suddenly to face him.
WHAT'S the matter?" he said. stop

startled her. evidently.

she cried. "You love to fight!"
"Me!
You do! You love fighting. Ysu
always have loved fighting"
he was dumfounded. "Why. I never
had fight In my life!"
she cried out In protest of such pre-
variation.
well. never did," he insisted.
mildly.
Why. you had a fight about met"

ramsey chuckled. THAT wasn't .
tight!"
ut wasn't?"
Nothing like one. We were lust
guylh hin about-aboui gettin' slicked
up. Kind OF. because he sat 10 front Of
you; and he hit me with his book strap
and | chased him off. Gracious, no:
that wasn't a fight :"
But you fought Linski only last

Ramsey chuckied again. THAT
wasn't even as much like FIGHT as the
one with Wesley. JUS, told this

She laughed doIefully. ut seems

They had begun to walk on again,
and Ramsey was aware that they had
passed the frat house." where his
Inner was probably growing cold. He
was aware OF this. but not sharply or
mistakenly. CuriOuAy enough. he did
not think about IL He bad begun to
find something pleasant il the odd in
. tervtew. and in walking beside girl.
even though the girl was Dors Yocun.
He made 40 attempt to account to
himself for anything so peculiar.
For while they went slowly to-
geuer, not speaking. and without des-
tnatiOn, though Ramsey vaguely took
II for tnt ft,at
somewhere. But she wasn't. They
emerged ftum the part of the small
town closely built about the university
and came out upon Il bill Of parked
land overlooking the river; and here
Dora's steps slowed to AN indeter-
maple TREE.
II think I'll stay here q while" she
said; and as he made no response. she
asked: Hadn't you better be going
back to your frat house for your din

ed to get an answer 10 my question.

He stood lrreS"lute, not sure that he
wanted his dinner just then. 1t would
have amazed him to face the fact de-
lihern,eiy that perhaps he preferred
being with Dora Yocum to eating.
However. he faced no such fact, nor
any fact. but fingered.
