afraid he might be killed. and
she was risIdng her own life,
she thought, to save his.
But since that fire George has had
to support his mother. And it was

growing up we continued fast
friends. When left school got q
job in the office OF the street rail-
way company, and later, until
George and ! left Canada, was en-
ployed by my uncle In his dry goods

OF course, George was working
hard, too, but he entered swim
ming meet every time he could
scrape up enough cash to cover his
expenses. We met often in such
contests and have seen dear old
George win practically all Of his
swimming honors. So right here
had better sum up these events just
to show what years OF training and
hard work are the foundation Of
Georges present fame.

ripe for the experiment.
There are two reasons, believe,

take the chance. First, there was
his mother. He wanted to make her
happy. but he didn't care about
money for himself. And to him the
Catalina swim was q challenge, and
