"You must have liven him what (or, all right, "Dale flunked all bis mid-years this winter, and has beeu trying to buckle down and make up so be can graduate. Drinking like a dsn, he Is. So the fellors told me. They say he's about as easy to llvo with as a rattlesnake with a sore tum my. , . ." The music jangled Into a finish. Hope was grateful that Tuck Hall suddenly caught her around tbe waist and yelled something about bringing her down to the locker room. . . . Only vaguely did she realize that Betty and Twosome were joining tbem, down Into the lockers, through the gym, and out to the iwimmlng-pool where they squatted on long, hard benches, and Two lome wrangled with the corks of Ugh-soundlng bottles. , . . Hope heard herself sing, Dimly she realised that Betty vas nudging her. Protesting In pained whispers. Clearly, however, she did realize that she was the life of the party. Quite sharply she heard herself sing, with Twosome joining to. Clearly sbe understood that Tuck was dragging them back to tho dance, for fear that her behavior might cause an unpleasant riot. And then, madly, aha felt herself danc ing, laughing, kidding. Yes, she knew all that. Quite clearly. She knew she was tight, and gloried In It. She knew she was scandalous end shocking, and rereled In tbe thought. ... She want ed terribly to get tlghtor bunnled, really blotto, for what did she caret Who cares about anybody! What did anybody matter but a good timet Sbe lost Tuck In thu crowd some how, and was glad of It. She found other boys, and lost them or left tbem, and was gladdor still. Ir ritably she faced Betty every quarter- or halt-hour and stamped her foot at Betty's summering pro tests. . . . Until finally, long eftor her little wrist watch bad slopped at one a. m., Hope folt suddonly 111. III. and old, and tired. Across the room she sought Bet ty, and explained that sho tins going over to the fraternity houia and turn In. With remarkable dignity, but quite minus a wrap which seemed too difficult to trace, Hope made her way across the well-!;nown and memory-laden campus tiinurd the fraternity hous, Two iUir dowu from Dlckej-'a frntarnlty oulj two doors away, , . . Groping, unheeding to any sound or word, she pushed through the door and made for Turk's mom, en teredand found Tuck himself! Tuck was seated iual on the floor, a Hat trunk pulled fr?m under his cot. contents strewn all ever the floor. He looked up, aghast, well aware of the rule that kept boys out of the fnternlty houses when Rlrls visited. With a mostunidyllko, uu-Ross ly whoop of laiiRhlf r, Hop slammed the door and throw herm-ir tiendlong acros tho cot, her fare ilnngllng down toward Tuck as he knelt on the floor, DRIVE AGAINST NANKING, China.

TVhatcha lookln' for, in boy!" gurgled Hope In bigh amusement Tuck grinned In appreciation. It suddenly dawned on him. "You're plastered," be wagged an admonishing linger at her. "Nobly," admitted Hope with a proud toss of her bead. "Here! Don't put tbe things back Into your trunk. What you looking fort" "I got to get out of here. I'm not supposed to be In the house where the girls are," breathed Tuck anx iously as be worked to repack bis trunk hastily. "Aw, shucks I Balderdash and poppy seed!" protested Hope amia bly. "No harm will come to you, U'l feller. I don't bite. Look I'll help you search!" With one energetic scramble Hope got to her feet and snapped off the lights. "There, It'll be lots simpler to find It In the dark," she giggled teaslngly, "Hey, you," shouted Tuck. "Put that light ont You darned little fool!" In the darkness he made toward tbe electric switch, and bumped squarely Into Hope. Tbelr beads bit with a resounding crack. Tuck heard one Arm meaningful knock on tbe door, and before he could reach for the light, he saw tbe door swing open and a figure appeal with Twosome Joining In. silhouetted against the ball lamps A dread figure. . . . A dread voice speaking. , . . Tuck's hand found the switch, and tho sudden glow of light In the room made blra blink, the stern and pained face of the chaperon stand ing, shocked and angry, at thi throshold. The light Jerkod Hope Into action. Teara were In her eyes, streaming down her face, as sbe turned to the white-haired chaperon In the door way. "He wouldn't have acted that way If he didn't core, would bet" sbi cried hysterically, one band out ward In urgent appeal. "He wouldn't be drinking llko a rattlesnake, and beat It like a shot Just because I was coming, would be!" Vaguely she realized the cold dis dain of tho chaporon'a eyes, and her hand dropped with a gesture of ut ter futility. Then auddenly Tuck's voice cut In on nor with shocking virility. "What kind of line are you pull ing!" shoutod Tuck disgustedly. "Can't you sbut up! Aren't things looking bad onough! Can't you see what's happened! I'm ept to be ex pelled now bacauao of you!" One short utck word from the chaperon. Ons nrm whltoly on Tuck's arm. And Hope, staring and uncomprehending In hor heavy, half-sodden so:, saw both leave the room, and stared around her with thick, unhappy puzilement. Would h:' bed ever stop pound ing!
