r/M YBOY’ bu FRANCIS WALLACE J AUTHOR. OF "HUDDLE"

SYNOPSIS After three brilliant seasons as a varsity back for Thoindyke. "Big Jeff" Randolph is about to close his collegiate football career in the annual Tournament of Roses game on New Year's Day. Back home in tiny Athens, mid-west factory town. “Jeff's” adoring Mom is listening to the game on the radio. To her the giant “Jeff” is still her little. Tommy of yesteryears who first starred at “the football” in high school so well that he was lured east to the wealthy and historic Thorndyke institution. Pop and Uncle Louie have gone downtown to hear the returns. One of the neighbor's children invites Mom to listen on his big set but she declines the invitation. . .. CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX He ran back across the street, flying. Joie was a nice boy, and couldn’t help it if his mother had put him up to it. She could keep her radio and Mom would never hear anything no matter how bad she wanted to if she had to listen to that one's. The boy tftts all right although Mom never could unfierstand it; but she’d have a fine time over there watching Jenny Farrell's mouth trying to put on hypocrite smiles; and listening to the banty rooster dude who would like as not try to sell her some more insurance. Anyhow, Tommy was playing a good game; so Thorndyke must be winning. . . . Yes, there it was. the first half was over and Thorndyke was leading 13-6 and oh, what a game this Big Jeff Randolph was playing, the announcer said. Then Mom heard it very plain: “Yes sir, yes sir, Mrs. Randolph’s little boy is certainly showing these Coast players how to play that old football game today.” Mem’s hair stood up, almost, and her face got red and she had to sit down. She had heard her name mentioned on the radio. All over the country it had gone! She hoped Jenny Farrell had that turned on so everybody in the neighborhood could hear. Hardly knowing why, Mom decided she’d bake a chocolate cake which Pete liked so well; it would give her something to do during the second half and they would all be conring home hungry and full of talk anyhew when it was over; and Mom wasn’t much interested anyhow since Tommy was winning and everything was all right. So she mixed up the batter and put it in the oven and began putting the etuff on to warm and while she was at it, mixed up some biscuits; the noise was getting stronger on the radio, the announcer was trying to outshout the crowd; something was happening. Mom wiped the flour from her hands,on her apron and put her ear close. “Oh boy, oh boy, the place is wild. . . . Southern Cal has tied the score and is moving up the field toward the Thorndyke goal. . . . Seven minutes left to play, anything may happen yet. . . . The Trojans are hot, red hot and the Titans are tiring from the heat. . . . They’ve just taken time, out . . . That Big Jeff Randolph boy is trying to pep them up. . . . Has he played a game today? . . . He’s mixed up in everything. . . . He’s the whole Thorndyke team. . . . He’s stopped the last three plays. .. “All right, they’re lining up now, punt r formal-sen, Trojans’ ball, fourth down, two to go, on the Thomdyke eighteen-yard line. . . . This is the play. . .

9. What Is a sabot? 10. Name the Governor of Kentucky. ———————o— — ■ ■ ' ■ Church of God A large crowd was in attend- j ance at the Church of God last evening. The building was filled 1 1 almost to capacity. The St. Paul I I Men's chorus sang some songs for ,us which were enjoyed by all. ■ Rev. Bright, the Evangelist, preached a splendid sermon from the text "Prepare to meet thy! i God. O house of Israel." Every-1 i one enjoyed the service. Tonight. Rev. Bright has a very ! special message on the subject. 1 “The Great Unpardonable Sin" or

