THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1987. BY MARIE DE NERVAUD SYNOPSIS: When Kay Cran- don's Lazy Nine ranch house and barn burn, Josh Hastings, owner of the Flying Siz, tries to buy her ranch and court Kay. But she hates him and is determined to, keep her ranch and rebuild. Ted Gaynor, a puncher she impulsive-| ly hired, stirs the outfit to cut its| own timber and rebuild without pay, Hastings sends his cowhand Scrap Johnson to tie up the only available timber land. But Ted wins the option race, then whips Scrap for molesting Kay. Has- tings finds Scrap on the mesa and berates him, but Scrap turns the tables by deftly snatching his boss’s gun. He“takes his horse, sending him home afoot. Chapter 20 Chance For Revenge LTERNATING between thoughts of Ted Gaynor as a rival, and his fury at Scrap John- son, Josh Hastings found himself cherishing two distinct plans of re- venge. First of all, he meant to make his former puncher pay through the nose for his insolence, and his plan here was definite and drastic, al- though it had to be handled with care. He had no idea of telling the whole story of his plight, and be- }p: ing the laughing stock of. ange. So this prevented him from calling et gent to his aid, and fetfowin; on, the trail of Scrap Johnson wit @ Posse, #“°He had a hunch that Scrap was © “Weaded for the Idaho state line, and y) that he planned to make his get- away through the one pass that led over the Bitter Root from this re- gion. If he followedtright after him, there was a good chance of over- taking him. Scrap Johnson would be pretty sure to figure that his one-time boss would rather lose his mount and call quits on the situation than let the story leak out of the fix his cowhand had landed him in. Therefore, he wouldn't feel pressed for time, and it would be a fairly easy matter to eatch up with him. “And there won't be any doubt about who'll have the drop this time!” Josh Hastings’ thought voiced itself aloud, with a malig- nant intensity of tone that boded ill for Serap Johnson when that moment should come, He stooped down to ease the heel of his boot, then limped along with a groan. “He'll pay for that damn blister, too,” he muttered savagely, as he forged ahead, his eyes squinted into the distance for a glimpse of the scattered buildings of the Fly- ing Six. ‘inally they loomed in sight, and. Josh Hastings slowed up as he lanned his campaign action, en, regardless of his blistered feet, he broke into a run for a nearby coulee. He had no time to lose if he was going to make the lower corral and get a horse with- out being seen. When he had left the ranch to Yollow Scrap Johnson, he had an- nounced that he might spend the night in town, so no one was ex- pecting him. Right now the boys would be either‘in the mess shack or gathered around waiting for the supper call, so here was his chance for a safe getaway. At the Central Divide LLOWING the coulee, he came at jlast to, the lower corral, which was hidden from the ranch buildings, and located a good 300 yards distant from the upper corral. Roping himself a horse, Josh Bastions ere saddled him and rode back through the coulee which sheltered him from view. He £ ve the ranch house a wide . berth, and headed off for the mountains at a run, It “= more than an hour later * when he reached the trail that eventually led to the pass across the divide, The last streams of color from the afterglow of the sunset-were fading into light pinks and laven- ders, and twilight was well under way, as he started up the steep climb between the living walls of P’Oniy the faintest light nly the faintest light penetrat- ed through the thick branches that interlaced overhead, but Josh Hastings pushed on, his lust for re- venge still strong upon him. There would be a moon later to guide him through the pass in the saddle of the divide’s profile, if he had not overtaken his victim by that time. But he figured he would come upon him before reaching the central divide. Urging his horse on, he finally emer; from the heavily tim- bered slope of the eastern divide and, topping the ridge, down to the shallow valley that lay between it and the central divide. Quickly crossing the val- ley, Josh Hastings urged his mount on up the scantily timbered slope = a Sivide. e light of the risi moon gradually spread over the whole} eer. and 3 ~ time he} reac! the crest of the pass it was high in the heavens. Lg search. A dai ei Just i Ha the pate of rock was a small gra: au, which harbored a sprag-ted stream. From its mysterious depths water flowed in both directions, part seeking the Bitter Root river in Montana, and part flowing to the ‘Clear Water river in Idaho: _ As Hastings neared-this strange spot, his mount Pl ed restive- ly, and: instead ‘0! for the inviting a ‘ae £ ied Sf peo in the moon! ie ant tried to whirl barks and head through the pass F steadied the animal and, urging him on with a sharp cut of his quirt, reached the small grassy meadow that bordered the stream. Peering ahead through the moonlight, he made out a strange, hunched form lying by the edge of the water. He swung his mount sharply at right angles and headed him away from the gruesome discovery. Dis- mounting at some little distance, he came back on foot to investi- gate, a baffled sense of te 4s Tis- j ing in him at the thought of being cheated of his revenge. He turned over the inert figure, then let out a startled oath as he gazed at the deadly white face which he had exposed to the moonlight. Instead of the pinched features of Scrap Johnson that he had ex- pected to see, the still face of Ted Gaynor in its, frame of glossy black hair, stared up at him. The Trail Of Blood R ECOILING in the first surprise of finding his other enemy so unexpectedly delivered into his hands, Josh Hastings stared back at the pose“ dead face for a long moment. Then he dropped on his knees, and placed a hand over Ted’s heart. A it of Neg Perigrg es- caped him as he detected a faint beat. But after examinii the wound that gaped in the fallen man’s chest, a grim smile of satis- faction flickered for a moment on his lips. * kon a good enough job’s been done on ie after all,” he ob- served callously. He rose to his feet and stooped down to pull some grass to wipe the blood off his hands, “Scrap Johnson’s saved me some trouble there, all right.” He scanned the ground car fully, walking back and forth in | ‘Laabs and Greenberg | Detroit THE KEY WEST CITIZEN \ELDEN AUKER HANDCUFEED YANKEES | WILD GAME WITH 2 HITS; BRU INS AND GIANTS WIN sco REDS DEFEAT BEES acain;|® ATHLETICS WON TWO IN A ROW; PIRATES DOWNED PHILLIES \Yankees Are Leaders— “"Spebint to The Citizen) NEW YORK, July 29.—Elden | Auker did what most fans have; thought jmpossible—held Murder-} ers’ Row to two hits.

What’s this?” He stopped short and bent down to examine a large flat stone, that harbored a strange dark spot on its rough gray surface. Josh Hastings experimentally stuck his finger in it, and exploded into an oath as he pullled it back, covered with a sticky red stain. ‘Begins to look more like @ duel!” He leaned down close, and found several more dark ts, leading away from the stone. Fol- lowing them, he came to some beer e rt, “autos el xcitement lowed in the vague tracks. After going 50 feet or he came at last on the Object of his irk form in the underbrush by the edge of the he spot, and this time as Josh lastings leaned close to identify this second victim, he saw the man ~ had expected to find in the first place. A brief examination showed him to be far less seriously wounded than Ted Gaynor. He had evident- ly fainted from loss of blood from a flesh wound in his arm, but his pee and his heart both seemed ng. An ugly look twisted Josh Hast- ings’ mouth, as he stood lookin, down at the man he had pursu: with such ruthless intent for vengeance. A cunning gleam came into his a as he glanced back to where Ted Gaynor lay. It was easy h struct what had happen D to. ed. Scrap Johnson had undoubtedly won the raw and first, and Gaynor’s shot had gone wild, first caching by chance the fleshy part of John- son’s arm.
