BY MAREB D! SYNOPSIS: When Kay Cran- ‘on’s Lazy Nine rcnch house and mm burn, Josh Hastings—who nts to buy the ranch and marry iy — invites her to the Flying 'Six. She refuses, distrusting him, ‘Dut young sister Babs and Aunt ‘Kate go. Kay plans to rebuild, but fthe insurance money goes to the (eerepage. Ted Gaynor, a puncher ‘ay hited impulsively, stirs the outfit to cut its own lumber and rebuild without pay. She is on her way to but the only available timber land when a Hastings puncher lassoes her, leaves her ropedon ‘the mesa, Meanwhile Ted decides to get an option on the timber for Kay. Chapter 14 ‘At Old Man Warren’s IDING jin to Red River over the same route that Kay and he had taken that morning, Ted’s Soughts of Kay were so absorb- ing that the time passed almost as quiekly as it had in her actual company. It seemed impossible that he had known Kay only about 24 hours! Because of that meeting, which might have had such a dif- oy ending if anyone but Kay found him at that act of des- 5, ewig his whole outlook on fe was changed. Just the relief of knowing that mother and sister had a home tp come to was enough to make pi! man of him. But added to it the thought that he was to near Kay, helping her and ’ ing for her, opened up un- ‘id vistas of magic hopes. Easily finding Old Man Warren’s shack, Ted knocked on the door. After a moment it was pulled og and he-found himself facing grizzled old prospector, who eyed him with suspicious surprise. “What do you want?” he de- manded. “I wanted to see you about buy- ing some of that timber land you on the south ridge of the Bit- ter Root,” Ted answered. It was all he could do to keep from laughing aloud at the comical change that altered Old Man War- Ten’s fierce expression. “What's that?” he asked, his face screwed up and his eyes #quinted as though he doubted the evidence of his senses, “What'd you say?” Ted repeated his words. “Gosh Halifax Almighty!” The prospector opened the door wide, and pulled Ted in, hastily closing it behind him. “I ‘sure «never thought I’d live to hear that! Yuh any real money?” He blinked ously. 've $25 to say I'm in earnest,” answered. “I’m offering you $100 for 10 acres and an option on another 10 at the same price.

Ted turned carelessly toward the door. “No point telling her. that,” he observed. “There's plenty of timberland to be bought at $10 an acre and even less.

An Optical Minsion? “HERE you are.” Ted handed him the money and out the precious memorandum in his pocket, smiling as he watched the old prospector count it over with loving care. “You're wel) rid of it,""he observed as he turned to pemfcmer n g “Buyers aren't any teo plent these days.” Old Man Warren nodded im. > patiently, but made no response | as he started to count his unex- pected wealth again.

With a fearful certainty that something had happe..ed to Kay, Ted leaped down the bunk house steps and threw himself into the saddle of his waiting mount, everything forgotten but Kay’s mes A flash of memory recalled that impression he had had of eesing some one’on foot far to the no! of him as he rode out from Red River. Was it possible that Kay had had the same hunch he had had about ‘getting the epee. at once, and that she had ridden in to Red River? And that some accident had happened on the way? 5 Ted cursed himself for not,hav- ing investigated then and there, and headed off at a hard gallop in the general direction of the place where he had thought he had glimpsed that figure. Galvanized To Action Daal to herself, Kay sank back and gave way for a moment to the weak, dizzy feeling that closed over her. In_her half-conscious state she could hear the retreating hoofbeats of p Johnson’s horse grow dimmer and dimmer. Finally they died away. The unbroken stillness of the mesa deepened around her and seemed to drag her into its own oblivion. Fighting down the bry fag to let go and drift into it, Kay strug- gied into a sitting position. Her’ jaws ached cruelly under the tightly-tied bandanna, and her legs and arms were unbearably cramped from their forced confine- ment. But, bad as the physical ain and discomfort was, it was far less ‘than-her mental an; She hadn’t a doubt but that all more. already |{°) ;Saw through her bonds, She her plans for rebuilding had come to nothing.

He had all the instincts of a bully, and he had shown himself capable of sickening revenge for the wounds she had inflicted to his vanity. Her = burned at the memory of his kiss, and panic seized her as she realized how powerless she was in his hands. Even if he didn’t do her any actual harm, she would never get over the sense of degra- "ia that he could drag her down 10. Galvanized to action by this des- perate thought, Kay forgot the ranch and ‘everything else in the surge of self preservation that swept over her. She rolled over and struggled up to her knees. ‘The incline of the cpulee behind her shut her. off frorh a view of the range, and ruined any chance of her discovery by any passer-by, Not that there was likely to be any one, but it was a hundred to one chance. Some. way or other, she must get up there. Her courage revived with the prospect of an immediate objective to be obtained. Kay gazed piercingly about for some sharp stone on which she might see nothing but small stones pebbles scattered through the cach grass of the mesa. Her heart sank.
