘Our horse got shot,” Manny announced. “Is the doctor in?” Rusty ask ed. “I’m expecting him any min ute,” the woman said shortly. “It you’ll back your trailer to that gate,there is a shed just beyond.’ She went ahead, a spare, black clad figure, switching on hoodea lights, speaking in a soothing vo 1 ice to the dogs in a nearby kenne'i who had raised their voices in complaint at the intrusion. “Sounds better’n she looks," whispered Manny. Rusty, involved in backing the trailer through a narrow roadway didn’t answer. She wasn’t inter ested in the woman, merely in the doctor. She hoped he— There, that was a car now. Manny had the end gate off the trailer, and Rusty was backing the wary Babe out, when she heard a step behind her. “My sister tells me your horse was shot,” remarked a voice. Rusty wheeled. There, under the lights of the shed , stood the stranger who’d taught her a lesson. On discovering that the veteri narian was the red-haired strang er named Herb, Rusty was speech less with suprise. “I^t’s have a look at the pony," he was saying. “What’s her name?” “Babe,” supplied Manny eager ly, “and, gee, the gangsters got her with Sis right on her back! Rusty watche Babe quiet under the touch of his hands. She saw him turn, lift an eyebrow at the woman who stood in the back ground, saw her turn and disap I pear, to reappear with an open topped box of instruments. “You’re not going to like this. Babe,” he informed the wary-eyed pony, “but it has to be done. Ah, now, we’ll just go on talking to you, and if your mistress talks to me and tells me what happened— He couldn’t be one of them, Rusty told herself. No man with such tenderness in his hands could fire into a herd of cattle. As she told him what had hap pened, he worked swiftly, surely, i probing for the bullet, swabbing | stiching. The tall, thin woman handed him each instrument, an ticipating his every need.

He did not like telephones and refused to say more than, “Of course every thing’s all right—” and "You ought to be spanked—driving out on a highway at night with gang sters about! Now get along home!” The kitten followed Rusty to the breakfast room. “She seems to have adopted me,’ Rusty remarked, as Miss Westmore served her. “Well, I wish you’d adopt her.’ retorter the woman tartly.
