PAGE. FOUR BY MARIS DE NERVAUD SYNOPSIS: When Kay Cran- don’s Lazy Nine ranch house and barn burn, Josh Hastings, owner of the Flying Six, tries to buy her rauch and talks of mar= riage. But Kay hates him and is determined to keep her ranch and rebuild. It's a jolt that the in- surance money has to go to the mortgage. Ted Gaynor, a puncher Kay hired impulsively, stirs the Outfit to cut its own timber and rebuild without pay. Riding to buy the only available timber land, Kay is lassoed by Scrap Johnson, a Flying Six puncher. Ted gets the option for Kay and rescues her from Serap’s un- wanted, brutal attentions. Chapter 16 An Unexpected Visitor K** let out a long quivering breath, as Ted stood panting fora moment. Then he walked over to her and took back the gun from her trembling hand. “It'll be some time before he comes to.” In spite of his effort to steady it, his voice showed the ef- fect of the emotional and physical ordeal he had just been through. “The sooner we get off, the better. Unless I miss my guess, he'll va- moose from this range without too Much boasting about this after- noon’s doings.” He slipped the gun in his holster, and stepped over to Scrap John- son’s hove. that had deen patient- pat waiting at some distance from e fray, his reins over his neck. Picking up the reins, Ted hung them over the pommel of the sad- Then he gave'the horse a sha: fe the flank, sending him o! across the mesa. “That bird can walk. It will do of holding Kay in his arms as they rode back to the ranch. Mounting, he reached down his hand and she sprang lightly up be- fore him, her own heightened color attesting to the fact that his emo- tion had communicated itself to her, For a long time they rode in si- lence across the mesa that was be- ginning to take on the intenser colors and lengthened shadows of | tightened around her. Somehow there seemed to be no need for words, and sweet as the gay com- ee of the morning’s ride ad been, this silent communion meant infinitely more, The sunset colors were flooding | the sky as they neared the ranch | house gate. Abruptly Ted reined in. “I'd like | to say goodby to you here. I must be on my way.” He hardly recognized his low husky voice. A wild longing to kiss Kay before he released her swept over him, but even as he struggled with it, Kay slipped from his arm, and sprang lightly to the ground. “When will you be back?” Kay’s voice was as low and vibrant with suppressed feeling as his. “Three days at the most,” he an- swered. For a long moment he gazed: at her..He started to say something, then changed his mind and picked up the reins. “Goodby.” He wheeled abruptly, and Kay watched him ride into the sunset. A stran; =e premonition sud- denly tightened her tl:roat. Would he really be back in three days? Already, their whole tense and dramatic encounter seemed like a dream. Turning swiftly, she walked past the charred ruins of the ranch house and down to her cabin, skirt- late afternoon. | Kay leaned confidingly against | Ted, and his arm involuntarily | iter, oaecccccveccccosococscse | PERSONAL MENTION jee eveccscsooce | i Miss Elo!
