The game went on with Hodge a real Job at left end. Every time that same State runner came steaming round that end Bart was outside the opposing lineman and to make a forcing the wider swing. Thus he gave the Fardale backfield time to charge in and stop the play repeatedly before more than small gains could be made. And once he broke clear and brought the runner down himself for a slight loss. The whole team had stiffened. Seeing this. State went into smashing tactics that soon had Kane sending in replacement after replacement for players who had been knocked out of commission. The coach was using up his best reserves fast, but, between pluck and many lucky breaks, Fardale hung on through the first and second quarters without being scored against again. But the had fought s more than of the time In its own territory.

His heart pounding, Merry leaped up and hastened to report to the referee. At last! Ten seconds later he was in the midst of another line smash that stopped State again, with no gain. Then State went into the air, but the first pass was incompleted and a kick followed. Fardales safety man got the ball and ran with it when Merry cut off the State player who was charging to tackle. A gain set the Fardale crowd roaring. This was like the Musketeers when they were right State was both worried and angry now, and nothing does more damage than worry and anger. Before the Maroon players could pull themselves together Fardale ha'd tricked them' with a faked pass and an end run that netted another first down. Was Fardale going to town? Fast action now, fast and sure. No waiting for State to settle down. A for two yards, and then an unexpected trick. Fardale came r back with States own play. It surprised and disconcerted State, threw the secondary defense into uncertainty and completely off balance. The runner came through the hole and broke loose with the ball. He was Merriwell Weaving, dodging, changing his pace, Frank was as elusive as an electrified ghost He straight-armethe tackW and was in last would-bthe open. , There was no stopping him then. With the goggling gasping, roaring crowd standing to the last human who could stand, he sped away for a touchdown. And then, Block that kick! was the imploring cry of the State crowd as Fardale lined up to try for the point with Springall holding and Frank in position to boot the leath side-steppin- g, And jw ahead of there." .The coach had been holding Frank in double-spinne- the cow, half carried him toward the Fardale bench. He was completely out of the game. Now, Merriwell said Kane, go Merry advanced and swung the good right leg that somebody had accused him of stealing from Charlie Brickley. The spheroid sailed over the exact center of the crossbar, putting the Musketeers one point ahead, and the north stand became a madhouse. Merriwell didnt know they were cheering for him. He didn't hear the crowd roaring his name. So concentrated was he upon the bust ness in hand that he saw and heard nothing, not a part of it Heart and soul he was giving .that bus! ness all he had to give. Now It was up to Fardale to hole lead to hold it somethat how and to add to it if humanly possible.

Then two completions carried the Maroons to Fardales 15 yard line and had the Fardale spec tators shaking in their shoes.

Again he was off for a run, with the crowd shrieking Once more he ducked and weaved and went flying onward. But a maroon backfidlder had him. He couldn't get past this time Mot a chance. Frank had seen a lone Fardale runner coming up. It was Hodge. But Bart couldn't reach the man to block him. So Merry, veering to the left, threw a lateral to Hodge and threw himself, instantly, into the clutches of the tackier, both going down.

Merriwell again booting the ball for the extra point, had beaten the strong State Second team, 14 to 6. Kane himself was laughing like a boy. He had told them all what he thought of the fine Job they had pulled off. and he had actually hugged both Merriwell and Bart Hodge. Now let anybody tell me Fardale hasnt got a team! he said. Bart took his shower and and dressed In a hurry. He was the first to leave. Merry saw him go and fancied he knew the cause of his haste. Of course he had a' date to meet a certain person after the game. Tad Jones was waiting when Frank left the gym. The boy was steaming with excitement . Gosh, Frank!" he chattered. Gosh, you was Just the real You was right there with the old works. Ill tell the cockeyed, worldl But theres somethin els 1 gotter tell you. Miss Inzas gone up to Mr. Snodds nd wants you to come there right away. . She told me to fetch ya, dead or alive. Merriwell hesitated. So that was where Hodge had hastened away to so soon.

Theyre celebratin, nd Professor Scotch is leadin em. Hes hoarse as an old bullfrog, too. He wont have no voice to lecher with for a week." Merry found Inza in Snodds big living room, alone. She was sitting at the piano, Just as he had seen her the first time, and her fingers were dancing like pixies over the keys. The music that poured from the piano was wild and gay. He came up and stood beside her. She felt him there, and the tune ended with a crash. She sprang up and caught hold of him with eyes a starry glow. 1 want "Oh, Frank!" she said. to tell you, Frank, that youre Just the greatest thing that ever blew into this neck of the woods.
