When they were alone in the light
of the fire Wayland turned to Eerrie:
I'm glad you're here. 1t must be
awesome to camp alone in a wilder
ness, and yet. l suppose, I must learn
to do it."
.'Yes, the ranger often has to camp

The weary youth went to his couch
with a sense Of timorous elation, for
he never before slept beneath the open
sky.
After the supervisor had rolled him
self in the blanket. long after all
sounds had ceased in the tent, there
still remained for the youth Il score
of manifold excitations to wakefulness
