of any blame, but Bill Jenks counters all her appeals. As the boys start to storm the barn, Paula sees a car approaching. Perhaps Dr. Lud has gone for help. « +»

CHAPTER SIXTEEN IN RELAYS now, the boys were throwing hard young shoulders against the sagging door. + “They're coming,” Kilo gasped. Two bright circles of light bobbed ‘ across the field. “Dr. Lud, hurry!” Paula screamed. The door, ripped from its hinges, was being pushed inward like a shield. : Then a lumbering figure ran swiftly past Paula, and a voice like & big bass horn bellowed above the tumult. “STOP!” ” 2 2 HAL BASCOMB swung his flashlight away from the door, and two beams of light crossed like rapiers. “Dr, Van Horn!”

“Stay where you are, all of you!”

The tone of Van Horn’s command suggested past Army training. “Bascomb, since you seem to be in command of this expedition, I shall hold you responsible for anyone who follows me into, the barn.” He was inside but a few minutes, emerging just as Lud barked: “Dr. Van Horn, the light! Over here.” "The president’s flashlight swung

Cutting in from an angle, Lud brought him down with a flying tackle. : Van Horn said with quiet irony, “Surely, Mr. Jenks, you wouldn't leave without a complete story?” He turned to Bascomb. " your hoys inside. We can settle matters right here’in this barn.” : ” ” o

“I thought not,” Van Horn said quietly. “Now let us say, by some coincidence, that upon leaving school you find yourselves employed by the

same firm. Or”— his eyes became]

grave—“even in the same Army. Would you continue this foolish quarrel?” “No, sir,” both boys answered. “I'll tell you why,” Van Horn said. “Because of loyalty to your firm or your Army. Now let me ask all of you one question: Don’t you feel you owe that same loyalty to Cardman?” The crowd nodded sheepishly. Van Horn beamed. “In that case you can easily adjust your differences.” He beckoned to where Paula, Kilo and Tony stood. “Will ‘you come here, Miss Jeffers and Beale—and. Miss Sherwood too,” he added as Kilo hung back. Then, very simply, he said, “These three young - people, particularly Miss Sherwood, rejected loyalty to their own small groups for a larger loyalty to Cardman. I wish to thank : them.” . Kilo, her face pale with emotion, said huskily, “I—I don’t deserve that, Dr. Van Horn. I'm entirely to blame for—" : “Shall we forget it?” Van Horn smiled. Kilo whirled to face the students: “League members, I—I think we should listen to. Dr. Van Horn,” she

Van Horn held up his hands for silence, a sparkle of moisture in his eyes. “We have arrived at a democratic principle,” he said. “I beg of you to carry it with you always when you leave Cardman. It is your right as citizens of a free country to join any group you choose—so long as it does not interfere with the sacred rights of another group. . . . You may all leave when you wish, and good luck.”

Students began to file quietly, thoughtfully, out of the barn. Bill Jenks was about to leave when Van Horn called-to him.

“Mr. Jenks, I should like to make certain you have your story correct.” “Sure, sure, Doc,” Jenks grinned. “Peace and harmony on the campus. Dr. Van Horn’s great diplomacy brings rival groups together!” Van Horn’s big fingers bit into the reporter’s shoulder. “You will write facts, Mr. Jenks, nothing more. Is that clear?”.

All the students, including Kilo, had departed. Lud turned to Tony. “You can take Paula home in my car. Ill ride with Van Horn and Larson.”

“Maybe you'd rather I walked home?” Tony said as he helped her across the field. All too conscious of his hand on her arm, Paula replied, “Tony, our truce is over, but that doesn’t mean we have to quarrel.” “Thanks, Paulie,” he said with a touch of irony. - ” f J ”

TONY ‘drove the old coupe slowly. Paula was silent, mulling over the problem of Tony’s actions. In nearly four years she’d never known him to do a mean thing.
