"It'll be some time before he comes to." In spite of his effort to steady It, his voice showed the ef fect of the emotional and physical ordeal he had just been through. "The sooner we get off, the better. Unless I miss my guess, he'll va moose from this range without too much boasting about this after noon's doings. ' He slipped the gun in his holster, and stepped over to Scrap John son's horse, that had been patient ly waiting at some distance from the fray, his reins over his neck. Picking up the reins, Ted hung them over the pommel of the sad dle. Then he gave the horse a sharp blow on the flank, sending him off across the mesa. "That bird can walk. It will do Ted stood there panting a moment. him good and work out his stiff ness, he observed grimly, glanc ing at the unconscious figure on the ground as he came back to Kay. "How about our getting under way?" "Ted, wait!" Kay's eyes were enormous with the force of an idea that she was struggling with. "That man has the option on our timber land, right there In his pocketl" Ted stared at her In bewilder ment Was her mind giving under the strain? "No, he hasn't, Kay," he soothed, as he led his horse over to her. "I'll tell you about that on the way home." "But he has!" Kay declared pas sionately, gazing with fascinated horror at the inert figure stretched on the mesa. "Ho got it by trickery, and if you won't take it away from him, I'm going tol" 'Wait a minutel" Ted seized both her hands in one of his, as he fumbled with the other for a pa per in his pocket. "No need for you to - rifle his pockets," he added, flourishing It triumphantly before her. ' With amazement, Kay ran her yes over the memorandum of Ted's transaction with Old Man Warren with the prospector's name signed at the bottom. "Ted! You mean you beat him to It?" Her eyes sparkled with ex citement, and the color flooded her rheeka at this further evidence of Ted's thought for her. Silent Communion IN a few words, he told her about Seth and the boys chipping in to raise enough to bind the purchase, and about his visit to Old Man Warren. "I don't know anything about beating this guy to it," he added, feasting his eyes on her happy ex citement as she folded the precious paper and put it in her pocket ''You'll have to tell me that part of Itl Come on!"

Mounting, he reached down hit hand and she sprang lightly up be fore him, her own heightened color attesting to the fact that his emo tion had communicated itself to lier. ' For a long time they rode In si lence across the mesa that was be I "inning to take on the intenser 1 colors and lengthened shadows of late alternoon. Kay leaned confidingly against Ted, and his arm involuntarily tightened around her. Somehow there seemed to be no need foi words, and sweet as the gay com panionship of the morning's ride had been, this silent communion meant infinitely more. The sunset colors were flooding the sky as they neared the ranch house gate. Abruptly Ted reined In. "I'd like to say goodby to you here. I must be on my way." He hardly recognized his low husky voice. A wild longing to kit: Kay before he released her swept over him, but even as he struggled with it, Kay slipped from his arm and sprang lightly to the ground. "When will you be back?" Kay'i voice was as low and vibrant with suppressed feeling as his. "Three days at the most," he an jwcred. For a long moment he gazed at her. He started to say something, then changed his mind and picked up the reins. "Goodby." He wheeled abruptly, and Kay watched him ride Into the sunset. A strange premonition sud denly tightened her throat Would he really be back in three days? Already, their whole tense and dramatic encounter seemed like t dream. Turning swiftly, she walked past the charred ruins of the ranch house and down to her cabin, skirt- Ing the bunk house in a desire to be alone for a few minutes, before ac counting for her absence to the boys. , Ready To Investigate ABSORBED In her thoughts, Kay walked with her eyes absent mindedly fixed on the browning bunch grass at her feet. "Hullo! There you are!'.' A hearty voice startled her out of her reverie, and glancing up, she saw the tall figure of a man wait ing for her on the cabin steps. Reluctantly relinquishing her desire for solitude, she hurried forward, and recognized Tom Run yon as the waiting figure. "Say! I couldn't wait any longer to come over and tell you how bad I feel about all this! Ho waved toward the ruins of the ranch house as he came down the steps to meet her. His eyes, as they rest ed on her brilliant coloring, and the flush still in her cheeks from the ride with Ted. expressed the same admiration they had on the ridge. "I had to stick around up yonder until I was relieved," he explained, "or I'd have been over sooner." "That's very good of you." Kay slipped her hand out of his grasp. "I certainly didn't think, when talked to you last, that I'd find my own house burnt down!" "I kind of thought I might bt some help," Tom Runyon boomed pompously. "I've been talking with that foreman of yours up at the bunk house, and it looks mighty peculiar to me how this fire start ed." Kay shot him a startled look. "You mean you think" "I'm not thinking anything," he hastened to say, with a cautloui lowering of his voice. "I'm only saying that this and any other firs will bear investigating. fCovvrtglit, Jisr.
