ginning. II she had only known him
longer! She might have, il she had
stayed in Tulsa, for Arthur had lived
there several years before she met
him. But her aunt and uncle had
deprived her of those years by send
ing her away to school, though of
course they had not known they were
depriving her of anything and she
had not known il either. She liked
going to school much better than
staying at home with them, for even
in her early childhood she had COM
pretended that though they had a
strong sense of duty they really did
not know what to do with her. After
fifteen years of childless marriage
they had hardly been prepared to
welcome an orphaned baby left on
their hands. Luckily her fathers life
insurance prevented her being a
financial burden. So they provided
her with competent nurse until she
vas old enough to 60 to boarding
'sool and in the summers there
were always camps and other SUI
pervised vacations. It had all
seemed a matter of course to her
until the summer after her first
year at college. She was spending
few weeks with her uncle and aunt
before the date of an educational
trip to Canada with a group of col
lege girls, and one day she went to
swim at the country club and met
Arthur.
She went swimming alone, expect
ing that she would meet some ac-
quaintance at the club, which was
always full of people on Saturday
afternoons. She was practicing
swan dive; she had already gone
through it several times, but she
liked to repeat it-standing poised in
the sun high above the green stretch
of water, the spring, the swift
plunge down through the rush of air
with her arms out like wings, and
then at the right split-second bring
ing her arms together TO cut the wa
ter and feeling it close around her,
cold on her hot skin, and then up
again into the warmth and bright
ness, so vigorou- that she felt like
crying out, I'm alive, alive, and I
love it!'
She went down into the water
again and came up, pausing an in
slant to shake the drops out of her
eyes before she struck out for the
edge of the pool. Her face half sub
merged, she swan quickly AS her
fingertips touched the edge she lifted
her head and laughed from sheer JOY
of being healthy. She was not look
ing at anything when she put out
her hand to raise herself out of the
water, and was astonished and for
an instant embarrassed to feel her
fingertips closing on somebody's leg.
Elizabeth started back, about to
make an apology. But before she
could speak the young man had

clubs old library had been virtually
untouched by war, but it was hard
to concentrate on books. The estate
of captivity simply saturated. an
Americans system, driving out al
most all other thoughts and coloring
such thoughts as do come through
the dismal realization that you are
Gagged.
One day near the end of the last
organized resistance in the Philip

street outside the University Club.
Beebe and I rushed to our window
on the second floor and there below
us we saw long column of ragged
Americans trudging down Dewey

Corregidor Men March BY.

men. They were the men of Cor
regidor being marched through the
streets in their wretched condition
to prove to the silent thousands of
natives lining the street that the
Jap conquerors were superior in
every way.
1t was heart breaking spectacle,
this strange review of my troops. 1
learned that they were being led to
Bilibid Prison, where the Americans
were separated from the Filipinos
and sent to Cabanatuan while the
Filipinos went to O'Donnell.
Among the marchers, with his
chin in the air, was Chaplain John
K. Borneman, a valiant soldier of
God and the United States. Col
Borneman was to report to me later
that he had to witness IL murders
of American Army officers at Caba-
natuan, II murders which followed
sadistic beatings lasting "A hours.
Col. Borneman also reported to
me that another chaplain, Col. AL
fred c. Oliver, was beaten pitilessly
for days. They broke Col. divers

survived. He must go through the
rest of his life with his head trussed
in ashigh leather collar.
