CHAPTER xx

On the afternoon that Inspector Hope Kildare, of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, admitted that he was in love with Betty Mary Jordan, the first coolness in all their memory came between him and Sheridan Starr.
 The Kildare and Starr families had lived in another part of Texas side by side. The parents had been close friends. Young Sheri- dan and young Hope had enjoyed first fights as small youngsters, but only in teamwork fighting some one else. They had romped and enjoyed life through grade school high school, then into college. Perfect athletes, they had achieved wide fame as football players. What one had attained the other had shared, always. And now there was conflict over pretty Betty Mary Jo-- dan.
 'Well Hope" Sheridan said that evening when they would have gone to supper together as usal, If it's not sin for you to love her, I guess it's not a sin for me either. guess we can't either of us help it. You ready to go eat uow?"
 Hope did not look at his friend. He was staring vacantly away.
