Then the-rifle shot, crashing against the night quiet, threw them mto panic = The ambush, cleverly planned, was deftly executed. A 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 The short, swarthy man jerked open the coach's door. "Lverybody out! Take it easy, and nobody'll be hurt." The passengers stepped out and were ordered into a line facing the rider. Two of the eight passengers were. women, one a tall slender girl in gray. i * * & 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. Whey they had obeyed: "You 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 quict for 15 min- utcs. Come along, Pete!" . But the swarthy man was eyeing the -girl 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 finely molded, her skin a smooth white against which her blue eyes scemed very dark. Her hair had a golden sheen bencath her fashienpble bonnet. Her long, full dress was gathered close to the vouthful lines of her body. Pinned to the neck-line of the dress, at her throat, was a camco set in gold. It was at the pin-that the swarthy bandit stared. Sudenfy his hand darted out, and he tore the cameo away with a vicious tug that ripped open the girl's dress. She gasped and her hands darted to the parted waist. But she was not quick enough to catch the envelope; it fluttered to the ground and the ban- dit pounced upon it. mb -- ~The girl cried, "Give me that let= ter!" She reached out but her hands were struck down. The masked man swung his 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 rocks. The stage driver hit the ground and grabbed up the guard's rifle, - He fired rapidly into the shadows. The crashing sounds rolled emptily out over the_desert. The girl stood clutching the letter between her hands . . . " - * * Lannasa was a boom 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 coming 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, all 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 jnterest. He stood in the sun and rolled a cigar- ette, al tall, dark man. in fine gray broadoloth and low-crowned, wide- - brimmed hat. He, at least, looked like the ask: * * His ER featured face was Hands some, rather pale. There was an ease about him, 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- dow. His black eyes held. He smiled with a flash of white teeth, removed his hat, 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. man in. army uniform stride through the open doorway. He came directly toward lier, as if he had been seeking her. "halted, her knees suddenly weak. Confusion played havoc with het pt _ (Continued Next Week) | ' 1. Village Wm 1. Number J Vermont \ 34.

She How Can 1? by Anne Ashley QQ. How can I store a fur coat and avoid moths? A. It is the better plan to have a reliable fur store clean and glaze the fur coat and store it for the summer in their vaults, However, if this isn't possible, shake the coat out thoroughly, and hang it out on a windy day for several hours, Then wrap it carefully in newspaper (moths hate the smell of printers' ink), and pack in an airtight clothes bag or cedar chest. Q. How can 1 remove the ugly cigarette stains that often Miscolor copper ash trays? A. These can be easily one by rubbing with a cloth dampened with ammonia and then dipped into any household cleanser. Wash in warm suds afterwards and dry well (). How can I make a good sauce for ice cream? A. A delicious shuce to spread over vanilla ice cream is chocolate covered peppermint candies, melted in a double boiler, Q. How can I mend broken iii A.
