WHURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1987. BY MARIE DI NERVAUD SYNOPSIS: Fire destroy’s Kay Crandon’s Lazy Nine ranch house and barn. Josh Hastings, owner of the Flying Siz, tries to buy her ranch and court Kay. She hates him and. is determined to keep her ranch and rebuild. Ted Gay- nor, & puncher she impulsively hired, fights Scrap Johnson, a cowhand who molested Kay. They shoot it out, wounding each other. Hastings finds them unconscious Ted crawls to a shack where a gitt named Marionnur: itt.’ > The gun is found and ar ley hunts Ted.

Chapter 32 Unconscious Betrayal pst the suicidal chances she was taking, but refusing to heed them, Kay urged Flicker on, in obedience to the compelling de- sire for speed that possessed her. Relief at knowing Ted was safe and not badly hurt was complete- ly overshadowed by her frustrat- ed sense of loss. Her feeling was none the less bitter for her violent self disgust. Fool that she had been, to let herself care for a man who had obviously just been play- ing with her! Probably Ted had been flatter- ing her, and kidding her along just the way she did Tom Runyon! And she had taken ‘it all seriously, and allowed herself, to dream about him, and imagine all sorts of vague and delightful future possibilities. “Thank goodness that’s all over, Flicks!” She declared fiercely, find- ing relief in voicing her torturing thoughts out loud. “I've got his Measure now and I'll never think of him se veagee Let them hang him for murder if they want to!” She broke off with a horrified sob. “No, no! I don’t mean that!” She pulled Flicker in as they came to a sharp curve in the trail and started up a steep rise. Flicker stopped gratefully, but stood blow- ing and stirring restively, as though the contagion of his mis- tress’s mood had spread to him, setting every nerve aquiver, Twilight was almost gone, Kay noticed, coming out of her concen- tration on her inner feeling to a startled realization of the present. She must at least get down across the valley between the two divides before night overtook her. Fording the stream that raced between the two ridges was no easy Ley | in. full daylight, and to attempt it in the dark would be an insane risk. “What do we care, Flicks?” Kay demanded rebelliously, in answer to her thought. She gave Flicker a sharp click of her heel, and or ey him up the slope, then headed down again at a break-neck pace that was even more perilous than before, in the half light. Suddenly Flicker stumbled and almost pitched headlong, but re- eovered in response to Kay’s steadying pull on the reins. Before he was able to come to a halt on the steep descent, a large rock, loosened from the cliff above them, clattered down at his feet. This proved the last straw for Flicker’s strained and Ps yee | nerves. With a. terri boun: Psa oat hng plunged and went wn on knees, pitching, over his head onto the rnd Scrambling to his feet, Flicker jumped over the prostrate form ly- ing motionless in the trail, before him, and raced on in a mad rush of terror. Tom Considers Matrimony (Fen some time after Kay left im, Tom Runyon watched her e threaded her way along the rail. “Some girl!” he observed aloud with an admiring appraisal of the Bhan poise of her lithe figure on icker’s back. “The first girl I've seen in a long time that would be a matrimony! He watched for Kay’s reappear- ance around a curve in the trail, and added complacently, “Yes, sir-ee! I've a good mind to make her Mrs. Tom Runyon, damned if I haven't! I could go a heap far- ther and fare worse. Even if her ranch house is burnt down, she’s got a pretty piece of property there.” he went on, ruminating aloud. “And she’s some looker into the bargain!” Turning away, as Kay at last passed out of sight, Tom Runyon went back to where he had left his horse, a smile of fatuous satisfac- tion on his face. He never doubted Kay's acquiescence to the flatter- ing prospects he was entertaining of her future, as he went on to plan his campaign to win her hand. “Looks like she's kind of stuck on this Gaynor guy,” he'confided to his mount, as he headed down the trail. “But I reckon he’s pretty well out of the picture now. And if he isn’t, I can s He gave a coi then went on w reckon good bet to corral into ! As soon as I get off tomorrow, I'll go'up the. way she asked me to, an: on rt hightail it over to