Kay is on her way to buy the only available timber land tchen a Hastings puncher rides up, lassoes her and ropes her securely. Chapter 13 Cat And Mouae rHE man's gaze rested on Kay's bound ankles. Stooping sud lenly, he tested the knots. He (ripped her ankles with a firm Sold for a moment, then laughed is he released them and rose. "Cut out that 'how-dare-you' stuff, Cutie," he warned. "It's my turn to set the tone of this meet ing. You've high-hatted me just once too often." His mouth twist . id, and he laughed again. 'Don you worry! I ain't going lo hurt you Just give you a little is 4 ? Despite her struggles, he carried Kay to a coulee. lesson about being too high and mighty with Scrap Johnson." Suddenly dropping to his knees beside her, he held Kay in an iron grip, his arm around her shoulder. Putting his other hand under her chin, he forced her to look at him. "No good writhing that way. Girlie." His grip tightened. "You're cute as hell when you're mad. but I'm going to give you time to cool off some. I've got something more important to do before I give you that lesson. Here's a sample, though." Bending down, he deliberately kissed her on the lips, then sorang to his feet as he released her. Every ounce of color drained from Kay's face. She bit her lip until it bled to keen from crying out "Too bad I can't stop for more right now, but I've got to get in and see Old Man warren." He laughed again as Kay started. "I don t know what it's all about, Scrap Johnson, went on, enjoying the consternation that shone in Kay's eye.'s "but Josh Hastings come rarin' down to the corral, and ordered me to keep you irom getting to Old Man ADDED OFFICE SPACE ROUSES MARTIN'S IRE BALEM.

Kay felt her heart turn sick. For the moment she forgot her own Eredicament in the fear that all er dreams for the ranch were doomed. And through her own stupidity! She must do something Delore it was too latei She saw in a flash that her only hoDe lay in using this man as a tool, and keeping him from carry ing out Hastings orders. under an ner rage ana august at the indignity that had been put upon her, Kay was firmly con vinced Scrap Johnson wouldn't dare do her any actual harm. He knew that his life wouldn't be worth a nickel if he did. He was taking cruel enjoyment In playing with her as a cat plays with a mouse. And he was prob ably banking on her pride to keep her from telling. Instead of flout ing him as sue had, she must at more cleverl Kay Attempts Wile "ITS not very complimentary to have you leave me lor an 'oDtion.' whatever that is." Kay forced herself to a half smile, as she gazed up at him with inno cently round eyes. A flush spread over Scrap John son's sallow face and his jaw dropped as though he couldn't be lieve his eyes or his ears. He looked comically uncertain. "Whats the Idea or stringing me?" "I'm not stringing you." She glanced significantly at her ankles and wrists. "You're the one who's stringing me! Doesn't it strike you that you might get on better with out these caveman methods?" "That so? Well, we'll put It to a test Suppose you give me a kiss?" No effort of will could keep Kay from recoiling with an involun tary shudder of disgust, as he leaned over her. "Ha Trying the Del lah stuff. eh?" He straightened up with a sneering laugh, "Well, well talk that over later!" He looked about. "Kind of bad place to leave you." btoopmg, he picked Kay up bodily and, in spite of her strug gles, carried her about 50 yards to the lea of a coulee that dipped down in the mesa. Without a word, he dumped her there and started back for his horse. Then, as an after-thought, he came back, pulled Kay's bandanna from her neck and bound it tightly about her mouth. "Don't be lonesome, Cutie, J'll be back before long," he called mockingly over his shoulder as he mounted and rode off. The Boys Chip In . TED GAYNOR paused as he was saddling his horse to start the long ride to his home, to arrange for moving his mother and sister to their new quarters. He glanced down toward Kay's log cabin. On impulse he left his horse and went down to it He knocked and received no response. Finding the door locked, he made for the bunk house on the run. As he sprang up the steps, he nearly collided with Seth. "Hullo!" Seth exclaimed In sur prise. "I thought you were on your way long ago!" "Something's got me worried," Ted explained. "I tried to find Kay, but she's off somewhere." "I saw her start out on Flicker about a half hour ago. What's on your mind?" "I don't think she ought to let any grass grow under her feet be fore nailing that option," Ted de clared. "As far as I can see, that's the only available timber there Is, and we ought to make sure there's no slip up." "Hell's bells, there can't be any slip up. Why Old Man Warren'l) be tickled pink to get rid of it." "Just the same, I d be a lot easier to know that it was all sewed up." Ted looked from Seth to two of the boys who had come up. "Have any of you fellows got any cash?" "Sure," Seth answered. "Why?" "Because if we can scrape up 525, I'll go in and make a first payment on the option in Kay's name, so there can't be any chance of her losing it." "I can't see as there's all that rush about it," Seth observed. "Still and all, there's no harm In getting that out of the way. It would be kind of a nice surprise for Kay to find it all attended to." He pulled out a roll of bills and counted $17. "How about chipping In?" He cocked an eye at the other two, who readily complied. "Go to it son, if you've got a hunch that way." Seth handed Ted the money. "Bring that option back and we'll give It to Kay this evening." "I'll do that," Ted promised, put ting the wad of bills and silver dollars in his pocket, "I'll start off for home after supper." fCopiiHcM, jt.
