now. 1--we been through there a

again, girl. And We'll have to lay
low this time for a while. No MAX
ing friends"
''I'll love it, jim! You're all the
friend need, anyhow. Any place,
just so it's with you" She kissed
him suddenly on his forehead,
and smiled. A brave, tear-stained
smile that brought an answer
ing wry little curve to his lips.
Above the smile his eyes were trou-
bled, however, and the Tiny look in
them reminded her Of the first time
she had met him.
I'm going to buy TWO tickets,
JIM" she said then, meaningly,
and waited, her eyes on his.
He smiled again then, and the
tension in his eyes relaxed. "You
win, girl" he said, in his old play
full voice. 'I ought to be shot for
dragging you into this, but can't
help myself. I'll make it up to you
some way. l never thought a little
girl like you could be so sweet"
He buried his head in her Shout
der as she crouched beside him, and
she stroked it, gently, her lips rest
ing on his hair.
She left him early that evening.
Good as it seemed to have him
himself again, the strain Of the
thing that was hanging over them
made her want to be by herself and
think. She was driven, now, by an
urgent need to get the tickets for
their departure actually in her
purse. There was finality to that,
as if the thing were already half
done. She kissed him good night
when the clock showed only a half
after eight, and went tiredly
through his door.
She found Clark Martin waiting
in the corridor, and eager look on
his good-natured face. /:
us he-can I talk to him? he
asked, and for moment she hesi-
tated. After all, Jim had been
fighting for his life only last night,
and she had just given him dis
turbing evening. But she nodded
assent. Might as well have it all
over with at once, she thought, as
Martin strobe into the room with
out answering the word of caution
she added to her nod. She looked
back to see him shaking Jim's hand
as he lay on the bed. Jim looked
almost happy, she observed, and
went on, trying to be satisfied.

LIE DETE(T0R
BEING USED BY
STUDENTS NOW

CLEVELAND, Jan. 24.-Cieveland
College has added to its faculty a
mechanical counselor--a lie detector
that has nothing to do with crime.
The counselor's job: to explore
student minds and ascertain what
is behind the collegians problems.
Some students say they want to
be lawyers because their fathers say
So" observed DR.. Jay Otis, vocation
lal guidance director. 1.-THE detector
indicates the students real attitude
and puts everyone on the right
track"
Some glamour minded co-eds who
insist they want to be private secre-
taries to big-business men agree,
after a session with the detector,
that they really would prefer school
teaching.
Answers colored by obvious
changes in blood pressure, breathing,
muscular tremors and skin reflexes,
as recorded on the machine, are
unquestionably indicative of emo
tional tension, although verbally
the subject may successfully disguise
his feelings" DR.. Crawley said in
explaining operation of the detector.
Taking of the tests is entirely
voluntary, and the college calls the
apparatus not a "lie detector" but
"a behavior research photopoly-
graph" ~
