RIFLES g. REGULATIONS

The selection of Waynesvllle
hiph as the champions of the Blue
Ridge conference brings to mind
an item OF interest concerning
sport of any kind that is often
overlooked, that item being that
rules and regulations are neces-
sary and are made to be followed.
Mars Hill high school defeated
Waynesville, Canton, Henderson
Vile and Tryon-Saluda, being UNI
defeated in the conference. Yet
they failed to play five confer
ence teams as provided by the
regulations and Waynesville, un,
doubtedly fine team, was named
champion.
While this observer believes
Waynesville to have been stronger
than Mars Hill, no attempt is made
to detract from the records made
by Coach Jelks boys. They had q
fine team and played fine ball all
season.

glanced at her jewelled wrist
watch. Odd that he was so brus-
que!
"A few moments after six
thirty"
He jumped to his feet, exclaim'
ing: Good Lord! I'm an hour late
for my appointment"
Mrs. Joel Vandaveer was cha
grined.
Her husband being out of town
for the evening, she had planned
to take Jimmy Randolph home to
her penthouse for dinner.
Now after a scant ten minutes
or so in his studio-he was going
to be off like deer!
The fact that he seemed ter
ribly upset about missing his en-
gagement or anyhow, being an
hour late for it convinced her
that it was with woman.
Luana Waters had brought him
to her cocktail party.
Was he epris of the girl? =.
She said now, ever so SWeetly.
and watching his face keenly: MY
cars downstairs. I'll run you
wherever you want to 60"
He hesitated. But I shall have
missed her by now"
How naively boyish and undlplo-
matte of him, she thought, han
amused, and half dashed. Had he
no savoir-faire? Didn't he know
better than to drag in one woman
before another particularly
when that other had condescended
to visit him on shabby Elizabeth
street, which was such an utter
contrast to her own milieu?
"Then telephone her?" she sug-
gested, adding, with a touch OF
malice: Better think OF some
good fib."
Il have no telephone, said jim
nv frankly. He still looked wor-
ried. What on earth would Luana
think?
"Then if you can't reach her,
drop her a little note and plead
an unavoidable engagement" In
the deepinC twilight she gave a
long, meaning look at the young
man, It seemed to challenge him
with her sex-appeal and beauty. 1t
said plainly: Girls are plentiful IN
this town as blackberries on coun'
try hedges, but there's only one
Lorraine Vandaveer :"
He did not catch the full i'm
port, but enough to know that
he must seem churliSh to this
elegant creature.
How amazed he would have
been had he realized that in the
long pause that followed, Luana
herself was looking at them with
amazed eyes through the Skyllght
window of the studio.
Nov what can we do to put
matters right?" asked Lorraine
briskly. IT feel responsible for
keeping you here, though as a
matter of fact if your appointment
was an hour ago, I've only been
here about fifteen minutes"
I'm delighted you came here"
said Jimmy lamely, and unconvinc-
ingly.
She seized her chance. Gas a
matter of fact, was hoping you
might be free to come up to the
house and dine?"
That's kind of you, but I've al
ready made an engagement for

dinner and the evening" His
worried eye fell on the bathroom
sketch for the advertising agency.
Whatever happened, he must get
it there by seven, at latest, or ne
would be the loser by thirty dol
lars, which was unthinkable!
IF you would be so good as
drop me on West 46th off Broad
way? I have to leave my drawing
at a place there"
Delighted" said Lorraine, riS-
ing, Lets be Off" They went
down to the waiting car.
The chauffeur Sprang from his
seat and opened the door for them.
Jimmy hesitated for a moment.
Gould you drop me just for a sec
ond at a house that lies directly
behind this one?" It's awfully
hard to find and I'm not certain
of the number" He looked at the
chauffeur. Il can direct you as
we CO."
Then they were off.
But a traffic policeman stopped
them at the intersection. There's
no left turn here" They had to
go back.
I'm afraid I've an appalling
bump of locality" said Jimmy,
distressed. To get to Luana'S
building from a different approach
confused him. They had to drive
all the way round the block.
IT'S down a little lane some
where :"
Lorraine laughed good-natured-
ly. The old parts of Greenwich
Village are like a Chinese puzzle.
It's as intricate as round The Olde
Curiosity Shop in London!'
But find it they finally did, at
ten minutes of seven.
Jimmy raced up the stairs to the
top apartment. His knock re-
manned unanswered. Luana must
be out, waiting for him some
where. He hurried back to the car.
The chauffeur was a fast driver,
and a clever one, but it was ten
minutes after seven when they
drew up at the agency on West
46th Street. Fortunately, the clean
ing woman was still in the office.
She admitted him through a
side door, and he left his draw
ing in it's appointed place.
Meantime, Mrs. Vandaveer was
wondering whom he had been eX-
posting to see in the funny old
tumble-down house on the shabby
street? A handsome, hard-up
youth in Greenwich Village was
one thing she might stoop to
conquer, but to have some
shabby, tiresome girl for a rival
was quite another pair of
Shoes" as the French say. She
would cure him of his infatua-
ton, if it was that.
I'll say good-by now, and
thank you," said Jimmy at the
door of the limousine, hat in his
hand.
OIlVC nOLI6 Will ulc dIlu dG
least have a cocktail" Lorraine
suggested.
He hesitated.
She took matters into her own
capable, predatory hands. I'll
tell you what we'll do. While
we're having our cocktail at home,
Lewis, the chauffeur will deliver
a message from you to the person
with whom you had your appoint
ment. Is that okay?"
It sounded feasible. She had
been sweet and gracious to him,
driving him here with his draw.
ing, not to mention scouting
round Luana's building. To re-
fuse would be churlish, so he got
into the car.
Arrived at the penthouse, he
wrote note to Luana, asking her
please to call him at the telephone
number that, with the address on
upper Park Avenue, was printed
on the notepaper.
