It was not hard for the Dummy to guess what she might be sayingâ€"the scowl, the frown, were eloquent. Marâ€" cu, Anica her mother, or the campâ€" those were the three things the girl huted. There were comforting words in his heart but dead lips could not speak those words. The Dummy, they called him that, his real name forgotten. Long ago he had learned not to care. What gid it matter anyway? He could weave basâ€" kets batter than any of them and paint them with pictures that charmed the The girl laughed, but there was hatâ€" red in the sound. "Come on, Dummy, we go back. There isn‘t any privacy here now." As she started toward the trail the youth folâ€" lowed her, his face expressionless. "Good thing it is you can‘t hear some of the things they say about you, my dumb one. QOught to turn their faces more often so you can‘t reag their lips, Do they think you are without feelings? Pigs! Dogs! Some day I shall hit her with my fists if she doesn‘t leave me alone. And Marcu, too! God, how I hate him!" "Consuelo, my little one, my little good one, youâ€"you mustn‘t forget I‘m your mother," "I did answer, Can‘t you leave me alone for a minute?" "A minute?" mocked the â€" woman. "Down here with that Pummy for an hour anq a half and call it a minute? I‘d like to know what you two were doing. Making love, I suppese, where you can‘t be watched." Consuelo stepped closer to her. "Now you had better be careful what you say about me making love or I will tell some things I know!" PAGE TWO "Why don‘t you answ2ar me without my having to run all over the country for you, bad one?" she demanded. "What a fool I am!" She went to the brook and washed her face in the cold water. "Consuelo!": a voice called. ‘The girl rubbed her hands dry on the full stripeq skirt before answering. "Where are you? Who are you with?" The voice was closer. "Snooper!" the girl muttered. "Come and find out," she shouted. A woman appeared out of the shadâ€" The boy put his hang on her shoulâ€" der, caressing, but did not speak. She sat up then and wiped the perspiration from her forehead with the back of her hand. CHAPTER 1 THE GIRL half closeq her eyes and gazed at the willows above her, the slim reeds arabesquing. As she watched they became gay dancers with silvery skirts fluttering to the rustle of the gslight breege. She forgot the summer heat. The magic of the twilight crept into her blood and she felt the music that the wilderness imparts for those who listen. SBhe rose to her feet, body swaying, temples thrgbbing,. Again the dream! Bhe was in a marble palace on the top of the. highest hill in the world and @ll the people of all the lands were at her feet and she was dancing to them. What could it matter that in reality her feet were dancing on the moss at the side of a crsek, her audience of thousands a lone youth? The youth watched each movement of supple body, but well he knew that she was not dancing for him. She had never danced for him. She had never danced for anyone, merely the dream. The girl sank to the moss. "I can dance, I can daance better than anyone who ever lived on this great round earth and yet what do they make me do? Dance at carnivals before poor gorgios who toss dimes instead of dolâ€" lars!" She flung her face to the moss and her fists beat against the smooth carpet. "I‘ll go awayâ€"" the words were muffled and hot tears forced their way from her eyes.

Voda brought up keg of beer that had been cooling in the creek and set it down on a wooden bench. Mugs were held under the foamâ€" ing stream. Grapes were passed and red juicy apples. Someone was singing between mouthfuls of food, the words blending one into another. The clinkle of bracelets, of beads. The movement of bodies in the dark. The lighting of another fire and dirty cards spread on the groungd before it. Twinkle of cigarettes like fireflies in the darkness. Aroma of tobacco smoke mingling with the fragrance of the fire. The rumble of vaoices, some in English, most in Romany; throaty laughter; shrill cries of children. Two of the men wrestling in friendly contest and the shouts of the watchers, Strumming of a guitar, a woman‘s clear soprano. And through it all the overtone of laughter with here and there a sudden loud angry word. Buch was the gypsy camp at night. "Jealousy? Jealousy! Jealous of A little devil like you? Jealous of such a thin, ugly one? Get out of my sight! Go! Eat your dinner and make yourâ€" self fat so that some man will have you for a wife! Go! Quick!" "Anica! Come! Come!" A voice bocmed out of the darkness. ‘"Yes, Girtza, yes, yes, I ame here," the mother answered. Quickly she stepped from the brush into the clearing and crossed to the group about the campfire. She picked up the ladle that rested on the rocks and ‘dished into the great steaming kettle that hung over the fire. Brown, ringed hands held out tin plates. There was noise, confusion, and laughter. Bread was broken in pieces "Tell papa and he will do nothing He has sense. He is a big, good, fine man, my papa. He can see through your jealousy." "Ah, you devil, to talk to your mothâ€" er that way. If I was a man I would jeat your body until your tongue fell out of your mouth if you dared to say such words. I have had enough of this. I tell Girtza." The mother ders. The woman came up with them as they approached the clump of stunted oaks that hid the wagons and tents from the trail. She caught the girl‘s arm and the Dummy, unnoticing, walked on. "You‘re old enough to be married," she said. She put her arm about her daughter. "Is there not some young chay in the camp that you care for, my little one?" Her voice was oilly sweet. Consuelo drew back from her,. "Now whatever good would it you? Marcu will love me to the : of the earth. He has no eyes for my mother." then ? foy So she talked to the dummy and did not care whether he saw her lips or not. "What‘s the matter? Don‘t let her worry you." Her lips framed the words for him to read. "I think she‘d like to make me marry you." She was not lookâ€" ing at him now, "She‘d think it was a good trick. Then she wouldn‘t have to be jealous of me any longer. It might not be so badâ€"*" Her words turned into thoughts. You‘ve never even kissed me, my big dumb one. But how can you know that I‘d like your lips against mine? You are a fool not to take me in your arms. Do you think then that it would matter that you are deaf and dumb?" They walked on. "Other men want to kiss me. The white dog of a sheriff has evil eyes when he looks at me and I do not have to read his palm to know what he is thinking. He called us a band of thievâ€" ing gypsies and told us to get out and even papa who scares most white ‘men couldn‘t argue him into letting us stay. But I, the Gypsy Consuelo, did! I made him promise that we could go to the fair toâ€"morrow and then move on!" up Consuelo stocd by the fire, her skir PThe girl walking YÂ¥ou should have your mouth slapped such loose words!"
