Kay Crandon of' (era him a place at the Lazy Nine; she . believes be Is decent. She rides home x'to find ber ranch bouse, and barn lost -in flames. Josh Hastings, owner of the Plying SIX. who wants to buy the Lazy ' Nine and marry Kay. Invites her there'. but she distrust rftm. However, ber young sister, Bab's, and peppery Aunt Kate gladly visit Hastings. Ted. Joins ..Kay's outfit and rides to town with Kay and the insurance papers. Dan Steele, the banker, dashes her hopes . of .rebuilding the.' Insurance money . has to go' toward the mortgage. Chapter Eight .' " '.' FRIEND OR FOE? . '"Even if tills fire hadn't happened; you were sailing very close to the wind" said Dan Steele. ' "Yes, and what made this fire hap pen?" Kay filing out darkly.. :"How far Is Josh Hastings ready-to go to get my ranch?": -.. ; "Kay, I'm amazed at you I Dp you realize what you are Implying?" Dan ' Steele gazed sternly into the rebel . 'lious .brown eyes, "Don't say that - again' I don't like to see you receive ' a friendly offer in such a spirit.' Friendly offerl" Kay scoffed. "If he's so friendly why doesn't he lend me -the five thousand to rebuild?" - "I suggested that to him, but he feels' that for your own good you . should face the fact now that the ranch is too milch for you to carry, t and give up the Idea once and for all. You can't afford to antagonize good friend, Kay.: He's doing you a mighty friendly turn right now, in offering his hospitality- to you all. - - - " Yes, he's got me in a trap and he knows it." Kay sprang to her feet and faced Dan Steele with reckless aban . don. ."But I'll get out of it somehow. You mean to be a real friend, I-j know," she caught her lip to choke back a sob, "but how can you. be .a , banker when you can't see through ..this man? Why can he pull the wool over everyone s eyes but mine?' She turned away and fumbled with the door-nob in a wild desire to es cape before she broke down. Pullrhg the door open, she gave a little cry and recoiled a step. On the threshold, smiling and urbane, stood Josh Hast- - togs. . .. How long had he been there? How -much had he heard? Dimly- con scious of Dan Steele's surprised and apologetic greeting. Kay pushed past the newcomer and ran out of the : bank.- - ' "Well, well. Kay seems to be in .- kind of a rush." Josh Hastings gave -no. sign of having heard any of the conversation,- but Dan Steele eyed him uneasily. He had never had' much more than a passing acquaint ance with Hastings, and as he looked - now into his imperturbable eyes that : resembled discs of bright blue china " in his florid face, he wondered if ' possibly Kay was right in her estl- mate of this man. He certainly hoped . that none of Kay's wild talk had " been overheard. "Rrlrnn th nnnr Ittrf tnnlr It Vlnrf . of hard about the Insurance," Hast .' lngs went on, and Dan Steele felt his vague suspicions dispelled by the genial sympathy of his tone. ' "She did, poor child," he answered '; with extra heartiness to make up for ' his momentary unfriendly thought toward his visitor. After all, he must ;' not allow himself to be influenced ' by a hysterical girl, who, in spite of ' her good sense, Kay obviously was at -the moment. "She'd counted on hav ing that money to rebuild." "She didn't take any too kindly to my suggestion, I gather?"'Has(- Inga surmised shrewdly. ': Dan Steele shot him a quick look .'and he added: "From the way she .streaked past, me I reckoned I wasn't rating very high with her right then. Poor kid I" His tolerant laugh again allayed Dan Steele's fears that he might have heard Kay's wild accusa tion. r . ' . ..- -. -. -- '"Shell, probably come- around. when she gets over the shock and has tune to think about- it," Dan . Steele said, "I told her your offer was - a fplr nne and advised her to take it. Seeing how terribly, she - :leela." though," ht went, on, hail ruminat- ret: . Cf I tt Fli-M irWKWt. lM WM ; lIT j Q.r rw -tUi wwr..-. . ; -.:.. - ; 1 ;.;' .; ;.; ..; ... SSSBWSitf ing to himself, "I'm almost inclined to stretch a point and lend her a few thousand to rebuild myself." "You'd be' doing her anything but a kindness," Hastings argued eanw' estly. "It's far better for her to face' the situation now, and take this chance to get out. This fire will really prove a blessing In "disguise, in the end' ' :;". -' . ' ; .. ..' "Something in what you say," Dan Steele answered thoughtfully. "Still, the interest on five thousand isn't any too much to live on. And some day the ranch. wiU be worth, a. whole lot more than. that "' i j' -.- "'Sure it will..if it's properly han dled," Hastings agreed. "But with a girl struggling against all the odds, she'll have to meet, it's a hundred to: one she'll lose the whole thing; 'without salvaging even a. nest egg of. five ;'trtbua'nd.'.V ,'..;'. ,;.-.';','' ;:"'- '. ' -, "Reckon you're right," J)an' Steele sighed. "Raising false .hopes isn't any kindness, , that's sure.'' . "As to Kay's future, with ;her hair and eyes she's got no call to worry about that." Hastings gave a sudden laugh.: "I'd be willing to insure that, myself,- if worst. came to. worst! 'And she might do worse, at that," he end ed Jocularly. ' - v . "You mean. Dan Steele looked up in surprise, and gave a -knowing whistle. "So that's the way the wind blows I . "Why not?" Haslngs defended. "I am only 37. -That way, .