Pat Oft EARLY RISING By GLUYAS WILLIAMS W3 BC&S18B UB 8JSffimD J STtiOPSIS: Just u Tei Ca nor is desperately about to set a orert jlr to act a job, Kau Crandon top him, tike hit looks, pipes him a place at the Lazy Nine. When her ranch house and bam burn. Josh Hastings, who wants to buy the Lazy Nine and marry Kay, invites her to the Flying Six. She reuses, dbtrutt ing him, but youna sister Babs and Aunt Kate go. Ted telle Kay Hastings is "a snake." The injur- -ance money, which Kay planned to use tor rebuilding, has to go on the mortgage. It's a blow, but Kay recover! when Ted stirs the out- . fit to cut its oum lumber and re- - build without pay. Chapter 11 , , Kay Talks Too Freely KAY held Ted back as the otheii entered the mess shack. ' " "I brought you this," she said, suddenly shy at the look in his eyes, as he gazed inquiringly at i her. She unbuckled a cartridge studded belt with a swinging gun, and handed It to him. "You said you'd sold yours," she, explained simply. ' mis was one ot Dad's. I'd like to have you have it." " A huskiness came into- Ted's throat as he tried to thank her, but she hurried in without waiting (or Him to voice his feelings. By the time Kay got back to her cabin, the bitter blow of the morn ing seemed nothing more than a joke. It would be a great relief to ' have the $10,000 insurance money paid off on the mortgage, and she'd nave her house ana barn into the bargain. A sudden impulse decided her to go over and tell Aunt Kate and Babs about it, and she turned down to the corral to get Flicker. "Won't Josh Hastings be mad, Flicks?" she gloated, with a tri umphant laugh. "If he did have anything to do with the Are, he's had his trouble for nothing. Planning how she could arrange to get Aunt Kate and Babs home as soon as possible so as not to be under any greater obligation than she could help to Josh Hastings, Kay decided to get the boys to throw up an addition to her cabin the first thing so that they could all fit into it, while the building was going on. . Ted Gaynor had gone off right after lunch, and was planning to bring; his mother and sister back within two or three days. "It'll be no end of fun, Flicks," she murmured, - with sparkling eyes and a heightened color as her mind dwelt on Ted Gaynor. "We'll all be regular pioneers, and live Just as they did in the early days." Her mind full of schemes and plans for the future, Kay covered the 10 miles to the Flying Six in what seemed no time at all, and came trotting up to the ranch house to find Aunt Kate dozing on the porch in the sunshine. 'There's A Fine Man!' "UELLO there!" -' ' 1 A Aunt Kate awoke with start at Kav's call. "Well, it's about time you were coming over to see how I was get- iing on, sne grumDiea, out the affectionate welcome in her eyes belied her querulous greeting. Lome up nere ana give, an ac , count of yourself." Kay dismounted and ran up the steps, looking about with an in vestigating eye to see If there were any signs of Josh Hastings. She was torn between the hope of get ting away without seeing him, and the mischievous desire to flaunt ner new plan before him. ' "I suppose Babs isn't home from school yet," Kay observed, as she kissed her aunt. "I was so upset last night that I'm afraid I didn't give you a very cordial welcome," she added apologetically. "Made me feel about as welcome as a pole cat!" Aunt Kate was never one to mince words. "But I don't hold It up against you, con siderin' the circumstances. Luckily Josh Hastings did the welcomin' for you. There's a fine man for you!" She shot Kay a quick shrewd look out of her bright black eyes. "It was good of him to step into the breach the way he did, Kay answered evasively. "Is he back from town yet?" "How'd you know he went to town?" Before Kay had a chance to an awer, a deep bass "Hello!" sound ed from the direction of the corral, and the next minute Josh Hastings rounded the corner of the porcli. "Hello, there!" There was noth ing in his greeting to indicate whether he had overheard Kay's tirade against him. He came up on the porch and held out his hand, which Kay was reluctantly forced to take. "You were sure in a hurry the last time I saw you." he added. "Had some bad news?" "It seemed like mighty bad news then," Kay answered, "but now I see it in a different light. It's opened ; p all sorts of possibili ties." "Sensible girl," he commented. "So you've come over about the offer I