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.
