jeff was highly pleased. He who
had murdered Kirk Reynolds was
about to avenge the death of the
man he had killed by directing the
lynching of an innocent person. Mr..
Buffers sense of humor was not
highly developed, but this struck
him as irresistibly funny. He was
grateful to Babe and to this satur-

the lagoon and sliding it into the
black, shallow water. He knew he
was taking desperate chance, but
that-he figured-was better than
being recognized en- route to his
home, and then of having Kinks
body found.
He escaped. He slithered away
into the shadows of the night. He
lurched back through the swamps
to his home in Big Moccasin. And
for hours he drank steadily. He
was palsied with fear. And all the
next day he drank until someone
rode by his place and mentioned
that Kirk Reynolds had been muir
dered, and jeff had asked. "Who
done it?''
Dunno" said his informant, but
folks is sayin' it was Barney Hamil-
ton or either Andy Forrest. 1t sho'
is one hell of a mess"
Barney Hamilton! Andy Forrest!
Jim Owenby! For days jeff had felt
his courage returning. Obviously,
he had not been seen on that fateful
night; obviously, he was not sus-
pected. Well and good Leave 'em
think it was one of them damned
aristocracks though there was
always the uncomfortable thought
that the popular suspects might be
able to prove their innocence-in
which event the search would turn
elsewhere. So long as no person
was convicted. Jeff knew he was in
danger.
That was jeff Butler. That was
the man to whom Babe Henkel had
Glacier County chief., 1939-10-27

come for assistance. She was seek
ing to enlist the help of the muir
derer in an effort to avenge the
murder.
Babe was surprised-and pleased
with the readiness of JEFF Buffers
response. She had hardly anticipat-
ed so eager an alliance. She had
sought jeff because the lanky
swamp angel was the only person
in all Beauregard County whom she
knew had reason to hate Barney
Hamilton. And she did not know
that JEFF was still thinking.
He was thinking that if anything
happened to Barney Hamilton, the
public would be glad enough to con-
slider the matter closed. If a suspect
has been executed for murder, the
populace does not interest itself in
other suspects. 1t is willing enough
to accept the fact of punishment as
proof of guilt. And so JEFF remained
willing-though cautious.
Babe caught Dan Creedon's eye.
The gambler nodded and Babe took
the hint, pressing her advantage.
She said, They'll never do any
thing to Barney Hamilton for kill
ing Mr.. Reynolds, will they?"

"Shuh! They never give nobody

Babes voice was hard but per-

"Yes'm. I sho' do"
"Well, so do 1. And Pm not going

something about it."
"Yes'm A man like him

Jeff's voice trailed off, Three pairs
Of eyes looked startled, in recogni-
ton Of the fact that a chance re-
mark had given them their cue. JEFF
repeated, HE ought to be
lynched :"
The idea penetrated. Babe said,
IF the law won't punish him-some-

about Il. She was convinced that
Barney had killed Kirk. And Jeff
Butler was thinking clearly now.

w HETHER or not college foot

basically sounder game through rev.
dictionary rule changes is a ques-
ton upon which coaches and fans
alike disagree.
Many coaches, and 1t must be ad-
mitted that most Of them are Of pro-
fessional clubs, would like to have
institutional teams adopt regulations
governing the play-for-pay boys.
Most college mentors are content
with the existing set-up. OF course
many of them have their own ak
to grind-they would like to see a
few minor changes, but on the whole
are satisfied with things as they are.
Heading the former group is
George p. Marshall, outspoken own
er Of the Washington Redskins, who
has called upon the college rule
makers to save their game from 60
ing the way of the dod0 bird by
adopting pro rules.
An outstanding advocate Of rules
as they are is Amos Alonzo Stage,
the No. I Grand Old Man of Ameri-
can football, who entered his fiftieth
year Of coaching this season. Stagg
is rounding out his career in the
comparative obscurity of a small
campus at the College of the Pacific

