The sound and echoes might carry down the canyon, although I doubt it. Anyway, it would seem that the girl wants solitude. Per haps she is, uh, distracted men tally; seeking repose." Ronica considered that. "I don't think o." "Why?" "I don't know, just a hunch. She's not the type for it." "I confess that we of the faculty have found her a little, uh, diffi cult to classify. She is a fair stu dent. But there is an air of mys tery about her. Intensified now, in my mind." "She's awfully pretty," Ronnie said. "Attractive to men." "Yes." "You like her, don't you, Wes? I could tell you did that night at the dance. And she talked to me on the campus later." "Talked to you about me?" Ronica smiled, staring oft down the canyon. "You'd be surprised, Wes" "Oh!" "She was quite angry because I took you away that night. Re member? But you really did have the date with me, and I didn't like being stood up any more than she did, so'' "Please, Ronica, all that was most embarrassing. I regret all of it Things were mixed up!" r "I'll say! But what about now? Here we are and there she is. Won't she see our horses, maybe?" "No. I tied them in shade on the floor of the canyon; you can see them from here, but she could never discover them. Remember, we are nearly 700 feet above them and her. And anyway look, Ron ica, she is not alone, after all!" Ronica took the glasses then. She stared out intently, telling what she saw in little half-whispered tones as if afraid Lona might hear. "Sure enough Wes ...'there', a . . . . man!" She tightened the focus a bit. "Wess, it really is a man, but he is not on a horse." ' "No. I saw that." "Strange! Who is it, I wonder?" "Possibly it is none of our of our ". "Nn. of our business," she my. 1 LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE plied.

It is good to have a pretty girl tell you that you are a .well egg. It means more than a citation from the dean of the college. "In a way," said he, "it is my business, too. For I am a faculty member, on second thought. And she a student.'' "I want to know what', going "Uh so do I!" "I can't Identify the man, Wes. You try." He took the binocular, back and used them. "It is no man I know." "You don't suppose .he is in danger? Does .he see the man?" "She must. In fact I think she has hailed him.... Yes... What in the world would a man be out here for afoot?

Ron ica could see them only as tiny moving dots away off, but to Wes their motions were distinct even I in detail. "My curiosity is giving me the tingles," said Ronnie. "And any wayhave you noticed that it's late? The sun is already out of sight over that west wall, and we have quite a ride back to Pueblo." "That's true, but don't be afraid." He seemed more intent than ever. "I am never afraid. I just men-1 tioned it .... Can you see them! now?- "No. No, Ronnie, I can't! You said the man just seemed to ap pear out of the mountain side. Well, by George, the mountain has swauowed both of them again!" "Hunh!" He lowered his binoculars to stare at her. "Yes! She rode to a sort of natural rock enclosure, dis mounted near the man, and to-1 gether they just walked into the side of the rock hill!" (To Be Continued) There are about the same num ber of species of mammals and reptiles, but these two classes combined are greatly outnum bered by the specie, of birds. Stories in. stamps Medicine Offers Wide Field for Specialist , TUVMEROUS postal designs il 1 lustrating phases of medical science lure many philatelists into specialized collections of these items. Portrait of physicians and medical scientists, stamps relating to social and health services, care of sick and injured, drugs and medical discoveries are but a few of the subdivisions included in medical philately. Red cross stamps, such as the last issue of the French Republic, above, are annual Issues in many countries. United States has re jected suggestions for a Red Cross Mini-postal, but honored that or ganization with a 50th anniversary commemorative in 1931. Anti-tuberculosis stamp. Iden tified by the double-barred cross, are plentiful. The U. S. Christ mas Seals, while not valid for postage, are accepted philatelic items. United States honored Dr. Wal ter Reed. U. S. Army surgeon, and Dr. Crawford Long, discoverer of ether, in the scientist set of the Famous American serias. WHAT? AKir W I SA I THflf EVIDENCE? jjr It VaWO AND LITTLE FISHES! clarence!