Mom strained to bear, her heart pounding, her lips murmuring. “It's a pass to the right, into the flat, two men are playing the ball—” the noise grew so loud Mom could not hear. A street car bounded down the tracks and nothing but a jumble came out of the machine. Mom quickly shut it off and ran out to the front door, opened it slightly, eareful that nobody saw her. Mrs. Farrell’s new radio was roaring: “down the sidelines, he shakes off a man, two others hit him—oh, how they hit him! — they all go down—and it's over. It’s OVER! Big Jeff Randolph has just intercepted a pass and made a sensational run of about ninety yards for a touchdown. . . . That's the game. . . . How they’re cheering him. Oh, what a boy! What a football player!” Mom leaned weakly against the wall, smiling in the darkness. “Wait a minute. . . . Somebody’s hurt. . . . Can’t tell who it is. . . . One of the three who went down. . , . They’ve gathered around him. ... A doctor is running out . . Mom knew before they said it. Her lips began to move. “It’s Randolph, Big Jeff Randolph, the star of the game, the greatest all-Ameriean of the year. ... They’re bringing out a stretcher from the sidelines. Must be hurt badly. . . . Wait’ll I check on this. . . . Hold, please. . . . This may mean the game for Thorndyke because that boy has been Thorndyke today. They’re carrying him off now —well know in a minute what it is. Mem was on her knees in the dim doorway. “Oh, God!” she said fervently, “O, God, in Thy mercy take care of him. He's my wonderful boy, O, God! Don’t let it be him. Let it be me, O God! I’m old. He’s young. Let it be me, O God! Please let it be me. 11l do anything You say, O God, but save my boy, my little boy,” The voice of the announcer rang through the street. “There's a report it’s his spine. The crowd is still; 11l try to check on that from the hospital. They’re taking him to the hospital. 11l try to have it before the game is over. . . . Number 19, is running out to take his place—that's Temple, a good punter but not an offensive man. Well, Big Jeff left them the game. All they have to do is hold it now. They're lining up. Temple is going to try for that extra point.” • • • His spine! A broken neck; a broken back, paralysis. This was the end of Tommy. But still Mom prayed: “Make it a mistake, O God . . . You canMo it, God. . . . Take me now in his place; let it be me, O God, let it be me!” . . . She fell in the doorway. • • * When Mom awoke she was on the couch in the front room downstairs and the place was full of people. Doctor Long was bending over her. Mom couldn’t imagine what had happened for a minute. Doctor Long was smiling like he always did when she called him for something that didn’t amount to anything. Mom felt foolish with everybody around—even Mrs. Farrell. Then she remembered. She tried to get up but the family doctor firmly held her, still smiling as though it were just a case of colic. “If you must do things like this worrying about arhat big son of yours then you just stay here and rest for awhile," he said, being severe as he did with children “I|

think the ones she should worry about were those California boys, eh Jim?” “Sure,” Pop said, "whenever they hurt Tom it’ll be a fine day. You lay still now, Lizzie, and rest up." Mom looked around. Mrs. Flannigan, Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Farrell, Cousin Emmie and Steve; Steve and Cousin Emmie had aprons on —they must be getting supper. It must have been a long time since she had fainted. Tommy must be all right; still, they hadn’t just said so. Pete came in with a bucket of coal for the fire in the grate. “Hy, Mom—how’s the pepper?” He came over to her side and she took his hand. Mom was kind of weak. Steve came and stood by Pete but didn’t say anything, just looked—Steve was one of the kind that did. Mom felt good with them together there. It was a picture—and a promise. If anything happened to her, Pete would be taken care of almost as well as his own mother would do—and Pop, too. “Is he all right, Pete?” Mom felt that Pete wouldn’t fool her. Pete knew it, too. He said: “He'll be all right, Mom—you know Tom. I’ll bet he’s eating a big meal right now—you know how he can eat.” Mom smiled. She knew Pete wanted her to smile; still, Pete hadn’t really said Tom was all right. “Did the announcer say anything more? Did he check up?” Mrs. Johnson spoke up quickly. “All he said, Mis’ Randolph was there was a report that it wasn’t nothin’ serious. Now you just be still and don't worry.” “Sure, Mis’ Randolph,” Mrs. Flannigan said, “you be keerful and be still, like Doctor Long says.” Mrs. Farrell said, real niee:, “Now you just got nothin’ to take on about, Mis’ Randolph—if you'd a heard them cheerin’ Tommy and all the nice things they said about him when it was over—l tell you it was just grand. I tell you if it was my Joie they was cheerin’ that way I’d be dancin’ a jig.” Mom smiled. The poor thing was trying to be nice. It was always that way in time of trouble. Mom said: “Your Joie is a good boy, too, Mis’ Farrell.” Out in the kitchen Mom saw Florrie Johnson washing the dishes. She didn’t want Florrie in her house but it was always the ones > talked about the most that seemed to have the biggest hearts. The door opened and Uncle Louie came in. Mom could see he had been having a little New Year’s cheer. Well, the poor old fellow didn’t have much enjoyment out cf life. He looked at her. “Take it easy, Lizzie,” he said, “I still don’t believe it.” Mom’s heart began to beat. She knew they had been keeping something from her. She saw Doctor Long and Pop looking at Uncle Louie and she spoke quickly: “Don't believe what. Uncle Louie?” “Why there’s a report downtown Tom’s dead—but I said you— ’’ Mom felt a cold, clammy hand seize her heart; she shook with a chill. Doctor Long was giving her something to swallow; he was talking: “I tell you it isn’t true, Mrs. Randolph; he’s been drinking; there are always rumors around. You just depend on what I say.” She felt sinking down. Tommy, with all of his beautiful life before him. just couldn’t be gone; it wouldn’t be fair, God, jt wouldn’t be fair. Thy will be done, O Lord, but it wouldn’t be fair to take my Tommy! * (To Be Continued) Copyrig-bt. 19W. by Francis Wallace • Distributed by Kin< Features Srndirate, Ine. ||
