very fine quality tst trtily satlsfyingonlr 43c per lb the radio detective by arthur b reeve chapter i thirty seconds to flat rahl rah rah rockledge i yayyy evans 1 ken adams fourteen and in the prep school pointed for roekledgo university danced up and down yell ing himself hoarse easton evans his scoutmaster right tackle on the varsity team was tearing up one of the best forward passes that the shef field team had been practicing in sec ret for weeks it was the big cham pionship game between roekledgo and sheffield its eastons last year at college i do hope they win the championship ruth adams her blue eyes dancing dark hair waving in the wind leaned forward eagerly waving the red and blue of rockledge the rockledge football bow was crowded to overflowing a sea of wild ly enthusiastic partisans of the con tending teams for this was the last and great game of the season the star plnyer and right tackle of the rockledge lineup the hero of the day was this same easton evans easton nnv the hero of the college but of the prep school as well for he jinsvde and pal of the boy scouts 1 had ducked the assignment of my -wsivipii- tlio star to report the big game preferring to join the box party my close friend craig kennedy the scientific detective uncle of ken and ruth was giving to a number of friends ken was craigs favorite had been named after him craig ken nedy adams worshipped him but it- was difficult to say whether he out- 1 ranked ruth whowas the image of i craigs sister carolie then too crair had annnzed this in a sensa as a tribute to easton evans this gath ering togethe of some friends j the fact of the matter was that to craig this was more than a chamniont ship football game none better than craig knew the qualities and worth of easton evans the friendship had arisen through craigs appreciation of what easton was doing for ken in the scouts it had deepened when craig had discovered in evans inven- j tive genius along the radio line that- gave promise of another marconi or deforest many a night the two had spent together experimenting trying out some of eastons latest radio models glorious nights they had seemed toj ken and myself for i was as big a mdl as the boy over radio easton hadl built for himself what ho called hls i radio shack on the placid shore of j rockledge inlet and there it wa3 that j taking advantage of craigs radio knowledge as a real font of inspira- 1 jtion easton had developed a deep j understanding and creative genius kennedys keen subtle mind his terse unfailing conclusions when eastons i scientific doubts and hesitations need ed encouragement his uncanny logi- cal inductions from a mere speck of a scientific premise had frequently led eastons alert brain to the correct i solution of many complicated radio problems thus between the two had grown up a true friendship and craig hadbeen in a sense the elder brother of both the older and younger boy it was- therefore with unalloyed happiness that craig and i saw thej enthusiasm that greeted easton ho was even genuinely regarded as a sportsman by his opponents such was my regard for him that i felt it did them as much credit as it did him also i noted the slight twinkle in craigs eyes as he caught the eager flush on the cheek of his niece ruth deep inhis heart kennedy had long sensed the growing attachment be- r tween ruth and easton and had look- ed on it with more than a secret favor with us besides ken and ruth were kens scout chum little dicki gerard of the same age as ken andj dicks sister vira gerard about the age of ruth next to vira and as deeply interested in her as easton w3 in ruth was young glenn buck ley in the same class and the same fraternity as easton the romancs of glenn and vira had gone further they were engaged the game had scarcely started when our box party was joined by two other invited guests professor ron ald vario of the rockledge radio station and his sister rae the professor had lately come from eur ope to take charge of the great broad casting station one of the largest in the country he was a very fascinat ing man and his sister rae was a dark vivacious beauty of indetermln- able age but with a ready smile anu flashing eyes dangerous to the hearts of any young men of a susceptibt age and temperament it was an interesting and striking party and i could cot help dividing my time between watching this ex- citing game and my companions rae had made much over both ruth and vira especially over vira but there was something more that interested me than the sweetly gushing rae did i fancy that vira and glenn were somewhat selfconscious inthe pres ence of professor vario and his sister yet careful of hiding any embarrass ment or was it mere imagination the professor looked suave yet once i caught a calculating glance in his eyes as he looked at glenn bucldey then there were times when i fancied also i saw a fascination for the pro fessor on the part of glenn the quick turns in this game gave me no chance however to study the members of craigs party further or to speculate as to