CHAPTER IH
TfATCHING Chris" tall f irore
disappear across the. campus,
Paula Jcllers thought, "Kissed and
stood up all in on dar! No girl
ahould take Siat from a man."
Yet aha was more anxious than
tnfry, more hurt than resentful.
Chris was still Chris, and you
CDUldnt take him at face value.
Son had to go deeper . , .
Aimlessly Paula strolled toward
the village, of Cardman Center.
The mala street slumbered in a
svn hare of sunshine. In front
M the Sweetland a small blue
Mope caught her eye. Recognix
tog It as Bill Jenks', Paula ab
ruptly decided to have a cup of
coffee.
Later the Sweetland would bus
tle with students, but now it was
dusky and quiet as a crypt A
squat, ugly man sat in one of the
booths. He was occupied with a
sandwich, but his roving eyes
missed nothing.
Paul took a deep breath. If, as
Tony suspected. Bill was after a
story about the League she wanted
to know why.
-Hello, Bill."
Jenks hid his surprise behind a
fcrooked grin. "Hello, there, honey.
Have some coffee?"
Thanks." Paula seated herself
opposite him. "I don't believe you!
remember me." (
His tiny eyes studied Paula,;
from her shining bronze hair to;
her slim ankles. "I've got it now.!
You're the little gal the Gamma I
Taus sent to New York last year
to make a speech." ,
That's right," Paula said. "You:
gave us a grand write-up. I de-j
eided right then if I ever heard
of a good story. I'd let you know."
Jenks cocked his head. "Some
thing cooking on the campus?"
Paula nodded. "I'm not sure H
Wight to mention K . . ."
"Go on, honey," Bill urged. Tf
rotrre womed about getting your-i
self in Dutch, forget it I wouldntl
last long in this game if I let myi
gnenas aown.-
"I I really havent much,"!
Paula confessed. "It's about thai
League."
Bill Jenks hunched forward
No fooling? Say, that's a coinci-l
tnencet I came over here to'
Paula feigned disappointment!
Oh, then you already know about
"Maybe," Jenks said. -Look,!
noney, you go in heavy for this
sorority stuff. Naturally you don't
sure tne Lague7"
"Naturally," Paula agreed.
"Swell! Then it wouldn't break
four heart if the League got in
jam?-
"Why do you ask that?" Paula
toontered.
"I have just had an idea," Jenks
aid slyly. "But maybe you'd bei
an-aia to tackle it."
"Tackle what?"
"Well, it's like this, honea- rv.
been working on this League story,
eniite a while. I know when andl
where they meet I know that a!
fsl named Kilo Sherwood is the'
big shot of the outfit I"
Paula broke in doubtfully. l
WD cant see why a big city news-i
paper snouia Be so interested In
the League."
"Don't try," Bill snapped. "A
tpretty girl like you needn't worry
about angles: leave that to m i
The point is, I'm going to sit in!
in a &ecrei meeting oi the League)
Fonignu m you want to go-
"What for?" Paula gasped.
Bill grinned enigmatically. "I

"There it is," Bill said, pointing,
to a huge, dilapidated barn.;
"Headquarters for the League.!
Sumptuous, eh?"
Abruptly Paula wondered if the
whole affair wasn't pretty silly. It:
was hard to imagine a bunch of i
rrown-up college students holding!

Jenks said, "It's ringside seats

'"The interior of the bam was!
Tank with the odor of moldy hay. I
It was still light enough to see and '
Pill Jenks pointed out a big bale:
of hay.
"There's Just room enough to
squeeze in here," he said. "Now :
you write down the names of:
everyone you know." i
"Arent they going to be pretty
angry if they , , ." Paula's voice
shook.
"They wont find us." Bill said.
"There's a door just behind. When '
IVe heard enough I'll squeere
your arm. You get started. I'll
grab a shot of this bunch and run
for it." Jenks held up his finger.
"Sfhh."
rFHE barn door whined. Someone
struck a match. The soft yel
low glow of a kerosene lamp filled
the place with dancing shadows.
Two boys whom Paula had seen
around the campus entered.
More students began to arrive.
Presently there were 25 or SO
squatted on the hay-strewn floor.
A girl asked. "Where's Kilo? She's
bringing a new member tonight"
As if in reply, the door opened
and Kilo Sherwood's hair made a
bright spot in the gloom. Chris
Wentrich, looking amused, walked
by her side.
Paula could tell by the expres
sion on Chris's face that he was
taking the whole affair as a lark.
A part of him, she thought had
never grown up, and it was this
part that loved a secret meeting
in an old barn.
Kite said, facing the group,
"Meeting called to order. Before
presenting our new member, I
want to say this: The League has
grown stagnant We've allowed
President Van Horn's stuffy order

"We promised ourselves to do
our own thinking and to act on
our honest convictions, but In
few weeks many of us will leave
Cardman with our mission unrul
tilled. We swore to fight fraternity
rule and the administration tha
backs it, but the Greek-letter out
fits are stronger than ever . . ,
aaa
T ISTENING, Taula found herself
paying no attention to Kilo's
words, but giving her whole at
tention to the deep, husky voice.
There was witchery m it an al
most hypnotic quality.
Presently Kilo finished and
called to Chris. Bill Jenks
squeered Paula's arm. She heard
him fumbling with his camera.
She saw bmern light reflected in
the flash bulo as he raised it
Paula grabbed for the camera, but
Jenks was too quick for her. He
gave her a shove that sent her
spinning from the hiding place.
She wns on her feet in an in
stant running to warn Chris. Just
as she reached him the flash bulb
exploded. P.idemonium held the
barn, then there was a concerted
rush for Bill Jenks, but Bill Jenks
was gone.
Chris faced Paula, his mouth
tight-set "A dirty trick like this
seems a little out of your line,
Paulie."
She said. "Chris, you you dent
think ... I tried to protect you.'
rvi:o c,nerwooa s laugh was
scornful, angry.
Chris said sullenly, "T hate
meddlers. Paulie. even if they're
supposea to oe my pals!"
