Three to

By W. H. PEARS

YESTERDAY: Dr. Lud, Paula and Tony find the fraternity men massing for an attack on the League meeting.

. Dr. Lud argues, even threatens to expel

the entire group, but Jenks counters

that threat and Lud knows he has lost. |

Paula and Tony hurry on to warn the League members. Tony asks Paula to forget that she hates him, for this one right. .

Tony wasted no time in knocking.

He gave the door a kick that burst it open. After shocked silence, the League membership was on its feet. Kilo recovered first, her green eyes flaming. “What is this? Anotner Greek-letter invasion?” Tony said easily, “We're here as friends, Kilo. You've got to get out of this barn fast.” Kilo: laughed. “What's wrong, Mr. Beale? Is it going to catch fire?” . “Worse than that,” Tony snapped. “About 50 fraternity fellows are on their way here.” > “Why should that concern you?” «Dr. Lud sent us to warn you,” Paula broke in. “He's up the road trying to stop them.” :

For the first time Kilo deigned

to notice her. “This is an honor, Miss Jeffers.”

“We're giving it to you straight,

Rilo.” Tony said. “Either you break up your meeting or there'll be

trouble.”

Kilo turned tu the League members. “Do you want to let the fra-

ternity boys run us out?” : “No!” It was an emphatic 0 ttl . \ 4 = ~ «yOU SEE?” Kilo said, “We're permission to use this. barn. away.”

“Okay,” Tony said, facing the group. “Your president says I can talk. Will you listen?” There was a murmur of disggreement fro the members which Tony pieifndeq to ignore. “1 want to ask how many of you remember what Cardman was like 10 years ago? Well, I'll tell you Cardman was on the skids. The professors were second-rate. Enrollment had dropped way down.” Tony paused. Watching him, Paula felt a surge of admiration for his poise. Every minute counted; yet he spoke as calmly as if he were completely unaware of the fact. = n ” - “NOW, LOOK, girls and fellows,” Tony went on earnestly, “I'm not going to give you any ‘die-for-dear-old-Cardman’ stuff.

When you graduate from Cardman you can tackle any job with confidence.” ; “So what?” “So who put Cardman back on its feet?” Tony shouted. “I'll tell you.- It was Dr. Van Horn.” Someone booed his name. “He's the guy that chased us into this barn!” : “You're dead wrong about that!” Tony retorted. “A politician named Big Barney Sherwood chased you

here. Through Kilo he’s been using you people to make trouble for Van

Horn. He wants to put some two-

bit politician ip as president so he

can pull strings.”

“I deny it!” Kilo leaped to Tony's side, her slim body taut. “Tony Beale wants to get you out of here because he knows that if we run away there won't be any anti-fra-

ternity League next year.”

‘Tony baeked close to Paula. “Climb into the loft,” he whispered,

“and see if they're coming.”

KILO’S VOICE meanwhile was weaving a husky spell over the League members: “I can deny. only part of what Tony Beale’s told you. It’s true about Uncle Barney. He does want to pick the next president

; |of Cardman, and I'll tell you why.”

“Attagirl, Kilo!” “He wants justice for all at Cardman. Big Barney Sherwood will put in a president who won't coddle the Greek-letter societies. And that’s why I've been ‘making saps’ of you, as Tony Beale puts it!” Paula, hearing the ring of sincerity in Kilo’s voice, thought in surprise. “Why, she really believes that!” Now the League members were standing, giving a loud. cheer to their president. Kilo acknowledged the tribute with glowing eyes. She said, “Shall we proceed with our business or shall we run away from the big bad fraternity boys?” A unanimous shout of “Stay! Stay!” rose to the rafters of the old barn. Paula saw Tony's shoulders slump in defeat. It was useless to argue further with them and he knew it. Paula’s heart seemed to drop to her shoetops. the loft and, looking out, saw the car headlights being extinguished.

He swore out the warrant.” Kilo studied Paula’s face with wide, frightened eyes. She swallowed, tried to speak and failed. Swiftly Paula played her ace. “Chris is in love with you, Kilo. Will you go out and tell the truth about the scarf Or are you going to let Chris take the blame?” (To Be Continued)
