he does with TIE envelope we'll

"Oh." Della said. "You follow
him?"
We'll find some way. What's
your address,"
Della gave it and Fenner wrote
it down. "Pll be there at eleven
thirty in the morning. Okay?"
Joyce gathered her things, ex-
changed glances with Della, said,
well" and started to rise.
Fenner got up with them,
reaching for the remainder of his
drink.
"Why don't you finish it?" Joyce
asked. we'll run along but

thinking here as well as any
place.
Thanks, Jack" Joyce said.
Good night"
Good night. See you at eleven
thirty"
They left the room and turned
down the long corridor.
''Now what do you think?"
Joyce asked.
"I'm, glad we came" Della said.
"You were right He will know
what to do. He's so-well. l hard
ly know what to say. Pve never
known anyone quite like him.
There's something about him
something compelling that makes
me feel like shivering inside when
he looks at you a CERTAIN way, and
yet think I like him. I'm not
quite so worried as l was.
Oh there's Uncle Dean
They were in the main lobby
now and Dean Thorndike was
coming towards them from the di-
rection of the elevators. An in
slant later he spotted them and
waved.
We'll" he said, as he removed
his hat, what brings you here?
Out for a drink all by your
selves?"
Joyce hesitated, feeling Delia's
Sidelong glance and deciding not
to mention Jack Fenner. The
name would mean nothing to
Thorndike and if he found out
they'd been. meeting a private
detective there would be other
things he'd want to know. If
Della wanted to explain we'll and
good. if not

when she could ignore the awk-
ward silence no longer.
II had to drop by and see a
fellow" Thorndike said. Thinks
he might want to buy the ketch.
I'll buy another drink"
Thanks. no." Joyce said.
IF you want to drive us home"
Della said, II might be able to
find something for you"
you came in a cab?" Thorn
dixie said. ~"All right, I'll run you
over"
Don't Scream"
THEY stood under the lighted
u marquee while he went for his
car. It was drilling now and the
massive doorman stood by with
his umbrella until Thorndike
drove up.
Although they rode three in the
front seat there was little said
until Thorndike slowed down and
looked for a parking space in
front of Delia's apartment house.

The third game between the
Athletic Department of MOB and
the Naval CommiSsary saw the
league leaders almost fall before
the "Store Boys" of the Navy III
a fracas marked by freqoent fouls.
The ending saw the MOB with a
three-man team. Final score was
43-42.
The game swas nip-and-tuck
throughout with the leading
changing often and 30 seconds be-
fore the final whistle the score
read 1912.
Bruwick, who was fouled, made
the free shot to put his team out
front by one point before the
Commissary lads had an oppor-
unity to attempt field goal.

The second game scheduled be-
tween Air Station No. 4 and the
Army Barracks was forfeited by
the Barracks, but an exhibition
affair between the Marracks and
the Varsity High School was
played.
The Varsity chalked up its
eleventh victory of the season
as the Students exhibited flaw
less ball at times and at other
times played very poorly.

Railroad Boards Rulings
Held Subject 10 Courts

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct l. The
Third United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals ruled yesterday that awards
BY the National Railroad Adjustment
Board are not final and binding"
on railroad management and en-
ployes, but are subject to review by
Federal Courts.
The ruling, which court attaches
said is Of aching importance
to the railroad industry, involved
two workers of the Pittsburgh &
Lake Erie Railroad Co., whose appeal
for seniority rights as yardmasters
had been sustained by the board.
The board ruled that employees
are entitled to seniority standing as
of the date they were first regularly
assigned to their jobs, while the
railroad contended the seniority
rating should date from later
period when the men we're reinstated
as yardmasters, following reclassifi-
cation to the rank of clerk during
the depression.
The change occurred before the
Railway Labor Act was passed in
1884, but the board made the senior
ity ratings retroactive.
In a decision written by Judge
William H. Kirkpatrick, the Circuit
Court held that the act was intended
to preserve seniority rights only after
the law was enacted, and is not
retroactive.
