Dude Ranchers Migrate

Cody, Wyo. —(UP) — The latest wrinkle in the dude ran- h ibuaineae in making it a migratory proposition. I. H. Larom, president of the dude ranchers association and his dude guests have moved to his Sahuaro Lake ranch at Mesa, Ariz.. ! -where they will live u-ntil the first of April. The dude ranch season in ! Wyoming, more through cuetom than necessity, is short. Larom belivets that dude ranchers soon will make it a general practice to operate in Wyoming and Montana in the summer and migrate south in the winter.

SYNOPSIS In search of adventure, Mark Talbot sails from San Francisco aboard the S.S. “Orient" bound for Honolulu. He meets Vanya Pro- ! kovna, beautiful dancer, who is being deported. She ignores him. Mark follow* Vanya to Tongatabu in the South Seas trying to convince himself that seeing her in her dance hall environment will cure hia infatuation. Percy Loring, a beachcomber, informs Mark that Vanya dances at Pearly Shene’s Diver’a Helmet when the ships are in but, at the present time, she is inland with the natives. Talbot takes Mark to a native festival, j They hide in the bushes and watch the ceremonies. Mark utters an ex- : clamation upon seeing Vanya, revealing his and Loring’s presence to the natives. They are captured but Vanya intercedes for them and ; accompanies the pair back through | the woods still retaining her frigid attitude. Mark is angry with himself for his interest in her and for the embarrassment of accepting her aid in his trouble. A cobra in their path causes Vanya to go close to Mark for protection. He overcomes the desire to take her in his arms. Next day, Vanya will not accept Mark’s thanks; she suggests that he leave her and join Loring. His anger aroused, Mark retorts; "The company of Loring is a distinct improvement over that of a dancer in Pearly Shene’s dive.” The remark hurts Vanya. Mark tells Loring he will go to see Vanya dance that night just for the joy of seeing her trying to please people. Despite himself, Mark is filled with a strange emotion when Vanya sings and dances. He tells Loring that the pearlers can’t appreciate her but that she is a great dancer nevertheless. CHAPTER XVII “She’s not a great dancer. A great dancer dances with her mind; her body is her medium and sjie uses it to carefully calculated effect Vanya dances with her heart; she loves it, and therefore can never be anything but rather good." “Have it your way,” said Mark. He turned to Loring. “I want to do something. I’ve acted like a cad to the girL I want to make up to her somehow. Will you do me a favor?” “You’re buying the drinks.” “Ask her if she’ll come to our table.” “I’d do it gladly, but she won’t come. She likes me less than you.” “You’re right I’ll send a note by Hong.” “No,” declared Loring. “Hong would be even worse. Write the note and I’ll take it.” Mark tore the back from an envelope and scribbled his message. “I’m sorry,” he wrote. “I want to explain, and ask you only to grant me the opportunity. Will you come to my table?” He signed it. “Mark Talbot.” I Airing departed. Mark fidgeted impatiently for several minutes. Finally his companion emerged from the door behind the piano. “Well?” queried Mark eagerly. “Is she coming?” Loring smiled, and said nothing. A buzz of comment from the gathering caught Mark's ear; he turned. Still garbed in her enveloping flowered robe, looking neither to right nor left, Vanya was approaching the table. Mark rose as Vanya approached, and Loring followed his example, elaborately placing a chair for her. She gathered the flowered robe about her carefully as she seated herself; half the eyes in the room were on her. Mark resumed his seat, but Loring remained standing. "If you don’t mind,” he said, addressing Vanya, “I’ll continue my indulgences at the bar. I have a desire to uncramp my legs.” He looked at Mark, who gave him a glance of appreciation. “Carta blanche?” the beachcomber asked. “I ov.-e you a quart,” responded Mark, “but I’d rather you let payment rest I don’t want too much disturbance this evening." “Reasonable enough! A pint, I assure you, will cause you no trouble." Loring departed toward the bar, and Mark turned to Vanya, who simply regarded him questioningly. Once again he experienced that unaccustomed diffidence in her presence; his eyes persisted in centering themselves on her face, and his mind insisted on repeating to itself, “Beautiful! She t« beautiful!” Vanya twisted nervously under his frankly admiring gaze. "Well?” she said finally,./ Mark started from his reverie. “I’m sorry! Will you have something to drink?” She shook her head silently. “Oh, come! Just as a symbol 1 of burying the hatchet.” i “Burying the hatchet?” she echoed with her same serious, questioning expression.

