She looked at her cot distaste- fully. There was no more sleep in her than in a moon flower, It was then she began to hear the drums, Muffled throbbing beats that pounded on her nerves and senses. She went to the tent door and looked out. Clouds had obscured the sky with surprising suddenness. The air was still and lifeless as if the night also held its breath listen- ing with her to the drum beats. Yet she could not really tell if she heard the sound or only felt it. , Doddap, usually sensitive as an animal to any disturbance, now lay curled in his sleeping posi- tion as peacefully as a baby. The lantern that always hung in the center of the court gave off its beam more as a pilot light than as an illumination for the yard. The guard at Sherwood's tent coughed and spat. Making his usual beat the sentry on camp duty for the night swung his tiny lantern as he circled the whole encampment. i : Then Anne noticed a light in the mess hut. Perhaps soméone there could tell her whether she heard anything or not. She crossed the court swiftly and burst into the room, Wrangle pH OLIVER, ,. and, Diana stood in front, of his. desk. They were quarreling violently. Philip's face was distorted “with Tag® Diana turned imperiously on Anne, who hastened to speak: “Do you hear the drums beat- ing?” With an effort both listened. “What drums?” Diana demanded. “Just drums,” answered Anne distractedly. “They’re driving me crazy.” The others looked at her strangely and came to the door where she stood and listened with her. She heard the beat faint and far away—in the hills —in the sky—welling up out of the earth beneath them... . “I don’t hear anything,” said Diana, “You must have the jit- ters.” She gave Oliver an angry look. “Goodnight,” she said, and dis- appeared in the direction of her tent. Oliver drew Anne back into the hut. “That drumbeat must be in your ears, Anne.” He was still shaking slightly, his face lined and ravaged with passion. Anne followed him relu ly.

That's all right with Martaine. He has certain ambi- tions of his own.

Stop hting.” Instead she began pacing back and forth across the narrow porch. He cornered her in the bend of the railing. His hands slid around her and drew her against the hard reality of his body, crushing the trem- bling of her nerves with the strength of his arms, Waiting a moment until she relaxed, he swept her up and struck off across the court, striding swiftly. Anne came back to herself with vA ere let d a “Blaze, let me down,” she de+ manded. “Let me go.” “Too late,” he retorted, and then halted at the entrance to his tent. There were voices inside. _ “Damn,” he said softly, lower- ing her to her feet. The sentry stared at them in his stolid man- ner. Anne stepped back. Suddenly her white teeth flashed in silent ipugnies. She felt inexplicably as if she had won some kind of a viGood night,” sh hispered od night,” she wi and turned and aoe across to her own quarters. The door opened and Beth came;out. “Oh, here you, are,” she cried, at the same time they heard vocies behind them. Larry and Mackey had aapeared from Sher- wood’s tent. Beth waved her flashlight and the three came over. “Blaze says they're Nagara drums,” Larry informed the girls. “Whatever can they mean?” de- manded Beth. “Dirty work at the cross roads,” hissed her husband. “Doddap might know,” sug- gested Anne, looking ever at bi still form, *“T wouldn’t disturb him,” ad- vised Sherwood. “If he knew and were willing to tell he’d be sitting up now and talking.” “What'll do if a_ storm breaks?” asked Beth. “Try to crawl into Anne's tent?” “No, indeed not. He'll draw his robe around him, croueh down on his ‘knees, back to the storm, cheek on his folded arms and sleep the night out like an ostrich with his head in the sand.” Larry looked at him curiously. “What? Is this fellaw an old pal of yours?” Mackey laughed: “Old! “Say, aney'ne supposed to! be pals from a former arg oe Besides yet ne about a year ago and so naturally according to local ethics, he's un- der obligation to look after Blaze the rest of his life.” To be continued outdoor exercise. tually no winter. sat § mee chair op- ripping the wood as | happens to be an exhibitionist. | manded. “Give yourself up to | from, death ; “OF NOVA, QUICK,” _ BLACKBURN SAYS \‘He’s Fast, He Punches | And He’s Smart Now’, Says Bomber’s Trainer; Predicts Knockout By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor. AP Feature Service GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y., \Sept. 25—The Brain of the Joe Louis training camp was noyed... The Brain is lean, sharp- “eyed, shrewd Jack Blackburn, Joe’s trainer. He snorted: , _ “T’se gettin’ tired of, hearing about Joe a-slippin’. “Joe ain’t slipped one whit.

But he’s just as_keen to beat Nova as he was any of ’em. He's! fast, he punches and he’s smart now. He take care of Nova, | quick”, he said. Louis furnishes the first, Black- burn furnishes the thinking. Sure, Joe thinks in the ring but jthe thoughts he comes up with generally are those planted in ‘training camp by Blackburn. | Jack is a former fighter, one of ‘the smartest. He’s thin and bald now. He caught Joe as an ama- teur and through | his made him a great fighting ma- jchine. He's Mr. Brain. He Win, Didn't He? “Joe didn’t polish off Billy Conn in a hurry, but he win, didn’t he? That's what counts. He just took his time and waited (for the shot he wanted. No, Conn didn’t hurt him. Joe didn’t even draw a heavy breath in that fight. “He’s beat all kinds, big men and little men, slow men and fast } men, standups and crouchers and weavers, Joe got ‘em all, sooner or later. Maybe he didn’t beat no Corbett or Fitzsimmons or Demp- sey, but he beat the best men around. And, say, Corbett and Fitz and Dempsey, they didn’t meet no Louis either”, he ex- plained, “T’se seen ’em all since Sulli- van and I think Louis would have beaten any of ’em. “Take a look at what them other champs did”, he said. “Sul- livan had trouble with Jake Kil- vain and Charley Mitchell, a middleweight.
