Once the band must have broken into

Followed more pictures of the Har.
ward sections; followed many of the
Yale sections, but Peyton did not see
them. He did not even look at them.
The second half was close. Peyton
summoned all the mental strength
that was in him to concentrate on the
game. And at first he thought that

his mind had adjusted itself to the

very madness Of yearning, pointed by
the anguish OF uncertainty. Biting his
lips, he watched the long line OF un-

she swept the two men on in her talk.
