First of all it took Dave T rveer. the team's scoring ace John "Brud" Holthouse. Joe Keller and Bob Kuhnle were others lost from the first five or six men. as well as D sJean. who saw some action Only three boys are back from those who saw much action last year- Bob Klepper. Tom Lengerich and Dick Briede Bob is one of the bigger boys on the team, standing up th re about six feet two inches. The 1942-43 aggregation will in all likelihood be built around these boys Despite several promising seniors. juniors and sophs there’s a sophomore who may be up th re in the first five or six. if he develops the way Coach Zayner hope*.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO 1 Rann rose, and they danced again, but she did not feel elated when she returned to the table. She remembered that he had turned down her poet, sight unseen. She said, "Do you remember the Torches, of Charleston?" He appeared to welcome the change of subject "Very well. Do you know them?" "Hugh Richards." she answered, “is the pen name of Biron Torche." He thought this over. "Which Biron Torche?" he asked. "1 can’t tell you which. He’s the only one 1 know." "The Biron Torche ! knew Is dead," said Rann. “He’d be about fifty now. I remember his mother, quite a dowager, still beautiful. My father said she had been a belle in old Charleston. He was in love with her in his time, 1 think. They were always friends.... She'd be quite old now.** Chloe said, "She died in Paris two years ago. This Biron Torche is her grandson. She told him to look you up if ever he came on, but he seems not to have done it.** "I remember now," said Rann. **He must be very young.” “He's twenty-four,'* she answered. "A poet,** mused Rann. **l wonder what the Torches think of that.** "Not much. So he uses a pen name. 1 had to work hard to get him to let me tell you.** "I’m glad you did,” Rann aaid. "Is it true that Mrs. Torche lost everything?” “Almost. What she had, she left to this grandson. He was her favorite.” “And I suppose she felt that a poet," added Rann, “has /n even harder tussle than the rest of u 5.... Yes, I remember him, a quiet little ehap with big eyes—a dreamer.” Chloe smiled. The description was not inapt, even to-day. “I wonder,” aaid Rann, "why be didn’t look me up.” “Probably,” she answered, “because he’s burned in his work. And then, too, he hasn't been well. . . . When I took over agenting for bim —the handling of his poems as well aa his readings—l thought at once of you and of Miss Vesper. He said that he knew you, but that if 1 told you his name you must keep it dark.” “I understand,” said Rann. The music was playing again. The deep throbbing of the ’cello, the frail sweet ery of the violin made an answering murmur in her brain.... And music like • swarm of golden They had finished dinner, and he was smoking. They sat, each with an arm on the table, the squat candle burning amid its sperm beside them. It was a narrow tabic. Thetr elbows almost touched. He said, "How long have you known this— What is his psuedonym? I must get used to thinking of bim by that." "Hugh Richards." she answered. “Let me see. This is February. I’ve known him well for about four months, and slightly for about two months before that. You know you have an imperious way of asking questions. I feel I mutt answer accurately or be brought up for perjury or contempt of court.” “That's fine." said Rann, “for there are other questions I was', to ask you. Big ones, sueh aa: ’Why Did You Come to New York?* And little ones, such as, ‘What suet of little girl were you? Did you elimb trace? Were you fond of eandy? D»d you nde ponies’?" “I rede any number of poniee. But the one I liked best was Walter. Be eould sunfish.” “Sunfiehr

"Stand on bis hind feet.” she explained, “and paw the air." “And you stayed on?’’ “Sometimes.” “Did you live on a ranch?" he asked. “No, the ranch was my grsndfather's. It was sold when he died." “What were you parents doing while you were sunfishing?” She couldn't remember, except thst they hadn't interfered. They had given her her head. “Well, that answers one of the big questions—'Where did you get the initiative to eome on here, and the character to stick it out?’ Os course, if they gave you your hffftd—*** “They didn't in that They wouldn't have let me come. ... I wish you had known my parents,” she said. And she told him about the house in Wahilla with the deep, pillared veranda and the cottonwood trees and the rose vines her mother had planted, and the peach orchard out at the back. Strange how she could see her mother as she talked—coming down the stair —the familiar bice dress she wore, with the white collar. And fat black Odelia hanging the washing on the line, snowwhite, billowing in the wind. And her father just opening the gate, coming up the walk, under the cottonwood trees. . . . She had a feeling of having stepped back Into a forgotten moment of another year, into that world that was to break and be a lost world. Yes. I'm getting old. remembering ittle things so vividly, things I that happened a long time ago. Or wss it the way this man listened tht.t stirred those things awake? She never spoke of them to anyone, never thought of them now. He listened as if it mattered that once she bad had a family, and a house with a garden and cottonwood trees ... “Who's living there now?” he asked. "New people. They’re opening a hardware store, so I think they're permanent.” “Odd you should have wanted to ' leave,” he said, “before your par--1 ents died. You said they wouldn't give you your bead in that Why did you want to eome—into thia?” And she knew that be meant New York, the loneliness and the toil and the anonymity, and whatever else he guessed. “Mind you,” he said, “I'm glad you did. If you hads*t, I should , never have known you, and w? shouldn’t be having this beautiful , evening, talking about Biron Torche. . . . Don't worry,” as the amber eyes widened suddenly, “well ( eome back to him. .. . Whys You , were happy there. Why did you want to leave and eome here? It I can know the answer to that, I*U . know you.” Her eves were on the eandle flame “Adventure." she said. “And what do you—” i “Dor she flnisbed for him. “I ■ write. I don’t mean I publish. I * just write.” 1 Let it go at that. Close all the : eiooets and boxes in this room, or soon he'd find everything. He eaid thoughtfully that no . doubt it had been difficult to write . in Wahdla. "Not difficult. But New York is I a kind of Mecca. We mast all make [ the pilgrimage.” "New York.” be eaid. “is a good * place to loee the seent, the track of your quarry. Not that it mat- . tors.
