CHAPTER 1 "OANDITS!" gasped tbe fat and D perspiring traveling salesman who rode on top of the swaying Concord stagecoach. He grasped frantically at the bulging wallet tn his breast pocket, then almost foil off the seat as Wahrc Jones, the driver. Jerked his horses to a skidding stop or. the narrow mountain road. A hundred yards ahead of the coach two horsemen had materialized out of the sagebrush at the side of the road Guns drawn, hats pulled low over their foreheads, the road agents trotted forward, their guns drawn. The taller of the two wore a black mask, the other's face was partly covered by a rill; polka dot handkerchief. |

A moment later the road agents whirled away lu a cloud of dust. Wahoo scrambled to the top of the coach, snatched up his ride and tried to fire after them. But somehow -.ha ejector Jammed and he had to confine his fury to loud curses. ■The dirty, thievin’, robbin', lyin', sons at coyotes—they'll rob my stage, will they!” he ranted. "They did rob it," sighed the drummer as ho climbed shakily back beside 'he driver. "Oh. what will the boss say when 1 tell him how much I lost? . . .” • • • That night Wahoo Jones, the Tall Bandit, (Jeff Hawkins) and Polka Dot (Sam McGee) were amicably dividing up their ‘‘earnings" around

answered the stranger. Then, as the driver Jumped and almost dropped the reins ~e added: "We Texas Rangers are out to see that such itiu.gs don't happen." He patted hts rifle affectionately. "Come real trouble. I'll shoot first an 4 ask questions afterwards. . . . All you need to do is keep good hold o' them reins." Wahoo digested this information for many minutes. Then, as tha stage stopped at a tiny village in order that the horses might be watered, he scouted hurriedly around a little adobe shack where Jeff bail planned to ambush them, lie found his friend Just as the latter was starting to adjust his black mask. Pretending to have discovered a new passenger he draggec. the startled bandit toward the coach.

•'Dandits,” e?sped the calecrrmn

"Put up your hands!” commanded the tall bandit as he drew nearer. Tlie drummer did so tmmedlaiely but Wahoo reucheu for bis rifle. Whereupon the tall bandit Ored from the hip. Jones’ ha. Hew off and lie also raised his hands. "All right." chucklcc Polka Dot. "Get down, open the door and tell *110 passengers to step out peaceably. The gentlemen will keep their hands up.” As Wahoo scrambled to obey, tbe tall pandit shouted at the salesman: “Hey, you, bring nu that express box up there." “This is a vile outrage," Wahoo fin.ied, as the little company lined up on the side of the road. "In fact It's a shame—these people have paid their fares and they're entitled to my protection. . . .' "I haven’t killed a stagecoach driver tn a long time." grunted Polka Dot. “If you wan. to live, pasa your hat around. This is for charity, folks," he added to the white-faced passengers. "We want all your money and Jewelry." “I want everybody to witness I m doin’ this agin' my will." shouted Wahoo as ho retrieved his bulletriddled hat and passed expertly along 'he shivering iittle line, seeing to it that each passenger “conU ibuted” al! of hts or aei valuables. "This Is an heirloom." pleaded a young school-teacher, as she looked pleadingly at the tall bandit whilo holding out a valuable ring. “Keep It.” replied tno other graciously. Then, to Wahoo he added quickly. "But I'll take this!" He lifted a huge told w atch out of the driver's pocket. "All right. Jeff." called Polka Dot, who had beeu rifling the express box. “You passengers get In line, face the coach and keep 'em in tho air!" . - _

a campfire in the woods whon a posse caught up with them. "1 got a mind to keep this here one for Maria down In Texas," Sam was saying, as he gazed raptly at a brooch which had fallen to his lot. "What 1 wouldn't give to have that little enchilada settin' on my lap tonight, lookin' at me with big round eyes, runnin’ her fingers through my hair an' savin’ ‘Ml dulcito papacito'.".. • "You fellows stay just where you are," a voice whipped out of tbe darkness. “We got you surrounded! Put up your bauds.” "Let's take a chance and make a run for it." whispered Jett through set lips. "Gcttiu' shot's better n bangin' ant* well hang for sure if they catch us.” "They’re all uroun’ us. They’ll be afraid of hittin' each other,” Wahoo agreed nervously. "Grab the bosses when I douae the fire," commanded Sam. As be spoke he kicked the coffee pot over, putting out the flames. A wild scramble ensued during which guns flamed through the darkness and the frantic disappointed curses of the posse members made the forest resound. In the confusion all three of tho bandits made good thoir escape. • • • Down in the Texas flat lands several months later Wahoo Jones was up to his old tricks. But this time, as ho drove the clumsy stage Into a trap laid by his pal Jeff Hawkins, tho man beside him on the box was not a drummer but a taciturn Individual who carried a loaded carbine across his knees. “You seem mighty skittish," Wahoo grumbled to bis companion as they bounced rapidly through the mesqnite under tha broiling sun. "You might he held up today,"

"Helio, Stranger,” Wahoo bellowed. "Always got room for another passenger!" Then, out of Hie corner of his mouth he added: "Get into the coarh. quick. That feller on the scat — he's a Ranger. Won t stand for any monkey business." Thrusting the astonished Jeff Inside. he clambered up the side of the vehicle and whipped up the horses. Tive miles beyond the village. Hawkins heard the familiar shout of “Throw 'em up!” from the side or the 1 oad. Cursing under bit breath beiuiiHo someone else had beat him at his own game. Jeff thrust his bead out ot the window. As ho did so quick shots resounded from the tap of the coach. Two of the masked nu-u who were attempting to hold up the coach fall face forward into the dust. road. A third turned to run. but threw up his hands aud collapsed also as a third shot rung out. Hawkins and the othor passi ngers clambered out as the stage slithered to a halt. The Ranger already had Jumped down and was examining the three dead men. Wahoo also leaped to the ground and sidled up beside bis partner. "That's what 1 was tryin' to tell you. . . ." The rawboned youth Jerked a thumb at the burly passenger. "Them Texas Rangers aln t got no sense of humor. If that's a sample of bow they behave I'm gonna stay clear of ’em.” "They sure are efficient,” answered Jeff glumly. “And us without a dollar left to ou:- names. And Sam somewhere dowu on the Rio Grande with Maria where we may never find him.” He took out the "makings” and rolled a cigarette with hands that shook slightly. "It seems that we should oughler change our plans.” He studied the Ranger's back thoughtfully. __ ITo bo continued) .jSAku

Variety Marks Autumn Hats

■ Two new hats A variety of even more unusual shapes show the style trend in hats for fall, but there are models for all types of women, fashion experts say. The main trick in looking smart in the new creations, they say, is knowing exactly the right angle to wear them. Elizabeth Russell, Hollywood actress. Is shown, above, wearing two of the new hats she has selected for fall wear. The one is a burgundy felt with a trick manipulation of the crown and a curled quill thrust through the narrow grosgrain band. The other is a dark green felt with a bit of grosgrain ribbon encircling the crown next to the hairline. A triple quill of red, green and yellow adds a gay touch. At the right is on* of the new wide-shouldered coats favored for autumn.
