Ted Gaynor, a puncher she impulsively hired, fights Scrap Johnson, a cowhand It was an hour later before Joe reappeared, and this time Ted ac- companied him to the big room in front that was dignified by the name of court room.

Ted crawls to a cabin where a girl (Marion) nurses him. A week later the sheriff arrests him on a tip un- consciously given by Kay. Ted’s trial for murder at Clear Water Basin is going against him with- out a witness in his behalf. Chapter 39 Ted’s Defense fi esg remained for today only Ted's story to be told, and then the verdict. Ted had elected to con- duct his own defense, in the cer- tainty that his straightforward story would make more impres- sion than anyone else’s presenta- tion of the facts. But now as he thought over yesterday’s proceedings, with the cards stacked against him this way, he wasn’t so sure. He pulled out the heartbroken little note from his mother and sister that the sheriff had allowed him to receive, and read it for the hundredth time. Their touching confidence in his innocence was comforting, and, at least for the time being, they were tee cared for by some neigh- Ts. Pushing away the thought of what would happen to them if he was convicted, Ted wondered what, ad become of Marion. He had been uneasy about her, because he had a hunch that there was something tragic about her father that she hadn’t told him. And when they had announced in court yes- terday that she couldn’t come to testify because of the illness of her father, he had felt a presentiment that something was very wrong. As Ted pondered bitterly on his inability to help anyone, the dep- uty sheriff arrived with his break- fast. He brought it in, announcing with a grin that a lady was outside ‘and wanted to see him. “A lady?” Ted looked up eager- yy Perhaps Marion had come after 1 “Yeah. Sam Cutter said she could see you for five minutes. He always is partial to red heads.” “Red heads!” Ted echoed, his heart beating suffocatingly against his ribs. “You mean——” “Kay Crandon’s her name, and she’s coming back in half an hour,” he answered. Blood surged into Ted’s face, and he gripped the iron cot until his knuckles showed white in his deeply tanned hands. ‘ell her I’m not seeing anyone, Joe,” he said gruffly after a long pause. . Joe Bue at him in open- Mmouthed stupefaction. “Hell's, bells!” Why not?.She’s some look- er, and she sure seems anxious about you. You'd better see what she has to say.” “Tm not going to see her, do you hear me?” Ted turned so fiercely on him that Joe jumped. “All right, all right,” he soothed. “Have it your own way.” He went out and locked the door, leaving Ted to the tumultu- ous thoughts and emotions that —— tl oor pe ‘y's unexpected appearance on the scene proved how fittle he had succeeded in putting her out of his mind, in spite of his determination to do so. He longed with all his be- ing to see her, but the galling thought that she was the one who was responsible for his being there at all, steeled him against her. Nothing she could say could atone for that damaging fact, and it would be folly to let himself be irred up at this time by seeing her again. If ever he needed all his self control and wits, he needed them now, when he was fighting for his There was no place for Kay Crandon in the picture today! He forced his mind away from Kay, and concentrated on his Sosy. going over it from every angie to be sure it was straight and unshakable. But His Eyes Seek Kay | Boe in deep thought, he failed to hear Joe’s footsteps again in the corridor, and only looked up at the sound of his name, to see Joe xing a folded piece of paper through the door, “She said to give you that,” he said “Seems kind of upset at not seein’ you. Hadn't you better change your mind?” “No!” Ted thundered, looking w at him without moving. “And don't want any notes, either. Take it back to her.” aay, I kind of hate to do that. She'll feel bad!” Joe looked doubt- fully at the letter in his hand. “What's got into you to be so ornery?” “Clear out!” Ted snapped. “And *t come back until it's time for me to go to the trial!” Joe motioned Ted to his place at the other end, and then joined Sam Cutter. At another table, alongside, sat the 12 men who were to decide Ted’s fate. There was a small space left be- fore the rows of seats began. Ted could see at a glance that the room was even ‘more crowded than it had been on the aed before. Every seat was taken, and standing room was filled to capacity. In the sea of faces before him, Ted’s glance caught Josh Hastings and Tom Runyon, but he passed them by without change of expres- sion, his ares seeking Kay in spite of his