felt the gentle thrill that usually
visits the spinal region of the normal
man when he thinks of bouncing off
this dear. firm old earth into the re-

briskly along on the nose of an eighty
mile gale. visiting thunder in its happy
home and being the central figure IN a
forked lightning set piece. but the idea
that somebody else was going 10 4" the
