CHAPTER 28
BEST TO STAY HIDDEN
It was late afternoon before Ted
came out of the heavy sleep into [
which he had slipped after his
lapse 'nto unconsciousness.
In the long day that had passed.
Marton had had plenty of time to
think over the surprising events
of the morning ___1
It was clear that, if Scrap John-
son had been murdered, Ted would
be the one to whom suspicion
would inevitably point. There were
two possibilities—either Ted’s shot
had not gone wild, as he had sup-
posed. or someone else had come
along and murdered the man,
framing Ted as the killer.
In any case, the longer Ted could
stay hidden away, until he regain-
ed strength to fight for himself,
the better. No matter how much
his mother and sister and the mys-
terious "Kay" might need him, ev-
eryone w‘as better off for the mom-
ent if he stayed right where he was.
As for herself, she cculdn’t leave
her hMing place for another 10
days anyway, and she would in-
finitely rather I put him in the time
nursing Ted back to health and
strength. than to be alone with her
anxious thoughts « her father.
Resolving to make the position
clear to Ted as soon as she could.
Manon came and sat beside him.
as he roused himself.
Outlining to him his side of the
situation ' as she saw it, Marion
went on to tell him of her own
predicament
"My father is in desperate
strasts of some sort," she ended,
"and under the circumstances I
have no choice but to let him work
things out in his own way. The
one thing I must do, is to wait
here for the full time he set. Then,

PASSIONATE OUTBURST
As Kay stood at the door of the
mess shack and watched the sher-
iff ride away with his posse, she
felt stunned with the sick reac-
tion to the news she had JuSI
heard.
One possible solution after an-
other flashed through her mind
only to be discarded It was all a
terrifying mystery, and her thoughts
kept ocming back to the dread
certainly that Ted was dead or
desperately wounded somewhere
Dozens of questions that she had
asked the sheriff came to her. Why
hadn't she found out whether
Scrap Johnson's gun had been dis-
charged? Why—a long shuddering
breath escaped her.
There now. honey, don't you
take it so hard!” Seth came up be-
hind her. and put a comforting
hand on her shoulder "Looks kind
cf black for this Gaynor fellow
but after all, he's nothing to us. We
can go along on our own. rebuild-
ing. Just as well as though he was
here.”
i “I think you are all perfectly
heartless!" Kay blazed. whirling
about and facing Seth with flash-
ing eyes. "All you think about is
how it is going to affect us! You're
ready to use his brains and his
plan, and then Just let him die
like a deg somewhere!"
"Why, Kay!" Seth regarded her
with open-mouthed amazement
' What's got Into you? The sherlf!

him, and—"
"Yes—so that he can accuse him
of murder!" Kay broke in pas-
slonately. "You're all waiting like
