CHAPTER XI
AS Coral and David walked rap
idly up the cement sidewalk lead
ing to the veranda of Professor
Maxwelps house, they were silent.
Corald had told David of her in
terview with Donna, and both
their minds were furiouSly occu-
pied with the situation in which
they found themselves. Each of
them realize that they were fac
ing a crisis which, in it's outcome,
held much of their future in the
balance. If Donna'S story rather
than their own was believed, what
would they do? Where could they
turn?
They walked up the steps to the
front door After ringing the bell,
David reach out and took Coral's
hand in his. "Chin up. sweet

no heed. When he had said Don

and had taken the quickest means

She was just about to speak again
when Professor Bendorff said
quietly, "Your enthusiasm is very

dictionary tonight. If they think
Donna found it among your be-
longings, how do they account for
the fact that you have it here in
your handbag"
Wordlessly, Coral opened her
handbag and produced the folded
square of blue laboratory paper
upon which the details of the
process were written. Ignoring
the outstretched hand of Profess
Sor Bendorff she got up from her
chair and walked across the room
to the desk behind which Profess
sor Maxwell was sitting. Here
it is" she said simply. IF Donna
had found it in my dictionary,
wouldn't it seem likely that she
would keep it and bring it here
herself for you to see?" Her face
was serious, her eyes wide and
pleading.
Eyes, Coral, that sounds very
logical to me-" said Professor
Maxwell slowly. GAS Professor
Bendorff knows, am more than
anxious to hear all of the story
which you and David have to tell,
and until you are definitely prov
en- guilty which | think is UNI
likely .. consider both of you
innocent"
Coral and David looked at
each other, their eyes alight with
hope. David stepped to her side.
THANK you, Professor Maxwell.
Depend upon it, your faith in US
is justified. He turned to Ben
dorff. Doesn't the point which
we have just made seem logical
to you, SIR"
EendOrff smiled suavely. 81 am
afraid chat it will take more than
that to convince me of Miss Gram
dall'S innocence and your own
lack of participation in this dis
Lrcosing affair. Being less credu-
lous than Professor Maxwell, It
occurs to me that it would have
been quite possible for Miss Gran

from Miss Allen by force, bring
it to us, and thus Substantial

JUST A SUGGESTION

War declared by the District Attorney against minors boys and girls under 21 entering liquor dspensaries violation of the law is bound to raise the age-old controversy What is to be done with the youngster of 8 19 20 who claims to be 21 and at the moment there is way of proving other wise?
 By way of suggestion how would it be for the officer proprietor of the liquor dispensary to pick up the telephone and call up MT. or Mrs So and So and say something like this:
 Your daughter the case might bel is down here and wants to enter a liquor dispensary. He claims to be 21 years old Is that true? If he is not it will be necessary, according to law that he be accompanied by parent guardian. Will you please tell me whether he is 21, and if not will you come down and accompany him into the establishments"
 Recalling younger days, we have mild sus- pcion that there would be end to the trouble of youngsters under 21 entering liquor dispensares.

 If one knew why small boys haf-mast one leg of their sacks why their older brothers Haunt sus- penders out in the open for all to see or why little girls cling tenaciously to ankle-length socks In the dead of winter, one might understand about beer jackets too Lacking this insight, baffled parents of 'teen-age children only fall back on that We'll worn line, They just are!' Indeed they are, ana how numerously
 Like the leaves of the spring those jaunty canvas reefers sprouted seemingly of their own accord on thousands of juvenile backs. What is so intriguing about them oldsters at loss to fathom.