-she. can have the ranch with me' thrown ln.t;But CAWING A WARNING By Mary Graham Bonner . -"Sometimes," said Willy . NUly, "it is a good idea to have a serious talk, and there- is nothing -more im portant than ; being. - serious and careful .'about - crossing, -streets walking along roads or coming out of paths and side-roads onto mairr- ones, one watching closely to sec that nothing In. the way.of an auto mobile is approaching'.: ' '' :.. : "it is also well riofc'onfy '"tor all our boy and girl friends to be care ful, but for those 'who are driving cars to remember that' it is danger- ous to go at such speeds that they cannot stop in case a pet dog another pet, or anyone might ap pear suddenly. It Is all very -well - to get to places quickly, but it Is even better to get there without injuring any one. So I have this request to make of you, Christopher. - ". I think if you caw carefully. people may have an understanding that you are giving them a warn ing. Of course you cannot be un derstood by them as you are un derstood by me. . But let me hear you caw 'be-care-ful, Watch-tor-- lights,' now.' So Christopher cawed:. 'IBe.-care- ful. Watch-for-lights." And then added another caw-caw-caw speech which Willy NiHy suggested. It was: "Don't-rush-so. .- , And now Christopher- started on his flight. He flew and he flew and he flew and all the tune h. cawed: "Be-care-ful.-. Watch - for lights. Don t-rush-so. Maybe you have -heard -a- -crow Over .vonr Dart -of the countrr late ly, "whose caw-caw sounded-different' from that, of an average : erjiw. Well. It waa Christooher with 'his' request from Willy NUly. ' If you listen careiuiiy. i wiieve you -win be able, to understand. '' ' Monday "Keesini Badges" I Carl Anderson I didn't mean to get off on that track." He frowned at his momen. -ta.ry. lndiscretion;'."Forget I said it, will you?' The time "isn't ripe for that yet. I just wanted you to realize that I've got Kay's real interest at heart. -"I do realise it," Dan Steele said hek'rtily, and you've convinced me I'd be making a mistake to lend the money.' .'., ."JChen, you'll keep on persuading her .to accept my offer, will you? Though I don't see how she can help herself. There.- isn't any one -.else. around here right now who has five thousand that I know of." "You've' said it,!'-the banker agreed. "I ll do my best. '."Say," Hastings paused as he reached the door, "who was that guy that came in with Kay? The lei: low who was 'waitlng for her out side?" - , - - - , I dont know," Steele answered. "I didn't see: him. One of her punchers, I reckon." Hastings shook his head. "Not un less it's a new one, and I doubt' if he's engaging any new punchers right now. He looked like a bird I had a run-in -wltAi a -few yearft'ago. Only he's grown1-'' lot thinner, if it is the same one." His jaw set in an: ugly line; . :" "Sorrv I can't helo -vou out." Dan Steele accompanied him to the door. "Emt-i'll do my best in that other matter. I'll go out to the Lazy Nine in a day or so." "Stop over and see us when -you do," Hastings argued. "It mightn't be a bad Idea -to drop a word or two in Aunt Kate's ear. She's a sketch I" He gave a sudden -guffaw and winked at the banker. "I'm getting- her on my side, all right! .It was a lucky break having her. show up when she did." You're being mighty generous and hospitable," Dan Steele said warmly. Hastings ' gave a . magnanimous wave of his . hand. "Olad to -do It," he boomed, heartily. "If you think of any other way I can help out, let me Know." Dan Steele stood In the door and watched him stride over to his horse and mount. "Kay's ail wrong about that fe! low," he soliloquized. "He's got her real interest at heart. I'm glad I didn't act like a sentimental fool and commit myself to lending her that money. It would be the same as throwing it away." : He .turned back into the bank as Hastings headed off -toward - the mesa, a shrewd smile of satisfaction on his face,. .- As Ted sat waiting, with Flicker's reins tossed carelessly over the pom. mcl of his own saddle, he noticed two punchers who met in front of the bank and stopped to chat. Not really listening to their con versation, Ted nevertheless couldn't help: overhearing It. But he paid no attention his mind was -busy with thoughts of' Kay, And the miraculous change she had made in him from yesterday's low ebb of desiuir. - Suddenly , he became aware that one of the men had mentioned Kay's name, and that the two of them were' indulging In that nartlnilar brand of guffaw .that in dicates the appreciation of some more or less ribald Joke. Galvanized to instant attention, Ted keenly watched the two. as-they sauntered past him and made for a large red and black sign announcing that Mike Kelly welcomed the world to his "Punchef's Faradise." "Sure, my. .boss says she's up against It. Reckon she won't be so proud, and haughty at the next dance." .-.- . The puncher who was announcing this news with such gloating satis faction, suddenly leaned close to bis companion's ear and whispered, a leering smile twisting his mouth. The next' minute thev had nasard fay ,Ted and were pushing in the swinging doors of the ."Puncher's- Paradise. There was no mistaking either the (expression or the quality of the guffaw with which the other puncher received the whispered com munication. . .: With narrowed eyes and his mouth set in a grim, line, Ted dismounted, slipped the two horses' reins over a hJtching post and strode after the pair. ... .... , . . .
