VTRAXGK VISITOR CHAPTER VII A ITER that U. S. O. danc for "the cadets at Lincoln, "every body" seemed to know that Duane Hogan was rushing pretty Nancy Hale. The newspaper columnists abetted the people in spreading the talk. And it made doubly good news because big Duane from A. and M. College was notoriously girl-shy. Only Duane himself seemed not to hear the news. Happiest of all was Nancy Hale. The young widow who had known so little of gaiety and good times now seemed to find them served to her with figurative whipped cream. The cadet flyers were all boys just out of college. To be among them, to live in a "loft" apartment over their gymnasium, to work as secretary for their coach this was little short of per fect Her baby son Scooter had gifts and attentions showered on him. He had not one but two, complete if diminutive, Lincoln football uniforms, and it was known that both he and his mother would be on the Lincoln bench at every game. It was "un derstood," too, that they would sit by Duane, during such moments as he wasn't in action. After Thursday's dance, Nancy end Blythe Miller- had become rather intimate again. It . made Blythe uncomfortable, bift it couldn't be helped. Blythe was Upstairs with Nancy for lunch on Friday noon. "Darling," Nancy spoke Impul sively once, from deep in her heart, "I have to thank you again ! or helping me. I don't know what ell you said to him, or what you ;.' did. But I'm making progress!" She winked, knowingly, in inti : mate girl-to-girl style. It made Blythe want to cry out In anger, or in frustration and tears, having thus to hear mis taken thanks. She hadn't spoken to Duane! She hadn't done any thing to "help" Nancy Hale win him! Indeed, she had pledged . herself bitterly to go out and compete with Nancy at every turn. And yet-rshe hadn't been able to. V Something inside her had kept her tied. And now that Nancy was unwittingly torturing her with this appreciation I , TT was during this same noon hour when Nancy's bell rang, and she called down for Duane to come on up and visit Blythe felt a moment of panic. "But that's silly!" she forced her self to think. "After all, I have known Duane for two years. I I had him for a friend before she -did. Maybe" this was wishful thinking even though she wouldn't admit it "maybe, he regards her v as just a friend, too. Even If ha did send her orchids." ." Duane was coming through the door. He was grinning like a little boy. Baby Scooter, who had "been exploring under the bed, Sheard him and came whooping Sand shrieking in glee. "Hi, feller!" Duane boomed out. l"Hello, Bly! Hello! . . , Look here, iScooter, old man!" . . i Scooter old man paused in as jtonishment , ... - . I Duane was squatting on one jheel, cowboy fashion. The two jgirls looked on entranced. Wrig igling, licking, panting, snuggling 'in big Duane's arms were two . Ihuge fuzzy ears, behind which Iwas an unmistakable puppy. ! "OO-O-oooooo!" j Scooter breathed it involuntar ily. It was as if he had burst in 'unexpectedly upon Santa Claus. : That was the kind ' o thing which endeared Duane Hogan to everybody, Blythe knew. He never talked much; indeed, he was some thing of a mystic, as young men go. But a girl could sit happily ,with him for hours if need be; jjust sit. Blythe herself had done nt In his car, or her own,' back when cars were common. In the (library. In the theater. Any jwhere. "Strong, silent westerner," ;they kidded him about it, -and he 'would only show his slow, self iconscious grin.. I'T'HE newsmen who came out for : that Friday practice before the Aggie game took pictures of ;Scooter in uniform holding big eared "Link." That name was short for Lincoln, and good enough for a Cocker pup who stumbled :all over himself.. He wasn'.t any bigger than the old football that Coach Pop Miller gave him and Scooter to ploy with, and he was about the same color as the ball. He had a leash made from shoe strings which .he chewed inter mittently. Between times, he chewed Scooter; or strained with sundry yappings to follow big Duane Hogan around the field. Duane holding Scooter on a shoulder, with Link on top ot Scooter in turn, Anally "made the photograph that the newspapers used. They put it on the front page, too. Everybody everywhere was learning about the pretty Hale widow, the baby Hale son, and now the dog three mascots of tha Lmcoln Field team. But nobody, except Blythe herself, seemed to understand how thoroughly and painfully those three had replaced violeUeyed Blythe Miller, tha eoech'ji- daughter. - as--unofflclaJ mascot and heart-Interest of the team. All of this was excellent if un intentional build-up for tomor row's game with the Aggies one of the two main events ot the season for the Lincoln team. Ten days after the Aggie battle, they'd have to tackle State U. Because of Pop Miller's prestige, the Lin colns had collected the most cadet players, eager young men "raring to fly and raring to play football" as Duane Hogan put it They'd have to play In the big municipal stadium in order to handle the crowds, but that was all right What wasn't all right was the undertone of gambling. Up and down the "uglier" streets of the city, bookies and crooks in general were taking advantage of the Lincoln team's publicity, too. It hurt Pop Miller, who couldn't do anything about it . On this Friday afternoon, Nancy was downtown doing an errand for Pop, her employer, when Pop's office door opened an inch or two. Pop looked up. A man with a derby and two visible gold teeth came in. He wore an overcoat with turned-up collar. He was quick-eyed. He looked every where, fast, then closed the door behind him. "You all alone, eh?" he asked Pop, low tone. "Why, uh yes. But" Pop was somehow suspicious. "Okay, Pop, listen." The title didn't sound respectful, coming from this man. He spoke raspily, not in the hearty happy-go-lucky manner usually heard here in the gym. "Dont believe I remember your name, sir," Pop said. "Take a chair there and " "Ne mind that. Least talk the better. Right down to facts, sea. Business. . . . Nobody listening. Nobody seen me come in here, see. But here's an em-elope with flva grand in it." "Five five gr " "Yehl You git it! Five fousand dollars, Popl You're smart AU you gotta do see to it the Lincoln team don't win!"

She reported to police the 'man bound her to a chHlr, gag ged her securely and then helped himself tb'a meal from the fam ily refrigerator.
