XVI TF anything, the doctor said the r next morning, the row seemed to I have done Ellie good. He'd better ! stay in bed today, he said, but tomorrow he could probably get 1 up for a while. ! In the afternoon Bart brought ' the barber out from the village, and you'd never have known Ellie for the same man after he'd had a shave and his hair trimmed up and combed. Bart had brought a lot of ice cream too, and Ellie liked that. He sat up in bed eat ing it and joking with Bart while Agnes and Debby and Joel were eating tneirs in the dining room, and his voice was still husky but not wheezy the way it had been. And suddenly he called out, "Hi there, Joel," and caught Debby sort of off her guard and she had to run out to the kitchen to keep Joel from seeing the tears in her eyes. That was all there was to it, practically, just "Hi there. Joel." Joel did say. "Hi, Ellie, bow you feeling?" and Ellie an ' swered, "Fine, how's yourself?" and that was all Vje:e was is it, but Debby knew it was for her, and it was just the same as if Ellie had brought her a dozen roses. But later,- when she tocic 'oel in to see him, she could tell in a minute that Ellie still didn't like him. He had looked first at her and then at Jcl, and she Could tell it right away from the way he looked at him.

"A bird dog ain't much use," Ellie had said, "if he's tied up all the time." "I know, Ellie, but it's the law," John Qualey had answestiS. "If I see him running loose after this, it's up to me to shoot him." So Bull had learned to work towing 60 to 70 yards of clothes line behind him. He ranged free when no one was in sight, but Debby was always ready to grab the end of the rope. He was wild. All fall, whenever anybody had brought out a gun, he had started to yip and skid around the kitchen, which just went to show, Debby maintained, that he had had some real train ign down there in Tennessee after all. It was about the only proof there was. But this morning, when Bart and Joel had appeared with their guns in their hands, he had seemed to sense that this time it really did mean business, and he had gone so wild around the house that they had had to hurry him out into the yard to save the furniture. She had left her gus home, figuring that handling him would fc a full-time job, fid she had tied the eiid of the leash around her waist, just to be sure, and then coiled 30 yaiCs of it in her hand, leaving him with 40 yards of scope, which didn't seem to him to be nearly enough. All the way up the first long hill it was a tug of war; with Bull's belly scraping the ground and his muscles work ing like spring steel, and Debby pulling and shouting and laughing and leaning backwards so far that if Bull had let up suddenly it would have been bad news. AS they got into the good coun try, Debby suddenly knew that Bull was hunting. He was strain home. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Copsey, Dick, and Sonny, of Omaha, spent the week end at their home here. W. J.

And she liked the way he looked: his head high and working from side to side, sort of sampling the wind, and his tail waving away boldly. For all his funny looks, she thought, he looked like a bird dog. He was hunting now, and there was no reason why she shouldn't let him off the leash. She pulled him in and untied the knot. Bull started out at a run, and Debby watched him anxiously. As he got about 70 yards away he slowed down to a trot, looking over his shoulder, and then it gradually dawned on him that Debby no longer had hold of the other end of the line, and he started to run again. "Bull," she called sharply. But Bull had his nose pointed straight out across the valley, and now he was galloping. "Bull!" He was already across the val ley and halfway up the other side. "Bull!" He didn't so much as turn ms head. "Bull, Bull, Bull." Her voice was a loud, plaintive wail, and as she called Bull was disappearing over the hill. ; "Let's spread out," said Bart. "Maybe he'll swing around one side or the other. Joel, you go over to that nill and move along that way, and I'll go over this way. You keep right along here in the middle, DeDby." Joel had gone only about 50 yards when he stopped and called. "There's a dog," he said, pointing, "but it isn't Bull." Debby couldn't see, and she ran over beside him. As she got there, he pointed again, and she looked and saw the dog. And right away she knew the dog, a small black and white setter, and she was so scared she wras almost sick to her stomach. "That's John Qualey's dog," she said. She wiped her hand across her forehead and stared at Joel. "We got to find Bull quick. Get ahold of that rope and hold on to it."

Corrio Pe Q Movies to Study Latest Fashions HOLLYWOOD, (U.R) A few hundred of the millions who see movies in the United States ev ery week don't go for the plot, I the romance or to see their favor ' ite stars. They go to study up the latest in movie fashions. Designer Travis Banton found that out when it was announced that he was creating 13 gowns for Lucille Ball, described in the script of Universalis ''Lessons in Love" as "the best-dressed girl in America.' "The minute the story hit print I was snowed under with letters, telegrams and long-distance calls from designcis and gown manu facturers all over the country," Banton reported. Ccirto to See Fashion They wanted to find out when the picture would be released and it was pretty apparent to Banton that they weren't half as interest ed in what Miss Ball was going to do as in what she was going to wear. ''They'll be sitting there in the i i i i i . - aarK tneater, sketcn books on ; ineir laps, pencils poi?ea tor a quick outline of the gowns," he phophesied. "They don t care whether Brent or the 'other man' gets the girl cr which girl. They come to see what is being done in Hollywood in the way of new fash ions.' The attitude of the women's wear industry, Banton learned, is no different from that of furr.i- nessmen.
