ILLUSTRATIONS

Before either Tess or Dot thought to cry out for help,
they were out of sight of the camp
A kicking figure was sprawled on the roof, clinging
with both hands to the ridge of it
Ruth actually went back, groping through the
gathering smoke, for the doll. With it she scrambled
out upon the shingles

he started back for the girls. He whined and he
barked
