Kidnaped!
A CONTUSED hubbub broke
out In the court room, and
through it, Tom Runyon and Josh
Hasting both tried to force their
way to Kay's side.
The sheriff's pounding ftst
proved futile to stem tne uproar.
Pulling out his gun, he sent a shot
shattering trirougn a winaow.
"Silencel" he yelled.
In the stupefied moment that
followed, Josh Hastings called
out, "Don't listen to herl She's
been suffering with concussion of
the brain, and she s not right yet.
She doesn't know what she's talk
ing about
"I do know what I'm talking
about," Kay declared, "and I've
brought my proof."
"You're crazy," Sam Cutter
broke in. "Scrap Johnson was
murdered a half a mile this side
of the line. The monument's right
there by the trail, on the way up
to the summit.
"I know it is." Kay brought out
a pamphlet, ana hem it impres
sively aloft. "But what you evi
dently don t Know is that the sura
mit where bcrap Johnson was
murdered is a migrating divide.
Wait! I'll read it to you from the
latest TJ. S. geological survey."
In the stunned silence that fol
lowed, Kay read in a clear voice:
" The summit Is known as a re
treating or migrating divide. Wa
ters tributary to the Bitter Root
river in Montana are capturing by
evasion those of the Clear Water
river in Idaho, so that the divide
Is slowly being shifted westward,
adding to the territory of Mon
tana, and diminishing that of
Idaho. The existing divide is six
to eight miles from the irregular
line representing the original di
vide.' "
Kay looked up at Sam Cutter's
baffled and astonished face. "That
monument you spoke of marks the
original divide. Actually, it is six
to eight miles on the Montana
side, and as Scrap Johnson was
murdered only half a mile west of
it, there's no question but that the
killing took place in Montana."
"Let me see that bookl" Sam
Cutter demanded hoarsely, as a
flood of excited comment broke
out, everybody talking at once.
The only quiet person in the
eourtroom was Ted Gaynor, who
aat, momentarily stunned at the
unexpected turn of events. Relief
at the delay and change of venue
at the trial mingled with amaze
ment that it was due to Kay.
Ted reproached himself for his
aloofness that morning. She evi
dently wanted to atone for her be
trayal of him, and while he could
never forget that treacherous act,
he at least should have seen her.
A sudden tense silence in the
room brought Ted's eye back to
Sam Cutter's face. Everyone was
watching him as he read the pam
phlet Kay had quoted from. With
en abrupt movement, Sam Cutter
threw the booklet on the table
and crashed his fist down.
'This trial Is adjourned," he an
nounced in acid tones. He glanced
over to where Zeke Farley was
seated, gazing at him in stupefac
tion. "I'll turn the prisoner over
to you whenever you are ready."
Totally disregarding the up
roar that followed his words, he
wrenched open the door of his of
fice, which gave off the back of the
room, strode in and slammed it.
Collapse In The Street
AY pushed her way out
through the excited crowd,
pretending not to see Tom Run
yon and Josh Hastings, as they
tried to fight their way to her.
A sudden exhaustion flooded
her as she gained the front door,
and came out into the fresh air.
She simply had to be alone to take
ltorkof thesituationl
Glancing over her shoulder, she
saw Josh Hastings appear at the
door. Tom Runyon was In the
background, talking excitedly to
two men who had buttonholed
him, and were apparently giving
him some unwelcome news.
Thankful that his attention, at
least, was divprtcd from her for
the moment, Kay started to run
down the street toward the hotel,
her one thought being to reach her
room before a threatening dizzi
ness overcame her.
At the far end of the practically
deserted street, stood the rambling
two-story wooden hotel, where she
had taken a room, and Kay sped
toward it.
Halfway there, the buzzing in
her ears increased to a deafening
roar, and an enveloping blackness
sent her staggering ahead a few
more steps before she fell in a
dead faint
A second later, Josh Hastings
was beside her. Picking her up,
he carried her a few yards to
where he had left his car parked.
He put her hastily and none too
gently on the back seat sprang in
and drove off at high speed.
Black Prison
T'HEN Kay came to, her first
' impression was that the black
ness which had overcome her was
still around her. Then, as con
sciousness gradually came back,
she realized that she really was in
a totally dark place of some kind,
with a dank, unpleasant odor.
A nameless terror brought Kay
to her knees, on the damp floor
Hastings carried uncon
scious Kay to his car.
where she had been lying. Grop
ing about her, her hand came lr
contact with a cold piece of iron
She ran her hand along its sur
face. It felt like an old furfie.
She grasped it to steady herself,
and got to her feet, fighting with
all her might not to give way
agnin to the surging rumbling in
her cars and the wild beating ot
her heart. At least she wasnt
bound and gagged! 1
She shouted aloud, and het
voice resounded with a muflled
ronr against the low ceiling.
As her eyes gradually became rc
customed to tiie dark, she reached
out toward the wall, taking a few
experimental steps away from the
prop that had been supporting
her. Her foot hit against a hard
obstruction, and stooping down,
she felt some pieces of scrap iron.
She realized that she must have
been brought into the cellar of
some blacksmith shop.
Kay called again as loudly as
she could. This time, heavy steps
overhead responded to her call,
and with mounting excitement she
heard the thumping of feet de
scending some stairs. A moment
later, a door some 10 feet away
from her was pulled open. Josh
Hastings appeared, framed in the
dim light that penetrated through
that doorway.

Living Money
Because of a (shortage of coins In
the British Isles during the middle
ages, a system of barter wherein slaves
were one of the chief standards of ex
change was resorted to. The price of
a slave wa approximately the same
as a falcon or greyhound. Churches
sought to discourage the system of
"living money" by refusing to uccept
slaves, as penance payment.
