I'm a shrewd’ bargainer, you: remem- ber.I laid: everything on the next three years. If I.fail.I lose... everything.” And she thought of John Raskthorne and his shrewdness. He couldn't lose, unless she won. He'd protected both his money and) his right: to her. Wise John Raskthorne. She hadn’t, until this moment, realized the enormity of the stakes. with which she had played. “What do you mean?” Pedro asked after a few moments. “T can’t. explain, it’s just that I have to win!” “You ‘don’t shave to explain, Michael,” he sgothad, -his voice tender. “This is your fight. stayed on to help you, I won't interfere.

There were other-sobering fac- tors. Juliano had not approved of | Pedersens. the . and Juliano was majordomo of the ranch. Con- stance had to remind herself that your interests, as though him and his father wouldn’t.” “It was thoughtful of him,” Constance said gravely. John trusted Judge Franck. She went to comb her hair and pull Meg’s sweater over the white shirt she wore with her rid- ing breeches, woman's pleasure. And she thought.of John. She must answer to him. It was his money that was involved. She must report each step of their progress. She thought of John again, as she sat in conference, the other men- deferential, listening to her views, answering her questions, making: suggestions as though they; were giving her credit, fora man’s business judgment. John would have asked the ;questions for her, just as yester- day he would have insisted upon coming into the house with her when she faced Juliano in his mutiny. He would have protected her, instead of riding off as Pedro had done. And yet, Pedro had said—“this is your fight.” Couldn’t his driv- ing away to let her face things be a compliment? “Wasn't “it his way of saying he believed her capable? Which attitude did she prefer? Both, she realized with honesty. She wanted someone to lean upon, and at the same time she wanted the one leaned on to give squarely upon her own capabili- ties. “Registered herds do cost more,” Pedersen was saying, “but we know they've been tuberculin- tested generations back. Preven- tatives pay in the long run.” Constance looked up to find Pedro studying her, a_ quiet, brooding study. He turned to the dairy expert. ‘The Human Element’ “ME: PEDERSEN, your esti- mates for the initial cost run much higher than the ones father and I computed. You insist upon individual stalls and cork brick floors, instead of stanchions and shavings from the lumber camp for bedding. You. want, registered herds where we could have been satisfied with tuberculin - tested cows. ' “Miss Cabrillo. has capital for a three year period only. If everything goes out in the first year, she will have nothing to tide her across unforeseen difficulties. fou say preventatives pay in the long run. But she has only a short tun in which to make them pay. Have you thought of that?” Pedersen scratched his’ blond thatch* “Have P'thought of any- thing else?” he groaned. “If I had trained men to work with me, I might dare the risk. But suppose a careless employee failed in_his tests and an inspector found tuberculosis in a herd. It would mean the slaughter of the entire herd; could she afford that? I could give you a hundred in- stances where carelessness or vin- dictiveness has ruined a dairy arm.” Constance leaned forward. weather, now you speak of em- ployees. Am I to..understand the success of this farm depends upon these two elements?” “The human element, Miss Ca- ure of every enterprise.

Keaney coaches the ‘point gettin’est machine in this jpoint-crazy basketball era—and one of his major cogs is a “stand- ing guard”. Now that “standing guard” )stuff in basketball went out just about the time Aunt Matty was ‘putting her split skirts away in ithe attic mothballs, But Keaney uses a_ standing jguard on his, Rhode Island bas- ketball team, the . outfit which outmoderned every modern crew in the land in winning its ‘first |ten games and averaging 77 points ja contest—almost two a minute! | Very Funny | Funny? Keaney thinks it’s a jhowl. And he thinks the funniest ipart of the whole situation is the | guy ‘who’ plays his standing guard. He’s ‘Warner (Flip) Keaney, team. captain. .Weighs .250, stands \6 feet 4. Frank loves the Flipper like a son, which’ is perfectly natural. Flip’s the image of his coaching dad. The nickname Flip, says War- iner’s pop, came fram ithe way Warner shoots on the rare acca- sions when he takes .a shot. He holds the ball straight out, drops his hands from the wrists, and flips. Flip’s job is to guard that bas- ket. Quite a job,on «the Rhode {Island outfit because outside of {Flip no one is supposed to pay too much attention to defense, lexcept in the front court. Up there three men crowd the op- ponents every time Rhode Island loses: the hall. He Can Move If the enemy gets the ball away toward their own basket on a quitk maneuver it’s pretty much up to Flip to stop the attack. And he’s surprisingly build. Where he shines: brightest, though, is in.picking that ball off the backboard. Two hundred and fifty pounds of leaping avoirdu- pois is a pretty convincing argu- ment in a rebound tusstle and | Warner usually comes down with ithe ball.
