CHAPTER Vm TTELEN and Bill moved down the winding Skelton drive way, their footstepa whispering in the dead leaves. Overhead a big yellow moon ah one to the jet No vember aky. BUI (aid disconsolately, "Well, I guess that makes me the year's prize sap falling for a line like Sot's." He paused, fumbling for Helen's hand. "What made you come after me tonight?" Drowsy conscience. He told me why you were dating Dot But, Bill, I suspected all along. I dldnt see how you could be so nice to me, then turn around and chase Dot I was pretty sore when Drowsy told me, but cot so much that I dldnt want to help you." "Gosh, that was swell of you," Bill murmured. "I ought to be booted from here to Clayton for trying a stunt like that X hurt you and Buck and dldnt accom plish a thing." ' "Dont blame yourself, BUI. You were doing it for Buck." "It was a lousy trick," BUI said. "And it just lsnt the way to tackle a problem. You've got to hit 'em head on." "It's late," Helen said as Bill's footsteps slowed. "We ought to be getting home." "Not yet" Bill pleaded. "I I've got to talk over some things ..." "I don't really want to go home, Bill," she admitted. "I never do when I'm with you." "I feel the same way. Ifs like I told you once, Helen. A fellow can believe impossible stuff when you talk to him. Gee, I ha vent seen you In a long time and . . . They stopped in the yellow moonlight and Bill kissed her. They walked on in silent com munion. "Impossible stuff . . ." Helen murmured. "Bill, are you sure we've tried every way to get Buck a hearing before the board?" "You heard what Mr. Skelton aid." "I know, BIH, but ha doesnt have the whole say." "He's president tat bet Ha and Peskin run the board." . Helen wrinkled her brow. "But who runs Mr. Skelton and Mr. Peskin, BUI?" Bill shook his head. "I don't let you." "ShamtP Helen laughed. TouTe been sleeping in political science class. Ifs the people, Bill Helen Offers a Plan To Force the Board r i a ..t ii o Listen ro duck H-like your father and my brother. The board only works for them. Of the people say, We want Buck (Mentor then the board has to give in. That's democracy." ' "Hmm." Bin was doubtful. "Sow are you going to get the people to yell lor Buck?" "A free press," Helen said pro foundly, then giggled. "Say, I ound like the Bill of Bights, don't U7 But it's true, allL The Clar lion's pretty wonderful when you icome right down to it It fought lagainst a bum coach, and It can Help hire a good one. "Pat Hurly!" Bfll exclaimed. "Remember the remark be made bout Buck at the stadium that eight?" "Do you suppose you could see Dim, Bill?" "You bet I can try, Helen! Ill ut classes in the morning and go up to the Clarion." Helen was excited. "WeTl get Drowsy to talk to the squad and get them to work on their par ental" "Oh, boy." Bill grinned. "The people speak ... we hope!" "TJILL, I almost forgot to ten you. Buck's been taking pic tures of West's games. Well, I mean he showed us how. Drowsy took some and I shot a few. They're good. Bin. They show everything Landis has been doing wrong." "I wonder why Buck did that?" "He said he wanted to try out the camera, but I think he hoped'' "That's It!" BUI shouted. "He thought he might get a chance to show them to the board." They had retraced their steps as they talked end were passing the drug store. Peskin had gone and the place was in darkness. A coupe stood at the curb, motor idling. "Look, Bill," Helen whispered. I"lsn't that someone trying the door of the drug store?" The man turned, saw them. "Guess the place's closed up," he muttered, then jumped into the car and was gone. "Funny," Bill said. "Anyone ssould see that the store was closed. (What do you suppose he was look tog for?" "Did you notice that he was i stuffing something in his pocket? ilt looked like a burlap sack." "The sack bandit?" BUI shook; 'his head. "He always pulls his hold-ups when there's someone around to hand over the cash." "Maybe that's why he was star ing into see if Mr. Peskin was still there." "Maybe." BIU said. "But what's the difference? We've got' more 'important things on our mind." . FTHXY talked eagerly of their ' plans until they were nearly home, then Bill said, "Helen, how much chance do you think we have of putting this over?" "Why, BUI?" "Well, Pva got to decide some thing pretty Important Today old Peskin fired me for socking Bui lethead." "Bill, that's a shame! What are you going to do?" "The worst of it Is, Buck wants to take a job in the east" Ha showed her the letter and ex plained its contents. "If I mall this, we might as weU give up lour idea. Once Buck's given his word . . ." Helen stopped in front of a mailbox. "We'd better decide be fore we go any further, BilL Dldnt you tell me ence that an operation might cure Buck?" BUI nodded. "If he keeps quiet stays to his chair until it's time." "But if he drives a car and calls on prospects , . ." BIU Mentor stared down at the sidewalk, swallowed hard. "Yep. That's how it is, Helen." "Dont do it Bill!" Helen's voice ttss sharp. "If you drop that let ter in the box, you'U never forgive yourself." "But Helen, suppose I dont get another job? Suppose this plan of ours fizzles? Neither Buck nor I win have a job." Helen caught Bill's jacket shook him hard. "You'U get by, Bill. Dont you see? Anything better than having Buck lose his legs forever. You cant let him accept the job. He's only doing It for you, BilL" He had never deliberately gone against Buck's wishes. He bad always accepted the older man's judgment as final. Suppose he I didn't mail the letter and they had I to accept help? Charity 1 BUI shuddered. Buck would hate that ... "Helen," he said tensely, "I've just got to mall It I cant go against Buck. Hell ask me and I cant lie to him." Helen said, "BIU, you cant put nun in that chair for life. He' too grand." BiU's finger tightened around the letter, crushing it Into a tight ball. He stuffed it Into his jacket "I I can't mail it Helen," he said to a choked voice.
