All that he know was that a driving
force was upon him, urging him
against his judgment, almost against
Ids will, and he lacked the power to
resist It. Pause he might, hut rest
he could not,. ITnfil he knew the
ultimate truth regarding her, he was
hound to go on.
He began to consider his next step,
lying prone on the siin-hnkod grass,
hut no inspiration enme to hint. He
only realized at the end of n quarter
of an lionr that, the breathing space
Ware over and that he must go. He
supposed he must return to Harvey,
and contemplated telling him the
whole story. Fie must already have
guessed something, and he had a
quick brain which might he of use.
nut would he understand the in
evitability of the thing? Or would
he laugh him to scorn for his per

Tiggie'.s face began to burn as if he
already heard his hrother-in-law’s
derisive chuckle. No. he could never
stand that at this stage. If Harvey
laughed, he would probably knocK
him down, though he was by no
means a violent man. But this thing
had gone too far for laughter and
too far for turning back. Whatever
Harvey nr anyone else might say or
do. he was going on row. It was
not in him to act otherwise.

darkened by a brief dizziness, there
flashed a sudden picture. He saw
the sun rising in a glory of orange
and scarlet over the Arabian desert,
and was conscious of a slight, dove
like being, pressed closely to his side
as one who seeks a refuge.
It was gone again in an instant,
but It left him oddly unsteady, like
a sleepwalker abruptly awakened.
So she had leaned upon him, so she
liad clung to him; and now. . . .
He turned resolutely, with that
dogged determination which had
lately developed within him, and
marched away as though ho had

to wait.

It %ra* a very fleeting vision.
l
■) morning became a little dream-like
t to Tiggie as he ant there waiting.
* The feeUng of shock had begun to
; fade and his own practical common
sense to assert itself. He would be
, a fool, he reflected, to believe any
, thing that Grierson or anyone else
> said regarding Viola un'il he had
* satisfied himself thnt it was the
* truth. And this statement of Grier
> son’s was not true, could not be true.
. He migl t have believed it of some
: other girl, but, o? Viola—never! But
i it was evident that she was in the
l man's power, and that was the'first
. point upon which Tiggie meant to
vwnrmwr&le. He was going to find
i her and make 'n»r tell him exactly
ho » thnvgs stood. Then—possibly—
he m*£i.t ob'eover away to help her.
! lie was sure, deep in bis inmost soul,
: that she needed hilp.
What his n*xt step would be to
achieve his end he did not know.
Perhaps Harvey when he returned
1 might be able to suggest something;
for he had decided to take Harvey
to a certain extent into his confi
dence. But till he returned there
was nothing to be done, and certainly
the enforced rest was not unwel
come. In tact he- very soon ceased
to chafe at it, and. lighting his pipe,
sat in quiescent meditation, awaiting
the absentee’s return.
The realization that he was over
poweringly sleepy came tipon : him
after several Jerky efforts to ksep
his head rigid had failed. The whole
atmosphere had become slumberous,
and after all he did not see Why re
pose as well as luncheon should be
denied him. None but a strong, silent
hero womd have .sat erect and un
yielding for an’ indefinite period in
that heat, and Tiggfc had never
aspired to he this. He was not made
of heroic mould, and he detested
physical discomfort. When his ;
drowsiness became too apparent to
bo Ignored even by himself, he
abandoned all attempts to defy it,,
and slipping comfortably down upon
the grass, he pocketed his pipe,
turned the suitcases into a pillow,
and philosophically went to sleep.
It was nearly an hour later that
he was awakened by the sound of
running feet, and sitting up. blink
ing. discovered Harvey racing across ,
the grass towards him.
"Oh, don’t run like that!" pro- ;
tested Tiggie ere he reached him. “It 1
makes me hot to look at yon. What ■
Is It? Fire? Murder? Or mere
highway robbery?-" \, ;
Harvey dropped beside him-like a i
shot hare. “Oh, man, I’ve had the ]
devil’ of a timeP ,; 'he panted. '.'But j
I’ve got her! You nip along quick i
to that house at the corner that you -
went to this morning, aad you’ll be ’
there before she la-! I 5
“What on earth are you talking <
about?” said Tiggie, bewildered, hut I
rising almost In spite of himself. (
Harvey made an urgent gesture, t
“The girl — the one you’re looking for

