earnestly.
_Leader--_
"WE MUST HAVE ICE FOR HER. IT'S TWENTY MILES TO MY TOWN AND
FOURTEEN TO PINEDALE. START THERE AT ONCE, GET THE ICE, AND
WE'LL SAVE HER YET"
Back to scene.
Freeman realizes the importance of being able to procure ice
as soon as possible. Starts to get ready, presently hurrying
out of room. Doctor turns to Jess and gives her instructions
as to administering the medicine, pointing to watch. She
nods. Doctor takes last look at child, then walks out of
room, Jess following.

Doctor comes out, followed by Jess. With a parting word, he
rides away. A moment later Freeman comes from direction of
stables driving buckboard. He says a few words to Jess, who
assures him that she will be all right, and then he drives
off rapidly. Jess re-enters house.
6--Exterior, supposedly at distance from but within sight of ranch--
Steve Hammond rides slowly into picture, dismounts wearily,

directions.
