Enthusiasm was high and every man today speaks of the work as a highly enjoyable vaca- tion—full of interesting inn. cram- med full of action. Men rose early in the morning in the clear moun- tain air. ate lots of good food, spent hours in the sun and went to bed early. As a. result they come back fanned, healthy and many of them gained in weight. In addition. they have done a good service for the country. They have showed that Connecticut's Na- tional Guard. at least. is not a col- lection of "fair weather" soldiers who wear a uniform attractively. ind delight in holiday parades. They are rather a. group of denim élad. highly technical experts. such it takes years to train. . The government is placing its donndence in the National Guard as never before.

Michael .‘ilcnlow had neier ana- lyzed his interest in Claudio. Hor- ner. Was it law? He would have denied it .and sincerely so. but he “as deeply stirred by the thought of Claudio commercializing her beauty. It was no if he had dis- covered a rare flower and was un- willing to share its loveliness with anyone else. Only the flower w I not his.

He was cm~ barrassed when he faced that pon- derous. ruhby-faccd individual. "I came to see you about the girl that Lonnie Clipper brought to you." Michael began uneasily. “Yes?" Mctioun studied his vital- for. They were in his office. a stuffy. drafty place with walls cov- ered with autographed photos of “professional" actors and act‘resses. Michael hestitated. not sure. of what he wanted to say. McCoun puffed solemnly at his cigar. "Er. do you think she has much chance of success on the stage 2’" The theatrical agent and produc- er shrugged. “Well. she’s pretty. and shapely. You never can tell. It‘s personality that counts. you know." He wondered what this man Menlow was driving at. "Well." Michael said. "she's such a pretty thing. I hate to see her go the way of most: women on the stage. I mean I hate to see her spoiling her beauty with cosmetics. and high living and that sort of thing." "Oh. I see." McCoun regarded Michael shrewdly. He considered for a moment. Menlow. he knew. was a. close friend of Lonnie Cap- per’s. He. felt that he could talk to him frankly. "I don't know_wh_v you are in- terssted in this girl.“ he replied, eyeing his cigar and viewing Mich. ael furtively. ".but I think you have is mistaken idea about her. I see hundreds of girls like her every year. She‘s a very common type. beautiful but not so strong on gray- matter. of his words and proceeding care- fully. "She's a Venus new. but in a. couple or three years she'll begin to fade, and nothing could kee- her from doing it. She‘ll begin to get fat. and her ankles will run over her shoes."

"Don't worry about this girl being ‘rulned' by the stage. This is a real opportunity for her.

She‘d 'rather live just a lit- tle while than notat all. regardless of the cost. And .I don't blame her." Michael sat through this rumbl- lrg discourse unmoved. Then thoughfully. he said: "But would she necessarily fade and end in the gutter if she was ghen the oppor— tunity to live right. to acquire an education and a background—1‘" lilcCeun smiled. "Possibly. if she had any brains.-But she hasn't You can't do anything for such people. She'll always be Caludle Herner of Green street. no matter how beautiful she is." Michael began to see McCoun‘s viewpoint. After all. what was Candle Homer to him? Did he love her? The question came to his mind for the first time. He smiled. No. He loved Lllsh. and no one else. He was sure of it.

Dinner Stories A planter down in Kentucky had gur' employed a strange negro as a mule driver. He handed him a. brand-new blacksnake whip, climb- ed up on insect bvhlnd a pair of mules. and asked the. darkey if he could use the whip. Without a word the mule-driver drew the black lash between his fingers. swung it over his head. and flicked a beautiful butterfly from a clover blossom alongside the road over which they were traveling. "That isn't so bad." remarked the planter. "Can you hit that honeybee mer there?" Again the negro swung the whip. and the honeybee fell dead.
