AN INTERRUPTED PARTY CHAPTER XXII WESLEY YORK, deeply hurt, told himself all at once that he yru tired ot endlesa worrying. Ronica had aeemed (o fine, so utterly fair with htm and charm ing withal, that he Just couldn't envision her being in love with a man like Andre Girardeau. Andre plainly was a playboy of a type U too common; Wes could hardly ttt that Ronnie had been taken In by him. "I shall demand the truth my elt" Wesley suddenly avowed after supper this evening. Where fore, in characteristic action, he drove immediately out of town in his old sedan. His car, incidentally, was In much better shape than it had been on his original trip in this direction; its rattles were gone, its motor tuned carefully, and Its body really attractive under new paint He hoped Ronica would notice it ' Another car was parked at the Rocking R ranch home when he got there, so Wes knew instantly that ha wouldn't be able to ask Bonnie his point-blank question. His idea had been to demand of her If she really did love Andre Girardeau, and to beg of her to to well, he hadn't planned quite that far, but he did hope to inter fere with her "engagement" as announced by the New York col umnist He wished he might tell Bonnie of Andre's meetings with Lona Montoya, but that wouldn't seem diplomatic. He'd have to think of something else. The Rocking R living room a large hall beautifully done in log beams and Indian rugs and west-: em furniture was gay with music' and laughter. Shyness halted Wesi for a moment at the threshholdj but both Mr. Bailey and Bonnie! saw him. A moment later he was! In the midst of seven Pueblo U. co-eds, lovely girls all, who were bantering him as the only eligible male present to dance with them. Six guests had driven out to visit Bonnie, with no dates tonight be cause of school ruling. The talk was too rapid for Wes. Temporarily he slipped back into his old defensive "Quite so," and "Yes, indeed," and such poor con versational phrases until Teeny Travers, a cute bit from Detroit, grabbed him and literally forced him into jitterbugging. Good sport at heart, Wes tried it Moreover, he showed some talent if jitter bug steps can be called such and presently was actually enjoying h.maif, No normal man can long remain unhappy amid seven viva-, clous girls. Finally Rornie Bailey; nerself interrupted Teeny and oth ers who had pre-empted Wes. "Goodness, you girls are ter rible!" aha declared, brightly. "Dr. York came to see me not you!" kpHAT merely intensified the I'"1" rivalry. And built ud Wesley's spirits even more. The strange, delightful stimulant ot feminine attention and approval was over whelming to mm and before :30 he found himself doing and saying things he would never have dreamed himself capable of. Just for plain old fun they created new dance steps. They chimed in with radio music and chorused the songs, stopping to Improvise new words when they cared to. They cracked jokes and laughed inordi nately. They even revived the old game of "handles" whereby you do cute Imitations with fingers and1 hands, and Wes himself proved the cleverest of all in short an outsider looking in would surely have taken Dr. Woodrow Wesley York, PhJJ., not lor a dignified instructor in archae ology but as some lively member or tne junior or senior class, a! young collegian very popular withi the co-eds. ! ; Harmless and impromptu as it was, this hour represented the highest good time Wesley York' had ever known. At about 10 Mr. Bailey himself came through, smiled benignly and talked a bit before climbing to his upstairs room and going dutifully to bed. Youth, said Mr. Bailey, lj for pleasure, but an older fellow touched with indigestion must Ihave his rest i e I XTILARITY inside the Rocking R ranch mansion fitted the plans jof another individual perfectly. I . This Individual, a woman dressed In man's clothes, drove out toward ,the ranch with a man about i'3 o'clock. Car lights were turned off; and their car parked on the open yiain, neaaea hack toward town, less than half a mils from the building. "There Is the residence," the man said, "and there the hangars, wo moonlight to bother us, but dust enough glow from the stars, you have your pistol?" j "Certainly," answered she. i ' "All right. Remember now first at the northeast corner behind the sahuaro cactus plant Feel for the fuse. Lighted, It will glow no more than a cigaret for two minutes or so, then it will touch the prepared material. Hurry then to the rear corner and repeat The fuse there ends at the largest rock that pro trudes, under the tweediana vine. Light both and come directly back to the car. There will be ample time.- t : "Do not run, either going or coming, lest you arouse suspicion. If you meet any one merely say "Hello1 and gg.on by. Make your voice deep. Ot course, In emer gency, your gun Is" "I understand," said the woman. "I am not a fool. And don't fail at your end, either, for this may be our only chance." WESLEY YORK, playing his own " accompaniment on the Bailey grand piano, roared out "The Branding Song" with a truly im pressive baritone. The seven girls made a semi-circle around him, linked arm on shoulders. "Ooooooo, Doc-tor York!" gushed Teeny Travers, in appreciation. "You do sing beautifully, Wes," Ronica declared. "Do it again and we'll try it with you, hunh?" - They did three stanzas and were elated, and because range songs were a new experience to most ot the dude college girls here, they sang every one Wesley could re member "Home On the Range" and "Cielito Undo" and "My Fi esta Song" and "Lowell ot the Dos S Ranch" and "Nuevo Mexico" and snatches ot many another. Then because the mood struck him, Wes swung into the haunt ingly beautiful music ot "Pueblo Mio," the university's own song, with its weird minor thumm-boom thumm-boom background ot In dian tom-toms and its quick chorus alive with yip-yip shoutings and castenets. The young people were so en grossed in their pleasure that they were insensitive to anything else for a long while, but as "Pueblo Mio" ended some of the girls were rubbing their eyes. Two had been smoking dgarets, with no notice taken. But all at once Wesley coughed. "Good lordl" he exclaimed. "The room's full ot smoke!" They all turned, staring, motion ess for an endless moment Through their silence came an unmistakable crackling, and sooty smoke whirred under a doorway into the room as if blown by strong force. Ronlca's hand Jerked up in a gesture of defense. "Oh!" she cried out "Wcsl Oh-h-h, Wesley!" (To Be Continued) Earning His Wings f K " xi a naTi i'fi i " toAA. ' . Vai Don Brown, son of Joe E.
