SYNOPSIS: Kay Crandm of the Lazy Nine surprises a des perate young man about to set a forest fire. Ted Gaynor convinces her he it no firebug and that this U hit first attempt an aim to get a fire fighting Job and buy food for hit mother and titter. Kay offert him a place in her outfit, Tom Runyon, the fire patrol, rido up, and Kay hat to use her Witt to thield Ted from Runyon't suspicion. Riding home a ions, Kay sees smoke, and races on to discover her ranch houte and barn hopelessly lost to the tames. Seth Jordan, her faithful fore man, has saved the desk with the insurance papert. Chapter Five Come To The Flying Six HOW Kay lived through the next few hours she never quite knew. After the arrival of the truck, everything seemed to happen all at once. Babs came home, accompanied by Josh Has tings, owner of the Flying Six, and his daughter Ruth, Babs' chum and inseparable companion. As she was soothing Babs, whose 10-year-old courage was temporarily eclipsed by the enor mity of this disaster, Kay sudden ly looked up to And Josh Hastings' eyes fixed on her with a peculiar, enigmatic stare. He quickly avert ed his gaze. ' When Babs was Anally calmed down, and had gone off with Ruth to inspect the charred ruins from a safe distance, Josh Hastings took Kay's hand in his possessively. "It's a burning shame for you to have this happen, Kay." In spite of the emotional strain phe was under, Kay was quick to detect the note of hypocrisy in his tone. She looked up at the florid face and china blue eyes of her nearest neighbor, and it seemed as though his real thoughts were written all over him. A small whirlwind was giving her an impulsive hug. "Please say 'yes,' Sis.1" He wasn't sorry this had hap pened! He was glad, because he hoped that now Kay would be forced to do what he had been urging ever since her father died. From the first, he had been deter mined that Kay should sell out to him, and he had lost no opportu nity to discourage her and drive home his point Kay's eyes narrowed as she drew her hand away. "It's bad. of course. But I'm In i sured, so I can build again and carry on." To her surprise, a gleam of tri umph flashed in his eyes. He start ed to say something, then didn't. "I expected you to say that." He smiled tolerantly. "It's foolish, but this is no time to talk business, -ou must come and stay with us until you decide what to do." "Thank you, but I'd better stay here. I think." Kay tried to soften her refusal with a smile, but an ugly look flashed in Hastings' eyes at her answer. It passed so quick ly, that Kay couldn't be really aure that she had rightlv Inter preted his expression. When he spoke again, he used the same note of patronizing tolerance. 'Just as you say. But I don't see exactly how you're going to man age." He glanced significantly at the smouldering ruins. "At least, Jet Babs come back with us for a few weeks. That would suit Ruth and me down to the ground " Babs Does Some Coaxing t'AY hesitated. She hated accept- Ing favors from him, but it would certainly be a lot easier to have Babs away just now. Babs' friendship with Ruth put it on a alightly different basis, and yet That's awfully good of you," ahe temporized, "but " "What's good of him, Sis?"

Please say yes,' Sis! Please!1' Ruth's voice joined In the plead ing, and Kay looked doubtfully from one eager face to the other, as she tried to decide. "Please, Sis!" Babs repeated, pushing back her blonde curls and winking at Ruth to egg her on to join in the coaxing. "Where could we stay, anyway? ' "I'm going to stay In one of the cabins,' Kay answered, with sud den decision. "But if Mr. Hastings and Ruth would really like to have you, you can go back with them for a little visit." "Whoopee!" Babs and Ruth both broke into a triumphant shout, then Babs' eyes suddenly clouded. "But Sis, wouldn't you rather have me with you? I wish you'd come, too!" "Perhaps she will, yet." Josh Hastings' tone seemed to imply something. "I'm afraid I'll be too busy," Kay answered. "I'm going to start re-, building at once?' The smug skeptical smile Kay had noticed before passed over Josh Hastings' mouth. "I'll be going in to Red River tomorrow, to see about the insur ance," Kay went on, bravely ig noring his implied doubt of her program, "ana " she broke off short, and pointed down the road. "What's that coming?" The others followed her gaze. Aunt Kate Rolls In "T OOKS like Jennings' liverj L' team." Josh Hastings scruti nized the oncoming buckboard, en veloped in a cloud of dust. "But who could it be?" Even ai she voiced the question, a dread suspicion flashed into Kay's mind, and she started to run down the road. This would be the last straw, if she was right, she thought, as she topped a rise and scanned the ap proaching vehicle. She saw thai her worst fear was realized. ? 1 By the time the buckboard cams up, the others had joined her, and Aunt Kate was waving them a smiling greeting. "I felt so much belter, I flggered I'd come on and surprise you," she called cheerily. Another moment, and the buckboard topped the rise, opening up a full view of the smouldering ruins. With a sinking heart, Kay tried to answer Aunt Kate's flood of horrified questions. What could she do now? This last complica tion was just one too many! As though answering her thought, Josh Hastings stepped forward, and smilingly extended his invitation to Aunt Kate. Kay felt as though a trap from which there was no escape was closing around her, as she listened to Aunt Kate'a voluble thanks and acceptance. "That's mighty neighborly of you, Josh Hastings," she quavered, "and we'll all be right glad to come." "I'm not coming, Aunt Kate, but it will be fine for you and Babs to go." Kay steeled herself to meet her aunt's piercing black eyes with firm determination. For all the old lady's 77 years, she had a strong will of her own. "Tut, tutl Of course you're com ing," she snapped. "What'll you do here, with a parcel of men, and no place to sleep?" "I'm going to fix Up one of the cabins." Kay gratefully turned to Seth who came up just then to join them, and put a hand on hi arm to steady herself. "The bunk house and the boys' mess shack art all right," she went on. "I'll eat with them until I get mv own housekeeping going. So there's nothing to worry about." (CopvrijM.

No ruler on earth enjoys so unani mous a love or reverence from hts people as does Hlrohlto. Regarded more as a god than a human being, he Is so sacred to the Japanese that his likeness Is never engraved on stamps or coins. Otherwise Jils fea tures would be subjected to sacrile gious handling and wear. When the emperor passes through the streets all window blinds must be drawn. Looking down from a win dow at him Is taboo for it would be gross desecration for a subject to look down on his ruler from an elevation.
