PAGE ElfiTTT A RAPID-FIRE RYSOPR18 : Montana hat been lured to Vuraya in Mexico by rie Mexican Robin Hood, Mateo Rv bne.and Brother I'ascunl, the friar. They want him to help tteal the emerald croun of Our Lady uhich the governor ol the provmr hae himself ttolen from the. church in Duraya. Montana hat agreed to help: Jtulrie hae gone to a friend's house oh the edge of town, and ifontana hae gone to the best tnn, irhera Rosita, beautiful daughter of the landlord, has ehou-n him o room The scarred and battered landlord hoe come to talk with Montana. Chapter IS THE KEY "TK WE are to talk, sit down," said 1 Miguel. "I never sit down till I'm wel come," aald Montana. "I give you first my name and then my errand. My name Is Jos4; my errand Is to steal from the governor the emerald crown of Our Lady which he took from the church. I have promised Bishop Emlllano to put the crown hack in his hands." These words brought a gasp from the girl; she retreated a little so that she could get a fuller view of the face of the speaker, but the proprietor of the Inn was totally un moved. He finally said: "Well, then sit down." Montana bowed a little to Miguel, a little more to the girl, and took a chair at the round table In the corner of the room. Miguel sat op- poslte him, his wooden leg squeak ing on the floor. The girl leaned her elbows on the back of a chair and kept turning her head from one speaker to the other. 'It the governor learns about. you, he burns you alive; If the Rurales learn about you, would they have old scores against you, Jose?" asked Miguel. "I never saw one of the Rurales that I would like to sit face to face with," answered Montana, smiling. Be watched the eyes of the other and almost was sure that ha saw a slight glitter of answering light In response to this confession. "Why do you come to me except to get help?" asked Miguel. "Every man who hates the gover nor Is sure to wish to help me." "Who tells you that I hate the governor?" "Every man who loves the bishop hates the governor." "I've never whispered In my sleep or spoken aloud that I hate the gov ernor," deolared Miguel, In his usual rasping voice. "IT, 'HAT a man has lost on earth ' ' he Is apt to hope tor In heaven," suggested Montana. He saw the blow tell, but only In the slightest lifting of the brows of his companion. "Besides," went on Montana, "your Inn Is just at the door of his fort How many times has he sat his horse outside your place and called for drinka for himself and his men?" The mouth of Miguel twisted &M dp. "And how many times has he paid tor them?" demanded Mon tana. "Besides, after what has hap pened to you, you cannot love any of the people of authority." "What has happened to me?" asked Miguel. "You have been In the Valley of the Dead. You have been one ot the dead In the Valley." Miguel said nothing. He only I TO PRESENT PLAY EAGLE POINT. Feb.

"Even If even-thing you sa: should be true and I admit noth ing," said Miguel, "how could a one legged worm like me help you to break open the fort of Duraya?" "Yes, tell us that!" breathed the girl. "You are the key to the fortress." said Montana, turning suddenly to Rosita. "I?" she cried. "How many of the Jolly officers, how many of the corporals and the sergeants, would give their souls for a smile from you, Rosita?" asked Montana. Bhe shrugged her shoulders. "But a girl like you," went on Montana, "will put a smile In every man's glass and let blm go away with that alone. You save yourself for one of the brave and the great. A man with a carriage and six horses, gold on bis uniform, and a sword at his side, and a bouse where Rosita can be a lady." She turned her back on him and walked to the window, and stood with her face close to the black shimmering of the glass, though she could hardly be able to see much except her own thoughts by this light. Miguel, as he looked after her, almoat smiled. "VTOD are the key to the castle and the fort, Rosita," said Mon tana. "Tell me how you will use the key. It Is no army that wanta to get In. Only two men. Only myself and my friend. Tell me what to do, and you will be paid." He took out a money-belt and poured gold pieces out of It. "This Is gringo money," he said. And be stacked little bright, five dollar gold pieces on the table ten stacks of ten pieces five hundred dollars. It was not a great sura for the north ot the Rio Orande. But It was almost a fortune Iq this part ot the world. "Do you see, Rosita?" asked Mi guel. She came slowly, sullenly back from the window. She looked at the money; she looked at Montana. Then, with a quick movement she cuffed bait ot the gold from the table and knocked It, clinking and spinning, across the room. For a moment more she consid ered Montana with such bright malice that It seemed as though she would rush at him. Instead, she whirled around and fled from the room. The door slammed behind her. Her heels clacked rarldly on the stairway. "You have your anawer," said Miguel. "No." said Montana. "She did not run back Into the Inn. She ran out Into the open night." He went to the door, opened It, and then returned to his chair. "Will you sit here and wait with me till she comes back, or shall I wait alone?" asked Montana. "Tell me how you got so much gringo gold?" Montana thought back to the truth. "There was a gringo dog of a crooked gambler," ho said. "The fel low played a very good game of cards. Because ot that, he gave me all the money In his pocket, his horse, bis saddle, and some new gringo words which I learned to re peat afler him." For the first time, Miguel aban doned his reserve. He leaned for ward In his enjoyment. Ills eyes shone. And at the end he licked his Hps like a beast that has been ted. (Copyright, ?J, Harper 4 Brothers) Montana catches a man In l trap, tomorrow.

JfEDFORD MATL VERY INQUISITIVE Br Robhln room, HOLLYWOOD ( AP ) That tem pest In a cocktall-shsker Garbo's "first public appearance" at a night npot haa Hollywood divided Into va rious "schools of thought' tn its lew flurried and excited aftermath. The manv who don't care what cfarbo does or how she doea It noted with only casual interest that .the Swedish touch-me-not had broken a role of long standing and descended with a party on one of the gayer dlne-and-dance resorts of Filmland. The many who do care what Garbo does and how she does It made the event something to talk about for days. Naturally, they were looking for reasons for the audden. change of front,, and there arose differences of opinion. Not since the Oarbo-Rouben Ma- moultan excitement during the cam paign on "Queen Chrlatlnla" has there been such a stir. At that time, when the Swedish actress and the scholarly director's friendship led to various "first public appearances' In his company, Hollywood tried to drum up a romance for Us mystery star. All the excitement and publicity seem to have put an abrupt end to the little dinners In public restau rants. At least, no acouta have re ported seeing them together lately. But why did Garbo venture into a night club where she was certain 1 S MATTER POP- fff atjout ALiTtesE f Ak-nVose 1 S. , " Tte. TiT. j VJv 7 ( ---) ( ?oA T.tr ) . A7y IV TtTlV?

She has decided to be herself, that's all.
