CHAPTER X
r' tu still drinling next morn
ing. Paula dressed hurriedly,
trying to shut out the melancholy
burble of the rain in the spouting.
Several of the girls were having
late breakfast and talking excit
edly of the stench bombing. Eag
erly they turned to Paula for in
formation, but the refused to be

"The less (aid about ft the bet
far,1 she murmured.
Paula gulped her coffee and left
Protected by a transparent sreen
rain cape, she walked to the hos
pital.
Tony was sitting up in bed. Ex
cept for pain shadows under his
eyes, he looked fit. He greeted
Paula a bit shyly.
"I was hoping you'd come,
Paulia. I tried to talk them into
letting me out today, but no go.
I feel swell."
-I'm glad you're okay, Tony,"
she smiled.
"I I guess I was a little out of
my head last night. If I said any
thing I shouldn't ."
"You needn't worry about that."
Paula said, and changed the sub
ject abruptly. "The weather's
nasty."
Tony said, "Chris was here
early. He seemed to want to taik
about last night, yet he acted as
if he were afraid to. Do you think
be might be protecting someone?"
Paula started. . "Who, Tony?"
He shrugged. "The League
crowd, maybe. Chris met some of
the boys from the house in the
halL They almost got into a scrap.
I tried to cool them down. If they
go after the League now they'll
play right into Big Barney's hands
... You know, Paulie. I've been
lying here thinking and I've got
Tenks doped out. Ever wonder
why that shot of Kilo was light
struck? If Big Barney hasnt an
Interest in the scandal sheet Jenks
works for, I'll eat it!"
"You think Bill was sent here
to make trouble?"
"It's just another hunch. At any
rate, we don't want him to get
bold of this story."
Tony, tossing restlessly as he
spoke, had disarranged his pillows.
Paula moved to plump them back
Into shape. Tony protested, but
she rolled him over and lifted the
pillows. Beneath them was some
thing that made her gasp a brijht
blue scarf.
Paulie, I didn't want you to'
that," Tony said.
In one comer of the scarf were
raie initials C E. V. "It belongs
ho Chris," Paula whispered.
rWhere did you get it, Tony?"
"I'd rather not say. It might not
(be his."
"Chris's middle name is Ed-
rward." Paula said flatly. "Tony,
Iplease tell me the truth."
i "One of the fellows found it in
Khe shrubbery beside the house."
"That means . . ."
Tony shrugged. "Chris might
Save lost it days ago."
"He he had it on the other
iaftemoon," Paula was turning the
feearf in numb fingers. Then she
began to pluck at the silk. "Look
here, Tony! These tiny strands of
Scarlet wooL" I
"What about them?" '
"Tony," Paula said, her hazel
fcyes glowing, "suppose Chris
(loaned this to . someone?"
; "Could be," Tony admitted. "But
Iwhy ?"
Paula tried to catch him off
guard: "Did you see a girl last
night when you ran out?"
"Why?" Tony countered.
"Okay, Tony, be a gentleman.
But I know one person who wears
a scarlet brushed wool sweater.
I'm going to see her!"
a
TTILO SHERWOOD roomed at a
private home in Cardman
Center. She was In bed when
Paula arrived, and came down
stairs attired in an expensive
black negligee.
"Nice of you to return my call
so soon," she said coolly. "1 sup
pose you've come to tell me it's
bad for Chris to be out on rainy
nights?"
! Paula bit her lip. "You'd like
(me to think he was with you all
(evening? "
"I can't see how It even con
Kerns you."
I "But I don't think Chris was. I
(think, the night being damp and
(chilly, you borrowed his scarf."
Paula had the satisfaction of
seeing Kilo stiffen. "You can't
prove that."
"Perhaps not," Paula admitted,
"but we both know it's true." She
bent forward, meeting Kilo's in
solent gaze with her steady hazel
eyes. "Let's talk girl to girl, Kilo."
"You talk, I'll listen," Kilo said.
"We're both terribly fond of
Chris," Paula said. "I'm pretty
sure you don't want to see him in
trouble. Some of the boys from
Tony's house know about the scarf.
If Dr. Van Horn finds out . . ."
"Van Horn won't do anything."
Kilo was contemptuous. "He's too
much afraid of losing his job to
stir up any trouble."
"I think you're wrong about the
5octor. But even if he doesn't do
(anything, Tony's friends will. They
ffnight give Chris a beating or even
un him out of school.
Kilo's face lost color. "You're
only trying to frighten me.
her wouldn't dare harm Chris."
"jney wouldnt dare harm a
flrl," Paula said quietly. "Tell the
utn. Kilo."
Kilo arose abruptly, "It won't
ork, she said. I just don t
(frighten that easily. Come again
(when you can slay longer."
MAKE READY.
r ACK at the Gamma Tau house
" Paula found a letter from her
father. He had been called to New
Oilcans on important business and
wouldn't be able to come to Card
man for Commencement, but he
enclosed a check to compensate
for his absence.
The following morning when
Paula went to the hospital the re
ceptionist told her that Tony had
been discharged. "He left just a
few minutes ago. Miss JefTers. I
think he has an appointment with
Dean Larson."
Paula flung herself out the door.
Half way across the campus she
found Tony.
"I'm kind of wobbly yet," he
grinned.
"Tony, where are you going?"
Her startled eyes saw the strip of
blue silk that protruded from his
pocket.
"Why. to tell Dean Larson about
the bombing. He sent word to the
hospital that he wanted to see
me."
"But the scarf. Tony?" Paula
asked. "You're not going to show
that to Dean Larson?"
Tony said kindly, "Look, Paulie.
I've talked everything over with
Dr. Lud. Confidentially, of course.
We figured it was best to give
Larson the facts."
"And put all the blame on
Chris!" Paula flared. "Tony, I tell
you he didn't hit you. It was . . .
well, it wasn't Chris."
"Something's got to be done."
Tony said gravely. "Larson and
Van Hom are trying to get to the
bottom of this trouble. We owe
it to them to give them all the in
formation we've got."
"And you call yourself Chris's
friend!" A furious resentment
boiled within Paula. Tears of dis