“An American expression," Mark explained smilingly. "It refers to an Indian custom, I think. It means simply—well, ceasing to quarrel.” Vanva nodded her understanding. “A glass of port, then,” she said. Mark ordered; he noticed that both Hong and Shene had their eyes on the table, though Loring’s back was turned. “I thought your dancing was—more than excellent,” he remarked as the girl sipped her wine. “Thank you/’ “It deserves a better audience than this." “The audience is none of my choosing!“ “I can well believe that,” conceded Mark. “What puzzles me is why you don’t leave all this.” “Do you think I haven’t tried?”

i/U )VU Vi i 111 n » * vti v «» -v- . — — “What do you think brought me to Shene’s Cove?” asked Mark.

“1 know you’ve tried. I don't see why you failed.” “There were reasons enough.* “Implying that the reasons are none of my business,” said Mark. “And of course you're quite right. But would you consider it impertinent if I asked you the reasons?” "I don’t see why I should tell you.” “Again you’re right. My actions haven’t been calculated to win your confidence. I’ll admit. I was hoping my apology would help.” “You started another apology this morning, and it ended by hurting me—as deeply as one stranger could hurt another.” “You hurt me, too,” replied Mark, “and with more than a stranger’s power. You see, you haven’t been exactly a stranger to me since the first time I saw you—and I wonder if you know when that was.” Vanya nodded, her serious eyes still fixed on Mark. “It wasn’t on the Orient ," he warned. “I know," Vanya admitted, with one of her rare, grave smiles. “It was on the dock at San Francisco. I passed you; you were arguing or quarreling with a tall man. I've wondered since if you quarrel with everyone you meet.” “That was my brother: you do remember!” cried Mark. “I don’t know why,” continued Vanya. “I was utterly, hopelessiy unhappy. But your face stood out for an instant; it was—the last glimpse I had of America.” “Then why were you so particularly cold to my friendly advances on the boat?” “I was unhappy,” she explained. “Both unhappy and seasick." “The seasickness is sufficient excuse by itself,” said Mark. “But you weren’t seasick on the point this morning.” “I was still unhappy.” “Why?” "That’s a question not proper in the South Seas. People here are sensitive about personal questions.” “I’ve noticed that,” agreed Mark dryly. “No one has asked me my business since I've been in the islands." “And no one will. Therefore, why should i tell mine?” , “I should answer, I suppose, because I might be able to help.” “And I’m sure you can’tl So we reach a deadlock.”

: “Listen to me," urged Mark. I m i not asking out of curiosity—that i is, not from any ill-intentioned curiosity. I’m interested, and 1 d really . try to help you.” “1 know you couldn't" “If it’s a question of money—“lt isn’t 1 And I wouldn’t accept charity if it were.” “All right,” said Mark. "Forget the offer of help. Is there any special reason why you shouldii t tell me your particular troubles? “None whatever." “Well, then, why not?” Vanya laughed. It was the first time Mark had heard her do so; like her voice, the laugh was low in pitch, throaty. He was pleased to realize that the feeling of strain between them was vanishing; she

had adopted an easier, bantering attitude. “Good heavens!” she exclaimed. “Your persistence does you credit. You’re either inhumanly stubborn or you’ve an interest I don’t as yet understand.” “I’m stubborn, all right,” allowed Mark. “It’s a family trait. But a.s to the interest, what do you think brought me to Shene’s Cove?” “I never stopped to wonder. People—men—circulate all through the islands.” “Taulanga — yes,” said Mark. "Or even Nukualofa, But why Shene’s Cove?” “Do you mean— me? How could you possibly have known?” “A dock-hand in Honolulu recognized the Porpoise," Mark replied. “Not much of a clue, but it served.” Vanya looked at her American admirer with a half-quizzical, halfdoubtful expression in her black eyes. She leaned back in her chair, fingering her scarcely-touched glass of port “Do you know, I’m almost convinced—” she said, turning toward him. With the movement her enveloping gown parted. “But I still don’t see why,” she continued. Mark deliberately turned his gaz* to the long, slim, silk-clad figure exposed by her movement. She flushed a trifle, and rearranged her robe. “That’s why!” he said tersely. “Oh, that’s ridiculous!” “I don’t moan your—er, look*. Even I would hardly chase a goodlooker over the entire Coral Sea. I mean your—" He paused. Vanya was again staring at him with that intent, serious expression so characteristic of her. “I thought your appearance attractive on the San Francisco dock,” he continued. “I still think so. I think even more than tha.'; now.” “And you say you came here for such a reason?” “And am satisfied with the result, what’s more!” Vanya continued her serious appraisal. “I almost feel that I owe you the story,” she said. “Your compliments, though not -exactly subtle, have considerable finesse for these parts of the world, at least.” (To Be Continued) CopTtUbt, 1914.
