Thornton Holgate had just vowed

thing stirred profoundly in him.

several times. But DR.. Holgate got

been plotting mean, sneaking

had declared it.
No! No, no! The thought ap-

The significance of that struck
Thornton forcefully. If other men,

it must be that she was not yet

They departed at once.
An hour later a colored janitor,
drifting through the Mushroom
with brush and dustpan picking up
cigaret butts, found two dice and
a full bottle Of whiskey-to his
combined delight and surprise. He
never knew how they came there.
The professor and the freshman
found the checking room still de-
serted. They had come around the
dancing crowd without attracting
attention. Worthington ducked
back of the counter and got Sara
Sues coat at once. ..
"See? See? Feel tits stiil

tom of the garment.
Dr.. Holgate took it and felt the
bracelet within. His alarm mount

felt might have been just hoax,
or an error on the boys part.
It was quite a job to remove the
bracelet without tearing the coat.
It had to be worked up the lining

made, a rip almost invisible. But
when he finally had the piece,
Thornton knew it was of great

Holgate was stronger, and older.

command obedience. Moreover,

NOT JUSTIFIED
However, the events have not
justified those earlier reports. It
can be stated on high authority
that the President and Secretary
Of State Hull feel that "Joe"
Davis has furnished the Govern

eral trend of things in Russia and
northern Europe generally that
could not have been obtained by

When Mr.. Davis left Russia he

that he had made himself fairly
