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.

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."

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.

-, "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

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. '' '

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. ... .... , . . .
