FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1987. BY MARIL DB NERVAUD COCCCOOOOOOO OOH SHOHOTUEOEOOOEEESESEOCOSOOOOOOOSOFO; SYNOPSIS: Kay Crandon of the Lazy Nine impulsively hires Ted Gaynor, a jobless puncher. He helps her fight Josh Hastings, a “friendly” neighbor, who wants to get her ranch and marry Kay. Ted and Scrap Johnson, a cow- hand who molests Kay, shoot it out, wounding each other. Hast- ings sneaks up and kills Scrap with Ted’s gun, Arrested, Ted is tried for Scrap’s murder, but Kay stops the trial by technical pro- test, When the posse is taking Ted back to Montana for a sec- ond trial, he escapes and races to rescue Kay, whom Hastings has kidnaped and locked in a cellar, tring to force her into marriage.

As they stepped into the street, Ted shoved Kay sharply to the right. G down to discover the reason for his abrupt movement, ’$ eye caught sight of the crumpled black form, slumped against the edge of the road. She shrank back against Ted, clutch- ing his hand still more tightly. "Is it Josh Hastings?” “No. Worse luck,” Ted growled, leading the way to his mount. Kay hesitated as he motioned her to the saddle. “What are you to do?” she whispered, in Fs fear for him, as the signifi- icance of his appearance became to her, “How did you come here? Have you escaped? They'll get you again!” “Never mind that now.” As she still fog wa Page and swinging Beye her. The ne: moment, they were headed for the’ open range. A Note Of Bitterness A WILD thrill ran through Kay as she remembered that former ride with him. sec- ‘ond time, he had saved her! She felt again that certainty that he cared for her as she for him, and she relaxed in his arms. What did it matter where she was going, as long as it was with ? For some minutes right with Marion Howell, though. Tve got a hunch something’s mighty wrong.” These last words came out in a musing tone, almost as though he was talking to him- self. He gave a sudden start as he heard them uttered aloud. “That’s a dangerous thing to tell you though isn’t it?” he added bitterly. “Maybe you'll want to use it again.” “What do you mean?” Kay’s voice was both hurt and indig- nant. “I don’t understand you!” “Oh no! Sure you don’t!” Kay winced at his biting irony. “T don’t!” she declared hotly. “What do you mean?” “I haven’t thanked you for thinking up that clever way to get mea delay.” Ted abruptly changed the subject. “And you haven't told me how you got into Josh Has- | tin; starting with her finding the steel ’ hands.” ay told her story in her turn, ! nail head, and tracing it to Josh | Hastings’ gauntlet.

It'll be against his, and he'll talk you down.” G3 “But you can Witness I aw: your word for it that he was the one to bring you there.” Dead Girl’s Diary A SUDDEN memory of the note- book she had found flashed over Kay. Reaching in her pocket, she drew it out. She explained to Ted how she had found it, and also repeated what Josh Hastings had | said in his rage about having | used that place before. “He said that!” Ted’s every mus- cle tensed, and his voice vibrated with so strong an emotion of some sort that Kay twisted around in surprise. “My God! I wonder——” He reached for the notebook. “I've got to see this!” He pulled his mount to a halt and swung out of the saddle. Ga- thering up some dry bits of brush he struck a spark against a stone with a flint he had in his pocket. Kay slid down beside him, and with bated breath leaned over his shoulder as gh ve ao. .and read i e flickerin; The first pages seemed to be shi lists and bits of unre- lated memoranda. Then, sudden- ly, the writing became cramped crossing, as’ though it had been as thoug! a n written at random in the dark.

When he finally closed the book and spoke, his voice trembled. “Proof at last!” He turned to Kay. “This changes everything! Tl be there for the trial! But you've got to let me have this! I've got Hastings where I want him.” “What is it?” Kay begged. “You must tell me!” “Tt was written by a girl he kept — prisoner there in that cellar just neither of them ever Nothi moment eternity! , ke again! mattered but that this should stretch out to ,, taking you to Cedar Gulch."

Get back to Seth and the ranch as quick as you can.” “And you?” Kay breathed. “T'm clearing out. There’s noth- ing to stay here for, except to be framed for a necktie party.” His tone had a note of bitterness that ade Kay shrink back as though had struck her. She made no comment, and again they lapsed into silence, but this time the magic was gone from it. Once more Kay felt the bewild- ered hurt that Ted’s inexplicable sangs of mood gave her. Inex- plicable, at least, except from one angle: that he was in love with Marion Howell, and that what he did for her was simply accepting the chivalrous necessity of getting her out of a mess. If that was the case, she cer- tainly wasn’t going to let him — her feeling for him, Kay told erself proudly. She drew slightly “How far is it to Cedar Gulch?” “About seven miles.” ther escaped,” Kay said after another long pause. way from Farley's Saye ‘After I leave you, I'm going fantil the hunt lets up.

Will you do that?” ~ “Yes,” Kay promised quickly. “Then hurry!” Ted glanced up at the stars. “We mustn't miss that train.” Swinging her up before him again, he raced at full speed for Cedar Gulch. At the outskirts of the town, he pulled his mount in and lifted Kay to the ground. “TI don’t dare go any farther,” he said. “The station’s at the end of this street. You can’t miss it.” He swung into the saddle and grabbed the reins. Wheeling his horse, he headed for the mountains. “Remember!” he called back over his shoulder. Then without waiting for an answer, he was off at a hard gallop. (Copyright, 1987, Marie de Nervaud) Kay lies low at the Lazy Nine, te- | Morrow. Peninsular & Occidental Steamship Company “SS.
