FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1937. FLAME TRAIL BY MARIZ DB NERVAUD SYNOPSIS: When Kay Cran- don of the Lazy Nine loses her ranch house and barn in a fire, Josh Hastings, owner of the Fly- ing Six, tries to buy her ranch and court Kay. She distrusts him and is determined to keep her ranch and rebuild. Hastings’ cowhand, Scrap Johnson, molests Ka», but Ted Gaynor, a puncher she impulsively hired, rescues her. Later they shoot. it out, wounding each other. Hastings, hating both, murders Scrap, us- ing Ted’s gun. Ted crawls to an unknown shack where a girl named Marion nurses him through a week of fever and ce- lirium. The gun is found and Sheriff Farley gets on Ted’s trail. Chapter 27 A Narrow Escape FAINT call from the inside of the shack sent Marion run- ning back. As soon as she stepped in the door and found Ted’s dark eyes fixed on her, she knew she had really won the battle. For the first time, his eyes gazed at her with a seeing look, and his pupils dilated with surprise. “Who — what — where am 12” Ted tried to raise his head, but his strength failed him, and he sank back exhausted by even that small effort. Marion crossed quietly to his cot id on his head, but she no long- 33 hea a e hot, dry skin we at om : to. expect through “You erg ot talk yet,” she warned ial Wouve been very sick, but you are going to be all right now.” 'Forsbine:time he pondered this, his eyes fixed on her face. “Where’s Kay?” he said finally. Marion shook her head. “I don’t know. I can’t tell you anything, so = don’t use up your strength asking questions. There is no one here but me.” “How—how long—?” His lids began to droop. Instead of answer- ing, Marion lightly held her hand over ons eyes, an Aa a few min- utes his regular breathing pro- claimed him asleep again. Stepping to the outer door, Mar- ion drew it to, leaving it slightly ajar and sagging on its hinges as she had first found it. Although she had been forced to break her a to her father when she d taken in this young man, she had scrupulously kept her word in every other regard. Anyone com- ing unexpectedly on the shack would have unhesitatingly pro- nounced it deserted. She moved quietly around the two rooms into which the cabin was divided, putting them in order while she waited for the water to boil = sieges am oil Bpuer which was her only sou! of heat. * She had taken a chance on build- ing a fire in the stove at night, but with the first coming of dawn she had put it out, so that no telltale smoke should betray their pres- ence.

If she could only take them off woe let ~ a eg ol in, ng of ci ing through the cracks, it would be so much more cheerful! She started toward the door, with a sudden decision to obey her im- pulse. After all, it was ridiculous to stay cooped up this way! If any searching party had been out for this wounded puncher, it had evi- dently passed by this hidden spot long ago, As she reached the inner door that led to a tiny vestibule, she suddenly stood rooted to the spot. Her hand clutched the door frame and her breath came fast. She lis- tened with desperate intentness for a repetition of the sound she thought she had heard. A second eer, & heard with See able distinetrgs; a shout e distance, and an answering call , Somewhat nearer. ‘ y ¥ ‘Don’t. Make A Sound’ ; PusHine. the inner door shut rj again, n darted to the oil stove ittied it out, then sat down by 's cot, her eyes fixed on him, watching for any sign that his sleep had been distw . With bated breath, she waited, while the voices drew nearer, her mind torn by indecision. /Should she make her presence | kn known? If Ted had been still in danger, she would have felt that she must get what help she could to save him. But now that she was sure he was on the road to recov- ery. her first duty was to her fa- er. If the dread suspicion she har- thing bored as to his activities was true, it would mean certain im ment and possible death for him if he were taken. To find her there would inevitably put any search- ers on his track, and they would ae Had take him when he came She put one hand on Ted’s fore- head and felt his pulse with the other. There was no doubt but that his fever was down and his pulse much stronger. A sudden shout outside made Marion start violently. She saw Ted’s eyes open as a man’s voice exclaimed, “Look at this clearing, will you? How'd we miss it be- fore? . Bending swiftly over Ted, Mar- ion whispered with compellin, intensity, “Don’t make a sound!lt is the one thing I in exchange for saving your life!’ T one wondering look at her, Ted feebly pressed her hand in acquiescence, ‘and together’ they waited in breathless silence, tening to the oncoming footsteps crashing through the brush. “Say, that’s old Ten Strike’s hangout! Didn’t you ever’ run across. it?” A second voice an- swered..the first. “His shanty there’s been deserted a dozen ears or more. Ever since the old joy kicked out.” “We'd better have a look at it,” the first voice boomed. “Gaynor might—” Marion felt the hand in hers jerk spasmodically. “Aw, what's the use?” the other voice broke in, impatiently. “We're just wasting valuable time. If that guy had been able to get as far as this after bumping Scrap Johnson off, he could have made a real get-away. And believe me, he wouldn’t have lost any time doing it! Besides, that shanty looks just the way it did the last time I saw it, a couple of years ago.” “Just the same, I’m going to have a look,” the first one insisted saint yourdelt.

Then she turned her eyes fearfully toward the door. A heavy tread tramped up the two steps, and the outside door was shoved open. Holding her breath, Marion braced herself for the next moment, when the in- truder would step across the space that divided the two doors, and push open the inner one. She could feel him peering in the small darkened space, and hear him stamp an experimental foot on the rotted flooring. Then, to her immense relief, he sprang back and shouted to his compan- ion: “Hi! Wait a sec! I’m coming!” Marion could scarcely believe that she was hearing his retreating footsteps. For a full second longer, the dread tension held her. The sight of Ted’s white face and closed eyelids, as he slumped back on the pillow, galvanized her to action, and she reached for some cold wa- ter to revive him.

But I'm as much in the dark about this murder talk as you are. You. be- lieve that, don’t you?” His eyes closed. sani with exhaustion. “Yes, I do believe it,” Marion answered, with conviction. “I can tell by looking at J se that are’ no murderer. And from what you said when you were delirious, I fathered that you'd been shot be- fore you had a chance to aim, and your shot had gone wild.” “That's just the way it was,” Ted nodded. “I don’t remember anything after that. I can’t sepa- rate delirium from reality. I could have sworn that I saw Josh Has- ie bending over me once, but that must have been plain ite mare. But where any murder comes in—” He suddenly raised himself on his elbow and demand- ed, “Why didn’t you let me find out what in hell they meant by this so of mmardert ee larion gently pushed him back. “Hush!
