Then go to 12 Lincoln Field .- authorities, because this being an Array post, they should have the information along with police. And, too, this would bring double prosecution or something down on Nancy Hale's headl Thus BIy reasoned out her course of action, sitting up there in the stadium . press box. She ' realized suddenly that her hair must look terrible and that her face would be streaked and red from crying. '.:' "But I dont care!" she whis pered defiantly, to herself. "Some- " body else's face is going to be ; redder than mine!" She thrilled a little before some more mental pictures. Nancy Hale behind bars. Nancy Hale standing on the inside of a prison cell rattling the iron door, her once pretty face hollow like an old hag's and her hair matted and stringing down to her hips. It wasn't a nice picture and it wasn't even accurate; Nancy's hair was short and naturally curly, never given to ugly strings! But BIy wasn't concerned with either nicety or accuracy in her imagin ing; she was concerned with re venge.' However, having hsd It thus vicariously for a fleeting minute or two, the revenge seemed to our in her own mind. All at once she felt badly again, and resumed her sobbing there on the reporters' long table. . This will never do!" she snapped at herself then, straight ening up determinedly, "She has it coming to her. Every bit of it!" Only now did it occur to Blythe to envision punishment for the gamblers who " had approached Nancy. But then the gamblers hadn't fallen in love with Duane Hogan! " Blythe's conscience gave her a sly little- probing, to the effect that she wasn't so concerned with justice after all. Blythe slapped the conscience back in its place by thrusting her lip and chin out poutily and getting up to leave the stadium.. . . ...... . n a. rpHE firm chin and pout were still dominant, as she climbed Idown the vast sea of empty seats. She would just go over the band stand, she decided, . and cut across Khe lime-striped field itself a di- jrect line to her bicycle. But when she dropped from the cement rail' one to the ground "Bool . . .' "Yap-yap-yap-yap- Wpe!" , . ' Scooter Hale and his shadow, long-eared Link, suddenly tackled her. They had been exploring down there. . They ' dived for Blythe's- ankles, hugging .her, laughing, barking, confident of her love. You couldn't do anything with babies like this! 'Anyway she had quite forgotten about aittle Scooter. . - In a moment she was hugging (them, rather miserably; but loving (hem none the less. She stared off at the corner of Pop's office. Link was licking her neck and chin. Scooter was, making happy noises. . Blythe decided she' had better go home and think or something belore going direct to the police. It was almost noon before BIy let the bike kickstand on her front porch. She had ridden miles, aimlessly. . She went directly in " to Pop's bedroom and found that he had not much sign; of a cold any more. "Where Is your coat, sister?"' he demanded. BIy swallowed. She had forgot ten it! Left it at his office. On a wintry November day She had not missed it "I took it off," she said, in real . rx misleading truth. : "You opened the office?- Nancy has things in hand now? ' " . "I yes, Pop Sure!" '" "I will go out this af.c-r-oon myself." . "No, nol YouTl do nothing of the Rindl You promised!" "Well tomorrow morning then. t have a task." "I know, but " "You don't know-- everything, BIy." , "No." "What?" "I said-oh, Pop!" -.- lite gazed at her Intently. He must surely have seen the distress in her face, and this frightened her inside. She mustn't upset him! Not with him already in bed, and with the State game just three days away. The cadets needed him. Needed his masterly pres ence and poise); his shrewd judg ment on the field, ... a . Opto forced ' herself to smile. - Then promptly talked too fast, revealing herself more . clearly than ever. Pop waited. When she sobered down again, she asked, "Pop, has has anybody been here?" "Hmmm?" "I say has anybody' been well, has anybody been to see 8-ou? Or anything." She was probing blindly. "Hogan was by last evening. . Coming again today, he said. Him and Heavy Underwood. Two of i my best. With Underwood play ing center, Dana at quarterback and Hogan at half, no other team in the world can " "I know. But I meant any bodyl Any man, or anything." , She wasn't good at it and die gave it up, lest she have to tell too much. Again she forced her self to turn cheerful for his sake. Her mind kept flying back to baby Scooter and his remarkable charm. Scooter Hale, son ot a man killed at Pearl Harbor. Scooter and Link. Scooter, who surely de served a break in life, a chance to grow up in kindness and strength and wholesome environ ment If his mother were to be convicted and sent to "Honey, have you some time to help me again today?" Pop had Interrupted her thoughts. ' "Of course, Pop! Night or day. You know that" "Mmm." She waited. Oddly, he was star ing off at nothing. The thing was on his mind, too, she realized. She looked closely at him. He had no wheeze, no nasal conges tion. She kept seeing that fat en velope in his office desk. She thought she knew the answer to everything, but she wasn't sure what to do. He had mentioned wanting help. She decided just to wait The doorbell rang in another part of the house, and in a mo ment they heard Mother Miller welcoming a caller. "It's Duane!" Blythe s face brightened. "It is, Pop!" Yes! Uh, honey wait! S-h-h-h! . . . Before be gets in here there may be other of the lads coming and you must do me a favor I we wouldn't want to worry your mother, would we?" . ' "Why no, Pop. Surely not! "Then, BIy honey go over to Cantain Foster. Quiet like, under stand? Tell him i sent you. Tell him tell him Coach Miller wants to borrow a pistol.
