The Brussels Post, 1949-4-27, Page 2'VACUUM P A C It 4 t ALWAYS 71145/9 WEST OF THE SUN A Serial Story by JOSEPH LEWIS CHADWICK CHAPTER I The stagecoach had rolled breath- takingly for so many weary miles over Arizona's dusty trails that its mere stopping startled its passen- gers. Then the rifle shot, crashing against the night quiet, threw them into panic. The lanned. was deftly uexecuted. cleverly boulder twisted its narrow way onto the road and trapped the racing horses. Three men, mounted and armed, swooped down with grim, hawkish purpose. The rifle shot drilled the guard's gun arm. The bandit leader's face was hid- den behind a neck -scarf mask. He signaled with his rifle, and his two companions dismounted. They were two hard looking men. The big, be - whiskered one covered the driver and guard. The short, swarthy man jerked' open the coach's door. "Everybody out! Take it easy, and nobody'il be hurt." The passengers stepped out and were ordered into a line facing the masked rider. Two of the eight passengers were women, one a tall slender girl in gray. -- The leader was a black blur against the darkness. His voice was muffled by the mask. "We want nothing of you people. You'll not be harmed, Just stand quiet." His guns swung threateningly up- ward toward the two men atop the stage. He ordered them to throw down their weapons. When they had obeyed: "Yon carry a money box for a man named Barron at Santa Bonita, We want it. Throw it down!" The guard muttered an oath, but a metal box dropped to the ground. The unshaven bandit picked it up and climbed onto his, horse. "That's all!" the bandit leader snapped, "Stand quiet for 15 min- utes. Come along, Pete"' But the swarthy man was eyeing the girt in gray. The moon slid suddenly from behind a black cloud, and its silvery glow touched her. Her face was young. Her fea- tures were fineic- molded, her skin a smooth white against which her blue eyes seeined very dark. Her !hair had a golden sheen beneath 'her fashionable bonnet. Her long, full dress was gathered close to the youthful lines of her body. Pinned to the neck-line of the dress, at I,er throat, was a Caine() set in gold. It was at the pin that the swarthy bandit stared. Sudenly his hand started out, and he tore the cameo away with a vicious tug that ripped ;epee the girl'. dress. She gasped mud her hands darted to the parted waist. But she was not quick rnuugh to catch the envelope; it fluttered to the ground and the ban- -lit 'poneces! upon it. The girl cried, "Give me that let- ter!" She reached out but her hands were struck down, The masked man swung iris horse close. He struck his gun barrel hard against his companion's shoul- der. "Give that back!" he ordered. The man obeyed, then hurried to his horse. The masked man sat rigidly in the saddle for a brief interval, staring at the girl from between sombrero brim and mask, Then he swung his mount and rode quickly away into the tracks. The stage driver hit the ground and grabbed up the guard's rifle. He fired rapidly into the shadows. The crashing sounds roiled emptily out over the desert, The girl stood clutching the letter between her bands .. . • 4: d: Lannasa was a boons town. It had mushroomed up almost over night, the hub of a cattle and silver coun- try. But the handwriting was al- ready on the wall, The railroad was coining through, but it would miss Lannasa by 20 miles. Virginia Ames stood at her hotel window looking down into the dusty, sun -blasted street Her dark blue eyes were troubled; she had just finished reading, for perhaps the hundredth time, her all-impor- tant letter. Trains and boats and stages had carried her into a country totally unlike her own. The Territory, alt dust and heat, seemed a million miles away from Washington, her home. She thought of fine houses and tree -studded avenues, and felt lonely—and a little afraid. A man stepped from a saddler's shop across the street. He caught and held Virginia's interest. He stood in the sun and rolled a cigar- ette, a tall, dark man in fine gray broadcloth and low -crowned, wide - brimmed hat. He, at least, looked like the East. e 4: His sharp -featured face was Hand- some, rather pale. There was an ease about stint, a natural calm, which contrasted sharply against the hurly-burly of the rough town. As he lighted his cigarette, his glance chanced to Virginia's win- doww His black eyes held He smiled with a flash of white teeth, removed his that, and bowed. Virginia compressed her lips and looked elsewhere. She felt the heat of color in her cheeks, afraid he would think she had flirted, Later, descending to the lobby, she saw a mean in army uniform stride through the open doorway. Ile came directly toward her, as if he had been seeking her. She halted, her Ictiees suddenly weak, Confusion played havoc with her thoughts. (Continued Next !reek) t'tupROSPy�t ,r`I PUZZLE a.
