Originated on the Atlantic Sea-
board in 1914, the United States
Power Squadrons have grown to
National proportions in recent years,
and the addition of the new Cali

Coast and along the Great Lakes.
Recognition of the spread through
out the country was voiced at the
special meeting of delegates The
delegates voted to increase the pres
ent membership limit of the board

members, 19 will be representatives
of units in the South, Midwest,
Southwest and Pacific Coast.

with his grandmother. And if the
meaning had gone out of everything
for him, if there was no longer any
cause or purpose for trying to sue
coed, why burden her with that knowl-
edge?
Brent and Hank had been doing a
little preliminary cleaning up around
the Lodge. Now at dusk they walked
back through the woods toward Abb
gals house. Hank said goodnight
at the bend in the road and trudged
off toward his own cottage, his head
bent against the raw wind, his ancient
mackinaw Rugged close about him.
There was a car parked on the drive
ahead. Brent peered at it through
the gathering dark. A small coupe,
Sara Gregory's.
The thought occurred to him that
Sara had been coming rather often
to his grandmother's house lately.
Well, that was all right. Abigail
was fond of her, she enjoyed her COM
pany. He was fond of her himself,
for that matter. Sara's unfailing
cheerfulness and understanding had
helped him through all the dark
months since March's departure.
Tonight Sara wasn't quite her usual
self. There were faint shadows un-
der her dark eyes, an unfamiliar poig
nancy about her smile. Sitting oppo-
site Brent at dinner, she seemed cur
iously childlike and helpless, her GUS
tomary bright vivacity overload by a
faint patina of WEAKNESS.
81 guess 1 wasn't meant to be a
school teacher" she apologized. "The
darling little brats really got under
my skin today. That's why I came
over, really. 1 wanted cheering up"
Gran said firmly, "What you needs
diversion. Brent, why don't you take
Sara to the movies? It'd do you both
good"
"Maybe it would at that" Brent
grinned across at Sara. II haven't
been to a show in ages. How about
it,"
Sara agreed, her eyes shining. ut
would be fun. If you're sure you
don't mind?" She turned a gaze of
mock severity on Abigail. "You were
sort of hijacked into it,"
Sitting shoulder to shoulder with
Sara in the slightly stuffy atmosphere
of Kenoqua's only threaten, Brent
found himself enjoying the absurd

situations which unrolled before them.
The picture was light and musical,
sufficiently removed from reality to
afford the maximum amount of re-
Taxation. Sara seemed to be enjoying
herself, too. But later, over hot choco
late and waters at the drug store, she
was subdued once more and quiet,
speaking only when she was spoken
to, her dark gaze brooding.
Getting into her little car, she sug-
gested, "You drive, Brent"
And Brent slid his long length un-
der the wheel obediently enough, start
ed the motor. AS they left the lights
of the town behind, he asked trifle
diffidently, There's nothing-wrong,
is there, Sara? mean, you seem
so sunk
He realized with a little shock that
she was crying. Crying softly and
hopelessly, her face hidden in the up
turned collar of her coat. Abruptly
he swung the car over to the side of
the road, stopped. It wassFery dark
beyond the windows. It was dark
within, too, but this was a friendly
dark. They were enclosed in a small
world of their own, world of warmth
and intimacy, into which the cold
dark outside could not penetrate.
Brent asked, what is it, Sara?
You can tell me-" Because Of the
liking he had always felt for her, the
sudden sharp pity that rose in him at
the sight of her tears, his arm went
around her, so that she went against
his shoulder.
He had to bend his head a little
to hear the words, muffled and in
distinct, that were pouring from her.
"Isn't everything wrong, Brent?
Hasn't everything always been wrong
for us?" She was clinging to him
now, frankly and unashamed, her
arms creeping, upward about his neck.
She said huskily, Nights like this,
when I can be with you even for a
little while-they're like a taste of
heaven, darling. But they only make
things harder afterward. Are we to
go on like this forever?"' There was
shaken passion in her tone. It ap-
palled Brent, as her words appalled,
him and the clasp of her arms about
his neck. There was fantastic quail
ity about the whole unexpected sit
uation. He would have put her from

