of an interesting background. His great-grandfather on his mothers side was one of the pioneers ap- pointed by the English crown to survey the wilds of Canada He also surveyed and laid out much of the present city of Milwaukee. His grandfather was noted angler An uncle was a worlds champion breaststroke- swimming champion for 13 years And both his mother and father have been nature en- thuSiaStS.
 His mother died when he was months old, but his grandfather and an aunt, who still looks after him, developed his inherited interest in outdoor life. His first interest was in birds. At he could identify 365 different types. When he had ex- hausted most of the ordinary sources of information on birds, he turned to the study of butterflies From there he went to bugs and insects, then shells and marine life, and finally geological speciments.
 By the time he was ready to enter school, young Gerard knew more about outdoor life than the average teacher. His favorite recreation is reading the National Geographic Magazine. There's hardly a book on the subject of birds that he hasn't read
 For a youngster who has been so occupied in the search of knowl- elge, Gerard displays little of the usual disadvantages of such devel- opement. He has an excellent sense of humor and doesn't tend to show off"

from my dream.
| I swung to face him. He was
holding a bright bay mare so much
like my own vanished Coache that
I could only hope Cary's genealogy
would develop into a 10.O0O-page
volume.
After luncheon we really did set
tie down to work. Cary was a trifle
hesitant about debating at first,
but once started his words came
fluently, and my fingers flew to
keep up with him. He knew his
subjects thoroughly, and his pho
bia did not intrude between him
and the spoken word or written
page. The Essex familJ was the
heart of his work, Purple Beeches
it's loadstone, and the Seven Seas
the background.
If the rest of it went as well as
those first few pages, I could see
where what Mark had so jeeringly
predicted would come true. The Es-
sex name would gain new luster
and become known where the eH-
PLOTS of a ships captain would re-
ceive but passing notice.
When he left me to my tipping,
I couldn't strike the keys fast
enough, so eager was to trans
scribe his words. This brain child
of my employers was something
in which I might take pride for my
own share of the work.
A neat pile of sheets was ready
to show them, at four o'clock, the
entire family trooped into the Ii

expression, as the captains voice
gave the order, Nov, Jabez, bring
down the sea chests from the little
attic"
Eyes, sir. Will you give me the

The captain scanned the unen-

his waistcoat. Shakily he detached
one key and passed it to the house
man.
