With a voice like yours . . . why, in camp the fellows would get a great kick out of your singing.” There was a thoughtful look on Fay's face. Michael continued, “Why don’t you organize a concert party, get the Legion to sponsor you?” Fay turned to him eagerly. “That IS an idea! I could speak to my father about it. | He wants me. to

I know now what I want from life. It isn't that kind of thing.” Michael gazed down at the water rushing between tne narrow ledge at his feet. “What kind of thing do you want?” “Just what any girl wants eventually, I suppose.”

AT THIS MOMENT Myra and Baldy hove into sight. There was a gasp of astonishment and concern from the two seated on the ledge and a burst of laughter from Ferdy. For Myra and Baldy had set out from the wharf in the red canoe to rescue tne drifting blue canoe, overestimating their joint skill, What skill Myra had Baldy canceled, and before they knew it they were in the stream at the end of the lake, unaware of the race that led to the fall. In the first moment that the three below saw them they were hanging on, scared out of their wits by their predicament and expecting something like death or mutilation on the rocks below the falls. But the falls were harmless, more like an exaggerated .'watershoot.

There was a split second when the bow of the canoe poised in air and then canoe and both occupants shot over the edge and plunged into the deep pool below. There was a spectacular splash, then the canoe bobbing overturned to the surface and a spluttering pair yelling in unison for help. Michael and Fay dashed for them and both dived at the same time. A moment later Fay hauled Myra to the ledge and Michael hoisted Baldy out by the scruff off his neck. Ferdy had taken everything very casually. “This is my favorite swimming hole,” said Ferdy. ‘Myra and Baldy glared at him. (To Be Continued)
