Her doubts were morning when he a: to have breakfast with her gucsts. “Now this,” he said gayly to her, “is what I call real devotion. A guy who'll leave a comfortable bed at this hour of the morning—” His grin crept into her mind. She dismissed all her suspicions, as she always did, with the thought that everything would be different once she was through college and could lease the rancho. The Sepereue of Nelda’s friends was vastly different from that of their last visit. All of them, includ- ing Harvey, had laughter in their eyes and gayety in their hearts. Over and over they declared they'd had a marvelous time. Jack w2s eoming into the yard now. He carried several letters in his hand. There was a buoyancy in letter for Laura that int.

Then | she handed the letter to Nelda. It was from the lawyer who had drawn up the last will of the de- man. $2500 in cash were left to Laura. An inheritance of a million wouldn't have been more of a sur- prise to her. “There must be some mistake,” she said. “I thought he’d live long- er'n eae if he was the com- plainin’ kind.” “The lawyers want you to come there at once so they can settle the estate,” Nelda to:d her. Laura sat very still for a short space, then she brought out, “That ‘ears we'll have to live on the ranch—Ham an’ me.” “Unless you sell it,” Jack said. Laura's eyes suddenly brighten- ed behind their tears. “We could have whipped cream galore! My brother has the nicest cows. One of them was named Cic'ly.” She rose and waddled out- side to tell her husband the news. The Surgeon To Be A drew Jack into the din- ing foom afd said, “You don’t know how I've worried about these two, I didn’t know what was going to become of them after my mar- Flage.” “I suppose you worried about me, too? “Of course.” “You needn’t any longer.” She glanced swiftly at him. He seemed different, as if some trans- ition had taken place in his spirit. The whole splerdid young length of him was vibrantly alive. She’d been vaguely conscious of it from the moment she saw him striding into the yard. “Tm going back to med school, Sis.” Although he said it noncha- lantly, there was a depth of emo- tion behind the words. “Buddy!” Her voice caught and her heart soared with relief.

Each club used three pitchers. E. Rodriguez twirled the first two frames for the losers, Armando Acevedo the next five and Bar- celo wound up the fracas on the 'slab. Pete White shot ‘em over during the first two cantos for the victors, then gave way to No- dine who lasted four frames, and Domenech pitched the remaining three stanzas. Rodriguez walked but one man and allowed only one hit. Ace- vedo was touched for ten safe- ties, striking out four and walk- ing that many. Barcelo gave up four safe blows and fanned one. Pete White faired worse of all, allowing six hits and striking out only one batsman, in two innings. In four frames, Nodine was touch- ed for eight hits, walking one and whiffing two. Domenech struck out four, gave up five safe blows, and walked one. Pete White was leader at the plate, with a triple, a double and two singles in four times at bat, for a perfect day. Svulomon hit two triples and two singles in four tries to share honors with White. A.

Each club scored three times | in the eighth frame, which, added to the 11-10 count, gives the final results.

The meeting was opened with the scripture reading by Patrol Leader Robert Smith, followed by the Lord’s Prayer by the troops. Unele Dan Beard was introduc- ed, and gave a very interesting talk on the founding of the Boy Scout movement. He told of how he conceived the idea to organize the youth of America, which later became the Boy Scouts of Amer- ica. He told how the name ‘scout* began, the early Scouters of 1905 to 1907. The good-turn is of Eng- lish origin, but is used univefsal- ly by all scouts, as is the scout oath, and laws. Uncle Dan stated that any boy or man who lives the scout oath and laws is hot a ‘sissy’, but a red-blooded boy or man. A very adventurous word pic- ture was given of his many years spent in the woods, the life of the Indians, their adventures, and life of living, and the calls that beckons a man into the wilds. Uncle Dan concluded his: talk with the best wishes for the boy scouts, and hoped that his mes- sage to the President of the Unit- ed States, that the boy scout oath and laws in some manner be in this country, will be fulfilled. The troops sang a welcome ex- pressing their feelings for Uncle Dan, followed by a scout yell.
