 "Now, that is an important con- sideration," Barney interrupted smoothly Tt doesn't matter, suppose, what you do in privateP Well, that ought to go both ways, oughtnt itp"
 "Please, Barney" Janet broke in before Lance could reply. Then she turned to Lance . It would have been more decent, of course, to have had this out with Lance alone: but since he had raised the issue, 1t might as well be settled here and now.
 "Lance," she asked quietly, What difference can 1t possibly make what other people think about us. when all this time neither of us has seemed to have any idea what the other was thinkingp I under stand -- now - lot of things that have seemed strange to me these last few days. You see, was on the veranda, too, tonight; and oh, there isn't any use talking, is there? Won't you just-go away Lancer"

 "Dignity?" she echoed, What funny word that can be! And somehow, just now, I'd rather be honest than dignihed wish you'd go, Lance. And please don't come back"
 Then Lance did go, without a word. When Barney lunged about as If to follow him, Aunt Mary quickly turned the key In the lock and planted her small person against the hall door,
 "Oh, no, young man!" she said "I'm here to see that he has at least five minutes start. I'm not going to have you knocking his block ofr', as I suppose you would term 1t, on my doorstep.

 Barney continued to glover for a moment, and then dissolved into laughter.
 Now that's being Q pail" he said. "If you knew how long I've been wanting to push that lizards face in, you'd give me a break"
 When Barney, too, finally went Janet said, her fingertips white from gripping the arm of her chair, of course it's better to And out now, all at once, instead of afterwards Aunt Mary, I'm almost glad I lost my money"

Tony was reminding Gus.
The bartender stood up in his long.
candy-striped drawers, and began to
pull on his own capacious trousers.
When his suspenders were safely over
his shoulders he held up one hand
dramatically and exhibited double
row of teeth marks along his thumb.

For you. maybe" said Gus with
tinality. For me iss enough. 1ss even
too much"
Ben checked Tony's threatening
arm. Let the fat slob go. I'll play
this half"
When they went out on the field,
after the ten minute interval, Ben
crossed to the carriage and Daisy
greeted his uniform with little cry
of delight Il was hoping you were
going to play" she said with smile.

it became apparent that Gus was
losing all appetite tor football. After
every scrlmmage he arose with his
hands clutching some gravely injured
section of his huge frame. Ben could
imagine the joyful zest with which
the Overton rushers we're driving
their fists and knees into that roomy
abdomen.
There was only minute left before
the intermission, when an Overton
back made disastrous mistake. He
was thought late in getting off a
kick. and Tony Fletcher. who had
broken through. blocked the ball,
pounced on 1t. and found himself with
an open road to touchdown.
Nothing could stop him. Ben
thought, standing up in the carriage
and yelling All Tony had to do was
run straight ahead, keeping close to
the sldelinc. and he was following
exactly that plan. Suddenly, for no
clear reason. he saw Tony fall flat on

the whole thing lightly. Il think it's
terribly thrilling" she told him.

on her blue coat was a knot of ribbon

He was going in at fullback. Tony

up a Princeton wedge to open the
second half. The ribbon was not large.
he thought with relief, and not really
very conspicuous, but sharp eyes
were watching him.
"You carry the ball. Sir Galahad."
said Tony. "And for Heavens sake.
keep your eyes away from that
barouche."
The whistle sounded and Ben ran
forward, inside his protecting walls of
guarders. As always in a football
game, until the first physical contact.
he felt only a nervous vacancy where
his stomach should be. Then the
wedge collided with the Overton
rushers, and the Overton captain
came crashing down on top OF him.
Hugging the ball to his chest. he heard
a rowdy voice above him: That's for
Little Boy Blue"
He got up in cold rage, and from
that time on played as he always did.
in fury which shut out pain without
dulling his craft and intelligence. He
lost all track of time. There was a
moment when Tony and Ed were
trying to pull him over white line
by his legs, and the Overton captain
had him around the waist in bone
breaking grip. There was another split
second. in the dark labyrinth of
scrimmage, when hard fist cracked

players, and the opportunity was lost.
"Damnation." said Ben. and sat

The referee. pursued by swarm of

that the half was over.

