Il believe there are lots of boys back
home who could have done the same
thing if they had trained as 1 did" said
Johnnie Hayes after winning the bril-
liantly run Marathon at the London
Olympic games in 1908.
Johnnie was right But TO do what
Johnnie did requires a world of ambi-
ton and hard work. especially if the
lad who wants to go after a record has
to labor at such prosaic thing as clerk
ing in a store, like Johnnie did.

And at last, when her numbed fin

counterweighted lid rose slowly by
itself, just as it had used to, and re-

But now when the cover opened and
she saw beneath it a thick volume,
bound in red morocco she realized
that here, under her hand. was the

Aurora had set out upon her perilous
voyage.
The first sight of her fathers clear,
erect, precise handwriting warmed
her with sudden courage. But even
this new inspiration of courage did
not make her strong enough to turn

tragic journal first She tried to do
it, but the will failed her. So she be-

that poured its icy stream through the
leaky walls Of the hut and made the
candle flicker; oblivious, even to the
very sound which she had meant to
wait for-the sound of Toms voice
calling out to her from the yacht. and
the sound of other, more alarming,
nearer voices.
They all fell on deaf ears as she
turned page after page of that pre-
cious record of her fathers life. 1t

door and the jam. A few inches more

appeared in the doorway.
AS the door on opening swung to-

the vault, Doyle. shielded by it, was
enabled to put one foot over the sill
and stand half within the vault room.
Pressing himself close against the
door, he could watch in the darkened.

Flanagan and Mr. Lee Randall. alias

He saw the sheet of sandpaper fut-

his fingers with his tongue to ease the
burning pain that throbbed through
them; he saw Red Flanagan drop on
his knees and crouch against the door
of the giant safe; he saw Valentine
step forward, seize the combination
with the tips of his fingers. press his
ear against the vault and gently, ca
ressingly, ever so gently, twirl the
shining nickeIed knob Of the combina-

George Doyle had his dearest wish
