iShed buying, the book had become 8 bond.
 Summers wrote paragraphs about downtown football gambling, at tacking it viciously as a blot on amateur athletics. He drew apt contrast between a typical crooked gambler and baby Scooter as two influences" on the gridiron. This anti-gambling campaign was one in which all the local papers had joined.
 The papers arranged, too, for Nancy Hale's story to be published all over the nation, and that same week famous picture magazine sent it's best photographer down from New York. He flew in, took every possible shot of Nancy and baby Scooter and the team and the upstairs apartment. By that time cadets had made the loft into a veritable dream house."
 "Itll be three, four weeks before we publish" the photographer said, in farewell. But be ready, lady. Something big can pop for you. You got the story and you look the part. Know what I mean?",
 Nancy didn't know what he meant, and neither did Blythe, who stood by. Blythe was a guest there for the night, and while feeding Scooter his supper and romping him to bed, the two girls talked.
 "It's the happiest I've ever been. Ever!" Nancy avowed.
 Pop says you're making a good secretary. Does he bully you?"
 "He spells me. Oh, By. imagine it! I have job. With 8 salary. Actual money to spend. A place to Hve!"
 It was still incredible to the widow, slsa who had had so little and needed so much. Halfway through the dishes, they heard a call below. Nancy poked a pretty head out her kitchenet window.
 "Yes?"
 Unlock for me, will you? I'm delivering something"
 "Oh. Duane!"
 The way she shrieked it, the way she fled downstairs instantly, left Blythe cold with apprehension again. But in a moment the other two were coming back very noisly. Duane Hogan carried a huge box of fruit that bulged at every crack.
 They're oranges, super-orangeS," he explained. From Dads ranch down on the Rio Grande. Scooter is to eat one a day, and you are to eat two"
 He wouldn't say much more and he wouldn't stay for a visit, but if he had worn red suit and a white beard he couldn't have made Nancy happier.
 He's the best Santa I ever had" she thrilled aloud, and meant 1t.
 You like him, don't you, dear?" Blythe ventured.
 Nancy put her tea bowl down. She went in to the bed, kicked of her slippers, while the other girl curled up in rocker. Only then did Nancy answer.
 "Of course" she said. gazing of dreamily. "Of course do. You have no idea what Duane has done to mel"

EMBARRASSING PLEA
CHAPTER "

The Lincoln Field football team was in what might have been called executive session. Moreover, the discussion had little to do with football.
 Coach, I move you, sir" rather formally, for him, Norman Dana was addressing Coach Pop Miller, that we just keep them right here. Upstairs, you know, is a two-room spot where the trainer lived last year. It even has kitchenet. Nancy could do your office work and live upstairs, while the youngster can-well, hell he can rustic around downstairs here and get in our way!"
 It brought laughter, but it brought applause. too. Blythe Mill Ter, listening, felt her heart leap q bit at the generosity of the idea.

 Big Duane Hogan stood up, sig naling. He was so quiet, usually, that he commanded instant atten- tion now.

 It amounted to on oration, from Duane; And it settled the matter to everybody's liking. Maybe you yourself remember how the two sports editors who had sensed something unusual after Saturdays wreck proclaimed the affair. aElond Beauty Is New House Moth CT for Lincoln Gym" was the way the evening Express headlined it..
