MONDAY. AUGUST 16, 1937. BY MARIE DE NERVAUD SYNOPSIS: Fire destroys Kay Crandon’s ranch house and barn. Neighbor Josh Hastings tries to buy her ranch and court Kay, but she hates him and is eager to rebuild. Ted Gaynor, a puncher she impulsively hired, fights Scrap Johnson, a cowhand who mo- lested Kay. Shooting it out, they wound each other. Hastings finds them unconscious and kills Scrap with Ted’s gun. Ted crawls to a cabin where a girl (Marion) nurses him a week. Kay sees them together, misunderstands and deliriously gives away the “hideout” after falling off her horse. Ted is arrested and Sheriff Zeke Farley quizzes Marion, Chapter 35 A Disturbing Return “LJOW’D you come to be here in the first place?” asked Sheriff Zeke Farley. Marion steadied herself ‘2 meet this question’ she.had been dread- ing. “My father and I were on a camping trip,” she began, agree- ably surprisea to find herself speaking so easily and naturally. “He had to go back for a week or so on business, and I decided to wait for him here.” “All alone?” the sheriff exclaim- ed. “You weren’t afraid?” “Tm never afraid in the moun- taitis”” “Mayidn smiled faintly at I cae ‘ted wouldn't bs : aynor wo y alive, today, unless someone had ‘of him.” “Reckon;that may turn out to be wasted effort,” Zeke Farley com- mented grimly. “But that’s neither here nor there. What are you aim- to do now?” farion looked at him with wide-| aro, eyed surprise that he should ask such a question. “Why, wait here until my father tomes back,” she answered. “What's your father’s name?”| a}; the sheriff asked abruptly. “Chris Howell, and we're from Missoula. I’m Marion Howell.” “Chris Howell.” Zeke Farley re- peated the name reflectively. ‘Strikes me I’ve heard something = Chris Howell, and just lately, Marion paused a moment, to be sure her voice was under control. What rumors had he heard? And how much truth was there in them? “You may have heard that he’s been sick,” she said finally. “That’s one of the reasons we came wu here, to give him a complete He'd seen this old deserted shack once, and always had a notion that ped like to camp out here some do about you, if 're hell bent to stay here,” he must let bs "11 be wanted as a witness at the this charge against Ted Ga: alla terrible mistake, That | no pesntagl “He sure a way with the women, all > ” Zeke Farley commented. at's what Kay Crandon says.” “Oh, you've seen her, then?” Marion asked with eager curiosity. “Sure I’ve seen her, It was her Dad's gun, that she’d given to Gay- nor, that the killing was done with. But even in face of that, she’s sure he’s innocent. Or was, when I talked with her, at least. Seems like she’s changed her mind, a= ht” e Farley stooped down and jicked up his hat, pi tory to joining the others outsile. Thea he as a sudden thought struck Prim. A “Do you know ay" ‘ 4 Marion shook her head. “Ted pg anoel told me about her. I'd like “to meet her some time.” a “She's an Al girl,” Zeke Farley “answered. “And smart, too, I don't ow just how she found out Gay- nor was here, but she sure did Cut- ‘ter and me a good turn when she topes us off.” “What's that?” Marion asked in horrified amazement. “Kay Cran- don tipped you off?” “Sure she did. Or rather, she got a friend of hers to do it.” Zeke Far- ley pulled open the door as he spoke, and before Marion could say anything more, he had waved his hat to her, and stepped out to join the others. Thoughts About Kay WH a dizzy sense of having passed through a nightmare of unreality, Marion held on to the door frame of the shack and watched Zeke Farley and his men ride off. Sam Cutter had left with his sse and Ted, while she and Far- »¢ had been talking inside. Marion felt a sick disappointment to think | that Ted had had to go off without say word pe her. hy wave of sympathy swept over | her, as she thought of what the} sheriff had said about Kay Crandon} mor is man’s HARD-FOUGHT } { ROBERTS STARS AND SATANS WILL BATTLE FOR FIRST POSITION ht An interesting and hard game wil] be played th noon, weather pe = ween Roberts Caraballo Red Devils, 5 ars Should the Stary win, the So-/ Coca-Cola gy 2 3 .25@ id at last. “But you | eno! me know when you leave. evil having been the one who had tip- ped him off as to Ted’s where- abouts. It would just about kill Ted to know that the girl he was so fered about ‘had done a thing like that. “How could she!” Marion ex- marge i ods an anary resent ment ry pomeere er, and exatiding for moment all thought ‘of anything else. “She can’t be as. as Ted imagines her to be,” she went on scornfully, then stopped abruptly as another thought struck her and sent the blood flooding into her face, as it quickened her heart beats. How had Kay Crandon found. oer Pip could ~ poeibly have found out, except by having seen them there herself? A memory of the noise she thought she had heard the night before flashed over Marion’s mind. Was it possible that Kay Crandon had crept up and looked in the window, while she and Ted had been talking together? The irony of the fact that at the He & minute Ted had been ing to her about Kay, Kay herself might have been gazing in at them, unable to hear anything they said, but putting a wrong construction on the whole scene, brought a stifled cry of dismay from Marion’s lips. Ina flash she could see the whole thing with Kay’s eyes.

The next moment, she was flying down the steps, and over to the edge of the clearing behind the hut. “Dad!” she exclaimed, her voice vibrating with joy and relief. She started to throw herself into his arms, but he held her off, and with a rush of her old fear, she rec- apie’ the terrible wild look in eyes.

Her He took one lock in the door, then turned with a cold fury to Marion. * “What is the meaning of this?” The dangerous quiet of his voice was more terrible than if he had shouted at her. “Nice way you've followed my instructions!” “I couldn't help it, Dad!” Marion reached out an appealing hand and put it on his arm. “Two days after you left, a wounded man suddenly crawled into the clearing here. He was nearly dead, and if I hadn’t brought him in and taken care of him, he would have died. You wouldn’t have wanted me to do such an inhuman thing as to’leave him there to die like a dog, would ou?” “Ha, ha!” her father denly gavea wild Jaugh, that alte Mare ion start with horror. “Of course not! Don’t let a stranger die! Kill your father instead!” A feeling of helplessness and a nameless horror deprived Marion for a moment of all power of speech. This was just the way her father had been when he had first had his breakdown! He had come back from a mystegious absence like this one, wild’ and uncon- trolled, and it had been all she could do to manage him. It was from some of his muttered ravings then, that she had had an inkling of what he had been doin; while he was away, but she ha closed her mind to the terrible sus- picion which his words aroused. Now was it all to begin over again, just when she thought she had succeeded in bringing him out of his mental unrest to a more reasonable state of mind?
