clear gray eyes sparkled, Il saw
that last minute play of his"
Margot clapped her hands: Tell
us about it, Alice"
Alice grinned indulgently.
ooh that was years ago, remem-
Der, but l do know that in my wild
excitement l lost my brand new
tam and nearly froze going home.
When Jason Emory broke that IA
nous line of the Harley University,
his shoulders looked like Cameras
only more so, the folks went mad.
Alice's eyes were dancing as she
stood in a slightly crouching pose
as she recalled that exciting game.
boy he tore through that line
like a streak of creased tighten
ing, and those players fell like
flies in late season. l nearly
swooned."
The soft voice of Lois interrupt
ed,
1T was those shoulders that
broke the line of that mob, a few
weeks ago."
Marie slammed the door in dis
gust as she left the rest room.
If the girls admired Jason EN-
DRY, the Negro attorney, they were
not in accord with the male mem

The name Jason Emory was gall

Frank Peters, as he stroke back
and forth, stopping to give the

tom Raglan was entitled to that
promotion and to have a Negro
put in over him. l don't blame him
for resigning.
Sandy McTivish, who always act

Hayes and wilkins went to court
leaned against the desk as he
knocked the ashes from his ciga-
rette reflectively.
"One thing, if you have millions
you can get away with murder.
Who, but men with Hayes and Will
kins money, could pull such lou

it,"
Gust the same the press is lam
basting them good and plenty
said FRANK.
Sandy sneered.
"a lot Hayes and wilkins care,
that only makes more orders for
them, besides their real mazuma
comes from abroad"
Peters paused, an angry CLINT in

Every since Hayes & wilkins had
engaged a Negro attorney to head
their legal staff, the spot light OF
publiitcy had been focused on their
firm.
Never had they received so much
from advertising.
Phillip Hayes enjoyed this SEN
sation. He chuckled quietly to him
self and threw the morning paper
down and turned to greet his part
ner, Tad wilkins, who had just en-
tered.
wilkins noticed the papers Hayes
had been reading and his small
blue eyes crinkled into a smile.
Phil, if We had to pay for all
that, it would cost us a pretty pen

I'VE get it free, gratis"
Hayes laughed, then stopped
short as If new thought had just

vigor the ink wells jumped.
Say, Tad I'd like to see Tes-

on some of those phoney witnesses
Tesdame brought in. Why Jason
will cut them to ribbons. That lit
tie black boy is sharp as the de-

law"
we wouldn't have engaged him,
otherwise" wilkins commented
dryly.
Hayes grinned good humoredly.
mot interested in the race, get

wilkins guffawed as he snap
ped his fingers.
THAT for the race"
Hayes shrugged his shoulders.
We'll any way, you might be do

How" asked wilkins.
I'VE took the Negroes pride and
glory away before this big case
came to trial"
1--WE did at that" said his part

wilkins went to his desk. He
