But ne came no nearer. He
picked up the various parts of the
ingenious alarm signal, put them
in the bath, and placed the bath
outside the door. Then he turned
to her again, scowling.
"Don't do it-see? ?" he growled.
"What's the good? I'm on the
stairs-see? And next time I'll
fetch you a fourpenny-get me 2"
He closed the door, and with a
sigh Jacqueline seated herself in
the chair and lighted another Gig
aret. The Joplins, it seemed, were
not so tr1stful as she had
imagined, and with Mr.. Joplin sit
ting out there on the steps, wait
ing to "fetch her fourpenny",
escape that way was definitely out
Of the question. And there was no
other way, unless -.
Her gaze rested on the small
window. It was very small, not
more than a foot square, and on a
level with the upper bunk, and she
realized at once that if she was
to leave the barge she could not
do so by that exit. It was as ut
terly impossible as was Alfred on
the stairs outside.
The hard truth was that she
could not hope to get off the barge,
and, that being so, the only posi-
bility Of getting out of the trap in
which Colonel Lutman had caught
her was for someone to come onto
the barge and take her off. In
some way she must get free.
She got up, placed the chair in
position, stepped onto it, and ex-
amined the window. She found
that the catch moved easily, and
very carefully she slipped it back
and pulled the window open. There
was only just room for her face
in the opening, and her range of
vision was limited; but by screw
ing her head sideways she could
see short distance along the river
in each direction. She knew very
little about the river, her expert
ence having been gathered chiefly
in punt in the neighborhood of
Cookham, but there must, she
imagined, be a good many people
within earshot, and if she shouted
someone would surely hear. There
were river police, too, she believed,
though how to know a police boat
from any other boat she had no
idea. She would stay where she
was, anyway, and if she caught
sight of a boat she would shout
and wave her handkerchief. If
only she could attract someone's
attention and get few words with
him, the rest would be plain sail
ing.
It was some time before her pa
tience was rewarded, and then at
last she heard the chugging of a
motor boat. The sound was faint,
and though she twisted her head
this way and that, she could not
get glimpse of it. It might, of
course, be right across the river
close to the bank, in which case it
would be useless to shout, and she
would have to wait in the hope that
another might come along later,
close enough to give her a chance
of making herself heard.
Gradually the throb of the
engine grew louder, and very sud-
denly, so it seemed to Jacqueline,
lit came into her range of vision.

| She saw its lights clearly and could
Just make out the outline Of the
boat. She watched it anxiously as
lit drew nearer. . If it kept to it's
present course it would pass quite
close to her-not more than a
dozen yards away, she calculated
and one good yell should be enough
to attract the attention of it's oc-
cupants. Better, perhaps, to whis-
tle-One Of those shrill piercing
whistles with two fingers in her
mouth which, after much labor,
she had learned to produce under
the instruction of her father and
the unqualified disapproval Of her
mother. They'd be sure to hear a
whistle.
She waited, with her fingers in
readiness and her face close to the
window, until the boat was almost
opposite and she could see the fig
ures of three men seated in it, and
then her fingers slipped into her
mouth and an ear-splitting whistle
came shrilling out of it.
She saw the men turn their
heads, glancing around as though
uncertain from which direction the
sound had come. She put her
fingers into her mouth again and
took a deep breath. But before
the sound had left her lips, hands
were suddenly clamped onto her
shoulders, and she was jerked vio-
lently backward. She staggered,
clutched wildly, and, overwhelming
the chair, crashed to the floor. In
stantly she was on her feet, to find
Alfred Joplin, his lips twitching
and his eyes dark with fury, facing
her. She saw that his hands were
clenching and unclenching ner-
vously, and as she stared at them,
feeling that she dared not take her
eyes off them, she saw him raise
them, half-open, the knotted fin
gers with their short broad nails
curled as if about to grasp some
thing, and move slowly toward her.
She glanced at his face, saw his
tongue pass across his lips, read
murder in his eyes, and only with
a tremendous effort stopped her.
self from screaming.
Suddenly, as he took another
step toward her, she seized the
chair with both hands and swung
it above her head.
"Come one step farther" she
gasped, land TIL use it."
Joplin took no notice. He took
another step toward her, and as he
did so Jacqueline swung the chair
and brought it crashing with all
her strength on his head.
For an instant Joplin wavered,
and then his hand shot out,
grabbed the chair, wrenched it
from her grasp, and sent it clat-
tering across the room. Once
again he moved toward her. JAG
queline, her gaze fixed on those
curling fingers, backed away until,
as the back Of her head reached
the edge of the bunk, she could re-
treat no farther, and she covered
into the corner. The next moment
she felt Joplin's hands around her
throat, encircling it like a steel
band, squeezing relentlessly until
she gasped for breath; her head
seemed bursting and great waves
of color went swirling across her
vision.

Length Of Pass Disnufed

conference, took 20-6 setback from
Arizona in a game marked by long

dash when Gerald GRAPHICAL went
80 yards for their score. Texas A..

drubbings, AZ to g.
Another major intersectional tilt
saw Manhattan and Tulsa finish in a

had gone through eight fairly tough
games without a setback, was held
to a TT tie by Howard Payne in its

Skins Vindicate Lou Little
Prove His Contention That Star Passer-Runner
Combine Will Wreck ANY Defense.

The combination broke down the
Giants barricade completely. A
defense that would stop Baugh
left Battles wide open. A defense
that might stop Battles left the
Giants at the mercy of Sammy
Baugh. Any star offensive must
have both a fine passer and a
star ball carrier. A Luckman
passing-or a Goldberg carrying
the ball-has too heavy handicap
to meet. But Luckman and a
Goldberg would be poison-Green
Mamba poison-against any de-
tense. That's why the Redskins
with Baugh and Battles are facing
the Chicago Bears for the profess
sional championship.
On this occasion, Baugh and
Battles were among the finest
combinations by air and land that
any team ever has shown. They
gave $4,000 spectators something
TO remember them by.

Bowl" Game Rule Looms.

WHILE this proposal is likely to be
the liveliest of those presented,
the question of bowl games un-
doubtedly will be injected into the
conference discussions. A year ago
the conference voted to recognize only
the Sugar Bowl and the Rose Bowl
games, with its teams being allowed
to accept Invitations only to these
classics. Some athletic directors have
been reported as ready to support a
move to have the conference cham
pion play in the Sugar Bowl game
annually.
The Southeastern constitution pro-
vides that "a representative must be
the executive head of the member
institution or an active member of the
teaching staff of the institution he
represents. No member Of an athletic
staff shall be eligible to act as repre-
sentative"
