CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“YOU'RE trying to—to frighten - me,” Kilo accused. 0 = “Oh, Kilo, -I'm trying to make you see things straight! Chris was leaving school when he was arrested. He couldn’t stand having everyone think he slugged Tony. I tried to help him, but I couldn’t. He needs someone else, Kilo. He needs you!” “Why . . . do you tell ‘me all © this when you love him yourself?” .. “I—I don’t know,” Paula said, her

Her eyes, - filled with tears, were fixed upon Paula. “Y-youre so decent,” she said slowly. / “So are you, Kilo,” Paula said. “And now’s your chance to prove it.” “Paula, I—I didn’t mean to get Chris in trouble, It was just that I was jealous. I was willing to do anything to keep him away from you... - Paula tried to interrupt here, but Kilo rushed oh: “I wanted Chris

to meet me the night of the party, and I held him to it. He begged me not to start trouble. I refused. It began to rain and I borrowed his scarf to cover my head. Chris didn’t even go with us. I saw him afterward and told him how Tony had been hurt. He said he never

This is your last chance .to make him respect you.” - “But how ... wildered. “Come out and face the boys,” * Paula replied. “Tell them the truth.

From the loft Tony yelled, “Paula, stay inside. I'm going out and—”" (_ But Paula and Kilo paid no heed. As they moved out the door Kilo said to one of the League boys, “Don’t let Tony Beale out and don’t let anyone in.” In the dark silence outside Paula tried to quiet her pounding heart. “Who's there?” - Hal Bascomb called sharply. , A flashlight beam lanced out at them, pinned Kilo in its light. A low gasp of admiration escaped Paula at the other girl’s loveliness. “We're holding a meeting here,” Kilo replied. “What do you want?” The flashlight switched to Paula. ascomb said, “We-knew you and Tony would rush here to warn your friends. Seems to me you're on the wrong side of the fence, Paula. Where's Tony?”

PAULA LIED desperately, “He— he’s gone to get help, Hal. - Bascomb laughed. “In what? Lud’s car is still parked up on the road.” ' : “Quit stalling,” Bill Jenks growled. “If youre going to run this League bunch out of Cardman, get started.” “Is that you, Bill Jenks?” Kilo called. “I want to. talk to you.” A figure detached itself from the group. “What is it, Miss Sherwood?” “Tell them to go back,” Kilo said imperiously. “Sure, sure, I will,” Jenks chuckled. Kilo beckoned him closed. Only Paula could hear her words: “Bill, the whole thing is off. I've changed

* my mind.”

“Say, you're kidding, aren't you?” “I'm serious, Bill. There mustn't be a fight here.” «Well, I'll be . . .” Jenks exclaimed, n, “Sorry, Miss Sherwood. I've

got my orders from the boss. It's too late now.” The crowd of boys surged forward. Kilo reached out and caught Paula’s hand. They stood there, two girls who & few-hours ago had been enemies, facing Bascomb with a single purpose. “Be reasonable, girls,” Bascomb pleaded. “We don’t want to have to pick you up and -dump you in the hay stack.” 2 8 =

* “DON’T go in there until you've heard what I have to say,” Kilo begged. “Everything that happened has been my fault. You can’t beat up my friends for something I did.” “We're not going to. beat them up,” Bascomb said. “Not unless they fight back.” ; “Wait!” Kilo cried. wasn’t slugged.” “Of course not! He tripped on a pin and—" > “He did trip! I was there. I know. One of the boys stood by the French doors with a stench bomb. I was behind some bushes. He was supposed to wait until I gave him the signal, but he got excited and threw it too soon. I started to run away just as Tony came out of the house. He fell over me and struck his head on the sidewalk.” Bill Jenks spoke from the darkness, “Fellows, if I could spin ‘em like that, I'd give up chasing stories.” “It’s the truth,” Kilo asserted. “I swear it is.» “How. ‘about Chris Wentrich’s scarf?” someone asked. “ “I—I borrowed it,” Kilo explained. “Chris was not near the party that night.” : Again it was Jenks who scoffed.

.“She’s using all the. angles, boys,

but we're not going to be suckers enough to get caught on em.” “Tell them the rest,” Paul whispered. Kilo said, “Bill Jenks, you'll lose your job for this.” Then, to Bascomb, “You think he’s your friend, Hal; but Big Barney Sherwood is paying him to. start trouble.” > ,» » » “WHAT do you say to that, Jenks?” Bascomb- asked. Jenks snorted. “Think I'd be talking like this to my boss’ niece?” “Please, Hal, listen to her,” Paula said. “Kilo’s telling the truth. Go back and let Dr. Van Horn settle this.” “Say, look,” Jenks said in disgust, “if you guys are too yellow to tackle this League bunch Ill go in and clean ’em out myself.” An angry murmur went up at his words. Jenks had shrewdly chosen the sharpest weapon at hand by accusing them of cowardice. The murmur broke into shouts. “Come on” “Let’s go!” Bascomp and another fellow caught the two girls and lifted them out of the way. They made a rush for. the barn door only to find it blocked by bales of hay. Paula clutched Kilo’s arm. “Look, over toward the road! It's a car. Maybe Dr. Lud’s bringing help.” The fraternity boys were circling the barn. They found another door and threw their weight against it, but it was solidly held from within, “Do you think it could be?” Kilo asked breathlessly. Over the splintering of wood Paula said, “They can’t make it... .” (To Be Continued)
