Although the place was well filled
no one gave them more than casual
glance. Such scenes were customary
in that den of iniquity where the
down-and- outers or those who did not
care came to carouse or plot future
crimes. Everything but a sense of de-
cency was given free reign.
Kicking and screaming, Manon was
carried through the open center room
into one of the high walled private
stalls that surrounded it.
Il
Fabien could not tell why he loved
Manon so deeply and the the exclusion
of all else. No matter what happened
she was his very life and he could
not believe that she had been untrue
to their love. After the first revulsion
Of feeling had passed, following her
mysterious departure, he knew that
he would have no peace Of mind until
she was found So, after leaving their
deserted room, Fabien plodded his
weary way along the streets, lanes
and byways Of Paris, searching every
face and shadow for his beloved Ma
non.
After miles of fruitless wandering
the buoyancy left his stride. He need
ed food, but that want did not COM
pare with the hunger in his heart,
and the distress that diffused his soul.
Fabien could have returned to his
father and affluence, but his deep
love for Manon made him prefer an
obscure and vagabond existence to all
the advantages of fortune without her.
He was sure that when he found her
there would be satisfactory explana-
ton and their continued happiness to-
gether would follow.
The necessity for rest, coupled with
an exhausting hunger, drew Fabien
into cheap cafe that he thought
would suit the flatness of his money
pockets. His search for Manon was
temporarily abandoned. "She would
never come to place like this"
thought Fabien, "a drinking hut fire.

feeling at the easy familiarity display
ed among the sprawling men and wo-
men, he moved through the open CEN
ter door up to the bar, in an alcove
at the end, and ordered a drink of
brandy. He swallowed it at a gulp. 1t
was the first strong drink he had tax
en-it burned his throat and made him
choke, but it satisfied and promised
the desired forgetfulness. He took
another.
Fabien had abandoned his search
and dulled his senses at the wrong
time; because it was into this same
cafe that Manon's abductor had car
ried her only few moments earlier.
Only a thin partition and few feet
of space separated Fabien from Ma
non and her tormentor. He even heard
the mans coarse laugh and a girls
scream. He had never heard Manon
scream and she was so terrified that
there was no familiar ring in her
voice, however; it was a call for help
and Fabien rose to his feet. Dazed
from his first bout with brandy, he
staggered crafty and the landlord
forced him into seat.
"What you want to butte in for?"
he growled.
"a lady in distress-'ex explained Fa-
bien feebly.
Lady, my eye-she came in here
with him, didn't she ?"
Fabien did not know. But on second
thought he decided it did not matter.
He could see several women, from
where he sat, and they were all ca
rousing noisly with their male COM
panions. 1t seemed to be the usual
thing. The spark of chivalry faded
from Fabien's eyes and he reached for
another drink! "God, | wish l could
find Manon" His head went down on
his arms and he cried, real tears, from
exhaustion and worry.
Il i X
Manon's efforts to free herself were
futile and brought forth shouts of
enjoyment from the big bully. His wo-
men were always willing, or his
caresses, to the point of annoyance.

Volunteers Squeeze Out 13 to
II Victory Over Florida's
Gators

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 10.-(AP)
The Volunteers of Tennessee scuttled
the Southern conference champion
ship hopes Of Florida Saturday in a
thrilling climax to one of the great
est Dixie gridiron seasons.
These sturdy sons of Tennessee,
with a scrappv fast charging line
and three sensational sophomores in
the backfield, ripped into the de-
Tense Of the country's highest pow
cred scoring machine, tore it apart
in the first half with bewildering
attack and had the stuff to turn
back Florida's desperate counter
thrust that fell only a single point
shy Of squaring the count.
Tennessee's final margin was Is
to IL, so close that chills were run
ming up and down the spines of Vol
untcer partisans as Florida darkencd
the air with passes serious enough
to threaten the result of the game,
yet winding up the home teams sea-
son in triumphant fashion.
1900 Sec Game
A wildly excited crowd of 1900
saw the Volunteers not only spoil
Florida's hopes of sharing the south
ern title with Georgia Tech but
strengthen their claims to share of
the national gridiron spotlight for
1928.
Those youthful stars in orange and
while, with a brilliant array of
sophomores, carried on where their
predecessors left off to give Tennes-
see the distinction of finishing it's
second successive undefeated season.
Only Thanksgiving day scoreless
tie with Kentucky keeps the Vols
from claiming an equal share of
southern title glory with Georgia
Tech, which closed it's campaign at
Atlanta today by beating Georgia
before moving on to represent Dixie
in the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena
New Year day.
As it stands, Tennessee, under the
coaching of the old West Point star
Major Bob Neyhand, has played &c
consecutive games over a three-yeaY

Mineaponlis, Mimi, Dec. 10.1P)
A hard playing quintet from the
University of North Dakota admin
istered 25 to "a defeat to the Uni
yersity of Minnesota in the opening
basketball game of the season here
Saturday night.
A completed foul shot by Captain
Paul Boyd of North Dakota, in the
last minute of play broke a 24-24
deadlock.
An elaborate stalling game then
gave victory to the Flckertails as
the Gophers fought desperately to
retrieve command Of the ball. Boyd
had played we'll along with Oh Letich
and Levy Lee, who guarded well
and added several points to their own
total.
Scoring Well Divided
The North Dakota scoring was
divided fairly evenly between all of
its players, Lctich leading with three
field goals and one free throw for
seven points. Lee and Boyd were
tied with five points, each account
ing for two field goals and free
throw. TO further show the North
Dakota all-around scoring ability,
Vic Brown, forward, and Harold
Eberly. guard. each made total of
four points. coming from field goals.
The contest dragged on rather
slowly in the first half hour, which
ended in an I'LL tie, but both teams
speeded up considerably as the Sec
ond period opened. This was due for
the most part. however, to the in
creasing intensity of Minnesota's Of
tense, which started the last half in
a scoring burst. The teams fought
evenly as far as scoring went, but
the Gophers lost many opportunities
to put them into safe lead.
Boyd Scores in Pinch
Alter taking a three-point margin,
the widest during the whole game,
Minnesota's efforts were nullified as
North Dakota, with Boyd scoring
two baskets from the field, dead
locked their opponents.
While Minnesota was presenting a
slightly better offense than the
Flickertails. the Gophers. when they
Cdmc unucT the DASkeI OF into 1dlT
scoring range, were unable to sink
shots which otherwise should have
dropped in. This was not true of
the Flickertajls, who took advantage
Of nearly every opportunity to score.
Minnesota outshot the Flickertails
in point of attempts at the basket
about 3 to 1, but their attempts
bounced off the back board or the
rim into the hands of the Flickertail
guards.
Captain George Bitterness. the best
shot on Minnesota's quint. scored
three baskets from the floor, but
two other Gophers, Nelson and Will
liams, scored the same number of
field goals. It was around these
three men that the Minnesota offense
functioned best. The summary:
