not the kind of hraln that acts quickly,
nor was his body's mechanism «he sort
that quickly responds to that brain's
message. His eyes were china-blue In
a round red face that whs covered
with a stubble of stiff golden hair. His
round moon of a head was set low and
solidly between his great shoulders, so
that as he began to turn It now, slow
ly, you marveled at the process and
waited fearfully to hear a creak. He
was turning his head toward Selina,
hut keeping his gaze on the spot be
tween his horse's ears. Evidently the
head und the eyes revolved by quite
distinct processes. Now he faced Se
lina almost directly. His pale blue eyes
showed Incomprehension.
"Beautiful?" he echoed, In puzzled

that embraced the landscape on which

“This! The—the cabbages."
A slow dawning film of fun crept
over the blue of Klass Pool’s stare.
Thia film spread almost Imperceptibly
so that It fluted his broad nostrils, met
and widened his full lipa, reached and
agitated Ids massive shoulders, tickled
the round belly, so that sll KlaaiPool,

heavy Dutch mirth.

glee. "Cabbages Is beautiful 1“ His
silent laughter now rose and breams
audible In a rich throaty chortle. It
w”aa plain that laughter, with Klnas
Pool, was not a thing to be lightly dis

choked a little, and spluttered, over

Kellna laughed, too, even while aha

Which was, certainly, no way for a

had read Byron at aeventeen.
Klaus Pool knew nothing of chry

Nor, for that matter, of lade and Bur

Dutch to the early Wakefield. But

with Persian patterns!
The horses clopped down the heavy
