FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1937. < ' "SRIOMEIL SLIM OLS LSS. \VERTIME GAMES COLPDILISSTIIS TS SI IIS S S$ Chapter 51 Rescue In Smoke “QMOKE!” Marion groped her way to the door, and as she pulled it open, a thick wave of blackness seemed to rol] in on them. Gasping, they both ran out into the clearing, but here it was even worse. Through the darkness the’ could see flashes of flame throug the trees to the east, ominous crashes and cracklings filled the air and the heat was suffocating. “Flicker!” Kay cried in an agon- ized tone. “I’ve got to get him!” She started to run toward the north end of the clearing, but Ma- rion grabbed her arm. “Don’t be crazy! He'll have broken loose long ago! The west side is our only chance!” She dropped Kay’s arm, and made for the precipitous west slope, then drew back with a cry of terror, as she caught sight of a tree that suddenly burst into flame like a gigantic torch. A sec- ond later, there was an answer- ing cry from down the western slope. “Ted!” Shrieking ‘the name to- ae the two girls ran to the rink of the sharp precipice that fell away from a rocky ledge, and peered into the blackness. “Marion!” They could make out Ted’s voice clearly now, and the note of bewilderment in it. “Let yourself down over the edge! I'll catch you as you slide.” Marion pushed Kay forward. “You first!” she commanded. In the weird light of the blaz- ing tree. they could see Ted, 30 feet or more below, braced against the stump of a scrub spruce. Be- fore Kay could protest. Marion had forced her to her knees, and shoved her over the edge. Sliding with utter lack of con- trol, Kay tried to break her descent by catching on to any protruding shrubs or rocks, and a second later, though it seemed an eternity, she felt Ted’s hand grasp her arm. Fora perilous moment they both swayed, and it seemed inevitable that they would crash on down to- gether, but Ted pulled Kay onto the tiny projecting ledge. where he had secured a precarious foot- hold. “Marion!” Kay gasped, pointing upward, and cutting short Ted’s amazed exclamation as he dis- covered whom he held by the arm. Ted thrust Kay behind him, steadied himself and called, “Now, Marion! Quick!” Kay clutched a projecting root with one hand and hung on to Ted with the other, to break the shock of the impact of Marion’s body, as he brought her to a sudden stop. A second later, and the three of them clung to the cliff, which was now lighted by a second tree that had caught. Sorrow For Marion “TGOLLOW me!” Ted’s voice rang out with the harshness of a military command. Swinging around a projecting rock, he led the perilous way down, the two girls silently and breathlessly following in his exact footsteps. One last drop, and they had reached the timbered slope. Ted grabbed one of their hands in each of his and raced down with them to the foot of the canyon. Without a word, he helped them across the narrow stream in its depths, and they pushed up the other side. Not until they were well up on the other ridge did he pause. Then with a broken “Thank God!” he pulled Kay into his arms. “Ted! Ted! Where is Dad?” Ma- rion demanded imperiously, and Kay pulled away with a gasp, ashamed of the overmastering emotion that had made her forget everything but her own relief and happine: “Marion! Forgive me!” Ted swung around still keeping one hand on Kay as though fearful that she might vanish, but put- ting a steadying touch on Marion's arm. “Seeing Kay here put every- hing else out of my head! Your father, Marion—” he paused help- lessly searching for words to break the new “I knew it!” Marion gave a piti- ful groan, and put her hand to her eyes. “You don’t have to tell me —he’s dead!” In an i arms were around her, and she turned inquir- ingly to Ted. He nodded. “Yes, Marion. Me e oe is the only way you can think of it.” In as few and as gentle words as possible, Ted told Marion of his finding of her father. Then, to give her time to get a grip on herself, after the first shock of sorrow, he went on to describe his meeting with Josh Hastings, and the subse- quent events. It was Kay’s turn to shudder at the thought of the narrow escape Ted had had. But she did not waste any time on the past, as her mind flew to the immediate future. “Where did you leave him?” she demanded. “We must get right back! He might die or escape or something!” “He had a mean blow on the head. but I don’t think he’ll die,” Ted answered. “And there’s no chance of his escaping! He’s well out of the. fire line, with this shift of wind, but I doubt if he knows it. By the time we get back, I reckon he’ll be ready to tell anything he knows, rather than risk being left behind.” “Come!” Marion turned and led the way up the slope. “Ted’s future is the thing to think of now! Not my poor Dad. His troubles are * over, and you're right—it is far better.” Her voice broke with a sob, but she pushed bravely on, with Ted and Kay on either side of | her. “How did Josh Hastings ever happen to be there?” she asked finally, with a jetermined change of subject. “Search me!” Ted began, but Kay interrupted. “He must have been looking for Zeke Farley and his posse,” she ex- claimed. “Shorty said he’d gone out to join them.” " “I reckon Zeke Farley's given up looking for me right now, and has joined the fire fighting gang,” Ted observed. “Josh Hastings likely came to the same conclusion, and was on his way to find him.” He stopped as the slope became steeper, and saved his breath for the climb, leading the way as they fell into single file up the rocky ledge. The sky behind them was weirdly lighted with a lurid glare which permeated the darkness, spreading out in a pinkish glow over their heads. ‘I Want The Truth’ Ti tdatoe some desperately difficult scrambling, Ted paused to take his bearings. “It must have been about here that I left that cayuse of mine. Wait a second.” He left them, and reappeared a few minutes later, leading his horse. “Now you can have easier going.” . Motioning the two girls to get on, he led the way south along the crest of the ridge. After a half hour or so, he stopped and gave a long “Whoopee!” F There was a faint answer in the distance. “He’s there all right,” Ted de- clared with relief in spite of his former confident assertion that Josh Hastings couldn’t escape them. Another 10 minutes, and they came out on the ridge where Ted had left his would-be assassin. A string of oaths and imprecations greeted them as they picked their way through the underbrush, but Ted cut him peremptorily short. “T’ve brought my witnesses,” he announced curtly, and the next minute they all came out on Josh Hastings, who peered up at the two girls with incredulous amaze- ment. “Where in hell—” “Never mind that,” Ted inter- rupted sharply. He pulled a note- book and pencil out of his pocket. “Now, then. Repeat what you said back there!” Josh Hastings’ mouth twisted. “T don’t know what you mean.” , “Oh. yes, you do!” Ted’s eyes narrowed. “And unless you come across, I'll leave you here for the cremation you missed before.” From his place on the ground, bound hand and foot, struggled up to a sitting p “So, you still want me to save your neck, and put my own in the noose!” he sneered, with one eye on Kay to measure the effect of his words. “I'd rather take a chance on the fire!” “I don’t want any lies.” Ted countered. “I want the truth about how you killed Scrap Johnson, and framed me for it. And I'm going to get it!” He made a move toward his gun. Josh Hastings gave a_ hai laugh. “Go ahead and get it, And rl to you got it (Copyright, h er prove ully dead! !

