Chapter Four Fire At The Lazy Nine ? Ses picture of the two men who had flashed so strangely into her life that afternoon rose before her, and Kay tried to reason out her reactions to them. 4 Superficially, the natural, thing would have seemed to be for her to be attracted to Tom Runyon and not to Ted Gaynor. And yet, just the opposite had happened. Yom Runyon was much better | looking and more outwardly pre- possessing in every way. Yet she found herself passing him by with hardly a thought, whise her mind concentrated on Ted Gaynor and the brief outline of his history that he had given her. | uSNot the-ranch house,’,Flicks!

Disjointed thoughts flashed through her mind in the mad race against time. Thank Heaven, Aunt ite and Babs were away! Were Seth and the boys back from the range? Was anyone there to fight the fire?

Another 10 min- utes, and she could feel the heat from the glowing conflagration ahead. Ducking her head, she forged her way on, and the next thing she knew, she was pounding through the gate. Pulling Flicker back on his -haunches, as Seth rushed toward her. Kay half fell out of the sad- dle into his arms. Bracing herself against him, she fazed the blazing ruin of her home.

Ted Gaynor convinces her he is no firebug and that this is his first attempt—an aim to get a fire fighting job and buy food for his mother and sister, Kay offers him a place in her outfit. Tom Runyon, the fire patrol, rides up, and Kay has to use her wits to shield Ted from Runyon’s suspicion. Riding home alone, Kay sees smoke, and races on to discover her ranch house and barn hopelessly lost to the flames. Seth Jordan, her faithful fore- man, has saved the desk with the insurance papers, Chapter Five Come To The Flying Six How. Kay lived through the next few hours she never quite knew. After the arrival of the truck, everything seemed to happen all at once. Babs came home, accompanied by Josh Has- tings, owner of the Flying Six, and his daughter Ruth, Babs’ chum and inseparable companion, As she’was soothing Babs, whose 10-year-old courage was temporarily eclipsed by the enor- mity of this disaster, Kay sudden- ly looked up to find Josh Hastings’ eyes fixed on her-with a peculiar, enigmatic stare. He quickly avert- ed his gaze. When Babs was finally calmed down, and had gone off with Ruth to inspect ti ins from| at an ae (ook | “JT OOKS like Jennings’ livery asafe distance, Josh Hastings took Kay’s hand in his possessively. “It's a burning shame for you to have this happen, Kay.” In spite of the emotional strain she was under, Kay was quick to) detect the note of hypocrisy in his tone.

Ruth’s voice joined in the plead- ing, and Kay looked doubtfully from one eager face to the other, as she tried to decide. “Please, Sis!” Babs repea’ pushing back her blonde curls an: winking at Ruth to egg her on to join in the coaxing. “Where could we stay, anyway?” “Tm going to stay in one of the cabins,” Kay answered, with sud- den decision. “But if Mr, Hastings and Ruth would really like to have you, you can go back with them for a little visit.” » “Whoopee!” Babs and Ruth both broke into a triumphant shout, then Babs’ eyes suddenly clouded. “But Sis, wouldn’t you rather have me with you? I wish you'd come, too!” “Perhaps she will, yet.” Josh Hastings’ tone seemed to, imply something. “I'm afraid I'll be too busy," Kay.» answereds “I’m going.to, start ire- building at once.” 2o ‘the smug skeptical smile Kay. had noticed before passed. over Josh Hastings” mouth. $ r “Til be going in to Red River: tomorrow}'to see about the insur= ance,” Kay went on, bravely ig- noring his implied doubt of her program, *“and—” she broke off short, and’ pointed down the road. “What's that coming?” The others followed her gaze.
