Like most buoyant persons. Peter
drowned periodically In depths OF mo-
tiveleSS depression. He was sure that
he would not find Orme. He was sure
that Jimmy would fire him, that ne
could not find another job and that ne
would slide step by step down hill until
he and the last fragments of the chug-
ging "Bossy" would come to roost some
where in public campground. He was
sure that in some crazy, heroic, mex
plicable moment Barbara had herself
killed Sheila OShay and that he would
have to stand by, helpless, and watch
that shining head betrayed to the gray
castle. in their way-of the State
prison.
That thought reused him to action.
mot till I'm dead, anyway" he said
aloud, and dragged his steps drearlly,
hopelessly across the field to a corner
where young man sat on the running
board of nud-Spattered runaoout,
munching hamburger sandwich.
Peter held out his package of Gig
arettes and forced his stiff lips to a
companionable grin.
What's the luck up this way, bud
dy?" he asked, as conversational
opening.
Rotten" the young man answered
laconically. There amt no work Tor
nobody no more. Seems like I gotta
get something before can move on.
And the next place it'll be just the

This pessimistic view of the economic
situation chimed with Peters discour-

| it came to the worst he would drlVe
| her himself to the Mexican border
| He didn't know what he would do
| But they should not get Barbara-never
| no matter what she had done.
With squeal of brakes and drag
| ging of wheels on the pavement Peter
brought "Bossy" to an abrupt halt. He
had almost driven past the entrance
to the automobile camp.
"Bossy'' looked by no means out OF
place in the scattered company OF
derelict cars parked in a field worn
to dusty smoothness by innumerable
tires.
A hot dog stand on wheels filled one
corner and strip of unpainted cabins
at the rear offered shelter at 25 cents
night But most of the campers
were content with tent-like roofs
stretched from the frames of their
cars to stakes thrust into the ground.
A number had only rolls of tattered
bedding spread beside the running
board. Thin lines of gray smoke
stovies squatting here and there about
the enclosure.
Peter stretched his cramped legs and,
tossing his pipe into a corner of the
seat. lighted a cigarette.
And the romance of gypsying has
come to this!" he unused, his gaze drift
ing from man stretched in stertorous
slunber to a woman with draggled gray
hair cutting thick slices of bread with
a clasp knife, to girl in grease-spat-
tered khaki army breeches and high
heeled patent leather pumps, to a
group of quarreling, dirt-smeared chill
dren.
Gypsying! Green dells and wander
ing tinkers, the singing freedom of the
countryside. Perhaps it had always
been like this, really, just as Barbara S
knights had ridden out of castles un-
blessed by plumbing. These were the
modern vagabonds, the unemployed, the
drifters the petty thieves, the incompe-
tents, who bundled their families and
scant possessions into ramshackle Fords
and roasted, rent free at public camp
grounds until they were periodically
weeded out. to rattle on again as far as
their gas would take without
hope. without plan, without beauty,
without even the clean crash Of real
disaster.

teen years. For several years the
National Rife association has pro-
NOTED junior rifle clubs In every
state. This year the range at times
resembled a huge school yard during
recess.
One of the reasons for the large
number of entries this year is the pro-

campers happy. There were demon
stratiOns of all arms by the army. The
pilgrims were also given every oppor-
tunity to enjoy bathing, canoeing and
other sports.
Prior to the shooting of the national
matches many contests of national i'm
pOrtance will be held under the super
vision of the National Rifle associa-
ton. Among these events are the
Presidents match, the Wimbledon
Cup and Leech Cup matches, some
regimental matches, and other events
that have been fired year after.
In the past a number of youngsters
have entered the great craftsmanship
derby on the shores of Lake Erie, but
most of them have been the sons OF
officers of the army, navy or marine
corps. This year, however, boys and
girls from all parts Of the country
sent in their applications to the head
