play for Miss Kathy to draw ye of, if the ither dame was givin' ye lot O blarney, sec"
 A gleam showed in Bob's eyes, You think so, Pat? I wonder"
 "Ye don't made to-" the Irish man assured him. Miss Kathy's hurt to think ye can't see her for that wealthy gurl across the hall. If ye could find some way to prove Bracey ain't professor a-tall, but maybe something ilse H~t SO polite, ye'd be doin' Miss kathy a favor, and it's Patrick that's tillin' ye,"
 "He surely isn't hankering for any of the Duchess pictures" Bob said thoughtfully. If he so much as hinted he wanted one, she'd likely give him a dozen or two, she'd be so tickled. It's very evil dent she has plenty of cash. Maybe that's what he's got his eye one"
 Pat grinned. Tt won't do him a mite O good. There've been ither fellers figured they'd git money from her, but it's no go, She knows her way about and don't ye be forgittin' it, Amt none O thim can outsmart her"
 "She wears some pretty classy jewelry"
 And shen wear bigger and better stones whin she throws the fancy dress ball she's been plan min for months. It's goin' to tear the place wide open, what with electricians, and decorators, and caterers, and sich. The Duchess spends money like water whin she sets out to do anything"
 Well, that's okay by me-" Bob shrugged. After smashing up her picture, she'll not be apt to invite me again. I certainly wouldn't go if she did. Once is plenty enough for me"
 Pat leaned forward, Not if ye thought ye'd be doin' Miss Kathy favor now? I got a job helpin' the electrician so I can keep an eye on what's goin' on. And Bracey's bound to see Miss Kathy's invited. It's to be an artists ball, which means all sorts of cut-upS. The Duchess is goin' to wear her emerald. They say it's big as hens egg and worth so much it'd give ye a pain in the head thinkin' O 1t"
 Let her wear 1t for all me, Bob replied. I've got entirely too many things to do to take any more time out for her fool par ties"
 Like livery ither honest man." Pat said. But better reminder all the men what come to this house may net be so honest, and we got to watch out for Miss Kathy,'
 Bob did not answer, so Pat took his departure hoping fervently he had given Bob something to think about. If he could have seen the young mans worried frown after the door closed, he would have felt con- fident he had succeeded. The thought that Kathleen cared how he felt about the Duchess sent a warm glow over Bob. She must have said something to give the lit- tie old 1rishman such a notion,

CHAPTER VIII

GulcKly completing the repair job, Pat put away his hammer and tacks and marched up to Bobs room. AS the young man opened the door the janitor put his stubby finger nysteriously to his lips and, coming in, closed the door carefully behind him.
 'It's meself would like little private conversation with yeY Me- Tavish," he said.
 Bob looked surprised. Whats upp The police on my trail or something?"
 Pat grinned. Not a-tall, a-tall, though before long maybe they will be comm after some ithers round here"
 You heard about what hap pened then at the party?"
 Miss Kathy was tillin' me something about it, was the Irishman's guarded reply. But gurls don't always git things straight now"
 "IIl say they don't" Bob drowned darkly and walked over to his desk for a match. That slippery guy sure seemed to pull the wool over her eyes. She prob ably didn't tell you how he got me in bad, did she?"
 No" Pat was careful not to seem too interested.
 Bob related in detail just what had happened, ending with, And I don't believe he's what he's pos ing as being. Probably after something Is the reason he hangs around the Duchess and her bunch"
 "That's what I come up to say now" Pat replied. Miss Kathy ain't no business to be trailin' with the kind O folks the Duchess runs with. She aint their kind, and it's me that's kind O lookin' out for her, her bein' the sweet little thing she is, without anybody to be tailin' her part now"
 "Ehe apparently doesn't want the rest of us to butt in,' an- , swered Bob bitterly. You saw her give me the cold shoulder, No knowing what that guy told her after I left the party. I've been expecting them to prefer charges against me for damage just any time"
 Pat took out his pipe and looked at 1t as though he. had never seen 1t before. Then he shook his head soberly. Tt ain't that a-tall, McTavish. It's because she's hurt thinkin' ye passed her up for that fuxy-headed Duchess, Ye didn't do much talkin to her, now did ye?"
 No" Bobs tone showed his evaporation. "The Duchess cor nersd me as soon as got there, and I couldn't break away with out walking over her, You know how some women are"
 "Begorrah do, me boy" Pat assured him gravely, But not Miss Kathys kind now, She'd niver run after no man"
 "She doesn't have to. Bracey will jolly well see to that, He hardly let her out of his sight all afternoon
 And ye think that biased her now2 I did not. She was likely hopin' ye'd be sparin her some O yer time. We got to be taikin' steps to put that feller where he belongs-where he can't be forcin' himsilf on Miss Kathy, sec"
 "rf 1t can be done" answered Bob slowly. You know I believe I've seen him some place before. Thought so the first time I ever clapped eyes on him, but couldn't be sure. You know how you get that feeling about people some- times. ven the dog doesn't care for him. He'd like nothing better than to take Q slash at him. Growled first thing when he saw him again at the party"
 Pat nodded. And it's dogs know more than the folks around thim. That feller is after some- thing. Mark me word, And I'm thinkin' it's something the Duch- ~au kAaa t,,au ha ,eanAn

