BY PAUL DAVID PRESTON

THE STORY: Nancy Hale is running Blythe Miller's happiness. And Nancy's g. year old son, Scooter, has all but ruined foot ball game for the Lincoln Field cadet pilots team. Nancy. a pretty young widow, seems to have cap tivated Duane Hogan, cadet foot ball star whom Blythe loves. And Scooter upset Duane, on the way to 8 touchdown in a scoreless game, by running out on the field and causing Duane to fall in avoiding him. The cadets win the game through the generous act 0s cOncelted Quarterback Norman Dana, who grabs the ball, fools the opposition, and then passes it to Duane for another try. This sends his stock up only slightly with Blythe, whom he wants to marry.

 She supposed he could have. Phi losophers like Markham were, she conceded, far above her; almost di- vine. She herself felt human and little and narrow; she, Blythe Mill Ter, wanted to do what the gashouSe jennies would have done-jump on her rival and scratch out her eyes But-no.
 Her attention skipped over to a longer poem by one Hugh c. Cave. and the last stanza read:

 That simple quatrain suddenly frightened her. No pathway back again!

It had been Duane who lifted Nancy out of the wrecked coupe that night in the storm. It had been Duane who captiyated baby Scooter, who gave him the puppy, who almost single handed had remodeled the loft apartment in which Nancy and baby and puppy now lived.

Nancy certainly is beautiful. Nancy certainly is beautiful.
 That sentence, uttered in the theater by Norman Dana, kept moving through Blythe Miller'S mind. Norman had to be back at Lincoln Field on duty at p. m, so he had been forced to leave her rather hurriedly downtown.

 She slipped in a place called the Ships Anchor and ate shrimp cocktail and salad and ham patties for Sunday supper; then because she would almost surely be recog- nized here soon if she fingered. she dipped back out again. Two blocks up she found a branch library open.
 A library Is a perfect place to think, she reminded herself. You can always pretend you are read- ing. A sign said she had until 9 Ws &us UEACs HAAA bAASAS WGAVA many other patrons. Presently she found 1t all very cozy and warm and nice. Street sounds were 8 faint, far-off, audible memory: calmly now she could lay her own thoughts and problems on the big eek table and inspect them. The hook she held had come from a nearby shelf labeled Essays and Roems: Miscellany" She read one fidbik:

cepted version concerns q Col. M. 8.
Beach, q pioneer Coloradoan, and q
Kansas City attorney named Rufus
Gable, who were riding through the
Garden In August, 1859.
At that time there were no roads
through the Garden; indeed, 1t had
hardly been explored by white men.
Seeing that his friend was literally
gasping at the magnificent sights
Of the place, Col. Beach asked mis-
chievously:
Don't you think this would be
. great place for . metropolitan
beer garden?"
How you talk. colonel" Mr..
Gable replied Indignantly. why,
this is fit place for q Garden of the
Gods" The story circulated around
the bars at Colorado City and
Cripple Greek, and thus the Garden
got its name.
The Garden Of the Gods was q
part of the public domain until
1879, when it became part Of the
property Of an Eastern railroad
man, Charles E. Perkins. Mr..
Perkins intended building a sum-
mer home on it, but when he per-
sonally examined the magniflcence
of the garden, decided. that no
buildings of man should destroy
the beauty of Gods work. His chill
dren gave the property to the city
of Colorado Springs in the early
part Of the Goth century. and 1t Is
now a part Of the municipal park
system.
