The students made their first appearance as embryo auctioneers in Saturday’s auction. It was a real thrill for each one of them. Three still seems to be quite an epidemic of stage fright (or buck fever) as it is known in the school, but the patients are improving, as was shown in Saturday night's auction. The school is one big happy family, all anxious to make good in their chosen profession. Our New Year’s resolution: Resolved that we will take advantage of the New Deal offered in the Reppert Auction School, to become real auctioneers, and successful business men. o Grid Stars Pick Beauties Athens, 0.-(U.R) — Three full pages of Ohio University feminine pulchrlte. selected by University of Michigan championship football men, appear in the Ohioan, student magazine, here.

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO ”I’m not afraid of Bill," announced Patricia. She admitted a shade anxiously, “Os course I would hate to have him locate me, or for that matter, have anyone else I used to know locate me—except you,” she ended loyally. She said, "I still don’t understand how you were so sure that 1 had taken a job with Julian Haverholt.” Leda smiled rather oddly. That smile hurt Patricia in an indefinable, queer, little way. Leda pushed back her bleached, com colored hair and said: “I happened to read a newspaper article about a bridge tournament The winners were Julian and Patricia Haverholt. It was then that I was certain.” Patricia’s face turned red. “That doesn’t mean anything," she faltered. “Julian was thinking of the looks of the thing, of my reputation. He thought then, so did I, that it might be better for me to be introduced as his niece, so that I could have the protection of his name, so that people wouldn’t talk. I’ve wished lots of times I hadn't. It was a silly thing to do.” “Not so silly.” “Awfully silly. It—our arrangement isn’t what you think it is,” said Patricia awkwardly, forging stubbornly ahead. “It’s entirely business. We like each other. That’s all it’s ever been.” “As if I would care! I’m for you, Patricia, and always have been. You’re going some place; I admire you for it. I’d do the same thing myself if I had the chance and if it weren’t for Phil.” “It isn’t like that,” persisted Patricia. “If you say it’s not, then it’s not.” Leda was her oldest friend and Leda could not quite believe her. Leda did not care. A great many people would not care. Others would. And that was that. Patricia realized now how far she and the other girl had drifted apart. She dismissed the notion of bringing up the problem of Clark. It was her own problem. When she saw Leda glance surrepititiously at the clock, she rose to go. There was no reason why she should complicate Leda’s relations with Phil Kennedy and Phil was among the group who cared and cared passionately about a girl’s good name. To him Patricia, this lovely visitor in her smart, expensive clothes, would be an unfit companion for his wife. She had known all that when she accepted Haverholt’s offer, Patricia remembered. Still that did not help. “Goodbye, Leda.” “Goodbye, honey. Watch out for Bill McGee. If I hear anything definite I’ll drop you a not* if you want me to.” “I do. Thanks a lot.” They spoke of no future meeting. There would be no future meeting. Patricia would go her own way. It was not the little beauty shop owner’s way. Life had parted them. Farewell, farewell to Leda. Farewell, thought Patricia, to the girl that she herself had used to be. Patricia knew that she would never be that girl again. The vague, haunting unhappiness of the trip downtown persisted in Patricia throughout the night. She woke to it in the morning. From the beginning of her acquaintanceship with Haverholt she had harbored a dim, elusive notion that if she ever chose to return to the past she could. She knew now that she could not. The past was no longer there. People had changed as she

