He had been uneasy ever since Craig Baas#t inveigled him to come to the Farrells' week-end party. The Farrells were rich, and in the surroundings of their Long Island estate Jerry felt uneasy. "Old Man Farrell's in the dough," .Craig had said. "And he's nuts about baseball. He's heard of you. A good pitcher will always arouse his interest. You're graduating in June, and it won't do you any:harm, to meet Farrell." So -Jerry |had agreed to come. They arrived at Farrell's Friday night, and Brenda, Old Man Farrell's only offspring, was there to greet them. She had red hair and blue eyes, and when Jerry looked at her something happened inside of him. f Thereafter Jerry was more than ever aware of the fact that he didn't belong in such rich surroundings.. He wished more than ever that he hadn't come, because now he had met: the only girl who had ever made him feel queer, and he was miserable because he kn&w there was no chance of possessing her. Especially with such handsome, s e l f - c o n f i d e n t y o u n g men a s J i m Clarendon around. Saturday, Jerry wished he could go home, and even toyed with the idea of running out. In a sense Jim Clarendon made' him mad. Jim had nothing to offer but .a lot of blustering talk and the fact that some day* he would inherit^ the Clarendon millions. It flashed into Jerry's mind that back on the Fairfax campus he might give Jim a run for his money, as far as; Brenda was concerned. Back there Jerry was the .big shot. A five-letter man, captain of the baseball team, * star pitcher. ' After dinner Saturday night old man Farrell got him alone in the conservatory and asked him questions about himself. Jerry answered shyly, because he felt shy, and was glad when the interview ended. He felt more unhappy than ever because he knew he hadn't made an impriession on the old man; but presently Craig Bassett sought him out and sent his spirits sky-rocketing. "Brenda's coming up to the Dartmouth game," he mentioned casual- . ly. "Clarendon's taking her to the dance afterward. Her old man may come, too. If he does, it's your big chance to show what you can do, Jerry." The Dei Fujif nouth-Fairfax game was the next* /to last on the Fairfax schedule, / and was all important. Jerry gave the fans everything they wanted vo see that day. With a/ half dozen other members of the/team, Jerry attended the dancjr that night, stag. Preceding the "^event his room was filled with admiring and hero-worshiping students. But he scarcely heard their acclaim, grinned automatically and answered, absently, for his mind was, filled with Brenda. He saw, her the moment he came into the gymnasium. She was dancing with Jim Clarendon, and at sight of him she smiled warmly. But Jerry only gave her a passing nod, and turned to the half dozen co-eds who had grouped themselves around him. He waited until the evening was half gone, until Brenda had been fully impressed with his popularity, before he cut in on her. It was something of a shock to find her unresponsive; it took him a good five minutes to realize- that "she wasn't impressed with him at all, that her interest was as casual as it appeared to be in Wally Parks and Brant Avery and all the others. She didn't once mention his playing, and he was quite bewildered by it, quite at a loss what to do or say. He felt that sinking sensation again, that helplessness. It came to him - abruptly that Brenda Farrell wasn't for him under any conditions. But he couldn't give up, couldn't let it go at that without finding out what was wrong. And so, despite Jim Clarendon's 'dark look, he inveigled her outside. They walked along the path .toward the -football field, and presently Brenda said: "You'll be glad tb know that Dad's going to make you an offer. He saw you play today -- wonder man." Jerry looked at her with a quick interest, a sudden understanding. He stopped abruptly. "So that's it!" He smiled grimly. "Wonder man. eh? Well, I don't blame you. I-- I've nev^r been this way before. I never let it go to my head. Not till today. I thought it would impress you." She lifted her eyes. "You impressed me," she said, "that weekend on Long Island. You impressed Dad, too1. You were shy -- and different." Jerry stared at her, and suddenly everything was clear. He understood and realized what a fool he'd made of himself. He looked away, feeling uneasy, more uneasy than ever before. Brenda was saying: "Jim and Brant and Craig and the others never act natural, never act the way they feel, but you couldn't help it. Up here you aren't natural at all, or weren't.** "Weren't?" Brenda smiled, and there was a twinkle in her eyes. "Well, right now you seem terribly unhappy and embarrassed aftd shy. I--I think yOu must be acting natural. That's , why--being impressed/', v , 1 t roa FRIDAY AMD SATURDAY ONLY StHfN SOU I BB S ADEX TABLETS FOR COUGHS 60* SIZE VAIENTINE SPECIALS CANDY Mother, Sweetheart an< All £njoy Good Cani liyijfc If. ;t;i *'.* Heart-Shaped Boxes, Priced from 20c io $2.00 \ALENTMNE J For the Kiddies and Growu^n^ tpo. ^^ rt^-Pnced from to --j-' ACIDINE NUJOL AHWtKAI.
