Lovfand a Scrap Book By DAVID A. OUitTiS. ECqpgrxight by American Press Aadoeiatkia] CHAPTER I. HOW THEY UST. Feor the loot of thess trees lay a woman m a fateit. Across from a field, far to the right of the dtisty road, came the sound of a shout. The air, quivering with summer heat, seemed reluctant to carry it. Everything had been so still before that the faint murmurs of insect life and the chattering and barking of the red scpiir- rels m the stone walls had seemed like disturbances, and the stillness, like a sentient being, had merely moved a lit- tle to make room for an annoyance, settling down again after each small noise like a tired sleeper. Then the shout came, flying straight and swiftly, across the meadows and fell plump m the dust. Then all was still again. Not ! even a bird chirped. Young Fanning moved uneasily m his deep. He was lying on the grass m the shade of a huge elm, waiting for the fooler part of the day before rambling further on the purposeless stroll he had undertaken. The sudden noise, faint as it was, broke his deep slumber and set him dreaming. The dream awoke him. Another shout followed the first, and as if nature had been roused from a Blnmber like his own the air stirred more readily — the sound came less like a rifle bullet. It was more prolonged than the first, and there was an accent to it sufficient to bring young Fanning to his feet. Some one was calling for help. He listened a moment, but the air was still again. It was a stillness that, like Egypt's darkness, could be felt. Raising bis voice,' he sent out a mighty cry that shattered the repose. A little breeze stirred. A bird called back with a little carol. A crow cawed lazily from hia perch somewhere m the woods. Fan- ning waited, listening keenly. There was a brief delay. Then the third call came, fainter and yet plainer than tiie others. A woman was calling and her voice was throbbing with pain. Fanning waa bored. He had left his chambers m the city for a lazy tour on foot, feeling that work was out of the question by reason of the heat, and here on the first day he was called on to res- cue an unknown woman from unknown trouble. He felt that it was an imposi- tion, but could not see liis way clear to ignore the demand, being very human. Tightening his belt, he sprang lightly , over the low stone wall and ran across tho fields directly toward the spot where the woman lay. It was rough ground,, and he ran very swiftly, but his breath was easy and measured, his head was erect and his chest well out. He was a rather small man, but his spare frame was all bone and muscle, and every muscle was well developed. A quarter of a mile of this easy run- ning brought him to a little grove. It was a neglected place. The undergrowth was rank and tangled. Briery shoots were interlaced like a network without order or design. Weeds choked the bet- ter capabilities of the soil. Saplings that cumbered space drained the vitality of worthier trees, and none were thrifty ex- cepting a few old ones that were strong enough to hold their own and that looked down with lofty contempt at the brush beneath. It was a world m little. Near the foot of these trees, as Fan- ning saw, drawing near, lay a woman m a faint. The man looked, m a dis- gust that was almost unnatural, and his first word was a malediction. Then he sighed and mopped his face with a hand- kerchief that was at once wet through. Then his face took on a professional ( look, and he muttered to himself, "Lucky I have taken my degree. There might be a scandal about this." Then the woman became the patient, and the man, equally unconscious of the change, became the physician. Sex was 1 eliminated from the problem suggested by the situation. Like any other verity, however, it failed to remain eliminated. But that was afterward. He looked keenly, and seeing that he had a swoon to treat first, he deftly and quickly loosened her dress at the neck, and lift- ing her a little wit'ia his left hand, cut the laces <of her corset, slashing through the dress with his penknife, unhesita- tingly. Then with his strong, nimble fingers ho tore the gap wider and loosened the string. Laying her back on the ground ho fanned her with bis hat. "Naturally m ouch a case," he grum- bled to himself, "there is no water at hand." Luckily, however, tho swoon was not deep, and she sat up presently, looking at him with a question m her eyes that disappeared almost instantly. Pain chased it awaj'. "Take a swallow of this," he said, pro- ducing a poekmfc flask. She obeyed, and the raw whisky made her cough. She looked reproachfully at him. "That is all right," ho said reassur- ingly. "Now tell me how you are hurt. 0 "I slipped and wrenched my foot, and when I trioc* to walk I fainted. I fancy aboneisbi'^keu." v (To be continued.) nontia All ■ , i . . "-^ i Smoke New Vennsj |
