you talk to him. Gee, I haven't soon you in a long time and
 ...ey Stopped in the yellow moonlight and Bill kissed her They walked on in silent com munion.
 Impossible stuff :" Helen murnlured. "Bill, are you sure we've tried every way to get Buck hearing before the board"
 You heard what MT. Skelton said"
 q know, Bill, but he doesn't have the whole say"
 He's president, isn't heP He and Peskin run the board"
 Helen wrinkled her brow. But who runs MT. Skelton and MT Peskin, Bill?"
 Bill shook his head. T don't get you" :,
 "Shame!" Helen laughe d. "You've been sleeping in political science class. It's the people, Bill like your ftaher and my brother The board only works for them If the people say, We want Buck Mentor then the board has to give in. That's democracy"
 "Hmm" Bill was doubtful. How are you going to get the people to yell for Buck?"
 "A free press," Helen said pro- foundly, then giggled. Say, l sound like the Bill of Rights, don't F But it's true, Bill. The Clar- ions pretty wonderful when you come right down to 1t. It fought against a bum coach, and 1t can help hire a good one"
 Pat Hurly!" Bill exclaimed. Remember the remark he. made about Buck at he stadium that night?"
 DO you suppose you could see him. Bill?"
 You bet I can try, Helenl I'll cut classes in the morning and go up to the Clarion"
 Helen was excited. Well get Drowsy to talk to the squad and get them to work on their par ents!"
 "oh, Boy Bill grinned. "The people speak we hope!'
 
 Bill, almost forgot to tell you. Bucks been taking pictures of Vests games. Well, I mean he showed us how. Drowsy took some and I shot few. They're good Bill. They show everything Landis has been doing wrong.'
 II wonder why Buck did that?"
 He said he wanted to try out the camera, but I think he hoped"
 That's it." Bill shouted. "He thought he might get chance to show them to the board"
 Gee, I never thought of that Bill. You're right. Buck can tell you in a minute where every one of Landis' plays went wrong"
 Helen" Bill said solemnly we've ot to show those pictures to the board. It's the only way we can prove to them that Buck knows his stuff"
 They had retraced their steps as they talked and were passing the drug store. Peskin had gone and the place was in darkness A coupe stood at the curb, motor idling.
 Look, Bill,9 Helen whispered Isn't thta someone trying the door of the drug store?"
 The man turned, saw then Guess the places closed up," he muttered, then jumped into . the car and was gone.
 Funny" Bill said. Anyone could see that the store was closed What do you suppose he was look ing for?"
 Did you notice that he was stuffing something in his pocket? It looked like burlap sack"
 "The sack banditP" Bill shook his head. He always pulls his hold-ups when there's someone around to hand over the cash"
 Maybe that's why he was star. ing in to see If MT. Peskin was still there"
 Maybe" Bill said. But whats the ditferenceP we've got more important things on our mind"
 They talked eagerly of theil plans until they were nearly home then Bill said, Helen, how mucf chance do you think we have ol putting this over?"
 Why, Bill?"
 Well, I've got to decide some. thing pretty important. Today ole Peskin fired me for seeking Bull lethead."
 "Bil, that's a shamel What art you going to do?"
 "The worst of it is, Buck wants to take a job in the east" HI showed her the letter and ex' plained its contents. If mai this, we might as well give ul our idea. Once Bucks given hi word ."
