The distance there was four miles, but T made nothing of it—twice a day! And, If the distance was long to the swimming school, the woods were near at hand. There I spent hours upon hours, examining plants and birds. T gathered plants for school children who would not be bothered with the work. I was a great one for finding birds’ nests In God's lovely nature I have spent many a quiet minute. Even now, when I come home from a sporting trip, I go there. And there I always find new interest and energy. On both my American trips I i/ . D : | lived in New York near the Bronx Coat -‘1.‘1(’- two buttons park.

My father used to take part in party- politics, but I have never done so. I am no friend of company, not even visitors. The authors who have interested me most are Tolstoy, Maeterlinck and Emerson. 1 have also read profusely such authors as London, Poe, Kipling, Dumas, etc. Of course I like our own natlye literature, This is the sixth of a series of articles by Paavo Nurmi, in which the great Finnish run- ner in his own way tells the stery of his life.
