"A friend had called her up just as,
the sun went down, begging that she
would persuade her brother Bob to.
drive her over to the park for a pic
mic lunch. with a moonlight sail on
the lake to follow. Bob had been
eagerly agreeable, and soon after their
big car was safely parked near the
monument Dulcie lost her brothers
companionship. as he Immediately at

Dulcie was glad that the laughing
departure Of the party for the lake

pride which had caused her such
useless misery. .$s
Ronnie was going to war. That was
the uppermost thought. Tomorrow he
would be on his way to camp.
OF course it had not been Ronnie's
