COLLEGE HEADS DEMAND
PROOBE OF RED CHARGE
Fort Worth, Texas, July 23.—Di-
rectors who formulate the policies of
seven state teachers colleges are go-
ing to demand a thorough investiga-
tion of charges made before the Dies
committee in Beaumont that Commu-
nism has filtered into one of the
schools, R. A. Stuart, past president
of the board, announced Tuesday
night.
Stuart, a former District Attor-
ney of Tarrant County, pointed out
that news stories saying the presi-
dent of one of

The handkerchief came
from the girl’s lips. Distinctly she
said, “I was not feeling well. I
( stayed home until the last minute.”
“On the C C ranch?” Battle per-
' sisted.
“I was home. I can prove that.”
1 She coughed. Her head turned. ,
With an effort Walt Gandy re-
nrained motionless, as for the sec-
ond time that pulling look of Helen
i Cameron’s dark eyes reached out to
hpn: She was asking him to stand
by her! Perhaps he alone knew the
truth p,f where she was today. Was
she going to call on him to . . .
His leap was automatic. It had

Gandy knew he had looked into that
sharp and swarthy face before. It
was a kind he ought to remember.
“Let’s have the makings, brother.”
The ramrod figure had come beside
him.
Their eyes met. "Brush-popper,

across all other theories and puz-
zlements of this day. Bill Hollis-

Walt gained the open street and
looked around. Men had been 'shot
for knowing less than he knew this
minute!

over the crowd. Her head moved
slowly; but her eyes darted. In a
glance they found the aisle seat.
Walt Gandy met them and at once,
for that instant across the fifteen
feet or less that separated him from
this girl, he felt a pull toward her
as strongly as if she had reached
out her hand. Something of the
telegraphic bond that years together
had established betwet n himself and
Bill Hollister, seemed instantly alive
behind the eyes of Helen Cameron.
That darting look was an appeal.
Gandy edged forward on his
bench. Helen Cameron reached the
platform. A cough shook her slim
holy ^md she pressed a handkerchief
to her lips, doubled a little, and
supported herself against the table
as if dizzy in the thick, stinging air.
Noticeably a change had coma
over the room. Hard-faced as these
Emigrant Fanchers were, and
ter against the power of Cash Cam-
eron, tney could not hold back the
softening of their looks as they
watched Cameron's daughter. - She
did not dfaw their pity, but she
drew out of them the best of their
respect. They admired her, she was
one of their own; and beyond that
she was an unforgettably attractive
girl standing there quietly now,
poised, waiting for the law to begin.
Facing the girl from his station'
farther along the table, Battle said:
