They climbed the stone stair
with the beautiful wrought Iron
railing, passed through the gym
nasium balcony and out an arch
ed door onto the roof of another
arched -colonnade such as con
nected the Pueblo -university
buildings around a large patio.
The froof hero made a promen-
nde with a jknee-high rail, and
Andre led Lona Montoya Into a

to keep from revealing this new
warmth of feeling he presently
lapsed hack Into a formal man
ner and tone. Then they had
talked for perhaps half an hour
Ronnie stood up.
"I'm so happy we understand
each other," she said, "and I
think I shall go explain more to

determination. "I shall go myself.
