SPRING TRAININ A COUPLE UF > PLENNY OF WIM ozarKy } Chapter 13 FS breeze on July the Fourth, however, was surprisingly harsh, nipping the skin of every- one who ventured onto the beach in a bathing suit. There were groans galore when it was ru- mored that Jane Bancroft had de- cided to cancel the swimming meet which had been scheduled for the noliday, and during the morning a stream of callers came to her tent in Officers’ Row to lodge protests. It was all quite that she was dealing not with adults -but with children, and made several rather caustic com- ments ,until Mr. Forsythe hap- pened to overhear one of them. descended upon her like an angry mother hen protecting her brood. “It is part of the fun,” he told her angrily. “This is what they re- quire. I don’t expect to hear you making rt of them again, Miss Bancroft.” Thoroughly chastened, she made a poor companion as she went off into the woods with the romoted and very happy Mike to examine a new hik- ing trail he had more or less cut from the forest. “Sure an’ it’s a host O’im walkin’ with, O’im inkin’,” he said sorrowfully. She had to laugh. “It’s just that every time I open my mouth I seem to put my foot into it. Mike, do'we dare risk holding that fool swimming meet?” He waited until thi had reached a clearin; then lcoked up at the . “Sure an’ itll be a grand day, I'm thinkin’. Hold the blasted swimming meet, an’ bad cess to the division as loses” She decided to take his advice. A swimming meet would contribute a rox deal toward relieving her of the sense of bore- dom which had been troubling her ever since the night Evelyn Moore had sat up on cot and told her she was ae to be helped despite herse! ere had been no word from George. That hurt. She had hoped that the sight of her would quicken within him the desire he had once had to marry her. She had stuck pretty close to camp, with the result that even the love- surroundings had begun to pall. She turned and headed back to camp f° THIS ROCK BILL Have you ever stopped to think | of what Love really is? | Oh, sure -- all of us can name | the qualities which go to make it up. Suen things as humility, gen- | erosity, graciousness, tolerance, | faith, etc. | But what is Love itself? I've muddled over that problem time and time again, and you know what? -- I've just about decided that Love isn't anything definite - anything that you can point your finger at and say, “Boy, there it is-” Love is a means to an end. Just like humility is one of the compo: nents cf Love, so the latter is one of the components that lead to God. Personal Opinions These are personal opinions, of course, so if I start to step on someone's toes, just skip the col umn for today. I'm not one to believe that the patuway to pure enlightenment can ever be achieved by Love a lone. Or by any other single qua j lity for that matter.

She came alive. She was doing something exciting once more, and her glowing ex- pression told all interested that she was at last having some of the fun she had come to have at Camp Joy. Dr. Hall, arriving di- rectly after lunch, was startled to discover that she could be a very attractive young aay He | went to her, his eyes frankly ad- Ae “You look wonderful, Miss Bancroft,’ he complimented her. “You look at though all the nightmare has left you.” She was annoyed with him. e/ “You could profit from a few days of rest here, too. You look terri- ble.” “You know how it is” He jaughed forlornly. “We could use another judge. Or do you think it would be crim- inal for you to spend a few hours out there on the float in the sun- shine?” “You should stop being sc _bel- ligerent,” he said with a faintly rebuking smile. “As a matter of She took him by the arm and led him down to the boathouse where Ken, as usual, was holding court for a cluster of admiring young ladies. “Ken, can you tear yourself away long enough to equip Dr, Hall for an afternoon judging?” “You bet, Boss.” Ken led the doctor inside and Jane, aware of the resentment her appearance on the scene had caused, smiled featly at the attractive Pepns ladies. “If I were you ge 'd be re in my bee mp - all your ener; you make your siviion win” ancro} they “may we have Ken on Yate But she had the last laugh. “Of course.
