Mrnwhll, h (coll CHAPTER XIV JPRANKLIN LARRAWAY, under protest, was itanding on a rock bv the highway turnolT, singing in a genuinely good baritone: "Hoo-o-o-o, or the day on the rang! Rollicking day'. Frolicking days. Out on h open rane? Hear you the swish of the larfafs loop. The throw! The oatcW The jubi lant whoop Of the cowboy uhoc daring and oenerous tharing Of work and of pleasure bring joy to the range. Ho-o-o-o-o, for the iMwtern range! He finished with a dramatic flourish on a high note and the ap plause was enthusiastic. A dozen or so travelers waited with Rose ' lee, Christine, Sick and the three old-time cow hands whom the; had hired as part of the "atmos phere" for Ooldcrest. As were the others, Franklin was attired this morning in cowboy costume. He had borrowed a guitar from one of the cowboys to accompany him self singing and Christine Palmer had gazed happily at him while he sang. It was her idea that ht help entertain the waiting crowd, and it had proved to be an excel lent idea. A coupe slowed down ! and stopped, Roselee greeted the twe women who were in it, "Good morning. Were you In terested In seeing GoldcrestJ" "Yes. Can we go right on over?" "No ma'am. But if you will please wait for a few minutes we are having a lot of fun we will all go in together. You see, we have all our guides here this morning to greet a special bus party at 10 o'clock. They're due any time, were having songs.' Roselee smiled at them, and her elusive left dimple flashed, and the two women in the car smiled bade and said they'd wait "Mare than a hundred college students and some faculty mem- bera from a Mew York university are coming," Roselee went on. "Buses of them, on a coast-to-coast tour." "How lovely! Ill bet they read about you in the papers. We saw your write-up several places, my dear. I think it's marvelous. W . can hardly wait to see your ghost town." ...... r. "TTlBltV rmi " Vn 1 IT 1 , again at them. ' "Mr. Larraway here is our advertising man. He'i the one who was singing when you drove up. He worked on col lege publications, and sent a lot Of material in to the newspapers and all." T "Did you have to pay'to get it published? I should think" "Oh no. We did buy some ad vertising, and it helped a lot But then the news writers and the picture magazines seemed to dis cover us. and they gave us far more attention than we ever ex pected, really." "I'm sure you deserved it." Christine called out then. "Here some the buses, Roselee!" TTHE five large buses took 20 minutes in arriving Because they had been separated on the Highway. Two or three more pri vate cars pulled up during that Interval, too. Dick Bancroft greeted them. Franklin and the two girls were busy with the col lege crowd, but when the last bus came Dick and Roselee, riding in their light service truck, led the caravan over the rough two miles to the ghost town. Franklin and Christine rode with the visitors, trying to show as much hospital ity as they could. For one thing they enjoyed being . hospitable, especially since this was a group or collegians approximately their own age, but aside from that was the salient fact that this morn ing's callers represented a money "take" which would approach tzvu an told. When they had all alighted again at the edge of Goldcrest, to walk slowly through the now rou tine routing worked out by Dick and Franklin and Roselee and Christine, the crowd was more like a picnic assembly or a crowd before a football game. Youth uuuiuiaieu uie guests wis morn ing. Boys and girls were making the inevitable wisecracks and asking upward of a million ques tions. More sedate adults could only follow and look on, but the good spirits there were contagious. They saw the old abandoned residences. The corrals and black smith shops. The feed stores one with a bell which they rang and heard echo powerfully in the great rocky canyon there the interest ing old graveyard, the bank and barbershops and other business places were all visited. When the four owner-managers had escorted the guests at last to Mrs. Hogan's place in the Ace Hotel for lunch, ordered in ad vance, one elderly member of the New York college faculty ap proached Roselee and shook her hand. "I must say, Miss Dale," he smiled, "that we may find some places to disappoint us on this western tour, but your ghost town surely lives up to the publicity." PHR1STINE and Franklin, alert, took that as a cue to show some courttious attention to the other faculty members and older folk present. Quite by chance they were near a bearded gentle man with an umbrella. "Are you In the faculty, too, llrT" Christine asked him. "Why uh yes, I am. Profes sor York-t-that's my nsrne." .He stuck out his hand and Christina took it in mild surprise. His voice and manner were hardly in keep ing with his looks. For one thing, professor almost never calls himself "Professor," Christine knew, having been in college only recently herself. He had surprised her, and she caught Franklin Lar raway's eye appraising the man curiously too. But then, college (acuity men sometimes are ec centric. Christine made a point of being especially cordial to him, then passed on. She forgot the Incident until most of the group were sitting down to eat Then, in her hurried survey of the crowd just to be sure no guest was be:ng neglected, Christine saw Professor York quietly walking away from the hotel. Also she noted that Franklin looking strangely serious of face had edged over toward the door of the hotel lobby and was peer ing out at Professor York too. Doubtless Franklin would call him, she told herself. But Franklin didn't call, and in spite of the bustle and the laugh ter and the constant happy hum of voices around her, something made Christine glance out again to check up on eccentric Profes sor York. Maybe she ought to go bring him in, the old dear, she thought, kindly. Roselee and Dick were very nusy with the younger folk in the big dining hall, she noted. She saw Professor York unob trusively head down the street lust gazing here and there, then suddenly cross over. Moreover, he was going directly toward the Goldcrest bank! That itself needn't have been alarming. And yet something froze Christine Palmer to atten tion there. Some nameless inner fear. The fear was heightened when the saw Professor York look hur riedly around, then disappear in side the bank door. She glanced St Franklin Larraway, caught the wed look of recognition now on that young man's countenance. She started to walk through the crowd to join Franklin, but in that moment he left the hotel and him self ran hurriedly across and down the street to enter the Gold crest bank.
