had a hankering for the air ever since
I can remember.
AS youngster l followed the ex-
ploits Of the wrights with the greatest
interest, although l must confess
sometimes hoped that they wouldn't
really conquer the air until I had had
a whack at 1t myself. I got more
whacks than was looking for later

Needless to say. my parents were
very much opposed to my risking my
life at what was undoubtedly at mat

times" a young fellow could select, and
every time l had a smashup or some
other mishap I was ordered never to 60

homesick fellow who is feeling pref

snakes, but they have their lonesome
moments when their hearts are full Of
aches; there are hours when they are
longing for the homes so far away;
