Griffiths came right after German in
j the lineup. German looked up to
Griffiths because even as boy he had face
like tigers, thin above but muscled heavily
along the jaw. The WEAKNESS and wisdom OF a
tiger was marked between his eyes. also. But
below the head, Griffiths was merely bones
and connective tissue: that was why he, in his
turn, looked up to German, who was as much
at home on football field as Griffiths was in
the algebra class He used to help German
through hard spots in study; perhaps he even
could be of help now, thought German. as he
steered his car toward the corner.
OF course Griffiths was there on time. for he
was as punctual as Swiss movement. Even
in the thick bustling of the crowd he seemed
to stand undisturbed, apart from it all. He
was wearing the brother of the same slouch
gray hat which had shaded his eyes fifteen
wears before, and even the summer day could
not make him discard the gray silk muff1er
which protected his scrawny Adams apple;
even the summers heat could not remove the
blue tinge of perennial cold which was in his
cheek. He got into the open car beside Cor
man without word. They had not seen each
other for months, but traffic noises had to do
for conversation until the Pulaski Skyway
lifted them high above the tenement jumbles
beyond the river.
Then he unlocked his jaws to say: What's
the trouble now"
Were talking about you, first" answered
German. Where have you been? What have
you been doing?"
I've simply been around few places.
That might mean almost anything, from
Englewood to England, or Tucson to Tim
buctoo.

even tell how you make your living? Do you

He smiled little, with his eyes.

''Ah, you saw me once in crowd, wearing
old clothes, nodded Griffiths.

but he would not enlarge on the subject.

again.

Griffiths. You look as though you're trying

man.

"A man in love with Elise couldn't be in

Impossible" said Grifiths, firmly.
What if he kept on loving Elise, and she
stopped loving him?" asked German.

ing his head
Il saw her," answered Griffiths, through
his teeth.
They passed sixty, seventy, eighty. The
opposite flow of traffic went by them with
roaring handstrokes of sound. Even the auto
mobiles they overlook flicked away like
pack of cards from fast dealer, yet they
barely held the blue car even until German
settled himself little more deeply in his seat
and let the car go like stone from the hand.
They charged down slope. struck the
opposite rise with force that staggered the
front wheels, veered ato,nd laboring truck
as around some permanent landmark, and
came in view of the blue car lifting at the top
of the hill as though it were about to take
wings. They flew the same hilltop in time to
see their quarry make a half-skid, jump the
ditch backward, crash the fence beyond and
lie on its side in patch of brush. Gorman's s
brakes began to scream.
As the car stopped, Griffiths was fast
enough to start for the rescue but German
was we'll ahead of him. Even he was not in
