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 “ed’s gun. Ted crawls to a cabin where a girl (Marion) nurses him. Kay sees them to- gether, misunderstands and de- liriously gives away the hideout after a fall. Ted is arrested and taken away, then Marion’s men- tally upset father returns. Chapter 36 The Dread Truth “WELL, why don’t you say some- thing?” her father glared at her. “I suppose that’s what you’re waiting for! Get your father killed off, so you can have the ranch and marry Hal Taylor. That prospector will never have ent money of his own to marry youl I see your scheme!” His voice was growing louder and louder, and he gesticulated with nervous jerks toward the cabin. “Get rid of the old man! Get the sheriff after him! Get-—” “Dad, Dad!” Marion pleaded, finding her voice at last. “Please come in and lie down, and let me éct you somef ¢offee!

I bet the sheriff would pay you money for me!” He bent nearer, his eyes screwed into re slits. “Never thought of that, di 2 Thirty pieces of silver! We shi at's what. You try him!

There was nothing to do but watch for the moment when exhaustion claimed him. That was the way it had been before, but this attack was worse than any of the others. Chris Howell straightened uy suddenly, and gave a Scieephant sweep of his hand. “Let ‘em come!” he declared ae: “Let all the sheriffs come! it crackle! ‘They, didn’t see the see flames shoot a the and wrap around the branches!

But naturally, I’m interested in what’s hap, to him, as a matter of Cay. if nothing more.

But Hal, off in the mountains, was an inaccessible as ba — eo at would happen to him? The discovery she hed made about Kay flashed into her tor- tured mind. In fairness to Ted she ought to see Kay and explain that she was engaged to Hal and that what Kay had thought was all a mistake. But how could she leave her father? A deep snore from the other room pulled her back to the dread reality of the present. Not for one instant must she leave him! She must nurse him back to sanity and never, never must anyone know the terrible truth. Until he was completely re- covered, she must never leave him alone to carry out his wild frenzy of destruction.

No mat- hitting well but the pitchers do not seem to get going. Manager Cochrane, with ‘Coach Del Baker, still have hopes of landing in sec ond position, Indians—It is rumored that O'Neil will lose his job as mana- ger. Only Hugues, Lary and Overill have played well in the field. Solters, Weatherly and Campbell have proven weak afield. Allen will soon take his turn on the mound after eight weeks’ absence. Feller and Hudlin continue pitching good ball. Aver- if, Pytlak, Campbell and Solters well the Cards would have been in first place. Now the battle looms for second position split in the world’s series. Ducky Wucky Medwick continues his hitting and Mize married on August 8 to Mrs. Jane Adams, whom he met in Ha- vana. Cutside of Mize and Med- wick, only J. Martin is hitting over .300.

Grissom has been a sensation in the box and Chick Hafey hag played a great game. There are three fellows named Davis on the club and none relat. ed to each other—George, Ray and Virgil Davis. The outfield now consists of Davis, 33; Hafey, 34 and Cuyler, 388—a total of 105 years. But they are good. Phillies+-Wilson predicts that his club will land in the sixth slot of the league. But he has to do better than he has done. Walters and LaMaster are the best pitch- erg on the club. The hitters are all good. Camille, Whitney, Wil- son, Aronovich, Klien and Martin are hitting over .300. But there is something lacking and it is in the pitching department.

Browns—It seemg as though the Brownies are doing no better with Sunny Jim Bottomley at the helm, for he is getting the hits but can not hdd down the opponents. Vosmik, Bell, West and Clift are hitting over .315, but that is all. Athketics—Connie Mack has the best chance in years to get out of the cellar. His club is not yery far from the Browns.