Such surety. She and Brent had been
sure, too. They had made plans,
dreamed shining dreams. Plans and
dreams that had come finally to moth
ing, leaving her shattered and lonely.
March thought, if only we could
have another chance. If only we
could go on from where Conchita and
Pete are standing.
But second chances are not to be
had for the wanting. And so many
waste their first. 1. -.
Kenopua in November. Winter in
the air, in the chill wind sweeping
through the trees. Gone were the
hordes of summer people. Once more,
walking on Main Street you saw only
familiar faces, were hailed by the
voices of old friends. The Casino
was closed and all the gayly decorated
cocktail lounges. At Sandy's the bar
was kept open, but the roulette tables
and the various other gambling de-
vices had long since been shrouded
for their winter sleep. Town life
had settled down to normal once more
1t had been good season.
Nor was it, so far as most of the
outlying resort owners were concern
ed, quite over. This was a year
when there would be an open season
on deer. Soon hunters would des-
cend on the quiet woods and for a
week the slaughter would continue.
Bucks by the thousands would be kill
ed or injured.
Among the natives, there was a
sharp divergence of opinion concern
ing the sport. Some carried their dis
approval to the extent of posting
their land with No Trespassing signs,
much to the disgust of their less
squeamish neighbors. These main
tanned with undeniable logic that the
killing of deer at not too frequent in
tervals was necessity, saving them
from the ravages of starvation and
disease which must surely follow in
the wake of their entertained repro
duction.
Brent Randolph had always adher-
ed to the latter opinion. The fact
that the Lodge would be profitably
filled during the seven-day season
was beside the point. He and Abb
gail had done we'll enough during the
summer to keep the Lodge closed
now, had they cared to. Thankful
ness rose in Brent whenever he
thought of the reassuring success
they had had. Not spectacular, but
steady. They had money in the bank,
he and Gran, and their debts were
paid. In the spring he would build
two more cottages at least. Later on,
in another year or so, perhaps he
could get enough of the resorters to
band together to promote a season
of winter sports, as they had done at
Eagle River and Geneva. Kenoqua
had just as much to offer. Brent lik-
ed to occupy his thoughts with plans
like these, he liked to talk of them

to it,"
March asked, her mouth twisting,
"You imagine then, that I came back
because I preferred the sort of life
I'm leading now to the happiness 1
knew with Brent?"
Conchita shrugged, you've never
told me enough about it to give my
imagination a fair start. But the
fact that you left him would seem to
indicate that you and Brent couldn't
make a go Of marriage. So what?
So the thing to do is to go on from
there, not stand looking back at the
ruins, regretting what's past and
DONE"
March asked in a voice so lost and
bitter that even Conchita was silenced
GO on to what?"
They didn't speak of the matter
again. The days dragged past. Oc-
tober swept in, crisply blue and gold
en-. There was a haze in the air.
Leaves drifted down from park trees.
March thought of Wisconsin. She
hadn't been there in the autumn. She
never would be now. Her magma
ton pictured the piled glory of fallen
leaves along the wood trails, the
smoky tang of the air. Her traitor
thoughts, curbed sharply, stopped
short of Brent. He was an ache in
her thoat, a singing back of her
eyelids, an utter, devastating empti-
ness spreading to the farthest corners
of her being. But she wouldn't think
of him. -.
One night in October Conchita came
home from a date with Pete Carstairs
to drop down on the side Of March's
bed, glad wonder in her face.
She said, in voice unsteadied by
emotion, but such a sure voice,
March, Pete and 1 are going to be
married. Forget all the things said,
the clever, sophisticated, silly things.
They aren't worth remembering. They
weren't worth saying But it took a
terrific jolt to make me realize it,.
"a jolt?" March repeated.
Conchita nodded, her eyes alight.
"Pete gave it to me straight from
the shoulder. You see, he's going to
be transferred to the New York office
in two weeks. It's an advancement
for him. His salary" for just
second the old, irresponsible Conchita
flashed through, Heaven help us!-
will be almost as much as mine is
now. But that's all right, because
won't have salary to complicate
matters" Her voice deepened. "It's
heavenly feeling, darling, stepping
off the deep end like this and not
caring. Not being afraid or uncer-
tain, knowing you'll come out all
right"
March sat up and put her arms
around Conchita. They chung togeth-
er for long moment. Then March
said, "I'm glad-for both of you. I
hope you'll be happy"
Conchita's tone held wonder. 81
don't know what came over Pete. He
scared me. He told me if 1 didn't go
with him it would mean the end of
everything, that I'd never see him a.
gain or hear from him. I wonder if
he was bluffing. 1t was so much
fun being ordered around and having
everything decided for me, 1 didn't
bother to find out"
Long after Conchita had gone to
bed and the room was dark and cool
with the breeze through the open win
dow, Conchita talked blithely on and
March listened.
So many plans, SO many dreams.
