she had ever known.
Clancy was back on the job. COwan missed
him again. He straight armed Billet, and
no one was near him when he scored. Buck

1t was then that she saw the empty trouser leg.
Her only thought was, how did he get in
on his crutches without being conspicuous?
She did not remember any confusion when he
came along and sat beside her. He must be
very expert and very confident
She said why, you re Buck France
He nodded. 'They're making me a new

Saturday games and so few of them know the
difference between punt and placement, a
forward and a lateral, block and tackle,
she thought.
Mary knew. Before she had met Joe and
been swept into big city life and the maelstrom
of prenuptial parties, she had been happy in
the little college town ..
This big bruiser on her right had probably
been football player An old Yale Blue no
doubt The band blared, slightly off key, and
a lot of Yales stood up. He did not stand UP.
Now what was his name? Branch? No.
Blanche? No, of course not! She giggled He
looked at her and said, You're beautiful.
The band went right on playing and every
one was cheering Joe was oblivious of her,
talking to her friends about Yale's new pass
play, of which he knew nothing save what
was printed in the sports pages
The teams were now going on the field. She

The 1.-THE. sturdy figure in orange and black
was ripping the Yale line to shreds. Mary
stared, seeing a great plunger, cool, heady
youth who waited and looked and slammed
into the guards, spreading them for short,

he. But the pressure is terrific in a Princeton

had cost him the leg. That was three no

on her right and someone introduced

drink from Joe Bradley on her left so she just
nodded and smiled at the big man.
Joe was being overland again that day. so
that everyone could see and applaud. She
shrank from his ministratiOns, but her chin
was firm and she did not let the Others see
what it was costing her. If within her there
was cowardice, she told herself, she could at
least maintain front.
All the people chartered and laughed loudly
bracing themselves against the biting wind
which swept in at the open end of the horse
shoe. The Iales trotted out in their neat blue
and the big man beloved, Come on, Bull

He had a voice like foghom off Sandy
Hook. Mary looked at him doubtfully. He
was necessarily close to her side, the lap robe
carelessly over his thighs his overcoat open
at the throat. He had bright blue eyes and he
was very excited What was his name? She
never remembered names.
Joe was at her again, tucking in the robe,
demanding her attention. She knew that in
moment he would turn away and be bright
and gay with the Others of the party, that his
gestures towards her were carefully calculated,
a part of his beautiful manners. They were
not phony. They only appeared to be phony
She was sure of that, but the knowledge did
not help.

every American would make and keep that resolu

more important, about ten thousand people would he

FIRE isn't somebody else's business Its your business

BANK AND NEWSPAPERS

Newspapers and banks have at least thing in
common the opinion of the Quachita Citizen of w est

'The most difficult task that think of the
moment is to bank newspaper to please every
one the Citizen IF the banker he
is charged with not being helpful to the community If he
lends the deposors money freely he criticised
when the borrower can't repay and the bank Closes The
newspaperman who prints all the regardless of who
makes it, is criticised and called sensational leaves

The best plan for the banker the newspaperman
follow to run his business the way he thinks it should
be run and let the critics criticse."
