itcLlOn Oh GenpOnA~ We nave every
reason to believe that the kid went
plumb loco and took part In . bank
robbery because he Was desperate The
robber probably made 4 deal with
him that all he had to do Was drive
a car, figuring no n wousd erer xRs-
pect 4 college students car In \ eoE
lege town. even If II Vas hitting sixty
on the road We're sure Vernon was
mixed up In that because re know
he didn't have d thin dime before the
thing happened. yet the very Derf day
he buys a new chr and pays the diff
ference OF twelve hundred dollars in
cash. And | also know thai he has
lied like the devil about everything
since | put him under arrest
Jim whistled softly. III sort Of
makes Mister Vernon out to be =
pretty tough hombre. John
HE isn't that / just think he vent
nuts"
Maybe 80. But he xzsre
stayed crazy = long time"
Reagan Was 4 tribe annoyed II did
not please him to have his damnEnx
summary greeted with even the slight
est semblance OF Skepfiezsm-
whats wrong with my csse- Jfmy~
Harvey arched his eyebrows In sur-
prise. -Golly, John. didn't SAT any
thing was, did II"
mo. But you looked funny
Il can't help 1t II l look funny.
John. A guy who has 4 face ike =
custsrd pie and 4 shape like = gold
nsh Is entitled to look funny. ain-t hey-
But" accused Reagan- -you dent
really think 1t was Max Vernon
who says | dont7
do your"
.Pretty near
what do you mean Pretty neary
-Well-- Harvey drew ! long. apdI-
BILE breath Il r Of jnst happened
to remember Larry weich-
-Yehf What about himz-
.Vernon had left the fraternity
house before WEIGH eof there. yex
WEIGH says that he had 4 long taIk
with Thayer. Now II sort Of seems
to me, John. that II Tfsyer Was n
ready dead. Larry would hare nnsieed
1t, wouldn't heg"
'HmphI" Reagan was cressfzIEen-
Il think Larry lied"
@Why?"
@To shield Miss Peyton. He's rox,fy
about her"
sticking his wi neck into \ moose
to shield her. don't ii strike yoa that
he's got some mighty good reasoa-
reason vi don't kDow-for fhinkTng
that she killed ThayerT~
Il know. IIm-buf we've got vernnn
dead to rights. He's bound to hare
done tt"
Provided neither Larry WEIGH mar
Miss Peyton did"
Reagan frowned. then broke into =
disappointed laugh
You WIN. Jim | kept running Into
snags like that MI the time. THAT'S
why / wanted to pass the buck to
you He eyed the big IMAM keenly-
whats your Idea about the thinET
II haven't had m Idea in i month
They don't come to me swifts like they
Dc to you"
But you surely think sonaeshinxZ~
"Yeh-true enough And the hrsf
thing | think. Johns that i Amt
hardly talked to anybody abouf this
affair. Until ! see some Of the others.
/ won't know where l stand
"An1 after you do see them. you'll
be absolutely bughouse- I know -.
believe me. do"
1I1l try. anyway
.Who first7 Vermont"
moo. I think I'll have 4 chat with
Ivy WEIGH"
Reagan conducted Harvey To the
Office of the dean In the main building
Doctor Boyd was startled BY H1nveys
appearance and appeared somewhat
skeptical of the mans ability. bat Ne
wal courteous-and readily acce1ed
to Hanyey's request that Ivy We4ch
be summoned
Its rather ! CHASTITY affair MI
round, Mr.. Hanvey.~ he said. ~and 1
do hope youTl be able to solve 1T
Yes, sir" Jim Was vizibIy awed
by the atmosphere Of education which
p~ervaded the unpretentious once Il
SURF do. But | wonder What you mean
by 'satisfactory'Ts
The dean smiled slightly. My per
sonal preference plays 4 prominent
part In that. Mr. Harvey l should
certainly hate to see either Mr.. Wcsch
or Miss Peyton become any mor
deeply involved"
And Vernon1s
II like the boy-make no mistake
about that But he doesn't seem to be
Of the same fine quality n the other
two. OF course. scmeone killed
T~hayer-r
"Uh-huh. Dean II sure seems 50
The mans face wns - heavily blank.
and his - inert. that the
dean concluded he was totally hrkinx
In intelligence. Jusf Why ! START

under m oxlike creature u Hanve1s
type was beyond the dean's csmure-
hension. but then he never Ind anders