whymy friend thej scientific detective had brought them together if indeed he had any other reason than that which ho had given in sending out his invitations the game was on the sheffield team was playing like a precise ero- nomoter smoothly dependably on the other hand- the rockledge eleven was playing a sporadic game every man was at a high pitch nervous keen but now and then i detected a tendency to take chances the team was like a marvelous race horse full of temperament high- strung they needed the cool and firm hand of an exceedingly expert jockey to carry out that simile of the race horse in other words was easton evans going to exert that steadying influence on that team so that it would work like a machine and pull victory in the end out of this close contest i wondered at any rote easton evans the star and right tackle of- the rockledge eleven was now almost literally rid ing his team now cajoling his team mates slapping them on the back as they lined up for the next play the next moment in a spurt of his own brilliant playing carrying them along like a typhoon once it seemed that easton by a herculean effort- was ideal- moment suddenly ken let out a whoop his keen eyes had seen it a loose ball back of the sheffield line someono had fumbled 1 ken yelled like a demon enston had broken through had grabbed up the pigskin he did not hesitate ho did not stop ho was off down the field with it tucked close under his arm the stands rose in pandemo nium as twentyone players started after him i always on the job muttered craig thats football thats life when the ball was loose east was there go it east yelled ken on he sped were they gaining on him it wbb gruelling ninety yards for a touchdown al most the length of the field the whole of two teams trailing him the cheer ing sections yelling their heads off the rockledge band beating its brass drum safe at last easton

brother lisjitcdtoronto solj eiiryjuet cveny matched it was a kicking game in this half but it was not a ragged game it was cleancut there were not many fumbles and when they happened they hid not seem to give the other team much advantage in fact this was a splendid game to watch i saw that at the end of the first quarter and there was nothing to change my opinion as the first half ended 00 between the halves there was much excitement in tho crowded bowl as rockledge on the east stand sang and cheered then sheffield on the west had its innings with lustylunged acrobatic cheerleaders there was a tensity in the air that told me thnt someone before this day was over wa coming out as hero to go down in the football annals of this classic contest as long to be remembered during this intermission a boy of fifteen or thereabouts entered the box he spoke for a moment to professor vario i knew him this was hank hawkins son of a banker whose par ents wore neglecting him shamefully the father submerged in business the mothers time taken up by her activi ties in society i knew hank- as a member of the flying eagles patrol of which ken adams was patrol lead ed ken had told me he had recently had to suspend hank from sundry patrol activties by way of discipline hank was alxut to leave the box when ken caught sight of him and called him over f n somewhat of a hangdog manner hank answored the summons and awkwardly gave the scout salute to his patrol leader ken were going to have a meeting to morrow at the eagles nest said ken scoutmaster evans will give us a talk on radio i expect you with uneasily shifting eyes hank said he would attend tho meeting then as the second half was about to start he sidled his way out of the box the second half was pretty much like the first no one could say if ho were impartial that he was not ob taining his moneys worth in this game both teams were out for blood the score stood blank and tied at the end of the third quarter also every one was on his toes as the teams changed ends of the field for the final period then came a succession of breaks in the game that favored sheffield it began by their running back of a purit as the last quarter was drawing to a close through a broken field hart of sheffield wormed his way until the ball stood en tho fortyfive yard line sheffield made its first down just when it counted thirtyfive yards to go to victory on the next try rockledge held for tho first two downs easton was working- he was a tower of strength it was evi dent that if sheffield was to win they must take a big chance the forward pass again the ball sailed over the heads of the team and dropped into the arms of the sheffield end on rocklcdges five yard line evans dropped the player in his tracks they

ball was snapped for the fatal play thero was a general melee of plnyorfl in the closo formation of the cap over the goal posts in the delirium of victory as the team carried east evans off the field on their shoulders almost speechless between laughter and tears ruth turned from craig to professor vario then grasped vira by both hands as she almost kissed her vira tonight our new super heterodyne
