Four Faces West Page #2

to El Paso?

No. Why? Is that

where you're going?

No, I'll be stationed at the new

railroad hospital in Alamogordo.

Well, I asked for it.

Back home, it all sounded

so exciting.

Nurse for the railroad, new frontiers, the

- the romantic West.

"The romantic West. "

Look at it.

I got a sneaking suspicion you

like your East better than the West.

Like it?

Why, there's no comparison.

All you've got here is miles of rocks

and desert and hills with no trees.

We've got a lot of wonderful

- Rattlesnakes?

- Buenas dias, seorita, seor.

- Good morning.

I hope the news of the washout

has not interfered with your plans.

- Washout?

- Oh, perhaps you have not heard yet.

Very big rain ahead.

The tracks have gone out.

We will all have to leave

the train at Albuquerque.

Albuquerque Palace Hotel,

right this way.

This way for the Palace Hotel.

Well, folks, looks like there won't

any trains out of here for maybe a week.

Hold on, now. The agent here has fixed things

up for you so you can stay at the hotel.

The railroad will pay the bills

and take care of the baggage.

Now, if there any of you who

can't wait for repairs on the road,

there's a mail hack that'll take you to

Gallup on the other side of the washout.

More than likely save you

a day or two.

What time the hack leave?

5:
00 tomorrow morning.

- 5:
00, senorita.

- Mr. And Mrs. Winston and Junior.

- Trotter. Help with baggage.

- We'll take care of everything, Mr. Trotter.

Put me down for a seat.

Monte Marquez.

How about you, senorita? 5:00

in the morning? No, thanks.

One for McEwen.

Well, Miss Hollister, I guess

I won't be seeing you again.

Thanks for everything.

Put me down

for a seat.

Fay Hollister.

Junior!

Where are you, Junior?

Junior!

Mama!

Junior!

Where's Junior?

Want a bite, Mom?

Junior!

Pa, I'm so worried.

Will you stop worrying?

Everything's gonna be all right.

I can't help it. L-

Oh, Mr. McEwen.

Have you heard the news?

There's a killer loose.

Is that so? Who'd he kill?

Ma, there you go again.

Nobody's been killed. She heard some

talk about a fellow who held up a bank.

You don't say. Have they

picked up his trail yet?

If they have not,

they will soon.

There's a very big

reward for him.

All right.

Let's get on, folks.

Junior, get back here

where you belong!

Hurry up.

Giddup! Giddup!

Giddup!

Is it much farther

to Gallup?

Naw, we'll make it

in a couple days, easy.

You mean, we'll be

doing this all day long?

Except when they stop to

water the horses at Anderson.

You're gonna wear yourself out if you

keep fighting every bump, Miss Hollister.

Just lean back and relax. Relax?

On this bouncy bandwagon?

Sure, you can, if you try.