The writer hopes the fans will attend these contests |help defray the expenst K their part on the night of Sep- tember 10 with a performance for the benefit of the diamond- ball league. The community needs at least two night games a week. Sermational York Rudy York, at present, is the most talked of player in the ma- jors. He is the wondering Indian from Atco, Ga. It seemed as if tha Cherokee Indian was not fast! enough for the outfield, w: fawkward at third and certainly could not chase the great Green- berg off first. It was believed that ha was headed back for the minors. After Cochrane was bean- ed, Hayworth and Tebbetts tried to fill his shoes but failed.

Louis-Schmeling A bout hetwsen Joe Louis and Max Schmeling is the only thing the fans want now. It may be staged on October 12, according to reports. The writer believes the Lattle, if staged, will not be held until next summer. Anytime it is held it will draw a million dollar gate—just what Mike Jac- obs is droaming arout. Cates 17th In Hitting Batting averages of the Florida State Leagus, up to and including games of August 28, show that Adair of IceLand is leading with an average of .336, followed by Aleno, also of DeLand, with .325.

He has played in 133 games, been at bat 496 times, scored 44 runs. col- lected, 136 hits and batted in 57 runs. He hag knocked out one four-baggor. Trammell of Palat- ka leads in sacrifice hits with 17. Cates and Zuoanic, his teammate have 16 each. Tho leading pitch- er is Padgett of Gainesville with 24 victoriws and five defeats.
