HONEY BEE GIRL -- Indian; HADES JONES -- pioneer; member of Barry's party. ~-- heroine, Yesterday: Bob Barry goes to the 'stage to meet his business partner, M. M. Lane, and finds to his sheer amazement the partner is a lady. CHAPTER 11 Robert Wilson Barry, Ph. D., had been graduated cum laude, from Harvard at what he felt was the mature age of 24. That was 18 months prior to the day he greeted M. M. Lane at Blanco Canyon. He should have been trained and experienced enough to weather any surprise with poise, but this one shook him. Mary Melissa noted his tan, and his black eyes, and his rather broad shoulders, even as she a- waited. his answer there before the stage station. She had asked him, a stranger. where to find a ho- tel, the stranger had acted strangely indeed. - : His mouth had dropped open, and he had fumbled around like a gawky adolescent. Then he had rather rudely asked her name, and heard it. "Pardon me," he stumb- led along now. "You--you're Lane? Lane. Well, I--" he sud- denly grinned--"I was stampeded that time, Miss Lane. I surely wasn't - expecting" you. I mean, a girl, You see, I---well, the fact is I'm Barry, 'm--I'm glad to see you. Can't &ve--" "Oh!" Mary Melissa was star- ing at him in quick alarm. This young westerner couldn't be "Robert Wilson Barry, Ph.D."! Why, archagplogists are 'all old men! Stodgy old fellows who wear spectacles and poor interminably over the dead past. It was, in short, Mary Melissa's turn to be confused. The few seconds interval gave Bob tinie--to note that she was ~{|-lovely. But-that thought only ir- ritated him a trifle more. He hadn't wanted a lovely partner; « he had advertised for a moneyed one, not a young and dimpled one. * * * The girl and the young scientist hag much talking to do. Bob sug- gested, with a friendly smile, that "they go to the "leading hotel," as her letter had said. It consisted of "two rooms in the rear of Ma Pel- phry's house which she occasion -_ ally rented to-travelers. Probably . Ma would let them sit in her par- "Lane's two big suitcases, and she carried a smaller bag. The "walk would be 300 yards or so. "This is a most regrettable mis- take all around, Miss Lane,' Bob began. "I feel that I should--" "Oh, look!" Mary Melissa stopped and point- ed. 7 . is A man had unhitched a horse and mounted it, there in front of a store. The horse, evidently somewhat new to the saddle, at once set in to be rid of the man. It bucked right up across the board porch of the store, smash- ing a chair and breaking a glass window. © "E¢-e-e-e-e!" the animal screamed in anger, pitching like the wild beast it was, Miss Lane and Bob, not 60 feet away, duck- ed toward a tree for safety. Dust 'enveloped them, " The rider appeared calm. He didn't even lose his hat. His face did show considerable anger, as if disgusted with any horse that bucked. He was a big man, very dark. Obviously a cowboy. > "Gonna make a good animal, Scott," somebody called fron the: store as the bucking subsided, The horse trembled a little, snorted and twisted a time or two, then trotted right by Barry and Miss Lane. The rider saw Mary Me? as if it were a routine action. _. "Goodness!". exclaimed 'Mary "Melissa. "He handled that horse well, I expected him to be thrown "1 don't know," said Bob Barry." lor and talk. He picked up Miss "Stranger to me. I don't get in to Blanco Canyon much. Some cowpoke." * * * Look For A Way Out Ma Pelphry took Mary Melissa into her private quarters -and "visited" with her, in the name of hospitality. Ma never let such an opportunity pass. The interval gave both Bob and the girl time to collect their thoughts. "I'm sorry this thing is all mix- ed up," Miss Lane," Bob began when she joined 'him. "But if-- if you will pardon me for sug- gesting it, there may still. be a way out. I mean, so both of us can be good sports about it all. And I think that's what you'd want." They smiled at each other. "Now my idea is this, Miss Lane: Since there are certain very definite conventions, as both of us will realize, what would you say to a chaperon?" Mary Melissa nodded, and .wait- ed expectantly. "My thought," Bob resumed, "is to hire old Hades Jones. Then you would be--" : "Who? What's his name?" "Zachary Jones. But he's called Hades, because he's hell on In- * dians. Hates em. They fought him in pioncer days, killed some of his family, and he is still a red- skin hater. But he's 70-odd now, and a fanatic on religion. Quite a character. Ask Ma--hey! Mrs. Pelphry, come here a minute, please ma'am." ; Mrs. Pelphry told Jones' com- plete history. She had known him for 40 years. He had, in fact, preached her husband's funeral sermon, because no ordained min. ister was available. fierce old man towards Indians, she admitted, but religious other- - wise. He was uncompromising on matters of personal conduct and morals. He was, in short, a "char- acter." Mary Melissa warmed to the thought of him, "Lét's hire Mr. Jones," she a- greed. "Is he able to travel? I mean, in the mountains?" "Whoo-ooop!" 'guffawed Ma --Pelphry. "Hades can out-walk a--| mule any day! And out-shoot a Mexican rebel, . That old codger ain't never going to die, Miss Lane. Whoo-hooo!" Ma's consid- erable bulk wabbled in laughter. - * * * It took just 40 minutes to lo- cate Zachary Jones and hire him as job man for the archaeological expedition. The old fellow grin- ned in delight. He hadn't, as a matter of fact, been any too pros- "porous of later T ey He took a fancy to Mary Mei- ~issa right off, "Better buy your= self some good tough britches," he warned -her, "Dresses won't fit in, whar we're goin' + "Would a riding habit do, Mr. Jones?" she asked. He was a lissa and doffed his hat == riot with a chivalric raanner, but more" and maybe badly hurt. Who is: hel" habits, long. as they're respects able. But you'll need pants." Bob Barry grinned. Things were beginning to "work out, he felt. Old Hades was wise from half a century in the mountains.' Bab checked over his plans. He had hired an Indian cook, to be met later, Now he'd need a strovg digging. He approached Hades about this, and the old 'man gave "it 'thought, ., ' "I kin git this' feller Holliman, likely. -Strong's a bear, out of work, 1 hear, New -man, from ov- er 'Nogales way. Don't talk none, hardly, but that don't matter none." "Go hire him," said Barry. "What you say his name is?" "Name of Holliman. I'll hunt him up." ! It was nearly suppertime when Hades Jones returned with this third man. The two approached Ma Pelphry's in the dusk of sun- set. Even in twilight Holliman ap- peaved big, but he sat on his horse with the easy grace charac- teristic of cowhoys. Mary Melissa noted them coming and called to her business partner. The two dis- mounted and came onto the porch. Not until then did Bob and the girl resognize Holliman as the man who had ridden the bucking bronco. : "Oh!" Mary Melissa spoke ad- miringly. "We saw you riding. Did he--is the horse all right now?" i "All right," said Holliman, The man obviously was sue- prised, and a little surly, at the discovery that a woman was to be in the party, But he said noth- ing to evoke criticism of his at- titude: Bob Barry told when he went to bed that nigat, that he had managed to corral a strange collection of .people in onz short day.
