MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 1987. BY MARIZ DB NERVAUD 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 Kay and her ranch. Ted and Scrap Johnson, a cowhand .who molests Kay, shoot it out, wound- ing each other. Hastings sneaks up and kills Scrap with Ted’s gun. Ted is arrested and tried for mur- der, but Kay stops the. trial by technical protest. Ted escapes and rescues Kay from a cellar where Hastings had locked her. Back at her ranch, she stays hidden, wait- ing to turn up at Ted’s second trial when he hopes to prov Hastings’ villainy. ’ Chapter 47 < Kay And Marion Meet 8 des took Tom Runyon away from the trial to go down and investigate the fire,” said Shorty. “They did!” Kay suddenly re- membered Tom Runyon’s, excited conference with the two men she had seen come up to him, when she had been running away from him and Josh Hastings. “Sure,” Shorty leaned forward confidentially. “Say—it looks like thi yon bird’s almost as good says he is!” He paused, and (Kay with a speculative eye. ‘ou’ve sure got me guessin; Here I thought you were kin of en with this Gaynor guy. Then when it came out at the trial that you’d given away his hidi lace to Tom Runyon, I thought anyon was the lucky fellow! Now, hang it all, if you don’t seem a heap more stirred up about what's happened to Gaynor than to Runyon, Women sure are the beatingest!” Shorty finished his tirade with- out noticing that Kay’s eyes were fixed on him in a sort of trance. “What was that you said, Shorty?” she demanded. “Why, I was saying that I thougat you liked—” “No.” Kay interrupted. “I mean about the trial—about me giving away Ted Gaynor’s hiding place to Tom Runyon?” “Say, that’s no news to you, is it?” Shorty asked. “How else could Runyon have reported it to Zeke Farley?” _ A great roaring in Kay’s ears almost drowned out Shorty’s voice. Suddenly the answer to Ted’s ling behavior flashed before er. How else could he have acted, if he thought she had been the one to betray his hiding place? “But if. Tom Runyon testified that,” she protested wildly, “sure- ly he told them that I was delirious and didn’t know what I was say- ing! To my knowledge I certainly never told anyone that I had seen Ted in the shack up there!” Shorty let out a low whistle. “So that accounts for it!” He wrinkled his forehead. “Nope. Nothing was said about your being out of your head. I got the whole thing from a fellow who was there.” With a moan, Kay buried her face in her hands. For the mo- ment, she hated Tom Ri even _more than she did Josh Hastings. She could kill him for having given that false impression to Ted! “Shorty!” Kay bit her lips in an effort to keep her voice steady, and her eyes failed to meet Shorty’s sympathetic ones. kind of think I'd like to be alone. Thanks for the roe “That's O. K.” Shorty shifted un- easily from one foot to the other. He made one or two false starts in an effort to say something, then abruptly took his leave. Hunting For Ted pre gray light of dawn was stealing over the mesa when of let herself out the cabin door and ran down to the corral. Whistling softiy for Flieker, she held his head close for a moment, to suppress his joyous jinny. m she saddled him and head fot, the mesa, giving a wide,circle fhe bunk house. 4 at a sleepless night, Kay had ved at one inescapable conclu- sion. Whatever the consequences, she couldn't let Ted get away, car- rying with him the idea that she had betrayed him. The only clue she had as to where she might find him was his statement that he was going to see if Marion Howell needed him. In spite of her misery, Kay’s heart lightened as it never had before at the thought of Marion Howell. In this new light on Ted’s behavior, she saw the whole situa- tion like a clear pattern, and her intuitive certainty that Ted really did love her reasserted itself. During the interminable night she had fitted all the puzzling ieces of the pattern together— ‘eds’ gruffness and bitterness, af- ter the first moment of abandon when he had kissed her; his re- marks, so meaningless before, that he couldn't trust her to know he had gone to Marion; the certainty that Ted's feeling for Marion was that of a grateful friend, “How lke jhim,”..K “to risk his own safety phip as well as for love! A tender smile lighted her face for a moment. She gave Flicker free rein, and