YESTERDAY: Tony is rushed to the hospital. He has a slight concussion,

will be all right in a few days. As Paula |

sits beside his bed, Tony tells her he " Joves her. Chris meets her at the hospital door, asks about Tony. Paula is . surprised ‘that Chris has found out ' mbout the incident but Chris refuses to’ explain. . she promises. CHAPTER X IT WAS STILL dri next morning, Paula dressed. hurriedly,

. trying to shut out the melancholy

burble of rain in the spouting. Several of the girls were having late breakfast and talking excitedly of :the stench bombing. 3

Paula gulped her coffee and

° walked to the hospital. oe . . Tony was sitting up in bed. Ex-

cept for pain shadows - under his - eyes, he looked fit, + He greeted Paula a bit shyly. “I was hoping you'd come, Paulie. I tried to talk them into letting me out today, but no go. I feel swell.” “I'm'glad you're okay, Tony,” she smiled. ¥ aia: -.“I—I.guess I was a little my head thing I shouldn't. ...” Tp . “You needn't worry about that,” Paula said, and changeg fhe subject abruptly. nasty.” =

He “seemed to want to talk about last night, yet he ed as if he were afraid to. Do you think he might be protecting someone?” ’ Paula. started. “Who, Tony?” | He shrugged. “The League crowd, Joel . -Chris met some of the boys fro the house in the hall. They almost got into a scrap. I tried "to cool them down. If they go after the League now they'll play right into Big Barney’s hands. . . . You know, Paulie, I've been lying here thinking and I've got Jenks doped out. Ever wonder why that shot of

ney hasn’t an interest in the scandal sheet, Jenks works for, I'll eat it!” “You think Bill was sent here to make trouble?” “It’s just another hunch. At any rate ,we don’t want him to get hold of this story.” Tony, tossinge restlessly as he spoke, had disarranged his pillows. Paula moved to plump them back into shape. Tony protested, but she rolled him over and lifted the

pillows. Beneath them was some-|

thing that made her gasp—a bright blue scarf. - “Paulie, I didn’t want you to see that,” Tony said. In one corner of the scarf wewe the initials C. E. W. “It belongs ‘to Chris,” Paula whispered. “Where did-you get it, Tony?”

“I'd rather not say. It might not}

be his.” - . “Chris's middle name is Edward,” Paula said flatly. “Tony, please tell

.me the truth.” “All right, ulie, but I'd rather not. Ch ’t here to-defend him-

self. It’s not quite fair. . . ” “Tell me,” Paula ordered. “One of the fellows found it in the shrubbery beside the house.” - “That means . . .” Tény shrugged. “Chris might have’ . Jost it days ago.” > “He—He had it on the other afternoon,” Paula was turning the scarf in her numb fingers. Then she began to pluck at the silk. “Look here, Tony! ' These tiny strands of scarlet wool.” ; ; “What about them?” “Tony,” Paula said, her hazel eyes glowing, “suppose Chris loaned this to «5. -some one?” “Could be,” Tony admitted. “But

why— . Paula tried to catch him off guard: “Did you see:.a girl last night when you ran out?” “Why?2”-Tony countered. “Okay, Tony, be a gentleman.

“And put all the blame on Chris!” Paula flared. “Tony, I tell you he didn’t hit you. It was ... well, it wasn't Chris.”

“Something's got to be done,” Tony said gravely. “Larson and Van Horn are trying to get to the
