Upon th teat fty we Kail another teat) Of m bleid built or ttoo-o-o-of ' Dun Hogan sane that, with Interpolation, In a deeply Texan basso as ha pedaled in the same rhythm out toward the athletic field. Behind him clung what could have been mistaken for child. She sat on the rigid package carrier over the fender, her shapely legs held forward so toes wouldn't touch the ground. Her dark curls reached hardly up to his shoulder. She clung to his cadet uniform belt. g."l like it better this wayT she laughed back at his sally. "If we really had a bicycle built for two, I'd have to help pedal!" j- "Sol You want a man to do all the work!" ' "Sure thing!" 1 "Oughta be ; a law against women." - "Men would soon repeal It" I "Oh-h-h-h no they wouldn't I" ' "Oh-h-h-h yes they would!" You could cut up thus with Duane Hogan; happily, youthfully; en the rare occasions when you could be alone with him. He never said very much, never talked like some men. But his strength and good humor per vaded his whole life. It was one reason why BIythe loved him. One reason for being frantic be ' cause he had never shown any love for her in turn. Tm gonna be disgraced if the gang sees me riding girl's bike," be lamented now. 'Towing a girt" "It was your Idea," she re minded him. "I never could think. Papa al ' ways said I ought to be a " "So, you admit itl" "Hush! Or 111 make him buck . you off." "This isn't a horse. This Isnt your ranch, either; this is Lincoln boulevard, mister!" "Nnnn!" He pretended to growl. JJACK of their easy banter was the knowledge that each con cealed serious thoughts. Duane faced a deadly earnest business of learning to fight in the air. More Immediately, he nursed a burning desire to win a football game this week, because his be loved coach and friend, Pop Mil ler, was in some kind of trouble. BIythe had hinted of that trouble. Be thought he understood; Pop wanted to beat State U. again, this time as a flying-field coach. And here he was sick in bed. : When Duane was silent for a block or so, BIythe turned seri ous too. "Duane," aha asked, surprising ly; "do you have a pistol?,'' "Do I hunh?" j "Please, Tm not Joking." 'r ; "Sure I have. But why?" "Never mind. Would yon lend It to me?" "Whatcha gonna shoot? Japs?" "I am not joking, Duane." .' "Okay, men, ni bring it over, tftonlght" "Thanks so much." "But Tm still curious. After aS, lady, a gun " . "Ifs for Pop." ,j "Pop? . . . What's a gun got to Ido with winning a game?" "I I don't know! . But, Duane please! We're friends, you and Pop and L You you better Just trust us. And not say anything." - He considered that, pedaling in powerful, deliberate strides. "Hmm," he murmured. "Where I come from, pistols are used to to" "I know. It scares me, too. But Pop asked me to borrow one. I told you Pop was in trouble, but I don't know enough to tell you what kind." "You don't say V ' He stopped the bike, the better to talk to her. When he turned, his face showed deep concern. "Listen, Bly," he spoke intently, low, "if Pop needs that" he moistened his lips "I mean, if it's that kind of help Pop wants, then let me use the gun! Me!" "Oh, Duane! ... No. No, itH have to be his way, I'm afraid. Until at least until we know more. I do know this much, he needs it for protection. And you must promise to say nothing. To go right out with the rest of the team and be yourself! Under tand? . . . Practice hard and nd kid everybody and keep the iplrit up. Don't let anything spoil the team's morale, even if Pop ihouldn't be able to come!" TIE looked at her a long mo ment, then resumed pedaling again. And BIythe knew he would question her no more. He had already said a great deal more than was his custom. But she couldn't end it quite so abruptly. "Duane, it's kind of personal, I guess. But it concerns Pop and it concerns the team. And it con cerns Nancy Hale." She tacked that last hint on, purposely. Would he now show wild, desperate concern? For the other girl? Bly waited. Duane kept on pedaling as it he had never heard at all. Finally he said, calmly, "I'll stick around. The com mandant has already said I could take my duties easy this week. He meant leave of absence, if needed. I'll stick around, Bly." That's all he ever said about it, and BIythe herself volunteered no more. As to his feelings concern ing Nancy, she had learned ex actly nothing. When Nancy had telephoned, that note of urgency in her voice was definite. But Bly was almost afraid to face her again. Afraid, this time, not because Nancy was making an admitted play for Duane Hogan's love, and had even asked Bly's help in win ning him; but afraid because of what she had overheard on the stairs. Nancy Hale had said "All right" when a gambler's agent had of fered her $1000 to drug two foot ball men! One of them worse was Duane. Not only would Nancy sacrifice team spirit, friendship, all the finer loyalties, but for money she would even sacrifice love it self! Blythe's first quick impulse to expose Nancy had been stifled when she remembered baby Scooter Hale. And, too, there's just naturally something despic able about a tattler. Run quick and get the police after the girl who had stolen her boy friend? No; Bly couldn't bring herself to that Not yet They were nearing Pop's office when Nancy ran outside to meet them. Both Duane and Bly sensed her concern. "Bly," she began at once. "Duane. Listen the field hospital called. Heavy Underwood is hurt! There was a plane crackup at dawn. He and the instructor both hurt And I if Pop Miller is sick, I'm afraid it may the team !" The import of this was obvious. Heavy Underwood was the real power of the Lincoln football line. The great charging center. The team's third man, following only, Norman Dana and Duane. (To Be Continued)' HOLD EVERYTHING! com, ihi rt m untt. twe T.n,ttmwT, w.
