i By BY MARIS DB NERVATD SYNOPSIS: Josh Hastings, own- er of the Flying Siz, tries to buy Kay Crandon’s Lazy Nine after her ranch house and barn burn, He also tries to court Kay, but she distrusts him and is deter- mined to keep her ranch. Ted Gaynor, a puncher she impulsive- ly hired, stirs the outfit to cut its own timter and rebuild without pay. Hastings’ cowhand, Scrap Johnson, molests Kay, but Ted rescues her and whips Scrap. Later they have a gun duel at the divide, wounding each other. Hastings, who hates both men, finds them and murders Scrap, ‘using (Ted’s gun to frame him. Ted crawls to a shack where a girl takes him in. Chapter 22 Anxious Waiting AY woke up with a start, as a ray of the early morning sun slanted through her cabin window and shone insistently in her eyes. “Thank goodness the sun’s out at last!” She glanced out the window, then snuggled down in bed again to indulge in a few moments of tempting day-dreams. It was the third day since Ted had left, and Kay planned. with happy excitement the way she would greet him, when he arrived with his’ mother and sister. hurriedly dressed and ran up to the mess shack for breakfast. Ted and his family probably wouldn’t arrive before noon, any- way, but there were still a number of finishing touches that she want- ed to put on the cabin. ji Giving an involuntary skip of sheer joy of living at the beauty | of the morning, Kay drew in a long breath of the invigorating air. After the two-day downpour, everything was so fresh and glis- tening, that it must be a good omen. The morning flew past, and by noon Kay had the cabin completely finished, and bright and shining for its new occupants, She had a guilty feeling that she should have ridden over to see Aunt Kate instead of devoting her whole morning to the pleasant ex- citement of getting ready for Ted. But she eased her conscience by the thought that she would go over after the arrival of the newcomers, so that she could tell Aunt Kate all about them. All during lunch, Kay had an ear out for the pounding of hoofs, and rattle of the livery buckboard from Red River, but the quiet of the mesa was undisturbed. The afternoon wore on, and by four o’clock Kay found herself nervous and irritable with disap- ointment. If she waited any longer, it would be too late to ride over to see Aunt Kate. She’d never hear the end of it if she let all to- day go past without seeing her. Stie Wad recdvered from her hurt feeling at the'news Tom Runyon On the other hand, she’d be sure ‘Somehow Kay knew he'toas coming back to her. had brought of Ted’s first fight with Bora. Johnson. Whatever reasons he had had for not telling her, she was going to give him the benefit of the doubt, and wait until he was ready to tell her. Kay smiled drowsily to herself. One thing she was sure of— He hadn't been thinking of any dark haired girl when he had said good by to her! And somehow, she knew that he wasn't going te waste any. time getting back to her. During the storm that had raged for the last two days, Kay had busied herself getting the extra cabin ready for Ted’s mother and sister. It had been furnished in a rough sort of way. By picking out odds and ends from the bunk house, and using some of the few things that had been saved frym the fire, Kay hed contrived to make it quite homelike. Babs had ridden over once in the downpour to report that all was well at the Fying Six, and that Aunt Kate and she were in no pony to leave their present quar- rs. 4a © A frown puckered Kay’s fore- shead as her thoughts shifted from ‘Ted to the situation at the Flying «Six. It was pt he accepting “Josh Hastings’ hospitality for ,@members of her family, even if she wasn't accepting it for herself. ¢ She hadn'tseen him alone since * that visit when she had told him ‘of her plans, with such near-disas- trous consequences. One thing, at least, had come out of it. She had positive proof now that Josh Hastings was working against her. The doubtful point was whether he knew that she was aware of his efforts to get the tim- berland away from her. Unless Serap Johnson had gone back and reported what had hap- | pened. Josh Hastings would have no way of knowing whether Kay had known of his plot. And Kay had a hunch Serap wouldn't be too cribe that afternoon's events t is boss. He'd be much more likely to realize his useful- ness on this range was over, and to clear out. At least while Aunt Kate and Babs were under his roof, it would be best to pretend ignorance of Josh Hastings’ real attitude toward her.

Sud- pec poy was aware that Seth was speaking to her. “What did you say, Seth?” She came to with a start. “Gosh, you must be getting deaf!” Seth grumbled. “I’ve been asking you about six times when you expected Gaynor back. J thought it was today.” “Tt was, but something must have happened to delay him.
