"I understand." When they were under way, he slumped beside her and was presently asleep. The night was cool, in early fall. She stopped the car once to turn up his coat collar and adjust his scarf against a chill. He snored heavily; and as she drove on she considered the problem now presented. This was Johnny's car. If she took him to Cambridge, she would have to find a taxi to her home. If she went directly to her home, Johnny would have to drive to Cambridge alone and for that he was in no condition. She decided to try to bring him back to sobriety again, before they came to Boston; and she turned off the main highway down a short spur road that ended above the rocky the car and tried shore, and st'-pp- take you home, then bring him some clothes in the morning before he has to go to court.

After they had been some silent moments on the road past Revere toward Boston, he asked stiffly, "Now, where do you live?" She told him. "I'm Barbara Sentry," she said.

He flung himself at the officer so violently that the policeman was borne backward and fell, and Johnny swarmed on top of him, and Barbara tried to come at them and was tossed aside by the violence of their movements, and the officer got to his feet and dragged Johnny upright, and said urgently, "Hey, buddy, behave!"

Worse, Robb marched straight to Helen, saluted, and said much too loudly, "Barbara says I must report for duty, Helen!" So some naturally, people laughed; and Helen was red with Her eyes met Barbara's anger. across the floor. And that was why Helen deliberately set to work to get Johnny Boyd drunk. For Barbara had come with Johnny, driving down from Boston. She liked him well enough. He was a gay youngster, still at Harvard, gentle and amusing and god fun; and he usually remembered his responsibilities. Tonight he had cut in on Robb once or twice, till Robb began to cut back so quickly that people noticed and laughed; and Johnny got a little mad. "I'll knock him endways if he cuts back this time," he told Barbara; and she said in pleading urgency: "No, Johnny! Don't have a row! I'll get rid of him. Here he comes now." Johnny obeyed her; but when a little later Barbara sent Robb to Helen, Johnny had disappeared; and someone else danced with Barbara, and before she could escape, Helen captured Johnny. They went out of doors somewhere, and Barbara could only wait for them to return; and when they came back again and began to dance together, Barbara saw what had happened. Helen had done her work well. Johnny was first red, then pale, then red again; and his teet were stumbling and uncertain. Someone cut in on them and took Helen and left Johnny tottering in the middle of the floor; and Barbara guided her partner that way. thanked him, dismissed him, turned to Johnny. He said, "Hi, Barb!" His arm encircled her. "Where you been all evening?" She steadied him skillfully. "I've a frightful headache, Johnny! And it's so hot in here; I'm just stifling. Would it spoil your fun if we started home?" He looked down at her in bemused suspicion. "Wait a minute! Trying to play nursemaid, are you? I'm all right. Barb!" "Of course you are! You're fine. 1 hate to drag you away, but I'm simply exhausted, Johnny." He said elaborately: "Well, of course in that case! Always the gentleman; that's me. Damsel in distress!

She remembered hearing that you could wake a drunken man by slapping his face, and she tried this; and Johnny muttered to himself, and someone beside the car said harshly "What's going on here?" Barbara turned and saw a policeman standing at her elbow, peering in at them. She said, "It's all right, officer. " But Johnny was awake now. "Sure's all right!" he declared; and in alcoholic belligerence demanded, "What do you want to make out of it?" The policeman said, "All right, buddy, pipe down."

I can't leave Someone touched her arm, and she whirled, and a man said, "Can I help in any way?" There was a moment's silence of surprise. The newcomer explained: "I'm Professor Brace, Harvard Business School. If I can be of service?" " It was the officer who answered him. "You might take the young lady home, Professor." he suggested. "The boy here has had a drop too many. I had to slap him down.

"If you picked your escorts a little more carefully, you wouldn't require rescue." "Oh, don't keep on being a proshe fessor," urged, smiling. "You're not in a classroom now." They emerged from the Tunnel; and as he swung to the right, he had to check speed for a moment to allow a car coming from the left to proceed in front of them. Professor Brace caught a glimpse of the man at the wheel; and as they followed the other car, Barbara said in quick surprise: "Why, that's father! That's our car. He must have been down at the office." "At the office? At this time of night? It's quarter past twelve!" "He has to go down sometimes " she explained. "Don't pass him. Let's let him get home before we do. He gives me the dickens when I'm out late." "Not very effectively, I should say," he commented; but he did slow down, kept half a block behind the other car.
