CHAPTER xxx.

The end Of the football season
was q door slammed in Neale's
face forever. He had given four
years Of his life to football, flung
them joyfully and proudly to feed
the sacred flame. Now for the
rest of his life, he was to be shut
out from the temple Of the only
religion which had as yet been
offered him. For the rest of his
life-he was no post-mortem
Atkins to hang enviously and pite-
ously about watching other men
doing the real thing.
Neale did not find this realization
tragic, because it seemed to him
that it was the common lot, and he
had a poor opinion of those who
cry out melodramatically against
the common lot. The thing to do
was to accept the common lot with.
out undignified comment. So he
did not give Latin groan, nor cry
out Russian curse on Destiny.

that the aim Of his life had been
taken away, that he had lived the

AS for Neale, he Joined in the dis

reservations. He never quoted or

thought Of him q great deal. He
never discussed anything or any

One element in his life that he
never mentioned to the Gang, was
the amount Of time he was spend
ing with Miss Wentworth. He had
called on her one evening shortly
after the Palisading trip, alleging
as an excuse that he owed her a
dinner call for the picnic lunch she
had provided. He had called sew

kept up on her college athletics,

whom he had crammed up on this
line. But he felt a difference.
When she spoke about Henry

he'd never heard Of him. There
was an honest quality about Miss
Wentworth that made it seem un-
derhanded and unnecessary to
bluff.
