Once more she drifted off to sleep. Then just as dusk was falling she woke again, and suddenly she sat up in bed. The door of her bedroom was softly opened, and Patsy tiptoed lightly to 'the bedside. “Marts, honey,” she whispered as she bent over her. “Oh, Pat, you darling, will you ever forgive me? I’ve been an awful fool, and now when I’m stranded you’re the only one I could call on.” Her eyes fillM with tears. "Thene, Maris, there’s nothing to foigfive.

What sort of men were these, she had been with? Why didn’t one of them -go and speak to the farmer? They’d been quite decent to her, put her in the back seat and paid little attention to her. But every now and then they had whispered together. Once she heard one say, “He’s a double-crosser, all right.” And later the other man had said, “Well, what would you expect when he’s worked out this scheme to trick his own father?” Then they had beem silent so tong that Maris wondere<i if they would ever speak again. They did twice— once te^ |ay emphatiei^ta her, “Now, remmb^, whep/tlfey ask you where the accident happened, you tell them, ‘On the lonif road.’ ” Again one whispered in a loud voice, “Guess young Stan’s got the fright of hH.life# trying to put us off like that.

But in answer to her knock, the door was opened just a little crack, while Maris could hear the shuffle of heavy shoes on the floor. “Can you let us have some gas so we can get to town” ? she asked. “We’ve had an accident.” ^‘You have?” said tho farmer, opening the door a bit wider. “Maybe you’d rather come in and get patched up here. I’ll send one of the boys out to the car.”_ \ Before she realized it, she was in side the house,_spiTounded by severkl county poliMmen. She tried to back away. What had she landed in how, •he wondered. “Don’t be scared, miss,” said one of the^meft, “but if you value your life, tell ius the truth. How far have you came in that car?” Maris looked helplessly about her. Then, sensing there was something afraid I’ve been an awfnl nuisance to -wy wronr with the men she’d been riding with, she blurted out the truth. “We’ve got uiem,” cried one. of the men. “Mot yet, young fellow,” cried an other of the officers. “There’ll be murder done if we go out. Now, little girl, I hate to ask you to do it, but will you go back to the car and tell them—-as innooent-Iike as you can-^ that we’re just having breakfast here and wouldn’t they like to come in. Here, he biting into one of them hot biscuits and tell them you’d like to stay.” Quickly Maris stpeped outside, and, running^down the path,"did as she was told An angry scowl swept across the driver’s face. “We don’t want any breakfast. Plenty of time to get it when we get to the city. Go back and tell them that.” The other man looked disappointed and started muttering. He was evidently hungry. 1, undecided. L* Am they hung around, the farmer opened the door and called out, “Ain't you boys coming? The biscuits is getting cold” “Better run along,” the driver said to Maris. “We’ll follow^ you.” Then turning to his companion, he said, “Park the gats here. I guess they’re a. bunch of rubes. They don’t know who they’re going to entertain.*^ By this time Maris had entered the hopee, and the farmer <|oiekly told her to follow hit daughter to the cel- \lar. “R’a the safeet plaee.

"The poor little girl! Quick, Tillie, bring her some cold water, and then turn down the bed in the spare room. I giMss all ths terrible excitement’s been too much for her.” When Mans opened her eyes again, she found herself in a cool, dormer- windowed room with snowy white curtains at the windows and a- Mg bowl of flowers on the window leofi^T She looked sloVrly around her. Where was she, she wondered. It was a pret ty room, but how had she ever got there? T. :.7h«a tba generous^bosomed wopan in the quaint flowered-sprigged cot^ ton gown who was sitting by her sfi^e said, “Feeling some better nole, my dear?” “Oh, yes,” she whispered. “Pm you. get home;’’ “No, no, not yet. You couldn’t rise just yet, but if you can tell me whwe your frien^ are, I’ll call them up.” “Oh, bu^hat would scare Patsy. I’d better talk to her myself.” tried to rise, but slumped back on 4he pillows again. ^There, my dear, you mustn’t try just yet. Won’t you let me talk to your folks? I’ll be mighty careful what I say—^tell them just what you want me to.” “All right. I guess you’d better,” Maris said, and told her Patsy’s num ber. Then she fell asleep again. - Jt was late afternoon when she woke, and through the open window drift^ in the lazy hum of a laggard bee, and the fragrance ot fall flow ers.

Howeyer, on passes Clinton excelled Thomwell, with Freeman making amazingly accurate throws to McKee and H. King, the latter catching one for a SO.yard run. . . Easily the outstanding lineman on the field was Brown, brawny Clintop tackle, who knifed through in the third quarter to block Jacobs’ kick and fall on it over the goal line for a tochdown. Again in the fourth pe riod Brown rushed Jacobs so that the Thomwell back kicked the ball straight up into the air and fell five yards behind the place where it was kicked. Just a few plays later, after Captain--Freeman and H. King had carried the ball down to the Thom well eight-yard stripe, H.' King went oyer for Clinton’s last score. The Clinton Hi boys made 13 first downs to Thorawell’s four. The best linemen for Clinton, besides Brown, were Jones and Bishop. DeMontmollin of the Thomwell team, was outstand ing.
