DO 1T now - an immutable part of B. B
Peters philosophy. You had to humor Peters
at times, even if it didn't add up to much
sense. And in this case it wasn't the Crane
account that worried B. B. Peters. Jeff knew
that was all wrapped up. He also knew that
BIB. and Angela had been holding hands, but
were like couple of schoolkids who didn't
know how to 60 on from there
Back at the department store, Sewell
found his salesgirl again Remember me?'
She smiled brightly, You're the man who

That's right. Look, miss " Jeff hesi-

had to say, "I'd like to have it again.
Changed your mind, eh?" She moved
toward counter on her left, then stopped

''Gone!" he echoed impossible.

Peters snapped
BIB! You're crazy! I've got work to do!'
Exactly what I'm trying to tell you
Peters replied Jeff sighed. Reason had its
limitations.
At noon the next day he boarded train
at Grand Central, subsequently made con.
nections with two-ten bus, staggered into a
crossroads taxi an hour later, and finally
wound up at the end of shady dirt road.

fun riding thru the gay fields Of
clover, it was really fun, they say,
that's when the wagon turned over.
If my ardent readers would for
give me | would like to slip in
story about a great guy and a
friend of mine.
From the time he was quite a
small fellow, the majority Of the
kids leased him. Whether it be for
his profound ignorance on some
subjects, or his size in comparison
with the fellows his age.
He never had too much of a
happy tendency toward girls, and
therefore didn't spend too much
time in crowds. If by any chance
he did like las we then put it, a
girl: he would keep it to himself
and forever hold his peace.
The same story of his life fol-
lowed thru grade school, Junior
high and finally high school. Main
tanning the same personal friends,
going in early mites and staying
out of trouble.
So far our character seems to
be a goody- goody boy, but as many
Of his friends found out he came
forth with an effort that has won
him acclaim in and about Mime
apolis.
Have you ever been to a foot
ball game? Yes, l know we all
have, but l mean high school foot
ball game where feelings between
schools are somewhat on the
rough side. If you pay close at
tention you will notice that if a
man on the opposite team is hurt,
and a good man at that, the crowd
is rather happy about the whole
affair, for it means a better
chance for them to win. You also
notice that the cheer leaders from
his school lead a cheer for the in
jured lad and the issue is closed.
Well, what l am getting at is the
fact that for the first time in my
life | heard the opposing school
cheer for a boy not fighting for
them.
