"Why didn't you come sooner?"
"Couldn't No time to explain."
She waa trembling with emotion.
"Let's get behind the crowd where

"Ton shouldn't hare brought

''Who? Dicky Dak?"
"Then you'll be Mrs. Dak?"
"Don't be too certain. But his

be escorted. Why are you going?
That's wbat 1 must know. Are you
tunning away from me?"
"Probably."
"It's wrong of you, darling. H

be different"
"Do you mean you'd give him

"ttiu If you don't agree now"
She brofci from him. As her foot
touched lb ta-plak she darted
back and nuif twr arms wildly
about him.
"Don't bate roa."
"My own," he wnUpered.
Raisin? her face, reclrlear of spec
tators, she kissed blm full on the
mouth a sweetheart's 'Jos. Then
turned to discover that her forgot
ten fiance had been watching.
She alt so young and defenceless
that she could bare howled. There
beyond the barrier stood Dicky Dak,
who had the right to spank her If
ever a man had. The worst of It waa
that there was no way ot avoiding
him. Dicky seemed to know more
about her than she knew about her
self. She'd tried In Tain to surprise
him. She'd accepted his proposal at
least partly for the tun of discover
ing how an older man would react.
Thla time she was sure she'd sur
prised blm. She'd surprised herself.
Were he to leave her to struggle
home alone. It was no more than
she deserved. As for breaking tbe
news to him ot the full extent of
her treachery, that was ou. of tbe
question,
Gathering her opera-cloak about
her, she minced through the barrier
in a mood oddly abashed and de
fiant. ,
"Well, that'i over!" Dicky greet-
Clive full on the mouth.
ea her with unruffled countenance.
So he wasn't going to begin the
row In public! From sheer relief
she could have hugged him.
He tucked an arm' through hors
and raised his hat
"Your friend's waving, Santa."
She didn't look back. Daren't.
Her beart was bursting. And bere
she waa with thla unwanted man on
her honda whom nhik'A hnnn iHlnt

In a crowded elevator she de
scended to the dreary dock front
that amelt of garbage. Her escort
seemed a policeman conducting her
to the patrol-wagon. He waa band
ing her Into their waiting automo
bile and spreading a robe about her.
"Up-towa," he ordered -he driver.
As he took his place beside her he
oxplalnod, "We'll have a hop at a
night club."
Now that she waa locked In with
him, the drama ot the situation

Suspicious that Clive waa being
belittled, she countered, "Novelty's
not everything. About you I know
next to i.othlng."
"You will."
She stopped sobbing.
"You're not Jealous. You don't
sound angry."
"Did you think I waa rnln? in

"You treat me like a baby."
"Ifa all you are, darling."
"You may put your arm about me.
You're the kindest man I ever met
I've choated. May I toll you?"
She drew a long breath.
"I've promised Clive I'll marry
him."
"I guessod you had."

Dr. O. P. Miles, conference president,
suggesting that "rules relative to
summer baseball have' been long
rather loosely administered."
"As faculty representatives have In
many cases failed to furnish Hits of
prohibitive teams as provided by the
commission," the telegram said, "I
wonder whether you should take
counsel of executive committee
whether students should be disquali

not been more than three games a
