RKSCTJK : CHAPTER n WHAK Blythe MiUer mted really focused again the was holding childishly onto the tall of big Luane Hogan's coat while he pumped lire extinguisher. She never really knew how she or the. others got out of the bus and came to be standing here in the rata beside the wrecked coupe. On quick impulse she moved; forward. ,"Bly! No, not Wait Mil. the: flames I" ' - The voice didn't finish. It was Norman Dana, also at her side. He had restrained her. Suddenly then she remembered Pop and the football team that had been in the bus. But when she swung around frantic for them, she saw that the bus was intact, the men all anxiously ready. Pop's bald top with the grayish fringe of hair' all around at the ear level made Mm most visible of all. - He was nearest to her and he spoke calmly now. "Steady, sweetheart, steady!" That was like Pop. Steady. Wise. In spite of his aggressive spirit It was why people loved him, why he made a great foot ball coach. Already he was open ing the team's first aid kit. The bus driver held a flashlight lif z, and next moment Blytho he- .elf was helping Duane and Norman lift a human form out of the coupe. ; . "This Is a woman, a girl," Nor zoan stated, quite unnecessarily. The. screams that had first frozen everybody's .. blood had ceased, but the baby was still wailing. And yet the woman was not unconscious. ! ' T-thank thank you! she managed tremulously. "Scooter Is a Scooter 1" - "Just be quiet," Blythe "coun seled. ."Well lift you." 7 Big Duane seconded that, "Yes,' ma'am. Ifll be easier, if you do." "Scooterl I must have Scooter!'" - They reached for Scooter. Ten derly,", quietly,; he was lifted jthrough the twisted . coupe door, past the teeth of broken glass and . metal;"' Murmurs rumbled through the football players as they crowded up. . "Way he was fixed, I don't be lieve there's a scratch on him," Duane Hogan drawled. "Scooter, eh?" "' ' , - " rpHE mother ipsa crying. Sob's- blng in relief more than cure tting else. Pop made a to-." it. ...) both them Thera wcr? scratched on the woman, f. Lr'-:; finger, a. lot of bruis: a thuro t'.', the forehead whic'a Pop. assure her was not concussion but !C73uld soon be "an eg to laugK r'IM." Scooter ceased yelling and de eloped an interest in the whole proceedings here, eventually even to smiling and trying to talk. He sat in Blythe's loving arms. He rode there when big Duane again lifted the mother and the group led a little procession through thej iront door ol the bus. Norman guided, half lifted Blythe, staying it her elbow. "The back seat," Blythe di-, rected. "It's long enough for her to lie down on. Careful, oh care-' Iful, Duane!" -I Duane put her down tenderly hnd the stranger smiled pale Hhanks. Pop Miller came to finish his work. Blythe piled on blankets land even produced hot coffee from la vacuum bottle. "Cold now?" Blythe asked. . "Shaking. Nerves. I ruess. You're all so kind to us. Is Scooter ?" . . : "Scooter Is sitting happily In Mr. Norman Dana's lap there, sec? holding a football. Norman is All America quarterback from State (U, but currently of the Pilot Re placement Center, Lincoln Field, ike the rest of us." Blythe tried jto say all that casually. Never let hysteria creep into your voice, rop had often counseled. In a little while Blythe shooed tall the others away. Mostly, the men were busy outside. The wrecked coupe had to be moved off the pavement. It had' skidded, leaped, struck hard. But the bus could still run safely. The night storm held more sleet than rain now, . and the hour was drifting on past midnight. - Relaxed at last, the strange girl (tried again to thank them. Blythe thought it best to let' her talk, for nobody could sleep now anyway. There was yet a two-hour run back to Lincoln Field. "This Is the end of everything," the-injured woman sighed. Then she added, rather :punkily, ".'".ut I I can start all over. I will!" ' Blythe waited, then said, "You haven't told us who you are. "I'm Nancy Hale. Mrs. James Wesley Hale." "'How nice. You were riding to cm him, maybe? You and Scoot er?" ,. "No." h Again Blythe waited. It was r.alf a minute before Nancy went on. . "I am a widow. Wesley died at Pearl Harbor. He the car Ecootef's .all I. have! ..Absolutely! all! Even me suitcase is boi rowea, and the the " SHE was about to break down, but Duane came near and he and Blythe made over Iier, pre tending to re-do her bed, asking about Scooter to divert her atten tion. Blythe looked sideways at Duane's face. The big Texan, she realised, was as tender and under standing as he was strong. It tightened Blythe's throat again; she, who had so often felt a lump in her throat and a quickening in her heart whenever Duano Hogan was near. For two years she had 3oved :im, as silently as time itself. And for two years the im pression she, the football coach's "daughter, had made on Duane Ho igan amounted to nothing at all. Tactfully now ho went away again, and took Scooter to hold end help back to sleep in the rock iing motion of the bus. Blythe sat on the floor to be near Nancy iHale and talk low-tone with her lit she wished. "You are all so sweet," Nancy murmured, over and over. "We imight have been killed." "Hush, dear. Everything's tokay." "Scooter's asleep." She raised up to look at her son, three seats forward now. "He's a darling baby." "Yes. I love him so He's 2 years old now. Look at them! That's the way Wesley used to jhold him. The very way!" Blythe said nothing. It was a Itender moment, requiring no words. "That man is he married?" Nancy asked then. "Does he have a child?" Blythe smiled. "No, dear! That's Duane Hogan. He's another foot ball star.' From A. and M. The Aggies. He's he's scared to death of girls, much less married!" Nancy did not smile. She was Btill trembling a nttle from shock. And perhaps from memory, too. She lay back now, gazed up at nothing, "He's he's wonderful," she murmured to Blythe. "The way he holds a bnby. The way he lifted me out of that wrecked car and carried me here. The well, just the way he-rJie is!" Sho said the "is" with so much emphasis that Blythe wholly un derstood her. Understood nd felt a quick premonition that amounted to a literal chill! (To Be Continued) Theater guilds, for the purpose of protecting the rights of ac tors, were formed as early as the fourth century B. C.
