A masterplece of riding on the part of ©one of the cowboys saves her life. CHAPTER 1.—Clay Lindsay, range-rider on ah Arizona ranch, announ tion to visit the “big town,” New York. CHAPTER IL—On the train Lindsay becomes interested in & young woan, Kitty Mason, on her way to New York 0 become a motion-picture actress. Sho 18 marked as fair prey by a fellow trav- oler, Jerry Durand, gang politiclan and ex-prize fighter. Percelving his intention, Lindsay provokes a quarrel and throws Duraud from the train. CHAPTER 1I1.—On his fivet day in New York Lindsay is splashed with water by & janitor. That individual the range- rider punishes summarily and leaves tied to a fire hydrant. A young woman who sees the occurrence invites Clay into her house and hides him fyom the police. May Tecognized him 1 sately. He had shaken hands once before with this well-satisfied young man, and on that occasion a fifty-dollar bill had passed from one to the other. The New Yorker evidently did not know him, It became apparent at once that Bromtield had called to go riding in the park with siss Whitford. That young woman came up to suy good-by to her new acquaintance. “\Will you be here when I get back?" “Not if our friends outside give me R chance for a getaway,” he told her. Her bright, unflinching eyes looked ] nto his. “Youwll come agaln and let us know how you escaped,” she In- vited. “I'll ce'talnly do that, Miss Whit- “Tken we'll look for you Thursday afternoon, say.” “I'l 'be here” “If .the police don't get you.” “They won't,” he promised serenely. “When you're rendy, Bee,” suggested Bromtield In a bored volce. Shie nodded casually and walked out of the room llke n young Diann, straight as a-dart in her trim slender- ness. ‘Clay slipped out of the house by the back way. . a e e PR . Frem the top of n bus Clay Lindsay looked down a canyon which ungled across the great city llke a river of | Ught. He had come from one land of gorges to another. In the walls of this one, thousands and tens of thousands of cliff-dwellers hid themselves during the day like animals of some queer breed and poured out into the canyon at sunset, Now the river In its bed was alive with a throbbing tide. Cross-currents of humanity flowed into it Mo side streets and ebbed out of it Into others. Streams of people were swept down, caught here and there in swirling ed- dies. Taxis, private motors, and trol- ley cars struggled In the raceway. All this Clay saw In a flash while his bus crossed Broadway on its way to the Avenue. His eyes had become accustomed to this brilliance in the weeks that had passed since his descent upon New Yotk, but familiar- ity had not yet dulled the wonder of 1it. He had become a fast frlend of Miss ‘Whitford. Together they had tramped through Central park and motored up the Hudson in one of her father’s cars. They had explored each other’s minds along with the country and each had known the surprise and delight of dis- coveries, of finding' In the other a quality of freshness and cancor. ' The bus jerked down Fifth avenue like a boat in heavy seas, pausing here and therg at the curb to take on a passenger. While It was getting under way after one such stop, another downtown bus rolled past. Clay came to a sudden alert atten- tion. His eyes focused on a girl sit- ting on a back seat. In the pretty childish face he read a wistful help- lessness, a pathetic hint of misery that called for sympathy. Arizona tukes short cuts to its ends. Clay rose Instantly, put his foot on the railing, and leaped across to the top of the bus rolling parallel with the one he was on. In another second he had dropped Into the seat beside the girl. “Glad to meet you agaln, Miss Kitty,” he sald cheerfully. “How the: big town been using you?" The girl looked at him with a little’ gasp of surprise. “Mr. Lindsay!” Sud- den tears filmed her eyes. She forgot that she had left him with the promise never again to speak to him. She was in a far country, and he was a friend from home. The conductor bustled alsle. “Say, where do you get this movle-stuff? You can’t jump from the top of one bus to another. That ain’t the system of transfers we use in this town. You might 'a’ got killed.” “Qh, well, let's not worry about that now.” ‘1 down the | run. Wages good?” “Don’t get gay, young fellow. I can tell you one thing. You've got to pay The girl leaves | another fare.” Clay pald it. The conductor retired to his post. “What about that movie job? Is it- s his Inten- | pannin’® out pay gold?” Lindsay asked Kitty. Bit by bit her story came out. It was a common enough one. She had been flim-flammed out of her money by the alleged school of moving-picture actors, and the sharpers had decamped with it. As she Jooked at her recovered friend, Kitty gradually realized an out- ward transformation in his appear- ance. He was dressed quietly in clothes of perfect fit made for him by Colin Whitford’s tatlor. From shoes to hat he was a New Yorker got up regardless of expense. But the warm smile, the strong, tanned face, the grip of the big brown hand that buried her small one—all these were from her own West, So too had been the non- chalance with which he had stepped from the rail of oze moving bus to that of the other, just as though this were his usual method of trans- fe “I've got a job at last,” she explained to him. “I'm working downtown in Greenwich Village, selling cigarettes. I'm Syivia the Cigarette Girl. At least that's what they calt me. I carry a tray of them evenings into the cafe.” “Greenwich Village?" asked Cl Kitty was not able to explain that the Village is a state of mind which Is the habitat of long-haired men and “Say, Where Do You Get ‘This Movie Stunt Stuff?” short-haired women, the brains of whom functioned in a way totally allen to all her methods of thought. “Can't you come down tonight t6 The Purple Pup or The Sea Siren and see for yourself?” she proposed, and gave him directions for finding the classic re- sorts, “I'm dressed silly—in bare feet and sandals and what they call a smock, You won't mind that, will you?” “You'll look good to' me, no matter what you wear, little Miss Colorado,” he told her with his warm, big broth- er's smile, You're good,” the girl said simply. “I knew that on the traln even when I—when I was mean to you." There came into her volce a small tremor of apprehension. “I'm afrald of this town. It's so—so kinda:cruel. I've got no friends here.” IHe offered instant reassurance with a strong grip of his brown hand. “You've got one, little pardner. Tl promise that one.blg husky will be on the job when you need him. Don’t you worry."” She gave him, ler shy eyes grate- fully. There .was a®mistiof teats in them. “You're good,” she . sald again naively, hia & (Continued in Next, Isge) BEMIDJI FLORAL € CHOICE § CUT FLOWERS AND 4 PLANTS — 0. , Artistie Designe PROMPT ATTENTION GIVEN TO MAIL “rd ought to have you pulled.
