Ted Gaynor, who is about to set a forest fire to pet a job fire fighting. She offers him a -place in her outfit. Riding home, Kay finds her ranch house and barn lost In flames. Seth Jordan, her faithful foreman, has saved the Insurance paperj. Josh Has tings, owner of the Flying Six, invites Kay there, but she dis trust! him. Her younger sister, Babs, and pepperu old Aunt Kate U'tllinoly accept the Hastings in vitation; Kay insists on staying at her smouldering ranch to start . rebuilding. Chapter Six .New Courage For Kay "IF she won't come, she won't." I To Kay's relief, Josh Hastings broke into Aunt Kate's querulous remonstrance. "We may as well be getting under way. Perhaps Kay will deign to come and see you sometime, even if you are at the Flying Six." Kay flushed under his sarcastic tone, and she had to bite her lips and swallow hard before she could answer. It was aborfiinable to have to be under this obligation to him, but for the moment there was no way out of it. "I'll be glad to come, and thank you for your hospitality." She de liberately ignored his sarcasm as r fx 0ft VST. ' " 1 v rr- '.-."tt , V J VI "There, there, honey," Seth patted her shoulder. she hugged Babs goodby and threw a kiu to Aunt Kate. Still unconsciously clutching Stt.Vs aim, the stood proudly erect as she watched the buck board wheel around and start off in the direction of the Flying Six, accompanied by Hastings and the two Itltln girls on horseback, After a Inst wave, they dipped down out of sight, and with a broken little cry, Kay turned and buried Iwr fnco in Seth's shoulder. "There, there, honey." He sooth ingly patted her shoulder the way he used to when she had come to him with her childish woes. "You come on over and have a bite to rat, and you'll see things a heap more hopeful like." "I'm all right now." Kay braced her?eif and smiled at Seth. "Come on. Let's look at what's left." Throwing herself into the ex citement of feeding the fire crew and getting them off, Kay had no lime for thought or feelings until she found herself at dusk on the Corch of the log cabin that was to e her temporary home. She waved goodby to Seth and the boys, as they retreated uncer tainly toward the bunk house. She had Anally convinced them that she had everything she needed, and that she wanted to be alone. So they had at last reluctantly left her. The Picture Over The Bunk SUDDEN tears trembled on her lashes as she glanced in the tiny room behind her. The best cot the bunk house afforded was in one corner, with the cleanest blanket that could be found folded neatly at its foot Her father's desk and his chair were in the opposite corner, and his gun rack, with its curious col lection of guns and rifles, was fast ened on the wall. Other odds and ends that Seth had saved gave Just enough of a touch of the old spacious living room to bring catch to her throat Kay clenched her hands until the nails bit into the palms. She mustn't give way now, just be cause she was alonel Suddenly her eye caught a pic ture that had been tacked on the wall over the desk. It was an old magazine cover of a girl with hair not unlike her own, who was wav ing a gay greeting to the world In general. Kay had seen this In the bunk house over Seth's bunk, and the sight of it here, with all that it told of the clumsy, affectionate at tempt to try to brighten up her new home, broke down Kay s last shred of control. Leaning her head against the door, she abandoned herself to the tears that would no longer be suppressed. "Please don't do thatl Can't I do something for you?" . Kay started violently at the voice that broke in on her misery. Fumbling for her handkerchief, she wiped her eyes, and turned around to face Ted Gaynor. "Youl" she faltered, with a sud den rush of memory of the events of t.e early afternoon which the later catastrophe had completely obliterated from her mind. She gazed at him with a fasci nated Incredulity. Was it only a few hours since she had had that strange encounter with this man? The sudden realization that she was now living in one of the cab ins she had offered to him swept over her, and she began to laugh with a helpless, hysterical note that frightened her, though she was powerless to stop it. "Don't!" He sprang up the steps and gently guided her to a chair, then grabbed up a glass and filled it with water from a pitcher the boys Tiad left on the table. "Drink that!" Kay reached for the glass with a trembling hand, her hysterical