SYNOFS1S: Kay Crandon of
the Lazy Nine ho lu a desperate
young man. 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

"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.

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.