made? Well. I'm standing right behind it." "Oh, no," Kay answered sweet ly. "I've no more intention of sell ing than I ever had. I just came over to see Aunt Kate." There was a moment's pause. As Kay glanced innocently up at him, she could see the natural flush in his face deepen. That was the only evidence of surprise he gave, but his blue eyes narrowed. "No intention of selling, eh?" he echoed. "Just how are you plan ning to rebuild, without your in surance?" "The same way the pioneers did," Kay answered easily, thor oughly enjoying herself. "There're plenty of trees to get lumber from, and we've plenty of labor to do the Job." "who put that scheme In your head?" he demanded brusquely, cutting short Aunt Kate's excla mation of surprise. "I never heard anything so crazy!" A shade of doubt crept into Aunt Kate's look of interest at this sweeping disapproval of Kay's plans. "I hope It isn't crazv." Kav an swered, with exasperating calm ness. "None of us think it is. But anyway we're going to try it." ' The whole idea's as wild as a locoed coyote!" He turned to Aunt Kate. "Can't vou stoD Kav from throwing away what little money she has on such a crazy plan?" rtuni jvate toortea irom one to the other, her eves sauinted in her wrinkled face. "I don't quite make out what it's all about." it boils down to this." Jnh Hastings broke in impatiently without giving Kay a chance to answer. "The insurance money has to go toward paying off the mort gage, so Kay has nothing to re build with. I've made her a gener ous casn oner to tans tne whole ranch off her hands, so th.it h'il have a neat little nest egg to live on instead of ruining herself and losing the ranch into the bargain. And here she comes across with a wild-cat scheme to rebuild with out any money." "That does seem kind of foolish," Aunt Ka.te agreed. "You'd better not be so hasty, Kay." 'Plenty Of Treea, Eh?' "THERE'S really nothing to dis- cuss," Kay tried to keep her temper at this unfair attempt of Josh Hastings to win Aunt Kate over to his side. "It's all decided. The first thing I'm going to do is to build an addition to the cabin, so you and Babs can come home." She turned to Aunt Kate, who looked none too pleased. "Don't you agree to any such thing, Miss Crandon." Hastines swung abruptly from Kay to Aunt j.aie. "xou stay right here until Kay comes to her. senses." He paused, and stared reflectively into the distance. "Plenty of trees, are there?" he murmured half to him self, fixing Kay with his cold blue stare. "Just where are all these trees of yours?" Kay was aware of a sudden gone feeling in the pit ot her stomach. What a fool she'd been to talk so much until she'd made sure of those tew acres of timber on Old Man Warren's ridge! Trying hard to make her voice casual, she sougnt to undo her indiscretion. "There's a lot of timber back of our norm range," she answered vaguely, adding with spirited sar casm in the hope of diverting his mind from its present train of thought, "We haven't begun to cut yet, naturally!" "Some haul you'll have from the norm range,' Hastings observed with satisfaction. "And I can't seem to remember much big tim ber up that direction anyway." He gave a shrewd chuckle and added tolerantly, "Well, I reckon you'll have to make a try at it, before you'll be satisfied." Kay's premonition of trouble, in stead of being dispelled by this change of attitude was greatly strengthened. There wasn't a min ute to waste! She must get in to Old Man Warren at once and get an option on that landl Even though she hadn't mentioned her intention to buy that up, Josh Hastings could easily reason It mil for himself that that was the only available timberland for her to get. She slipped down from the porch rail, where she had been perched beside Aunt Kate. "I'm afraid I can't wait for Babs to get home from school." It was all she could do to keen her voir rnlm and unhurried. 'I promised I'd be ngni dbcjc. "Got to get started cutting down that timber?" It was Josh Has tings turn to be sarcastic. 'Not quite vet." Kav' effnrl an easy laugh wasn't any too suc cessful, as she bent Aunt Kate. "There's no such ter rible rush." She hoped he couldn't hear the pounding of her heart which drummed in her own ears. She must Bet awav nnw. af nnro and get hold of Old Man Warren before it occurred to Hastings to try to block her! Wait a minute." Josh Htlnr put a detaining hand on her arm. (CopvrioM. I37.
