WESLEY EXPLAINS
CHAPTER XI
rpHEY climbed the stone stair
with the beautiful wrought
iron railing, passed through the
gymnasium balcony and out an
arched door onto the roof of an-
other arched colonnade such as
connected the Pueblo University
buildings around a large patio.
The roof here made a promenade
with a knee-high rail, and Andre
led Lona Montoya into a moon
shadow cast by a high, rustling
palm tree.
She put aside her crutch now
because they were quite alone.
Music from the dance floor seeped
out and up to them suggesting a
subtle background for romance,
but only Andre responded to its
suggestion. He looked at Lotia
with a sudden amused, half-
smirking smile.
"You're beautiful when you
are angry," he informed her.
"Did you come here on business
or on pleasure?" Her voice was
snappish. "You have taken too
many drinks already tonight."
"Oh, take it easy. kid. I think
we could get along fine!" He
fingered her arm, up and down.
"Would you like a drink your-
self? Now?"
"I am being paid to do a job
and you are being paid to do a
job, Mr. Girardeau. And we both
know we can be found murdered
it we fail. Why do I have to re-
mind you of that?"
Andre laughed. "This isn't the
moment for business! This is—a
lovely autumn evening! Look at
the stars, my dear."
"I am not 'your dear'."
He smiled genially at her. He
liad been walking slowly, with an
arm around her as if in deference
to her sprained ankle, which both
knew was pretense. He held her
n little closer, noting—with satis-
faction—that she did not resist,
despite her words. He wanted her
to feel his strong arm.
"Like it out here?" He purred
that ever so intimately. "Like
me?"
She didn't answer.
But she sat on the low railing.'
20 feet above "the patio grass, and

Ii- ned while he paid her numer-
ous compliments. It was exceed-
ingly easy to listen to suave An-
dre Girardeau. His technique
was a studied one that he had
used many times before.
* * *
rPHE patio there was really a
half-acre courtyard, land-
scaped with grass as rich as a
golf green, with shrubs that
banked impressively against the
tan building*, with tall curved
palms and with vines that some-
how managed to bedeck them-
selves with (lowers even in fall.
It had been an obvious place for
Honica Bailey to lead her dis-
tressed professor friend when she
wanted privacy. They had found
a rustic bench beside a trickling
fountain, and Ronica was sitting
in the dim moonlight, hands be-
hind her neck and head back so
that she looked up at him. She
was Beauty itself in this perfect
setting, but Wesley was too upset
to observe such things now.
"Stand if you prefer, Wes. But
please start talking."
"I, uh, Ronnie. I—" He took
out his handkerchief to mop his
chin, although he could hardly
have been perspiring.
"Yes?" she encouraged. "We
are out here to explain things.
Aren't we?"
"Quite so. I mean—yes. Ron-
nie!'' He sat down beside her.
"I hope you will not stay angry
at me. I—I came to your home.
But your father said—he said that
this, uh, Girardeau was taking |
you to the dance, and Girardeau
Was just ahead of me."
Ronnie's knees were crossed and
■die was swinging one very shape-
ly lower limb as if to express
impatience.
"On the contrary, Wes, you ar-
rived just ahead "of Andre. He
even ran into your car. Daddy
said, He had been drinking. You
could have come in first. Besides.
I don't care what Daddy told you.
He's an old dear, but you didn't
have to listen to him. You made
the date with me, not with him!''
"Yuu—you really would have
gone to the dance with me? Me?"
Wesley held out a hand as if in
supplication.
"Certainly!"
He looked away, contrite. Ron-
nie sensed his mood.
"Wes," she resumed, kindly,
"why did you think I might not?
Didn't you—believe me?"
He nodded. "At first. But—oh.
goudm -s. Ronnie, you really are
a lady in every way! To be veiv
frank. I was scared. I, uh. have
not had many dates. Not in years.
I have but little money, whereas

off.
"I think I understand. Wes. But
it's foolish. I mean, unfair."
"I know. But this Girardeau

TENDER the spell of her kind-
ness there the young professor
talked himself out. He told more
than he had meant to, really; more
of his inner feelings.
But he found this good, and it
somehow warmed him to Ronica
Bailey more than ever, although
to keep from revealing this new
warmth of feeling he presently
lapsed back into a formal manner
and tone. Then they had talked
for perhaps half an hour Ronnie
stood up.
"1 m so happy we understand
each other," she said, "and I think
I shall go explain more to Andre
now."
''No." said Wes, with sudden
determination. "I shall go myself.
I—I wish to demonstrate that I
am not, uh, afraid of him. Not
awed."
He left her at once. She was
smiling at his boyish way, which
could be in such contrast to Wes-
ley York, the professor. She sat
down again to wait, and with
arms still behind her head she
gazed at the gymnasium with its
lights inside and at the arched
colonnade bathed in moon glow.
Her attention was attracted by
two figures on the colonnade: man
and girl, on the roof. Apparently
the girl was sitting, the man
standing over her.
Ronnie leaned forward, strain-
ing to see. The two on the roof
were no more than black forms,
not quite clear even in silhouette.
Curious, she strolled over toward
the colonnade to stare upward,
and began to hear talking al-
though words were indistinguish-
able in the music from the dance
floor.
* # *
rPHEN all at once a door from
the gymnasium balcony opened
and Wesley stood in unmistakable
outline up there. He saw the two
figures at once and hastened to
them and spoke.
"I beg pardon, but this is hardly
a safe place for—"
"You again, eh?" said a voice,
unmistakably Andre's. "I suppose
you'd prefer to kiss her yourself!"
Ronnie saw the dark shadows
merge, heard the sound of a blow.
And then-
Somebody toppled over the low
roof railing!
Quite involuntarily, Ronnie
screamed. .