—the 'Aquamarine' girl! She’s com
ing along the road on the other side
of that fence new. She’s making for
that house yon went to an hour ago
or I’m a nigger. Quick, man. if you
want to catch her! Or she’ll give
you the slip—as she did before.”
Tiggie waited for no more. What
means Harvey had employed thus to
find out these details of his quest did
not concern him then All that mat
tered was the gist of his disjointed
remarks, and this he grasped with a
quickness for which Jater he allowed
himself a certain amount of credit.
Without further parley he rammed
his hat on to his head and swiftlv
departed, leaving Harvey gasping on
the ground.
Over the dry grass he ran with the
speed of concentrated purpose. His
rest had refreshed him. and he was
more than ready forth battle. Once
more he sighted the tall house at ihe
corner which had been the scene of
his recent defeat, and he noticed—
what ho had not noticed before—that
the whole length of its garden was
bounded by a side road.
His brain leapt beyond Harvey’s
urgent injunction to wait at the cor
ner. Where there was a fence, there
was probably a door; and if she were
indeed there and wished to enter un
observed, would she choose to do so
by that wido Tront garden or those
glaring steps? He reached the road
and crossed it, dodging the traffic al
most without seeing. Now he win
at. the corner and pulled himself up.
People were passing to and fro. lie
paused a moment to get his i . ( th.
Then, moving more quietly, ho
turned Hie coiner and looked down
the side road.
It was a quiet road with an avenue
of young trees planted along it.
There was a tradesman’s van stand
ing close to him, and a man with a
basket on his arm was in the act of
passing through a small door In the
fence that evidently led in the direc
tion of the kitchen premises of tho
forbidden house. A few yards fur
ther down the road an old man was
walking slowly towards him; and
some distance behind him moving
very quickly, almost running, he saw
tho fig-ure of a girl.
It was a very fleeting vision, for
even as he discerned her she turned
sharply aside in the path and disap
peared through the fence, obviously
by a door similar to ihe one by which
he stood.
It was enough for Tiggie. Without
a moment’s consideration he follows*
the tradesman into the garden. The
lad was already half way along a
path that Led downwards between
shrubs to the back door. He was
whistling the latest jazz love-song
with piercing vehemence, and he
swung oft almost Immediately to his
destination, leaving a path that
forked to the right towards the gar

o’clock at the High Price court for
the second meeting of the teams

In a previous game at Louisburg,
the CJollegian-s won easily 25 to 13, .us

It was expected, today that Miss'
Curlena Godfrey, crack forward of
the locals, would be able to get into
tonight’s game. She was injured to a
contest with Roanoke Rapids here,
and has been out of the game since.
She played a stellar role in the last
meeting of the locals with LoCiisburg,
looping eight points through the bas

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. 21
Some of the outstanding play in Sou
thern Conference basketball this win
ter was by a great group of forwards
whose work is expected to make this
year’s conference tournament, which
opens at Raleigh, March 1, one of the
best in tourney history.
Selection of the eight teeams to
compete in the tourney will be made
Friday of this week at a meeting of
the basketball tournament commit
tee at the University of Virginia. Dr.
Ray R. Sermon, of N. C. State, chair
man, said a full committee would be
present.
Since only eight of th eten teams
composing the Southern Conference
will be selected to participate in the
tourney, at least two or more bril
liant forwards will be tmissing as
every team in the Conference pro
duced at least one .top notch forward
this winter, and some as many as
two.
Jim Thompson, of Duke, and Fred
die Tompkins, of South Carolina, have
paced forward play this season, and
their game will be watched closely
during the tournament. They are re
garded as two o fthe finest players
in the Conference and basketball fans
are anxious to know which is the bet
ter. The tournament may solve the
question.
Thompson and Tompkins were nam
ed on the No. 1 all-tournament team
last year, Thompson as a center. This
winter the Duke sta rwas shifted to
forward, his favorite post, and his
play has been even more sparkling
than as a center in 1933.
