sounded to keep her promise to
Ted. but she managed it. First of
all, she had changed trains, and
waited at a station where no one
would know her, for the afternoon
train, that would land her at Red
River late at night.
Slipping off the end car without
being seen, she had gone by a cir
cuitous route to Old Man Jennings'
livery stable. Housing him, she had

FlitST she had gone to her cabin
and found hex flashlight. Then
she had tiptoed into the bunk
house, and singled out Scth's bunk.
Creeping over to It, she had gently
laid her hand over his mouth and
flashed her light In her foreman's
eyes.
Smothering his startled oath as
he blinked at her, Kny had put her
finger to her lips, and then beck
oned him outside. With astonished
but muted mumblings and grum-
Diings beih had drawn on his boots
and followed her.
"Wbat the hell " he had
growled, pacing beside her to a
safe distance. "When"
"Sshl Seth!" Kny had whis

Interrupted only by picturesque
eath of varying degree of blas
phemy, Kay hart nourcd out her

means to do," she had ended, "but
I think It's up to me to carry out
my promise."
After a few minutes of careful
deliberation. Seth had agreed with
her.

doing this, it hnd finally been de

between what I know and what ht

"Well, go on, Shorty," Kay
urged, impatiently. "What did you
dope out?"
"Klrst place, he'd written your
