KAY woke up with (tart, u a
ray of the early morning iun
alanted through her cabin window
and shone insistently in her eyes.
"Thank goodness the sun's out at
last!" She glanced out the window,
then snuggled down in bed again
to indulge in a few moments of
tempting day-dreams.
It was the third day since Ted
had left, and Kay planned with
happy excitement the way she
would greet him, when he arrived
with his mother and sister.
She had recovered from her hurt
feeling at the news Tom Bunyon

Somehow Kay knew he
had brought of Ted's first fight
with Scrap Johnson. Whatever
reasons he had had for not telling
her, she was going to give him the
benefit of the doubt, and wait until
he was ready to tell her.
Kay smiled drowsily to herself.
One thing she was sure of He
hadn't been thinking of any dark
haired girl when he nad said good
by to herl And somehow, she knew
that he wasn't going to waste any
time getting back to her.
During the storm that had raged
for the last two days, Kay had
busied herself getting the extra
cabin ready for Ted's mother and
sister. It had been furnished in a
rough sort of way. By picking out
odds and ends from the bunk
house, and using some of the few
things that had been saved from
the Ore, Kay had contrived to make
tt quite homelike.
Babs had ridden over once in
the downpour to report that all
was well at the Fying Six, and that
Aunt Kate and she were In no
hurry to leave their present quar
ters. A frown puckered Kay's fore
head as her thoughts shifted from
Ted to the situation at the Flying
Six. It was galling to be accepting
Josh Hastings' hospitality for
members of her family, even If she
wasn't accepting it for herself.
She hadn I seen him alone since
that visit when she had told him
of her plans, with such near-disastrous
consequences. One good
thing, at least, had come out of It
She had positive proof now that
Josh Hastings was working again',
her. The doubtful point was
whether he knew that she was
aware of his efforts to get the tim
berland away from her.
Unless Scrap Johnson had gone
back and reported what had nap.
pened, Josh Hastings would have
no way of knowing whether Kay
had known of his plot. And Kay
hod a hunch Scrap wouldn't be too
eager to describe that afternoon's
events to his boss. He'd be much
more likely to realize his useful
ness on this range was over, and
to clear out.
At least while Aunt Kate and
Babs were under his roof, it would
be best to pretend ignorance of
Josh Hastings' real attitude toward
her. Also, it would be easier to
Keep her eye on him, if she didn't
let matters come to an open break.

Ted and his family probably
wouldn't arrive before noon, any
way, but there were still a number
of finishing touches that she want
ed to put on the cabin.
Giving an involuntary skip of
sheer joy of living at the beauty
of the morning, Kay drew in a long
breath of the invigorating air.
After the two-day downpour,
everything was so fresh and glis
tening, that it must be a good
omen.
The morning flew past, and bj
noon Kay had the cabin completely
finished, and bright and shining for
its new occupants.
She had a guilty feeling that she
should have ridden over to see
Aunt Kate instead of devoting he:
whole morning to the pleasant ex
citement of getting ready for Ted
But- she eased her conscience by
the thought that she would go ovei
after the arrival of the newcomers,
so that she could tell Aunt Kate all
about them.
All during lunch, Kay had an eat
out for the pounding of hoofs, and
rattle of the livery buckboard from
Red River, but the quiet of the
mesa was undisturbed.
The afternoon wore on, and by
four o'clock Kay found hersell
nervous and irritable with disap
pointment If she watted any
longer, it would be too late to ridf
over to see Aunt Kate. She'd nevei
hear the end of it if she let all to
day go past without seeing her.
On the other hand, she'd be sure

to miss Ted if she started off now.
Artlessly persuading herself that
it would be very rude not to be
there to greet Ted's mother and
sister, and that seeing Ted hlmseli
had nothing to do with it, Kay
hung around.
When, finally, at six o'clock the
mess bell clanged, Kay reluctantly
admitted that they weren't going
to arrive today.
He'll Be Here'
AT SUPPER, she was silent and
abstracted, dwelling in hei
thoughts rather than In the con
versation going on about her. Sud
denly she was aware that Seth wai
speaking to her.
"What did you say, Seth?" She
came to with a start.
"Gosh, you must be getting
deaf!" Seth grumbled. "I've been
asking you about six times when
you expected Gnynor back. 1
thought it was today."
"It was, but something- must
have happened to delay him. I'm
sure he'll be here tomorrow."
"Here's hoping," Seth growled.
"We can't let any grass grow undci
our feet getting that barn started
I'm going to start cutting timbet
tomorrow, whether he's back oi
not"
"He'll be here," Kay predicted
confidently. She paused a moment
at the door of the shack and looked
out. "Isn't it great after the rain?"
"I'll any it is," Seth agreed. "The
equinox must have got kind ol
mixed up this year to give us that
storm so early. But I ain't kicking
none. Makes the danger of fire
that much less."
Kay nodded absent-mindedly to
this remark, then sauntered down
to the corral and whistled Flicker
to her.
Obeying a sudden Impulse, she
had him out and saddled him. She
rode up to her cabin for her
sweater, and headed out onto the
mesa. She had decided to kill two
birds with one stone, and ride the
restlessness out of her system by
going over to see Aunt Kate. Kay
started off for the Flying Six at I
brisk cam trot
It would be moonlight by 9
o'clock, she reflected, and she could
easily be back by 11. If she didn't
go now, she'd simply have to go
tomorrow, and then she'd miss be

J iimea Oglethorpe
The founding of Georgia can be di
rectly attributed to a prison visit,
made by James Edward Oglethorpe
about 1730. It was around this year
that the young member of Parlia
ment called to see a friend who was
dying In debtor's prison. Overwhelm-1
ed by the misery he viewed there he j
conceived the plan of establishing a
colony la the New World for the un
fortunate who rotted In prison for
want of money to settle up their
debts.
King George IX approved the Idea,
granted a chartei for the colony of
Georgia, and Oglethorpe followed out
his plans. In 1733 the first boatload
of debtors and their families sailed to
America accompanied by Oglethorpe
grounds and have cleared the declu
for action.

spirit of the state fair board toward

Prohibition of slavery was one of
the first laws laid down by Oglethorpe
In his colony, an unusually humane
decree lor that day and age. Yet,
strange as It seems, Oglethorpe had
previously been one of the most Im
portant figures In the slave trade aa
head of the Royal African Company,
greatest slave-trading corporation of
the timet At the height of the slave
traffic, 10,000 negroes were exported
annually.
Oglethorpe also forbade his settlers
to engage in the rume trade. This
edict was widely violated almost Im
mediately. Later the prohibition
against slavery broke down when the
