And Mouse ‘HE. man’s gaze rested on Kay’s | bound ankles. Stooping sud- | denly, he tested the knots. He gripped her ankles with a firm | hold for a moment, then laughed | as he released them and rose. “Cut out that ‘how-dare-you’ stuff, Cutie,” he warned. “It’s my tuen’ to set the tone of this meet- | ing. You've high-hatted me just | once too often.” His mouth twist- ed, end he laughed again. “Don’t you worry! I ain’t going to*hurt you—just give you a little in Despite her struggles, he earried Kay to a coulee.

Sounds crazy, but orders is orders.” Kay felt her heart turn sick, For the moment she forgot her own predicament in the fear that all her doomed. And through her own } stupidity! She must do something before it was too late! She saw in a flash that her only | hope lay in using this man as @ tool, and keeping him from carry- | ing out Hastings’ orders. Under all her rage and disgust at the indignity that had been put upon her, Kay was firmly con- vinced Scrap Johnson wouldn’t | dare do her any actual harm. He knew that -his life wouldn’t be worth a nickel if he did. te was taking cruel enjoyment in playing with her as a cat plays with a mouse. And he was prob- ably banking on her pride to keep: | her from telling. Instead of flout- ing him as she had, she must be | more clever! Kay Attempts Wile | “TT’S not very complimentary to have you leave me: for an ‘option,’ whatever that is.” Kay forced herself to a half smile, as she gazed up at him with inno- cently round eyes. A flush spread over Serap John- son’s sallow face and his jaw dropped as though he couldn’t be- lieve his eyes or his ears. He looked | comically uncertain, “What's the idea of stringing me?” “['m not stringing you.” She glanced significantly at her ankles and wrists. “You're the one who's stringing me! Doesn't it strike you, that you might get.on better with-’ out these eaveman methods?” “That so? Well, we'll put it to a test. Suppose you give me a kiss?” Noeffort of will could keep Kay from recoiling with an involun- tary shudder of disgust, as he leaned over her. “Hat Trying the Delilah stuff, eh?” He Semighinried up with a sneering laugh, “Well, we'll talk that over later!” He looked about, “Kind of bad place to leave you.” Stooping, he picked Kay up bodily and, in spite of her strug- gles, carried her about 50 yards to the lea of a coulee that dipped down’ in the mesa. Without a word, he dumped her there and started back for his horse. Then, as an-after-thought, he came back, pulled eye ees from her id: it tightly about ore mouth, “Don’t be lonesome, Cutie, Pll be back before long,” he called mockingly over his. shoulder as he mounted and rode off.

As Taken From. | The Files of The Citizen i i | Unanimous endorsement to ex- ;tend the boulevard from the end ‘of the paved way to White street ‘was given during the past 24 hours by a number ef business men, of Key West and also professional men. It is beyond my comprehen-, ;sion, said Senator Win. H. Ma- lone, that we should have a $750,- 000 boulevard which leads to no-' iwhere, at least apparently there. |The city and county are not to | blame but they will be unless some steps are taken to have this mag- nificent drive carried to its end.' It will cost about $50,000 but I | believe that this extension will’ double its value. Others who voice the same idea are: Bascom L. Grooms, Wm. R, Porter, L. T." |Bragassa, J. Roland Adams and others. { | Word has been received in Key West of the extension from this city of the Pan American Airways to Havana to be started within the next few weeks, Extensions of the Florida-Cuba service will in- clude Jamaica, Yucatan, Central | | America, Panama, ” Puerto Rico. and other countries ‘in that 'sec-} tion of the world: | The’ planés £0) be used in this service will carry 1000 pounds of mail and ten pas-; sengers.
