. 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!"
