"She she needs money so much, with baby. Scooter and all... . . I can tell people that. I can still be a friend. At least I ean try!" i She Mould fiurely strive to vin dicate Nancy by explaining to the court : Nancy isn't really mean. She Just couldn't be! This sort ' of thinking was about to bring the sobbing again, and Blythe real bed that she could delay no longer. . Action was inescapable bow. She hurried on. . - . Duane couldn't be' located by telephone. She became more des perate. . "Tell him to call!" she pleaded. "No, tell him. to come at once! Tell him to hurry. . . .11 mean ten him it's an emergency. I'm Blythe Miller. At the athletic Held.':. ' ' .' She tried three places and each one assured her of help; But the time was indefinite, and now she hadn't any time to spare t Walk ing back toward the gymnasium rather frantically, if without defi nite aim, she looked at her watch again. It still said 1:13. She listened' to it, holding her. breath. It. was stopped, and she couldn't guess the real time , nowi The gambles were to slip, up ; to Nancy's apartment exactly at S. , She began a frantic run.. What ever should she dot Duane might not get her call . untQ. too late. Perhaps not at alL - At 5:30 or so he would show up for the 'dinner at Nancy's. ..... ' - ! Pop had ordered .no practice today. Be wanted to edge them (off : rigorous . field work so 1 the ' nads wouldn't be too keyed tip or too physically stale. A light dawn workout bad been ordered Instead, then two. good' meals and movie before actual game time tomorrow. " In shorty Pop knew the coaching Job was -mental ; and: emotional; at this stage; it was one basis of Jus ;. great success as a football coach. His players would be scattered to s (the four winds this afternoon. Just ; relaxing, - avoiding any , Jitters. And Blythe couldn't wait until 5 " for Duane; ' -' - . ', "He Just might come to Pop's " office anyway," she said now, in (wishful thinking. TT gave her a destination.. En tering the. hallway, she found j (about 20 other men there. Cadets, (players, ex-players, college alum- .. ini, football fans in general. .A few of them had business of some jktad or other and Pop appeared Ho be swamped. But there was tno Duane. Nancy was obviously lenjoying everything, too. ' The . (note of high-jinks, the feel ' of (good times in the air, was manna Ito her fun-starved soul. Blythe , Isaw her smiling and talking and Oaughlng : at . everybody. Then , iNancy saw Blythe and ran to her. -.' "Oh, Bly, isn't it all Just too (exciting!" she breathed -in quick - (intimacy again. "I love it! I can (never-thank you enough for get ting me this job." i "It . ,. . have you seen . . ..I (mean . . " Bly was incoherent . , -"But I've got to scoot in a little kit, honey. Half an hour at most - Pop said I could. I'm the big hostess tonight, you know.. And . II I guess I'm scared 1" rjBlythe looked quickly at her. "What do you mean?" : "I just am! Imagine me, having Ithe two star players for dinner feuests! Me! I thought about mak ing it a party for all of us. But, . honey Pop wanted them kept kind of quiet You know what I mean. He depends on Duane and Norman so. I want to help him nil I can!" Blythe had to bite her lip hard. Bf .it hadn't been here in a crowd bt men, she couldn't have resisted (tearing into Nancy Hale. As mat . Iters went on, somebody inter rupted them and Nancy went way. Blythe found herself listening to Elmer Summers, the Journal sports editor, without actually (hearing him. The sense of eon . Ifusion in her seemed more and more to press down. Confusion, . nd a vague but desperate urgen cy now. She almost wished that ehe had gone to the police. Sum mers was asking her I direct question, and she could only stare foolishly at him. Suddenly he turned personal. 'T?XCUSE me, Miss Miller," said he, "but I'm afraid you may mot feel so good, hmmmT Matter wf fact, you look like the devil. 1 mean, like you were sick or something. Pop waa , in bed. (Maybe you". , ,, k "oh no "ank you. I mean Hno. I'm all right. I'm Just a . little tired, I guess. And I haven't bad any Itfcich." "That would make even me look pale I Come on and let me buy for you, hmm? I'm safe, you know. Old married man, two kids, and too ugly to be danger ous. Let ma take you over to the bcanery and visit while you eat" ' She smiled wanly, in gratitude. "You're awfully nice, Mr. Sum mers. But I couldn't eat a thing and I'm afraid I " She saw then that it was he who wasn't listen ing. "Who are the dignitaries arriv ing?'' He was looking out a win dow. Blythe looked, too. "Oh!" she gasped. "Say I" Summers' Interest leaped. "I know those guys. Big shots!" Blythe saw two men leaving a itaxi, and yes one had on a derby hat and a turned-up over coat! She caught barely a glimpse be cause Summers, was taller and unconsciously blocked the win dow, and because other men kept pressing around her in the foyer there. But two men in a taxi I She might have thought calmly and known better. The gamblers would hardly have driven up boldly this way. But all she could envision was the two crooks com ing to Nancy's apartment at 5. Crooks who would endanger. the life of a man she loved. The sense of panic throbbed inside her again. . "Wonder what the score is with them?" Summers was saying. "You know who they are? That's Abe Loumann, the heavy-set one on the left, and T. J. Natwick. They practically run Hollywood. Loumann's the big director for World Features, and Natwick Is his talent scout. They don't fool with small pickings, Miss Miller. There's something big in the wind!"