Indignantly. "One of the spectators

tripped him. saw the whole thing.
Is that allowed"
"If the referee isn't looking" said
Ben sarcastically. He observed that
the complaining players had aban-
doned their protest. and were making
for the dressing room. Il have to 60
over and see Tony. Daisy. Will you
be all right here alone?
Certainly"
He discovered the team in Sunday
school room in the chapel basement.
Tony was standing over Gus. who
was in the act of stripping off his can

sitting around on Brentwood chairs,
their elbows on their knees and their
heads down, breathing heavily.

he caught nigh, twisting punt, ana
almost got free He cut to the center
of the field, and, on the dead run,
tried long field goal. That moment
endured endlessly, as the dropkick
sailed, and then began to fade. He
stood there. and heard at last the dull
plop as the ball hit the bar. teetered
painfully, and then fell safely over.
Tony was slapping him on the back,
Ed was shaking his hand, everybody
was yelling, and the score was 5 to 4
in their favor "How much longer to
play?" he asked Tony.
1.-Two minutes"
They went back to their positions,
and he saw that Daisy had gotten
out of the carriage and was standing
on the sideline. waving her umbrella.
When he raised his hand in reply. the
effort made him realize that he was
mortally tired.
He was not really in the next two
plays, and he had only foggy idea OF
what was happening. Then somebody
must have fumbled, because they
were lined up on the Overton ten yard
line. and heard his signal. Tony got
the pass from center, and gave him
the ball, and he dropped it.
The Overton captain was through,
and scooped it up, and Ben automatic
ally drove him toward the sideline to
keep him from getting loose. But he
could not move fast enough. He found
himself pounding hopelessly at the
heels of his rival. just inside the white
boundary. People were leaning over
the line. watching them, and sud-
denly. in one quick fash, he saw
Dalsy's worried face. At almost the
same instant he saw the Overton
captain stumble, stagger and fall fiat.
and moment later he sprawled on

blew his whistle The game was over.
An interminable hubbub followed.
People were shouting and brandishing
fists in each others faces. and then
suddenly everything was quieter, and

was shaking hands with him. Nice
match" he was saying.
Once in the dressing room, Ben
began to perceive things with greater
clarity, and by the time he had his
clothes on he was aware that his left
wrist was badly sprained, and that he
could expect sensationally discolored
eye in the morning.
so long," said Tony. "Nice work,
old man. You run along and meet the
girl. Well take care of the trunk"
The others ratified the captains
praise by vague murmurs. and even
set up cheer as Ben went out the
door. He found the carriage waiting
at the side entrance of the chapel.
Il knew you'd be exhausted"
Daisy said. 80 drove over to meet
you" She was prettier than ever
when she was kind and concerned.
He eased himself into the seat beside
her and sank back against the cush-
ions. The horses broke into gentle
trot and they spun down the drive
under a tall arch of leafless trees.
"Your ribbon brought US luck. Daisy"
he said.
"Oh, that - I'm sure you forgot
all about it."
Il did?" From his breast pocket he
took. using extreme care, a torn and

All those earlier pickings from the
press, outspoken dramas which
earned Warmers lot of plaudits
and presumably dollars, were just
warmups. The policy behind them
came to climax yesterday with the
critics screening of Confessions OF
a Nazi Spy
It's entertainment merits are not
due for discussion in this depart
ment until Saturday. Even slave
to convention, however, can say of
it now that it is the most outspoken
film even the Warmers have made.
Taken literally from the record of
the sensational roundup OF the
German spy ring last year, 1t is
not at all timorous in calling things
by their right names. Germany ap-
pears as Germany. not under the
alias, Graustark. Herr Hitler and
his important aides are called by
the names their parents conferred
upon them. The picture thus
achieves a realism which heretofore
has belonged to the newsreels and
the documentaries, of the latter
such as March of Time"
AS it would be, the effect is moth
ing short of startling. Moreover, no
time Is lost in heightening that
effect. Not even a cast list, much
less that usual disclaimer OF any
resemblance of character or situ-
alton to reality, appears behind the
title. A kind of Paul Revere, in
silhouette, using radio micro