the Lazy Nine with my findings! And oh, boy, they'll be some findings!” Planning to stick around on the | chance of seeing Kay on her way ; back, Tom Runyon spent a good part of the afternoon on the look- out for her, as well as scannin the ridge for a telltale smoke col- umn. i Ever since he had come to patrob this region, the fires had ceased. Today was the first gimpre of smoke he had had, and he grinned with ‘a satisfied memory of the cause of it. = i “Reckon that firebug isn’t taking any chances now he knows I’m on the job,” he observed, as he drew his mount in on a Seperate of rock that gave a good view of the | trail that Kay would soon be de- scending. “I’ve half a mind to ride | back with that little red head and | pop the question, now!” __ After Scag owes 8 waiting an! hour or more, Tom Runyon’s good | humor began to be strained. He! had not wanted to take a chance of } missing Kay by poing back to his | camp to get a bite of supper, and the pangs of hunger were decided- ly affecting his temper. The sun dipped behind the cen- tral divide, and the afterglow flamed across the sky, but no Kay appeared on the distant trail. Anxiety finally got the better of Tom's ill temper, and he decided | to ride on and meet her. As the twilight deepened, he found him- self headed down the west slope of the eastern divide. By the time he reached the stream at its foot, it was nearly dark. Pulling his mount in, he weighed | in his re i possible causes of Kay’s iy. There was the chance, of course, that she had headed along. the ridge, after coming through the pass, instead of com- ing back this way at all. that was the case, it would ‘be a crazy wild goose chase to go up the central divide at night look- ing for her. The harvest moon could still be depended on to light up the last halfof the night, but he didn’t relish the idea of following Na Kay’s trail by dark if she was already safely back at the Lazy Nine. In Flicker’s Wake DISTANT clatter of hoofs brought him out of his musin, to alert attention. With puckere brow, he listened intently, and as the sounds came nearer, he let out a puzzled oath. Kay surely wouldn’t be crazy enough to take the trail at that pace, even if she was trying to beat the gathering darkness. Putting spurs to his horse, Tom forced him into the dark waters of the stream, and made his way across, just in time to meet Flicker, wild-eyed and riderless, racin; toward him, Flicker wheele abruptly at the sight of the horse and rider waiting to block his path, and whirled to one side, but Tom Runyon rode him down, and frbbed the bit. With wary ski checked his .pl and ai a: brought to a quivering ‘Tom was sure now that some- thing had happened to Kay. He los: no time in tying Flicker to a tree beside the stream, and took the trail at a run.

After covering the distance that he judged Flicker had covered from the moment when he had first heard him, Tom pulled his horse in and pri led more cau- tiously, He called Kay’s name from time to time, and listened anxious- ly for some response. His horse plunged with a sudden snort and refused to go on. Tom swung to the ground, ran up the trail and dropped on his knees be side Kay's prostrate form. Pulling out his pocket flash, he examined the ugly cut on her head, and felt for her heart. It was stronger than he had dared te hope, and her pulse had a reassur- ing beat. Tom lifted her head on his knee and chafed her hands in the hope of reviving her sufficiently to get her back ‘with more ease than if she were @ dead, unconscious weight") "" After a few minutes, she stirred restlessly, shifting her head and muttering. Tom Runyon bent close to hear what she was saying, and a grim satisfaction spread over his face as he caught her words. “What cabin?” he prompted gently. “The cabin by the clearing,” Kay moaned, unconsciously responding to his question in her delirium. She drifted again into unintelligible mutterings, then exclaim in clear tones, “The black haired girl! There is a black haired girl!” “Where is she?” Again Tom's voice seemed to penetrate to her subconscious, “In the cabin with Ted.” A broken sob escaped Kay. “Both of them—up there in the cabin.” A flicker of triumph gieamed in Tom Runyon’s hard eyes. “Never mind.” he soothed. “We'll fix that.” | (Copyright, 1937, Marie de Nervaud) Tom puts the sheriff on Ted's trail, j tomorrow.
