"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.

Nlchola Murray Butler did not even
apeur on the ballots of the voters
who went to the polls on November
6, 1912. to vote for a president and
vice-president yet when the electo
ral college met the following January,
eight electoral votes were cast for
Butler as the Republican candidate
for vlce-prealdent. The odd mixup
came about as follows:
Jamca B. Sherman was nominated
Republican candidate for the vice
presidency In conjunction with the
candidacy of Toft for re-election as
president. The Republican ticket was
overwhelmingly defeated In the pop

While the Republican defeat was
not the least In doubt, it remained
for the electoral college to cast Its
vote before the results would become
official. With Sherman dead, the Re
llcan party needed a substitute can
didate to be officially defeated. But
ler, a renowned New England educa

and given eight votes by the electoral
college. Thus a candidate for the