resolution tc ignore her com- pletely. There were comparatively few women in the room and he singled her out almost immediately. His heart gave a great throb as he caught her eye. She was looking at him with par ee lips, her head held proudly, ut a hurt and bewildered expres- sion in her eyes. She gave a hesi- tating half smile, but Ted allowed his eyes to drift past her, without a flicker of recognition. Out of the corner of his eye he was conscious of the sudden rush of crimson that dyed her cheeks, then his attention was summaril, drawn to Sam Cutter, who pound- ed on the table, calling loudly for order, The ‘buzz. of subsided, and in an important voice he out- ij lined: the events of the preceding day. : Ted listened attentively, even Kay forgotten, as the vitalamoment approached when he ‘rhust make his plea. ¥ (24 bine The sheriff finished at last,..and turned to him. “We'll hear the prisoner’s story now,” he announced in a pompous manner. Kay Calls A Halt ‘ED stood up, and in a firm voice recited his story, which he had rehearsed so many times to him- self. He found his eyes uncon- sciously straying to Kay’s face. And when he came to tell how Scrap Johnson had stolen up on him as he had been taking a drink, and shot him down by the water’s edge, he saw her blanch, and, with her hand at her throat, as though suddenly short of breath, glance over at Josh Hastings. Going on with his narrative, Ted told how he had dragged himself along the stream’s bank until he had come to the clearing, and Ma- rion had taken him in, and saved his life. There was a dead silence as he stopped. Then, Sam Cutter cleared his throat, and rose to his feet. .How about that fight you had with Scrap Johnson at Kelly’s? Do you it_you, threatened. to kill him that time?” Ted hesitated a moment. He saw clearly enough the trap that the sheriff was trying to lead him into, but he decided to stick to the absolute truth, “I believe I did,” he answered. “But that doesn’t prove I did it.” “Who was the girl you were fighting about?” A dull red crept up behind Ted’s ears, as the sheriff brought out this unexpected question. “T refuse to answer.” Ted re- turned Sam Cutter’s look with set- tled defiance. “That has no bearing on the case.” “I'm the judge of that!” Sam ipa snapped nw ee of e witnesses yesterday sai ral Johnson had Feferred to her as 4 red headed filly.’ Is that so?” “T refuse to answer,” Ted reiter- ated stubbornly. “The jury’ll do well to make a note of that,” the sheriff sneered. “Only I reckon they won't need it.

The first thing’ Eddie & Mr. Russell knew they, were on the short end of the score while Oharlie & \\Cookie proved that they were able to win without the benefit of any free strokes. The next time Mr. Strunk will think twice, Melvin hopes; while Messrs, Mesa and Ketchum do not care if Mr. Strunk ever thinks again. The next match had Mr. Red Wiley Milligan and Mr. Doc Pen- ababe Kemp on one side and Charlie Salas and Samuelta Gold- smith on the other. From the very first hole played Doe & Mil- lie had the opposition hanging on the ropes or we should say hang- ing on the edge of the fairways and therefore Charlie & Sam were resigned to fate until by devious methods they were able to get ‘even with the leaders. Once Doe knocked in a par five on the 5th when he was almost sure to get a 7 and another time Millie knock- ed in a birdie three on the 8th when a par would have been very good. Both claim the shots were made on purpose; maybe Doc’s wag but Millie did not know which club to use until his part- ner advised the pvtter and when Red put the ball into the can he claimed it wags on purpose. How- ever, after 18 holes the match was all even and on the 19th Red got the par with three 5’s from the other and therefore Doc & Millie eat free. Mr. Samuel Harris (our genial Postmaster) and Mr, Wikiam Fripp. beat Mr. Li Plummer and Mr. John Pinder with ease and elan although Mr, Pinder admits they had to go to the 17th before the match was decided one way or another. Mr. Hiummer’s friends hore that he will remem- ber which color ball he is shooting the next time and then not claim fevery ball that is found in the rough, Of course, Mr. Li says it is very seldom he ever goes into the rough and then it is to keep his friends company or to help locate théir lost ball. Mr. Har- ris being the biggest boy took the }smallest Boy for-a partner So when you get the big and little of anythnig you have an unbeat- able contbination. “ However, the big and little boys claim that Li and John’ together is a hard com- peination to beat and they feel quite elated to think they came Jout the winner of the contest.
