Unknomn to Kay, Ted lghtt for her good name in a bar. At they ride back to the ranch, he telit her Hattinf it "a make." Captor 10 Ted'. Plan Click "pED," Kay gazed at him with l solemn eyes, "Uncle Dan told me not to breathe this, but I'm go ing to say it just once to you, and then never again until I have proof. I believe Josh Hastings had some connection with the Are that burned down the ranch house!" "Your Uncle Dan was right in warning you not to say that, Ted answered gravely, "You may be right, but an accusation like that could react on you like a boomer ang and charge of dynamite com bined, unless you have undisputed proof." "I won't mention it again," Kay promised, "unless I have that proof. But Ted, can't you tell me what you know about him?" ' Ted shook his head. "Not yet. But he hasn't heard the last of me. If it takes years to get him where I want him." "If you could only trip him up nowl" Kay exclaimed, "fm afraid you'll get him too late to do me any good. But he's not going to have the Lazy Nine!" she came back passionately to the thought uppermost in her mind. "I'll prob ably have to sacrifice most of my stock to get enough money to re- her protest, Kay's eyes reflected the thrill that Ted's plans gave her. "They'll be mighty lucky to have a roof over their heads and food to eat," Ted observed grimly. "And it they have' any sense, they know it You can leave that to me," he went on. "I'll put it up to Seth, and he'll put it up to the outfit" , "And to think that this time yes terday. I didn't even know you!" Kay marveled. "You're making everything possible!" "This time yesterday, I didn't know myself," Ted answered gruffly, and Kay felt a sudden quickening of her pulses at the look he bent on her. "It's you who have made everything possible," he paused, and then brought out, "Miss Kay." "The boys all call me 'Kay.' You may as well get used to it" Touch ing Flicker with her heel, Kay raced ahead without waiting to see the effect of her announcement. It was enough to feel the color coming into her own cheeks, and to realize that in some magic way the whole world had taken on a new aspect. What had seemed a hopeless disaster was being turned into a most thrilling adventure, and somehow the future was full of exciting promise. The Boys Back Up Kay BEFORE lunch, Ted got Seth to one side, explained the situa-. tion about the insurance, and put his proposition up to him. There was no question of Seth's reaction to the scheme. "Hell's bells! Why didn't I think of that myself?" He grasped Ted's hand. "Sure the outnt'll stand by. You just watch "em!" Wasting no time, he strode over to the mess shack, where the men were gathered waiting for the wel come summons to "Come and get it," and explained Ted's idea. The response was unanimously enthusiastic, and by the time Kay arrived for lunch she found the whole outfit eagerly discussing plans. "It's you who have made everything possible.".. build, but I'll get a fresh start some way.'' "What good will It do to rebuild, if your stock has to go to get money to do it?" Ted reasoned. "I've got a better idea than that. If you ve Jot the right kind of outfit, und rom what I've seen of them I'm willing to bet you have, we can re build without any money." Like The First Settlers T7HAT do you mean?" Kay 'V hung breathlessly on his words. "Why, we'll do the way the first settlers did," Ted declared. "Haul in our own logs, and cut our own lumber, I'm not a bad hand at car pentering, and I'm a darned good blacksmith, if I do say so. We can make what we need in that line at the shop down by the corral, and by starting on the barn right now, we can have it ready for winter. By spring, everything will be up again." "Ted!" Kay's eyes sparkled with excitement as his enthusiasm kin dled hers. "Do you suppose we could?" A sudden thought dimmed her radiant expression. "But what will we do for feed? That's all gone with the barn!" "You've got some money laid aside for the winter, haven't you7" Ted asked. "Only just enough to pay the men and buy food, ' Kay replied despondently. "That's what I meant by the right sort of outfit," Ted answered. "We won't take any pay. We'll use the money to buy the necessary feed for the cattle and horses to carry them ovrr the winter. With what's left, we'll buy food for the outfit, and If rations get slim, we ?an follow the pioneers there, too. There's as good trnpping and hunting in the Bitter Root as there ever was." "But I couldn't ask the boys to go without their pay!" In spile of "We're all rarln" to go!" Seth railed out, as Kay came in sight. "Just you wait till you see this building and loan association get ting into action!" Sudden tears came into Kay's eyes as she faced the eager group. "I'll try to make it up to you boys someway," she said huskily. "Gosh, there's nothing to make up." Shorty, the outfit comedian, spoke up for the bunch. "Anybody with grub and a roof over hit head's in luck this winter. And any, won't we build some chateau! Oh, la, la! I'll tell the world!" Shorty, who had been overseas during the World war, never missed an opportunity to air his French. ' Kay laughed. "Never mind the chateau, Shorty. Just a plain log ranch house is good enough for me!" "By the way, Is there any good sized timber near here? Ted spoke up.- Seth scratched his head. "Most of our timber land is kind of scrubby second growth," he answered. "I hadn't thought of that." "What's the nearest big tim ber?" Ted asked. Seth looked speculatively at Kay. "I reckon that ridge of Old Man Warren's is the best there is anywheres 'round. Kay nodded, a thoughtful puck er between her eyes. "I'd better see him about rmvirn a few acres." she decided. "I'll do that the next time I go in town." "Say, we'll have the swellesl ranch house on the range." Shnrtv boasted. "I'll he the architect." A roar of derision greeted thi.' proposition and with a general hubbub of plans and sucgestiom they all piled in for food. fCpr(eAf, IS.!?.
