THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, Chapter Eight The Serious Truth 'USAN and the rest of them seemed paralyzed for a‘ mo- ment. It was not until Tod‘ wi out the door that Susan recovertd. “Eddie, stop him.” she said, but Eddie Luttrell. turning! Hig 'Héad slowly toward Phil Hum»aries, said, “No—let him go. I'll see him back at the house.” Humphries wore < bewildered expression. “Really, !’m sorry— I had no idea—I was just joking. It’s amazing that my joke should have turned into a serious truth.” Eddie arose, still loox:ng at Humphries. “I’m nov sure about that, Humphries. Come on—let’s get out of here. I don’t like the smell.” Susan paused briefly before Humphries. “Phil,” she faltered,! “I don’t think I believe you) either.” Then she rushed after the others. Tony’s was always crowaed and anything said in one booth could be heard ten feet away. Two cou- ples at the next bobth looked at each other and»a blond haired boy with a crew-haircu. whistled long and loud. “Jeepers.” he said. “did you get a load of what I heard!” Kid Promise DD lay sprawled out on his bed. his face to the open win- dow. A stiff, cool breeze felt good on his hot forehead. He heard the door open but he didn’t turn around. Eddie walked over silently in the dark and sat down on the bed beside him. He sat there for a full minute before saying a word. “Susie said she nad a wonder- ful time tonight.” he -aid. “Maybe you'd better call her tomorrow—” “I'm sorry I ran sike a whipped eur.” Todd said. Eddie swore softly. “You didn’t. We understand why you got out of there so fast. We saw that look on your face, We were afraid, for @ moment.” “So was I,” Todd said hollowly. *1 don’t think I’ve ever shown it around here but T’rn supposed to have a violent temper. Dad al- ways told me when I feel it com- ing on I should walk away from it. He—” Todd stopped. Eddie stretched out beside him. “I wish I had known—about your Dad, I mean. Maybe I could be of more help to you now. You know it doesn’t mean a thing to me. You know that nothing could make any dif- ference with me. Would you like to tell me a little about it? You don’t have to, though.” “Thanks, Ed. There isn’t much. They pinned something on Dad. two years ago—ie was framed beautifully—and they sent him to the Pen.” He punched the pil- low viciously. “Sure. a lot of the boys have wondered about me for three years now. Couldn’t blame "em, I guess.” {i He turnec on Eddie: fiercely. “But I never intended to conceal a thing. I’m not ashamed of my father. He was a gambier, ves— one of the biggest—but he was square and honest and as fine a man that ever breath 4. “Malone was a common name, BIRTHDAY GREETING TO SOLDIER BACKF IRES (By Axsost , BILOXI,” ‘Mi There's no justice ie gat is this «i Press) Oct left in world, declares Pvt.

And so as far as this whole campus knew I was just another guy from out West who had lived: with -his aunt.” *It won’t)make ny difference— not with anybody,” Eddy insisted. “You know that, don’t you? People don’t ‘care about backgrounds, any more. You mustn’t let this get you.” “I don’t matter so much, Eddie. It's Dad—it’s going to get him. He had his heart set on my living en- tirely free from his shadow.” Todd cracked his knuckles together. “Tl have to go down and see him as soon as I can.

It was too big for confinement. Pete Bailey phoned Sunday night and. asked, Todd, to, stop,in at the coaches’ office «before practice Monday. Pete Bailey .was,a huge. bulk of a man with quiet, kindly eyes. For two decades he had been more than a football J2saeRPatysute. Third-string scrubs found his of- fice as comfortable as ‘the All-" Americas he had turned out. He puffed slowly on his pipe. “Todd, we're in an ugly spot— yes, I said ‘we, because when one of my boys is on the spot 1 am too. I've neard_about—well, who hasn’t? In fact, Frank Garvey other of the newspaper boys from downtown have been trying to get you all day. They finally got me. They want a story, Todd — and we've got to say something.” Todd stared at the ‘wall, first, and then straight at Pete. “There’s nothing like the truth,” he said simply, “and the truth isn’t going to take cover behind every tree on the campus.” The door opened just then and Joe Kirk came in. Joe was athletic publicity director, “Hi, Todd,” he said, sitting down. “Just leave this up to Pete and me, kid— | we'll take care of it and it'll all blow away in a couple of weeks. Just one thing for you to remem- ber—no direct quotes from you to any newspapermen. We'll just sort of talk this thing over now. the three of us. and I'll give the boys a statement. They’l] be screaming to get at you personally, but let em scream.” “I don’t care what they say,” Todd said quietly. “They can come to me if they want to. I'm not afraid to talk to them, Joe.” Bailey laid a hand on Todd’s knee. “Todd,” he said softly, “you haven’t done a thing. You're clean as'a whistle and you're all four aces in the deck to everyone. But. boy. you don’t know what you're going to be butting your head into from now on if this thing gathers momentum.