Miraculously, as though an
oracle had spoken, the gray head
lifted. A smile wavered and
came to rest on Mr.. Fosters
drawn lips; flew across the room
to meet his wife'S anxious eyes.
Wilma stood spellbound. Her
lovely, useless hands clenched.
The boys, Herman and Bill, were
not awkward now. They moved
with assurance, with tenderness,
with incredible calm.

bigger than Wilma had ever De

Shocked silence filled the room.
Herman, who was IT, said, Keep

For some reason, Wilma ran to

from a silly, old-faShioned oven.

into fanatical frenzy before a game
and sending them onto the field with
murder in their hearts.
The second trend is toward gen.
uine friendship between competing
teams instead of the bitter feeling
that used to be a part of any tradi-
tional rivalry.
Newspapers have had much to dc
with taking the hate out of football
but the coaches have done their
share, too.
The Football Coaches Association
with its annual convention, bringing
all the coaches together for a week
of fun and business and uniting them
in a sort of guild working for the
advancement of all members of the
profession, has made them a friendly
helpful lot.
They kid one another numerically
but they no longer hate one another
The old time method of keying a
team to great emotional heights be-
fore a game has been abandoned as
impractical in modern schedules. 1t
was all right in the old days when
the major teams played a number
of easy games and not more than
two really hard games each season.
The boys nerves could stand the
keying up process then. But now
big teams play hard games every
Saturday. If they are keyed up for
one game they experience a heavy
emotional letdown the next Saturday
and are not hard to beat.
1t was Bernie Bierman of Mime
sofa who led in developing the new
method of teaching a team how to
play hard, alert, intelligent football
instead of the wild-eyed emotional
football of few years ago. Other
coaches have followed Bernie's lead.
The result is the boys enjoy the
game more because they are playing
with their heads instead of with their
emotions. They like their opponents
and talk to them across the line in
a friendly way instead of plotting
for a chance to poke an eye out or
twist an ankle in the next pile-up.
1t was not long ago that Mime
Michigan or a Minnesota-Wis-
consin game found players, coaches,
fans and press aggressively hating the
opposition.
Now there are professions of friend
ship on both sides and true gestures
of friendship, too.
Some years ago Minnesota and
Nebraska had to call off their annual
games because of the bitterness of
feeling between the two teams.
1t was not football game, it was
a fist fight; but when Bernie Bier
man came to Minnesota and Dana
Bible went to Nebraska, they agreed
to try it again.
Since then the genuine friendship
existing between the two institutions
makes this one of the finest rivalries
in football.
Omaha newspapers go overheard
praiSing Minnesota's craftsmanship
and Minneapolis newspapers do the
same for Nebraska, and with good
reason.
These trends, common in all Sec
