LITERARY could win if hc really tried but they weren't sure he would try. From the beginning Henderson had been ahead, with Tom ten paces behind. As Tom ran he felt a pain and cramp in his stomach, probably caused by eating forbidden candy that fore- noon, although he always argued that eating candy never would hurt him and if it did it would be his own loss. How hot it isv he thought as he followed Henderson around the track. He fell back still further. He heard howls of despair from the Hancock portion of the grandstands and shouts of satisfaction from thc lVlcAyne part. Then it came to him what school spirit really was, what it would mean to the school to win if he only was able. His stomach ache, the heat and the exertion forgotten, he lengthened his stride and his speed so quickly that it seemed to the crowd as if he had been standing still.

She sat, enjoy- ing to the last atom, her glorious exhilarating holiday. Oh, but it was wonderful to get away for a few days from the humdrum existence of every-day life with her son and his family. Not that Grandma didnlt think a great deal of Alice and the children, but their habits were so different from those she had practiced before Tom's marriage. The kiddies were reared so differently from hers-a time for this and a time for that. Somehow it didn't seem natural. Alice was good to her, of course, but Grandma didn't feel free. Besides, there never seemed to be any tasks for her to do, and it made her feel old, out of things. To escape this, for a time, she was running away, actually, at eighty-five years of age! She had left a note I7
