LOUIS RAYBOLD JERRI JOSLIN'8 carefree whistle, *J which bad continued from the street up the two flights which led to his off-the-hsll bedroom, was checked by the sight of his mall, pushed In under the door. Among other envelopes was one that was long and plump, bearing a return address which unmistakably proclaimed the coutents to be pink, green and yellow application blanks for the season's big football games. The question of the very last gam# of all had boen In the background of Jerry's mind for some time, but he had figured It could stay In the back* ground until the application actually arrived. And here they were, reminding him of last summer's folly. He had gone for his vacation far up Into northern Connecticut where there was a brook famed fdr Its trout. And It was while standing kqee deep In that brook, playing a gamey oid fellow, that his foot caught on a crevice of rock, wrenching his ankle severely. During the temporary Invalidism, the woman who ran the Tourists' Rest where he was boarding had beep very good to him and her duuglirer, iJeonore had offered the only diversion. He promised to take her to the big game. How the dickens could he know that, when that time came, Leonore would have faded to a dim memory, and Gloria Manners would fill his entire horizon? Unfortunately, there was also more to It than the mere question of making good the promise when he was interested in another girl. The Athletic association had seen fit to double very nearly the price of tickets and the purchase of two pf .them meant something to a young man whose law practice was slim. Tet he had no choice In the matter and, sitting down at what passed for a writing table, he filled out his application, enclosing check, and wrote a brief note to Leonore. What consolation he managed to get was of short duration. • prompt reply followed the letter. "Dear Jerry : "It Is so nice about the game. Am looking forward. Hope we keep on having lovely weather. Mother is coming with ine. ^ .* ' "Your old friend, "LEONOHE TrCKKR." It was quite evident that the little country girl did not know the inland outs of the ticket game. No, allvtoo plainly she was unaware that getting hold of extra tickets made rich men's passages Into heaven or camels going through needles' eyes mere child's play. Yet, remembering that Leonore's mother had been kind to him, he knew that all he could do was give up his own seat in some such way that the two women would not be made uncomfortable by suspecting the real reason. Meanwhile, he refrained from calling on Gloria, torturing himself wondering what other young men--or worse yet. what young man--was taking his place. And when he was not worrying over that, he speculated as to whether I^eonore would expect to resume relations at the half-sentlmental stage they had left off. He could not answer that question satisfactorily at the^ station. She blushed and squeezed his hand a little. but the presence of her mother sioted as a preventive of anything demonstrative. He left them at the portal of the big enclosure, having given them to understand that "'s st>Ht w'as 'n 'he J cheering section anil that his presence there was of utmost moment. Then he sauntered across the trampled nvjd to the space where the parked ..cars huddled like gigantic turtles. For a moment he was free to think of Gloria. Suddenly• he heurd his name-called and turned quickly. There sat Gloria, looking very charming, at the wheel of her little j roadster. Amazed, he went over to J her at once. "Gloria! What--I J should think--" "That Td be Inside? Well--" and she sighed--"you see. nobody asked me! But, if I may Inquire, where t« ! the pretty blonde you came In with a 1 few minutes ago?" And then Jerry told her the whole story from beginning to end. • When he had finished, she looked at him thoughtfully. "I couldn't understand what had hecoyie of ,vou." she said. "I was curtous to know flf you were taking anyone to the game and. knowing what section your class twas allotted tickets In. I thought I'd. hdtig arouud on the chance you might go by.** "Gloria !" cried Jerry. "If you went to all (that--why, my darling, It must mean the most wonderful thing In the world!** And evidently it did, for Jerry climbed Into the roadster and there were two persons that afternoon who wouldn't have changed places with the yelling, singing crowds Inside the stadlam. As for Leonore, she managed an aside Just before getting on t^e train. "Hope you didn't mind mj^bringing mother, but you see I'm engaged to Willie Stone back home and he wouldn't tet me come unless I brought her. too." "Thank • heaven you did 1" cried Jerry, so fervently that Leonore Is puzzling about It yet.