as they raced over the mesa, her mind flew from one memory of Ted to another, always coming back to the dread question: would she find him? Or would she be too late, and have to resign herself forever to be branded in his mind _as a traitor? Goaded by this thought, Kay urged Flicker to his topmost speed. By the time the sun was over the horizon, she was once more ascend- ing the fatally familiar trail. Up and up she went, then plunged down between the two divides, only to ascend still higher. As she gained the upper reache: she was aware of a faint, acri smell, Kay’s eyes scanned the sky to the south, and as a bend in the trail gave her momentarily an unob- structed view, she detected a haze lying low over the far distant wooded ridge. Certain now that she had smelled smoke, Kay soothed Flick- er’s restiveness, and pushed reso- lutely on. As Shorty had said, the was too far away to worry about, and with all the forces of the fire eaters against it, it was , surely under control by now. As Kay d the stone monu- ment, marking Ahe old boundary between the states, she felt a glow of satisfaction at the memory of ' her success in using that fact. At last the pass was behind her and, with beating heart, she reached the headwaters of the Bitter Root and Clear Water rivers, and made for the shack on the south ridge. Leaving Flicker, Kay pushed her way through the un- derbrush, and came out finally on the clearing. Tears And Comfort ‘HE shack loomed at the end of the open space, as deserted looking as ever: Kay ran to the front door, calling first Ted, then Marion Howell. As she pushed open the outer door, the inner one was pulled back, and Marion confronted her. “What do you want?” For a moment, Kay was speech- less at the change that had taken place in Marion, Her delicate beauty had given way under the strain, and instead of the attrac- tive girl Kay had glimpsed before, she faced a totally different per- son. Her whole aspect was hag- ard, and her forehead lined with lesperate anxiety. Kay put an impulsive, pleading hand on her arm. “Please let me come in! I’m Kay Crandon, and I must see you! Is Ted Gaynor here?” A hard look of dislike flashed over Marion’s face, “Why?” she demanded. “So you can give him up el, “T didn’t.” Kay's agonized denial had a ring of truth that made F thobght, | frien: Marion pause a moment, as she tried to free herself from Kay's detaining hand. “You must believe me!” Kay went on, holding Marion’s arm all the more firmly. “I did see Ted here. But wild horses wouldn't have dragged it from me. I was racing home and was thrown, Tom Runyon found me and carried me back. I was delirious then, and for several days afterward. Whatever I may have said, it is not fair to lay it up against me.” ‘or a long moment Marion gazed “J_]| at her, Kay’s eyes met hers with- out faltering, a desperate appeal in their yellow brown depths, that gradually gave way to a mixture of pride and grief. “You love him, too!” Without knowing what she was saying, Kay burst forth with this exclamation, a fession of her inner fear. *“You poor dear!” Marion’s hard look faded, and she drew Kay in- side. “Of course I don’t! I’m en- gaged myself, so you need have no concern over my feeling for Ted. Nor of his feeling for you. That time you saw us, he was tell- ing me how much he loved you!” _ In her sudden revulsion of feel- ing Kay found herself weeping her heart out on Marion’s shoulder, while Marion gently led her to the bunk and sat down beside her, murmuring soothing words, until her paroxysm should have passed. “Where is he?” Kay sobbed at last, when her emotion allowed her thoughts to become more coherent and articulate. “I can't let him go away, believing that of me!” Marion made a despairing, help- less gesture. “God knows where he is! He turned up last night when I was on the point of going mad! I don't know what would have hap- pened if he hadn’t come.” She shuddered. and her eyes darkened with the tragic anxiety that her sympathy for Kay had for the moment blotted out. “He’s gone after my father.” “Your father!” Kay echoed in surprise. “Why, where is your | father?” “T'm going to tell you the whole -| story,” Marion declared impul- sively. “I know I can trust you, and T just have to tell someone. I'm nearly crazy!” “Tell me!” It was Kay's turn to assume the role of comforter.
