Then stooping, he gathered Kay in his arms, and lay her across the sad- dle. Mounting behind her, he gath- ered her into his arms so that her head rested on his shoulder, and slowly and carefully started the }y, descent. By the time they reached the “ stream, it was clear that Kay was not going ito be able to ride Flicker back to,the ranch, Untying him, ‘Tom gave him a sharp cut of his quirt, and listened while he splashed across the stream and headed up the trail of the west- ern slope of the eastern divide, Then, holding Kay tightly to him, he guided his horse into the dark swirling water. All through the long ride out of the mountains, Kay babbled on in her delirium, and Tom Runyon listened. An ly look flashed into his es whenever Kay mentioned ‘ed’s name. It was evident that she thought more of Ted than Tom had supposed, but instead of shaking him from his purpose to win Kay for himself, it made him all the more determined.