CHAPTER XIV

Jeff Butler devoted himself, with
understandable enthusiasm, to the
task Of organizing a mob to avenge
the murder which he himself had
committed.
Mr.. Butler recognized the value of
approach on ethical grounds
though he had never heard the word.
He knew that for more than a month
the swamp angels had been famed
into a fine frenzy of Indignation
against the sins which were-sup-
posedly-attributab to Cathedral
Gardens and the owners thereof. He
knew that his contemporaries were
always responsive to the idea of a
moral crusade.
Misunderstanding with the reli-
able Glenn Ross-Mr. Butler spent
the next morning and part of the
afternoon visiting a meticulously Sc
lected list of friends. Men who had
grievances against the constituted
authorities. Men in whom class ha-
tired was deeply rooted. He drove
from cabin to cabin in a battered
old farm-wagon, the wheels of which
tilted at crazy angles; and in the
back OF that wagon was five-gallon
Jug OF raw corn whiskey. Mr.. But
Ter was shrewd enough to under
stand that liberal draughts of the
yellow fluid gave additional persua-
siveness to his exhortations.
The response was invariably sat-
isfactory. Mr.. Butler, in each case,
approached the matter circuitously;
taking great pains to keep himself
reasonably sober, though not so So
Der as to find himself tongue-tied.
In certain cases he learned swiftly
enough that he had erred in believ-
ing that these particular gentlemen
would be responsive to the idea of a
hanging-bee. In other cases he found
that violent oratory, accompanied
by much more violent whiskey-
aroused the virtues of his hearers to
point where they insisted upon
taking drastic action.
Mr.. Buffers clinching arguments
were, in all cases, identical. He
impressed upon his listener of the
moment the fact that pulpits had
been ringing with condemnation of
recent iniquities, he stated that the
persons who succeeded in stamping
out these evils would have done a
divine service; he planted the idea
that it was safe-legally and moral
ly. He called upon Biblical prece-
dent to prove that it was right to
destroy evil and reminded his
friends that Sodom and Gomorrah
had been wiped out with considera-
BILE loss of life. If then-however,
indirectly-the Bible approved such
action, certainly the residents of Big
Moccasin Swamp were entitled to
conduct themselves in like manner.
There is never too great difficulty
in organizing crusade, nor appre-
ciable trouble in rousing men of linn
tied intelligence to venture forth in
an effort to improve the moral tone
OF the world, particularly when there
is no danger attendant upon the en-
terprise. JEFF Butler was shrewd
enough to know how to approach his
men. keen enough to understand how
much to say and when to stop say
ing it and so, by four o'clock
that afternoon they commenced to
gather on the dogtrot Of Jeff's house
where q meal Of corn-bread and
sausage cakes and gravy had been
prepared BY an ancient Negro wom-
an. The meal finished, pipes and
chewing tobacco were produced, and
I new flve-gallon jug appeared, filed
to the brim with false courage.

finally she spoke. as though the mere
fact OF words might clarity her
ideas.
Listen-there's just exactly one
guy in this town who might help
out"
'.who?"
She spoke in a tense whisper:
JEFF Butler!"
Creedon shook his head. "Who is
he?"
That lanky swamp angel: the one
that lost his job at the Gardens and
then got beat up by Barney Hamil-
ton Ever since then he's been loaf
ing around the county swearing he
was gonna get revenge saying
that he didn't intend to let any man
get away with that sort of rough
stuff"

mented Dan.
Long shot-sure. But it's the only
chance we got This bird has lived
around here all his life, and he
knows the ropes. And whether or
not he's sore enough to play ball
with us-he still might give US an
idea"
Dan nodded judicially. ''It might
work"
Its gotta work. jeff Butler hates
Barney Hamilton. He'd mighty well
like to get good safe crack at
him."
Dan said, "Babe-ain't you goin'
kinda strong?"
What do you mean, strong?"
This sounds like a killing you're
thinking of
So what? Didn't Barney Hamil-
ton kill Kirk"

They drove east-toward Big Moo
casin Swamp. Their road wound
into the swamp. At best, it was
poor, and eventually they came to
the old and untouched section of
highway: road-bed reinforced with
sapling trunks. They were iolted
and jounced numerically on this
corduroy road; their wheels skidded
in the deep sandy ruts. Dan Cree.

Ulterior Motives?

many college football rules were
placed ON the books for selfish rea-
sons. Coaches who wanted to capt.
talize on their own strength or their
opponents weaknesses inaugurated
a new rule. He charged specifically
that goal posts were moved back Of
the goal post lines mot to protect
the players but to handicap the foes
of rule committee coaches whose
squads were scheduled to meet clubs
with better kickers. He named, too,
the college ban against throwing .
forward pass unless the passer is
at least five yards behind the line
Of scrimmage. That rule, he de-
clared, was put in through the pres.
sure Of coaches who knew their
own passers were 0utclassed.
On the other hand, Stage feels
that the rules of the college game
are settled to their permanent form.
There will be no further rapid and
radical changes. During his SO years
as a coach he has watched the game
develop from the kicking to the car
rying to the razzle-dazzle game. He
remembers the 15-man team. He
remembers when the playing field
was first called gridiron. He was
on the Yale team when smuggling was
abolished. Stage coached through
the period when indoor football was
popular.