herself had changed. She had dropped out of the old neighborhood life. That life had gone on without her; her place had been filled. Silly to let it hurt her so. After she had bathed in a warm and scented tub, after she had dressed in a cheery little blue and white frock. Patricia resolutely dismissed the disquiet and unrest from her mind end went downstairs to breakfast. Her place now was with Julian. She would keep her thoughts on the present. She would forget the queerness of the talk with Leda, the strangeness of feeling like an outsider with an old time friend, the entire occasion. She was reminded of it again when she read the morning paper. Despite the services of two different clipping bureaus, Haverholt always skimmed through a stack of daily newspapers in hopeful search for some mention of his name. Patricia had fallen into the same luxurious, time-wasting habit. Afterwards they- worked hard on his book. At breakfast they were lazy. This morning Haverholt looked up from his coflfee in surprise at a soft little “Oh” of dismay from his companion. “You look as if you had seen a ghost, Patricia.” “I have—in a way." She thrust the paper at him, pointed. Puzzled, he read of a fruitless police raid on the Sky High club. No liquor had been found. An editorial on the opposite page suggested pointedly that the Sky High owners had been tipped off. That particular den of iniquity, it appeared, was a public disgrace. Julian glanced questioningly at the girl. “Bill McGee owns that club,” she said and told him of the visit with Leda and of the other girl's warning. “I wouldn’t worry,” smiled Haverholt, reacting exactly as she had known he would. Comforting somehow. "Bill McGee may be a big ehot," continued the man. “So am I. If he ever tries to trouble you he will live to regret it." “I’m not worrying particularly,” said the girl. But she dropped her chin to her linked hands and regarded him with troubled eyes. “I wouldn’t care at all,” she resumed, “if only you and I had been truthful from the first. 1 wish—oh, how I wish that I were your niece!” “May I say, my dear, that I'm glad you’re not my niece.” “You may not,” she told him decidedly, sticking to the main issue and diverting him from sentimental by-paths. She said anxiously, uncertainly, “It’s only a matter of time. I’m bound to be found out.” “It does look that way,” he agreed. She twisted slim, white hands. “'What are we going to do about it?” “Nothing,” he replied. “We’ll take what happens when it comes. You’ll find that a lot less terrible than all this crossing of bridges. What of it anyhow? You and I are big enough to stand a little gossip.” “You may be.” “So are you, my darling.” He cocked his head on one side, considering her. “One thing is decided,” she said bitterly, after a while. “You and Leda between you decided it. I'm not going to see Clark Tracy any more.” “I think that’s very wise.” “You needn’t be so gleeful about it!” “But I am, Patricia, I am. It’s great for me to see you coming to your senses. Clark and Marthe and

that crew will be no loss tn my life. You'll find they’ll be no loss in yours.” He was entirely wrong. Even as she made the decision Patricia felt ' a great emptiness descend upon her spirit. Never to see Clark again, never to see him smile, never again to hear his grave, gentle voice — that might be the part of wisdom but it was a bitter wisdom. Why should Marthe March have him? Why should Marthe be able to cheat and yet to win? “I know it’s wise,” said Patricia dully. "It’s wise but it's not much fun.” The days drifted by. Clark was still in the country. If he had returned to town surely he would have telephoned. Or had he telephoned and had Haverholt told some lie? What possible difference could it make? She was never going to see him again. She did, of course. They dropped by the house at the end of the week, Clark, Marthe, Phil Gove, dressed for dancing, demanding that Patricia and Julian join them. Whose idea was it? Clark’s or Marthe’s ? H a d Clark wanted to come because of her’ Or had Marthe wanted to x>me because of Julian? How mixed-up and crazy everything was! "We had planned to play bridge,' Patricia advised the eager, brighteyed group—but weakly. She said. “I’m not dressed.” “Well wait,” argued Clark, locking at her in the thrilling delightful way he had. “You’ve done noth ing but play bridge all week. I know you two.” “I hate dancing,” announced JuHaw. “I won’t be dragged in on any such expedition. D atricia may do as she pleases.” Very suddenly Patricia decided to go. Avoiding Julian’s eye she said she would. One week had made her sick of wisdom. While Haverholt rang for drinks she flew upstairs to dress. Blue, Clark liked blue The printed chiffon was perfect. As she drifted downstairs, conscious of the effect of deep blue with her smooth skin and blazing hair, conscious above all of Clark’s eyes, she wondered if this could be wrong. It did not seem wrong. “I’m glad you decided to come,” was all Clark said. It was enough. Her cup overflowed. “Well, are we ready?” asked Julian briskly. “I hope you folks will take me as I am. I decline to dress on a night like this.” “I thought you weren’t going,” said Patricia, surprised. “I discovered in your absence that the expedition was moving on the Sky High club. I’m curious about that place.” Patricia turned white. Clark saw her tremble. Marthe saw too. The girl felt eyes staring, staring. “I don’t want to go there.” “Why not?” asked Marthe, there as usual with the awkward question. “Why not?” “We went to a bit of trouble arranging it,” explained Clark, helplessly. “Since the police raid the first of the week it hasn’t been so easy. We all thought it might be fun.” “Patricia .doesn’t care for such places,” Julian suggested smoothly, bracing the girl with his look. “Since it’s all arranged, though, I’m sure she won’t mind.” “If you do mind so much ” began Marthe, smiling peculiarly. Patricia heard herself say what she had never meant to sav "111 go.” (To Be Continued) C by King Feature> Syndicate Ina
