• SERIAL STORY
4 DUDE COLLEGE
BY OREN ARNOLD
tell a certain party believe me!”
Wes was glad enough to get
home.
The evening had been a hectic
one for him too. and even though
it was still not 11 o'clock he felt
that late enough. Besides his face
was still numb and he suspected
it showed discolorations.
He slept poorly because his mind
could find no repose. At dawn the
facial signs were even more
marked and so he stayed inside
mod of the day. His mother con-
cerned over the •'accident” gave
him more attention than he needed
and on Monday he was present-
able again.
At noon Monday the tri-weekly
Pueblo Periodico student news-
paper with a Spanish name came
out with a brief item about his
fall and Wes noted with gratitude
that Ronica had also told the re-
porter it was amaccident But the
same paper also carried this:
‘•Ronica Bailey transfer stu-
dent from New York Sunday
flew her golden monoplane to
Phoenix Ariz with Andre Gi-
rardeau as a guest. Mr. Girar-
deau retired capitalist is spend-
ing the autumn season at a
ranch near Pueblo. He and Miss
Bailey were friends in New
York before the Baileys moved
to New Mexico.”
That's all the item said. Just a
little personal society brief. But it
disturbed Wes York immeasur-
ably. Plainly in his mind. Ronnie
thought a great deal of Andre
Girardeau and so regarded An-
dre's conduct last evening as ex-
-usable. probably because he had
"•eon drinking before coming to
:he dance.
“Ronnie doesn’t drink.” Wesley
murmured to himself staring at
he paper. “But this Girardeau—
retired capitalist’ it says.”
There was the same old bugaboo
money. A man with money is a
power. Wesley wanted but little
noney for himself. His salary and
jrospects he felt adequate to care
for himself and his mother even
for a wife if ever he thought to
marry some humble girl. But—
• • •
tJE didn't have very good lec-
tures in class that day and he
limself realized it. He dismissed
us students rather early in each
period. His mind just wouldn’t get
lack into its groove.
Tuesday wasn’t much better. He
pent a great deal of time alone in
he library. He saw nothing of
tonica nor of Lona Montoya save
•nee when Lona crossed the cam-
ms several yards away. He pur-
lonely avoided meeting her.
He noted that she no longer
ised her crutch. Without it she
talked with infinite grace. 1
I V. c y was his regular fi*ld
day and at 1 o'clock he was driv-
j ;ng his old sedan out toward the
Rainbow Canyon Cliff Dwellings
12 miles from Pueblo where he
was regularly doing excavation
work. The road out went near the
University polo field. He glanced
at a group of riders at practice
then stopped his car.
From his shoulder pack he took
powerful binoculars and studied
the horsemen. One. he perceived
instantly was Andre Girardeau
and another was Rennie herself.
He could see her bright flash of
laughter and the color of her hair
and costume. Girardeau also was
dressed meticulously as usual
Morosely Wes drove on.
• • •
rTHE field day wasn't very fruit*
A ful mainly because We«ley
spent most of the time meditating
on matters aside from work. Back
home he settled to reading.
Thursday was mediocre too; and
on Friday morning from his third
floor office in the administration
building he saw Andre Girardeau’s
new coupe strp at the entry then
take Ronica away.
Saturday was still no better for
him. By being alert he had man-
aged not to come face to face with
either Ronnie or Lona this week.
Like the shy person he was he
was both anxious and afraid to see
the two girls especially Ronnie.
Saturday night he took his
mother to a movie. Afterward he
read a while then walked out
alone at midnight to eat a sand-
wich and coffee. Still moody
lonely he continued walking down
Apache street and out onto the
high semi-desert land and when
he had meditated there under the
stars for an hour he started slowly
back home.
• • •
COME vague inner yearning led
^ him this time via Mescalero
avenue so that presently he was
near Lona Montoya's residence.
Her apartment wls the west side
of a duplex. It was dark but he
leaned against a tree to stare at
her door as a girl-struck boy
might do and was thinking of
both Lona and Ronica when
Lena’s door rather abruptly
opened.
Still no light shone but a man
came quietly out.
Wesley'* chin dropped in sur-
prise. He recognized the figure at
once. Silently he watched while
Andre Girardeau crossed the
street walked a block got in his
shiny new coupe parked there and
drove away.
Then Wes stretched his wrist to
atch the moonlight. His watch
showed 1:20 in the morning.
