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

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

Across the room she sought Bet

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

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

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

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.
