' KILO CHALLENGED
CHAPTER XIV
"PONY half carried Paula across
the rough field. When they
reached the bam he was breathing
fast but easily. Through the door
they could hear Kilo Sherwood's
voice: . . and so this is our
farewell meeting. . . ."
Tony wasted no time In knock
ing. He gave the door a kick
that burst it open. Alter an in
etant ot shocked silence, the entire
League membership was on its
feet
Kilo recovered first, her green
eyea flaming. '"What is this? An
other Greek-letter invasion?"
Tony said easily, "We're here as
friends. Kilo. You've got to get
out of this barn fast."
Kilo laughed. "What's wrong,
Mr. Beale? Is it going to catch
fire?"
"Worse than that." Tony
mapped. "About 50 fraternity
fellows are on their way here."
"Why should that concern you?"
"Dr. Lud sent us to warn you."
Paula broke in. "He's up the road
trying to atop them."
Tor the first time Kilo deigned
to notice her. "This is an honor.
Miss Jeffers. Vour last visit here
made quite an impression."
"We're giving it to you straight.
Kilo," Tony said. "Either you
break up your meeting or there'll
be trouble. The fellows are in a
bad mood. Someone's apt to get
hurt"
Kilo turned to the Learoe mem
bers. "Do you want to let the fra
ternity boys run us out?"
"No!" It was an emphatic
chorus.
"You see?" Kilo said. "We're
not afraid of a fight. We have
permission to use this bam. We're
holding a peaceable meeting. We
don't intend to let a bunch of
Greek-letter hoodlums chase us
way."
Tony lowered his voice: "Could
ft be. Kilo, that you want this
crap?"
"What do you mean?" '
"Well, it's your last chance to
strike a blow for Uncle Barney,"
Tony said shrewdly. "I wonder
how your faithful members would
feel if I told them why you've
been so active in the League?"
Kilo drew her lovely young face
Into a defiant scowl. For a long
moment her will opposed Tony's
ta silent struggle. The saffron
light of the kerosene lamps showed
Tony's hard-set jaw.
aaa
.TTILO broke the deadlock: "Go
JX ahead, tell them," she chal
lenged. "See how much good it
will do you!"
i "Okay," Tony said, facing the
.group. "Your president says I
.can talk. Will you listen? I prom
ise to make it snappy."
There was a murmur of dis
agreement from the members
which Tony pretended to ignore.
"I want to ask how many of you
remember what Cardman was like
10 years ago? Well, I'll tell you.
Cardman was on the skids. The
professors were second-rate. En
rollment had dropped way down.
:A lot of grabby politicians were
!in control. I know all this be
icause my older brother was here."
Tony paused. Watching him,
Paula felt a surge of admiration
for his poise. Every minute
counted; yet he spoke as calmly
as if he were completely unaware
of the fact.
"Now, look, girls and fellows,"
Tony went on earnestly, "I'm not
going to give you any die-for-dear-old-Cardman'
stuff. But I
doubt if there's one of you that
'hasn't some affection for the
.school. You should have. Today
it's a fine school. When you grad
uate from Cardman you can tackle
any job with confidence."
; "So what?"
, "So who put Cardman back on
its feet?" Tony shouted, banging
'his fist into his pa'.m. "I'll tell
Jfou. It was Dr. Van Horn."
Someone booed the name. "He's
the guy that chased us into this
barn!"
"You're dead wrone about
"that!" Tony retorted. "A politi
cian named Big Barney Sherwood
chased you here. Through Kilo
he's been using you people to
make trouble for Van Horn. He
wants to put some two-bit poli
,tici8n in as president so he can
pull the strings. He and Kilo have
been making saps of you. Ask
Kilo; she won't deny it."
"I do deny it!" Kilo leaped to
Tony's side, her slim body taut.
!"Tony Beale wants to get you out
of here because he knows that if
we run away there won't be any
anti-fraternity League next year."
; Tony backed close to Paula.
rClimb into the loft." he whis
pered, "and see if they're com in?."
' Paula clambered up the ladder.
rThe window of the loft was dust
ihazed and covered with spider i
webs. Shuddering, 6he swept them
away. A procession of headlights
moved along the road. She rushed
(to Tony's side.
i "They're comin?, Tony'"
Tony nodded grimly. "It'll take
them at least 10 minutes to get
organized and across the field."
JILO'S voice meanwhile was
weaving a husky spell over the
League members: "I can deny
(Only part of what Tony Beale's
told you. It's true about Uncle
j Barney. He does want to pick the
next president of Cardman, and
1 1 '11 tell you why."
"AltagirL Kilo!"
"He wants Justice for all at
Cardiruui, Big Barney Sherwood
will put in a president who won't
coddle the Greek-letter societies.
And that's why I've been making
saps' of you, as Tony Beale puis
it! I've been working for Uncle
Barney because he'll make Cani
man a grand college. And that'
important for those of you who
are coming back next year. . . ."
Paula, hearing the ring of sin
cerity in Kilo's voice, thought in
surprise, "Why, she really be
lieves that!"
Now the League members were
standing, giving a loud cheer to
their president. Kilo acknowl
edged the tribute with glowing
eyes.
a
T1AVLA saw Tony's shoulders
slump in defeat. It was use
less to argue further with them
and he knew it. Paula's heart
seemed to drop to her shoetons.
She ran to the loft and, looking
cut. saw the car headlights beini;
extinguished. The fraternity boy
were starting across the field!
Her mind raced as Tony joined
her and said, "We're in for it.
Paulie. Stay up here and you
won't get hurt."
But Paula was not listening.
Her thoughts darted back to
Chris, to what he had tried to tell
her at the jail. Once again she
saw the expression on his face
and knew clearly what it meant.
She ran down the ladder to Kilo's
side.
'Come back where they won't
hear us. I've got something to tell
you."
Paula dragged the girl into a
corner of the barn. "Kilo. Chris
is in trouble. He's in jail, and
you're to blame!"
"Jail!" Color drained from
Kilo's face, leaving it haggard in
the lamplight "You're lying to
me."
"Ask Tony. He swore out tht
warrant."
Kilo studied Paula's face with
wide, frightened eves. In it she
rend the truth. She swallowed
convulsively, tried to speak and
failed.
Swiftly Paula played her ace.
"Chris is in love with you. Kilo.
Will you go cut and tell the truth
about the scarf? Or are you go
ing to let Chris take the blame?"
