AGAIN THE STRANGER
CHAPTER XI

Blythe thought that her new plan was tightening down to crystal clarity by the time she got of the bus at her home this Sunday eve ming. But her thinking was inter- rupted when she recognized two sports editors coming out her front door.
 "Hil" she greeted them. Want any free advice or anything?"
 They leased back in kind; they liked Coach Millers lovely daugh- ter. Then they wanted to know more about coach.
 . Just a cold" Blythe explained. pHit him last night, after the game.
 Sounds croupy, Miss Miller. " Summers of the Journal said that. 'sKeep him in bed. We don't want him getting the pneumony!"
 They made headlines out of 1t Monday. Coach Pop Miller in bed, and game with the powerful State U. team scheduled for Thursday. With luck, the doc said he might be up for the game, but meanwhile assistant coaches would have to run things.
 'Psychologically, this is a break for the Lincoln cadets" Summers wrote in his column of chit-chat. sThere might have been a letdown after the sensational TO win over the Aggies Saturday, due to over confidence. But with Coach Pop missing, his lads will now want to prove their ability to carry on for him. They'll probably work their heads of and try to chase the State gang out of the stadium which will be quite feat if accomplished"
 Pop felt better by Monday morn ing and wanted to get up. Nom and Blythe overruled him. Blythe cut her own school classes and biked out early to his athletic field office to handle whatever business came along before 10 a. m. Nancy Hale. Pops secretary. worked from 10 till 2 each day.
 First thing was stack of Mon- day mail. Newspapers from other towns. Advertisements. Assorted business matter. Blythe slit open the envelopes and stacked the let- ters neatly, glancing at each to see if any were urgent. One letter, which had come first class. arrested her at once. It had only a few words typed in the middle of a white sheet, and it was not signed. It read:
 You can't get by with that.
 Say nothing. And be ready.
 
 Blythe's eyes went wide and her mouth made e round red o. She picked up the envelope again. Sure aEOush. E had hean 1Aaxk@a 'Pag-

sonal.' But even SO, she had al-
 ways opened everything in Pops mail, even the frequent Personal letters which came usually from ambitious kids wanting to learn football.
 On sudden impulse she opened his middle desk drawer. She probed far back in 1t. Yes, the fat envelope was still there!
 She didn't open that, nor even inspect 1t further. But something intuitive told her that this envelope was associated with this personal mail; also that Pops obvious anger last week. when she had seen the furtive caller leaving his office and had found the envelope on his desk, were somehow all connected. It was not clear, not by any means. More over, 1t was none of her business. Or-was it? After all, Pop belonged to her.
 You can't get by with that. |. Say nothing. . . Be ready. :. Blythe read the words over and over A vague sense of fright had frightened inside her. She wished she had someone to talk to. Pop was home, sick in bed. The big field house and gymnasium were empty at this hour, save for Mrs. Nancy Hale and baby Scooter who lived in the cute loft" apartment on the far wing. And, too. the pa- fNnrc hod Nay.Viad 1oaxxyc of Da,1ps Iaa ing in bed. Readers would know they couldn't call on him in per- son today. Tiff this-this type warning
 Blythe tried to think it through, and couldn't. She looked at her watch. Nine-twenty. Forty min- utes before Nancy would come down. and anyway = did she want to take Nancy Hale into her con- fidence? She didn't feel any too cordial toward her!
 That s absolutely childish!" Blythe suddenly reprimanded her self. "Of course I must talk with Nancy. We are friends. She's Pops right-hand helper now, and she'll probably know all about it. It's just - just some silly message. I imagine. Some kid trick"
 She put a weight on the stacked letters and got up to leave the of- flee. She would just go talk to Nancy about 1t now. She shouldn't be regarded as 'intruding, this late in the morning.
 Outside she stopped suddenly. There, walking away from her, was that same man!
 She couldn't have been mistaken. He had the same hurried manner, the same derby hat. the same over- coat with upturned collar. A small- statured man who, even from the rear this way, looked a bit stopped. Moreover, he too. was starting up Nancy Hale's Stairsl
 A sense of emergency gripped Blythe. Now. She looked around frantically. She couldn't have said exactly why. After all. there was nothing to be distressed about, nothing tangible. What was wrong with mere man climbing Mrs. Hale's stairs, here in mid-morning? But
 Instinctively tip-toeing, Blythe advanced. She peered around the corner of the gym. Yes. a taxi waited on the street. The driver sReA AaA hiA mntag zaRnan@A aha

people about 35 percent more vitamin
B-l than we could get from foods
prior to that dismal event. This in
crease in thiamine has been due to
the enrichment of white breads and
flours with vitamins and minerals
natural to whole wheat.
When all our white bread and flour
are enriched, as all should be and will
be if every consumer will demand it,
our intake of this moraie-producing
vitamin B-1 will be increased by
about "a percent. Today, somewhat
over two-thirds of all our bread and
flour is enriched.
Even before vitamin-enrichment
of white bread began more than a
year ago, we obtained most Of our
thiamine from bread and cereals,
lean pork, and milk, but many or
most of us did not get enough of this
spark-plug vitamin. Thiamine is re-
quired by the body for its proper use
of food energy, for normal appetite
and digestion, for a normal nervous
system, and for various other bodily
functions. Plenty of it prevents war
filters.
But thiamine, significant as it is, is
| not the only necessary Vltamln. we
need all of the vitamin B group, par
ticularly riboflavin (B-O and niacin.
These are present in enriched white
bread and flour, whole grain products,
milk and meats.
We likewise require vitamin A from
butter, milk, yellow vegetables, and
vitamin-fortified food fats; and vita
min c from fruits and green leafy
vegetables. In addition, vitamin D
is necessary for infants and growing
children, particularly when sunshine is
scanty.
All six of these working vitamins
are victory nutrients. So are essential
food-minerals, such as calcium, phos-
phorus, iron, and others. So are
body building proteins. Get them all
from a well-balanced daily diet of
energy-giving and protective foods,
pasteurized milk, enriched bread,
fruits, eggs, meats, and vegetables.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
has called its passenger managers
for a conference Tuesday and
"wednesday at Baltimore to work
put a plan for elimination Of any

hdopted at a recent meeting of rail-
road officials from many lines at
Chicago.
Dan H. Norman, general pas
eenger agent of the B. & O.. said
the conferences would go over all
brain schedules With a view to pos
bible elimination Of trains corsid-
ered non-essential. All matters
which were taken up at the Chicago
meeting will be gone over at the
Baltimore sessions, Mr.. Moorman
Said, to determine what the B. 6 O.
)nay do.
Anything that can be done to
make a greater contribution to the
winning of the war and serving the
Government in this emergency will
be done" said Mr.. Norman.
I'VE want to eliminate anything
that is non-essential," he said, ito
provide greater service for those
who must travel"
The need for similar action by
Farious roads was emphasized at
the recent Chicago meeting Of
