By adding to our previous simulations one more point at $\beta = 6.65$ employing a $56^3\times 96$ lattice, we now confirm the expected $O(a^2)$ behavior of $B_K$ with the Kogut-Susskind action. A simple continuum extrapolation quadratic in $a$ leads to $B_K$(NDR, 2 GeV) = 0.598(5). As our final value of $B_K$ in the continuum we present $B_K$(NDR, 2 GeV)=0.628(42), as obtained by a fit including an $\alpha_{\bar{MS}}(1/a)^2$ term arising from the lattice-continuum matching with the one-loop renormalization. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-lat/9709136v2