laughter subsiding under the in fluence of his compelling voice, and his dark eyes that gazed into hers. Sympathy and concern for her had replaced the tragic misery In their depths that had so moved her before, and again she felt his strange magnetism as he smiled a slow reassuring smile. A Date For Tomorrow "rON'T worry about anything you promised me this after noon," he said finally. "What you did for me up there on the ridge has given me a new lease of life. I'm not going to be a burden on you, but if there ia any way I can help you, you have only to say what it is." "I can still make good on what I offered you," Kay answered im pulsively. "That is, if your mother and sister can get on in the other cabin like this. You can -stay In the bunk house. I'll need all the help I can get to rebuild." An involuntary sigh of relief escaped him at this decision. "You'll have all the help I can give," he promised simply. "And if you don t need the other cabin for yourself we'll be only too thankful to have It." "That's settled, then." Kay got up and went over to the desk, "j'll write a note and tell Seth about you." She drew out a piece of paper, then paused as a sudden thought struck her. "I tell you what I'd like you to do," she added. "I'm riding to town tomorrow to see about the Insurance. I think you had better come with me, so as to be out of the way in case that Runyon man comes over. Will you do that?" "I'll, do anything you say," Ted Gaynor answered, a curious Intent Iook in his eyes as he watched her scribble a hasty note. "What time do we start?" "Seven o'clock," Kay answered, handing him the note. "That will fix things up with Seth." He took the note and put It In his pocket, as he turned to go. At the top of the steps he paused ir resolutely. "You're sure you're all right?" Kay nodded. "Sure. Somehow, you've given me new courage. So now we re quits." A slow color crept Into his fact at her words. "We can never be quits on that," he said huskily. Then he abruptly turned and made for the bunk house. f Copyrlaat, ItJT, starts it Stnautl) Kit tuftm a bitter Mow. tomor row, ithrn the reaches the bsnk. SHIP TO EUROPE QUEBEC. Que. July 13.

UPPER FRONT ( PERFECT 6MF KccoRuey in HteToffY VST. 197- s 3 J.yif: iff Wantrfl for .Murder One hundred end thirty-three years ago yesterday, Alexander Hamilton fell on the "field of honor" at Wea hawken, N. J mortally wounded as the outcome of a pistol duel with Aaron Burr, vice-president of the United States. With the heath of Hamilton came the death of Aaron Burr's political career. His popularity had been on the wane before the duel. After the tragic affair. Burr became one of the most hated men In the country. A demand for his arrest was raised and tho grand Juries of New York and New Jersey drew up separate Indict ments against him for murder. Burr fled to South Carolina, a fugitive from 'Justice. Remaining nt his daughter's home there until the affair cooled off somewhat, the vlcr-prpsldent went to Washington to take up his duties. On February 14; 1803, the Impeach ment trial of Justice of the Supreme Court Samuel Chose began. Charged with malfeasance In office, Chase was tried by the U. S. senate. In ac cordance with his office as vice president. Aaron Burr conducted the trial though he himself was living under two charges of murder I Under the protection of congressional im munity, Burr could not be prosecuted until the end of his term, due to expire on March 4, 1905. Chase won an acquittal on March 1 and Burr bade farewell to his duties M-.irch 3. Burr never was brought to trial for the murder charges against him but In lBoa was tried fr treason after an alleged attempt to Invade Mexico and form an empire In which he supposedly Intended to link with the southwestern states of the union. He was acquitted on these charges, became a poverty stricken, obscure figure end died In 1836 a broken man. Perfect Game Major league records list the game pltohed by Ernest Shore against Washington, A. L., as one of base ball's "perfect games" though, strange as It asems, he faced only 36 batters. Babe Ruth started the game as pitcher and walked the first man up. Removed from the game by an um pire, he was relieved by Shore. The man who had been walked was caught trying to steal second. In the rest of the game, not hit was made by Washington, not & player reached first base, not a base on balls was given and not an error was made by Shore's team. Tomorrow!
