THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1987. BY MARIZ DB NERVAUD SYNOPSIS: Kay Crandon de- ‘cides to rebuila her burned ranch house and barn, though Neighbor {Josh Hastings, whom she hates, ~~ wants to buy her ranch and marry ‘Kay. Ted Gaynor, a puncher she is ively hired, fights Scrap Johnson, a cowhand who mo- lested Kay. They shoot it out, wounding each other. Hastings sneaks up and kills Scrap with Ted’s gun. Ted crawls to a cabin where a girl (Marion) nurses him a the sheriff arrests » toa tip unconsciously Kay. The sheriff and his start off with Ted for Clear Basin jail. Chapter 38 The Cards Are Stacked ‘*UX7AIT a minute!” Ted reined in ‘ by the stream where he had so nearly breathed his last. “Where was Scrap Johnsor found?” “Esidty where you dropped him, Ain’t that a surprise, now!” Sam Cutter winked at one’ of his men, who guffawed in apprecia- tion of his chief’s sarcasm. “Come on! The state ain't asking you to do any investigating.” Biting his lips to cut off the re- tort that sprang to them, Ted|P obeyed the order. But there was one more question he had to know. He tur to the man following him. “How did you find me? And how did it nappen that both posses got there at the same time?” The other one grinned. “Tipped off by a girl,” he answered with relish, “You're sure one hell of a fellow with the ladies!” “A girl!” Ted echoed, his grip on himself shaken for a moment with the aecpeise and shock of this news, “What girl?” Ted’s mind reeled before. the thought that Marion might have crept away while he was sleeping, and have betrayed him. She cer- tainly was the only girl that knew his whereabouts! But the next in- stant he cursed himself for even harboring such a thought. Marion would have been utterly incapable of such a sneaking act! could no more have done a tg like that than Kay could. rch me!” It was evident that the man he was ee was Pag enjoying Ted’s stupefac- tion. “It was some Jane over in the Red River section. You seem to have girls all over the place!” he ended with mock admiration. “Red River!" Ted had a gone feeling at the pit of his stomach, and for a moment he swayed diz- zily in the saddle. “The Red River section?” he repeated incredulous- . “There ...ust be some’ mistake No “ chad any idea where T was “*Pears she was prowling around doing a bit.of investigating on her own. Hi, there, Sam!” he called ahead to the sheriff. “What was the name of that girl that tipped Zeke Farley off about this bird’s whereabouts?” “Crandon,” the sheriff called back. “Old Man Crandon’s daugh- ter, who's been fora Lazy Nine since he kicked off, about a year ago.” Ted gripped the saddle horn to keep himself from toppling over as a rushing blackness closed in on him. Fighting with all his power against the faintness that assailed him, he gradually felt the roaring in his eats give way, and pooh reeling landscape steadied it- se “It must all be a mistake,” he kept telling himself, but a ter- rible conviction persisted that Cutter knew what he was talking about. As though in a nightmare, Ted listened to the con- versation of ‘he two men, who were still talking back and forth, over his head, to each other. “I didn’t stop te ask Zeke any more about it,” Sam Cutter was saying. “The Crandon girl was staying at Josh Hastings’ ranch, she telephoned in from there. Said she saw him up there, with the black haired filly.” He turned around in his saddle and leered at Ted. “Take it from me, it don’t pay to have too many of ‘em on the string at one time! Get ’em jealous and they raise hell!” Ted was too dazed even to at- tempt a retort, Kay! Kay Crandon had betrayed him! He felt like shouting aloud that it was all a wild lie, but the shout died in his throat. Pride To His Aid ‘HEY said that Kay had seen him with Marion! How ...a sudden groan escaped Ted. He remembered now that Marion had thought she had heard something the afternoon before, when they had been talking. But if Kay had happened on them. why hadn't she made her presence known? Why «.. Suddenly, the significance of Sam Cutter's jeering advice flashed over him. Jealous! Could it be possible that Kay had been jjealous? f Ted's heart quickened at this jthought and what it implied, but imate he was in the a moment that Kay cared enough {| about him to be jealous! _ For a long time, Ted rode on in silence, his mind turning this way and that in an effort to find a way out of the labyrinth of despair that this act of Kay’s had thrown him into. Any way you looked at it, the conclusion was forced upon hi that he had been mistaken in Kay. There was no excuse, after what between them, for her to have given him “3 to the sheriff without allowing him a chance to explain his side of the story to her. He could forgive any- thing but treachery. And that was what Kay’s act had been. A reckless despair cl over Ted, but pride finally came*to his aid. If Kay had done that, there was all the more reason to prove his innocence! If he was convicted, she would fee] justified in her treacherous act. But when he was proved innocent, she would know foe a despicable thing she had lone. Not that he ever wanted to see her again, Ted told himself fierce- ly. This time, he was finished with women, now and forever. A vision of his mother and sister flashed before him, and he re- roached himself bitterly for hav- ing concentrated so on Kay, to the exclusion of them. For their sake, he must fight himself clear of this, H web that he had become e1 in! For their sake, and fof no on else. te Ne. 3 It was nearly lights of Clear Water we up in the distance, and Ted ‘wa hanging on to his ebbing str by sheer force of will. 7 When they at last reached th county pi. he heaved a great sigh of relief. Anything was better than that endless ride, with the des- perate fight against physical weakness and those torturing thoughts. He swayed as he dismounted, and reeled like a drunken man into the jail. The only thing of importance at the moment was sleep! Like a man in a trance, he an- swered the questions put to him, and at last, after what seemed an eternity, he was led to a cell at the end of a corridor, and the key Hoss in the barred door behind im. Dropping down on the iron cot, he fell into c deep sleep of ex- haustion. Wheels Within Wheels C WAS dawn of the second day of the trial. Ted Gaynor sat on the edge of his bunk, and watched the gray light steal through the Ty of the high window opposite im. For seven days, now, he had watched. that light change: frem drab gray to a sunny radiance, and back to gray in; then had come the long pe of black void, through which he snatched fitful hours of sleep. As he sat now, with his chin in his hands, he was forced to admit that things were going bad- ly. There was no doubt was being stirred up to run fiercely against him, and it was not hard to recognize who was behind it. Josh Hastings was out to get him convicted, and Ted knew that from that source he could e: no quarter. He held a ing knowledge of Josh Hastin; it that would utterly ruin him, if Ted coul@ ever bolster it up with yp co proof, nowing this, Josh Hastings naturally was out to make the most of this chance to get him out of the way once and for all. As Ted had sat in the courtroom the day before, watching the forces arrayed against him, he had real- ized that far more than the murder of Scrap Johnson was involved. There were many wheels within wheels, and he was being made the victim of varying passions and desires, Sam Cutter was determined to have a conviction; to; higi eredit before: election. Josh Hastings wanted Ted out of his/pathy Aed Tom Runyon, Ted suspected, wanted to gain credit in Kay's eyes by helping to convict him. Ted writhed inwardly as he re- membered Tom Runyon’s testi- mony yesterday. He had described finding Kay on ihe trail, and how she had told him about Ted and Marion. He had carefully left out any word of her real condition, and her delirium. Ted had heard only the damning confirmation of the account of his capture that had been Phen him on the trail by Sethe gun Kay had given him had e gun Kay given him been exhibited, and the bullet that had killed Scrap Johnson had been indisputably proved to have come from pe ew They had also produced as wit- nesses the men who had been in Kelly’s place the time Ted had f it with Scrap Johnson, and they testified, one after the other, that Ted had threatened to kill Scrap if he ever heard him men- tion a certain girl again.
