The gun’ is found and Sheriff Farley searches for Ted. Kay decides to. ~ ook around herself at the scene of the shooting. Chapter 30 Calling The Fire Patrol miles slipped past, and Kay finally came to the wooded slope of the eastern divide, Re- membering that this was the re- gion Tom Runyon was patroling, She speculated idly on the chances of meeting him. Im one way, she hoped she wouldn't. Yet, on the other hand, she might be able to give him her idea of the mysterious circum- stances surrounding the death of Scrap Johnson, and so make his tude less antagonistic to Bhs probabilities were that Tom Runyon hadn’t heard anything it, and it might be well to the trend of his first impres- peeeee = gave Flicker free rein to steep climb, she realized Runyor might be a valu- .

A Stake Marks The Spot HALF mile or so from the summit, Kay came on. one of the granite monuments that mark the meridional boundary between the two states. She drew in for a moment and studied its undressed surface broken by the smooth left for cutting the words “Montana” and “Idaho.” An empty feeling tempted her to stop and eat her lunch here.
