Bit father, a retired army officer, refuses to give him one until bis school grades Improve and be learns to take responsibility. Kens mother tries to protect him from the stern discipline of his father and the yonthfol bullying of his older brother, Howard, who always manages to do things right. Captain McLaughlin has received a letter from Kens school ad Vising him that Ken has not been promoted. So, while the others prepare to round np the mares and colts, Ken has to stay In the house and study. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER H When Ken left the kitchen the alarm clock on the wall shelf beside the spice closet pointed to twenty minutes to nine. He wondered If he should time himself right from then or from the moment he went Into his room, or from when he set his books on the table. This was a very Important point, but as he could not decide, he went upstairs as slowly as he could, just in case It was all part of the hour. He paused on the landing in front of the picture of the duck; If he stood there looking at the duck picture he could get into another world. He knew how to do it. To get Into another world you had to make yourself the same size, in your mind. But he felt misgivings, standing there. His mother would hear, from the kitchen, that he hadnt gone all the way upstairs. He went on up, down the hall, into his room, and noisily closed the door. Possibly she would time him too. He stood a few moments looking around. He and Howard each had a small room to himself. Ken loved his room. The walls were and there was a big window opening out front over the terrace and the Green. He could see everything from it Sunshine " poured in. Best of all, Ken loved his little walnut bed, because that was really home. It wasnt very tidy. He and Howard had to make their own beds, and he had made his in a hurry, before he went out riding. Now would be a good time to straighten It up. That was a good dutiful deed about as good as studying it probably could be counted in the hour. The quilt which was light green with sprigs of pink and blue flowers on it, was crooked and humped over the bedclothes under neath. He threw it back, then paused, his eyes on the wall at the head of the bed. There were these pictures one on about eight inches each side square, with a flat wooden frame an inch wide. And inside the frame He dropped the quilt moved up to one picture and stood minutely examining it What people! Peasant people, his mother had told him, probably Swiss. Down at the end of his room was the strangest picture of alL Ken went to look at it There was a verse written in the comer which he knew by heart Intreat me not to leave thee. Nor to return from following after thee. For whither thou goest I will go. And where thou lodgest I will lodge." It was a picture of a desert land. And a man stood as if waiting to go, looking at the maiden for whom be was waiting. But she had run back to throw her arms around a woman, and there they stood, arms about each other. And the verse in the corner was what she was saying. They were dressed in long, draped, brightly colored shawls. He Jumped and "Intreat me ran back to the bed when he heard quick steps across the kitchen floor below. Outside the kitchen door his mothers voice called, "Here, Kim Here, Chaps This time he really finished the bed and smoothed the quilt. It looked very nice. He stood regarding it, thinking that now he must take down his books. Resolutely he picked out his arithmetic book, sat down, opened it and began to think. Suddenly Ken heard the sound of horses coming near the house and started up so quickly that the leg of his chair tangled with the leg of the table and he went sprawling on the floor, then scrambled up and Over to the window. Ken leaned out the window as far as he could to see the last of them as they went down the Green, Just and disappeared around the end of the house Ken! Nells voice came floating up from the open window below. .What are you doing? He scurried back to the table and made it true before he answered, "Im doing my arithmetic. "What was that crash? "My chair fell over. "What made it fall over? "It just fell over Nothing more from Nell, and Ken summoned all his energy and fiuwned at his open book. He must make a plan. He would do cancellation over. He liked cancellation. It was fun crossing out the figures above and below the line and turning everything into nothing. white-washe- g, He hunted for his pad, opened all the drawers, and found it Then he hard Nell coming up the stairs, and she opened his door. She had '' some fresh bureau scarves over her arm, and came in briskly and went to his chiffonier to change the scarf. "I was thinking, Ken, it would be a good idea if you spent your study hour on that composition. "The. composition ? "Yes, the one you didnt write. If you write it nicely we could send it to Mr. Gibson and tell him how it was you came not to write anything that you were thinking about it and he might let you have some credit for it. The one about the Albino, said Ken, and his eyes went thoughtfully to the window. "How would I begin it? "Have you got paper there? "Yes. "Well, just pretend youre telling someone about it someone who doesn't know. Me, for instance. Perhaps Ive forgotten. Who was the Albino, anyway? Ken grinned, and said, "A big white stallion just a bronc who came over the border from Montana when they had a drouth there. Dad called him a big ugly devil but a lotta horse "Thats fine, encouraged Nell. "And what did he do? Ken sighed deeply, and wrote, "The Story of Gypsy," carefully at the top of the paper.

Hed find a good place and hide so his father wouldnt see him. He trotted along in the irrigation ditch. It was dry because the water hadnt been turned in yet This way he would avoid the road and the gates. Howard might be stationed at any one of the gates. He left the ditch and climbed up a hilL From here he could see Gus and Tim working in the ditch in the Crooked Meadow and could hear their voices. Tim was swinging a pick; the sound of the blow reached him after he saw the pick land. And a mile or more away he could see Castle Rock, the great beetling rock, jutting up seventy feet high, with peaks 'and parapets and turrets shaped like a castle. It overhung the aspen grove at the far end of the meadow. That was where they were, down there near the rock. His father was rounding up the mares with their foals, getting them out of the woods, bringing them back through the meadow slowly. He never ran them. Ken ran down the hill and headed for the big rock. He ran as far as he could and then stopped to get his wind again and make a calculation. From where he was now, on the grazing land which sloped down to the barbed wire fence around the meadow, he could see the wide gate open and fastened back. That was so the mares could come through up to where he was. There was a sort of road here, and the mares would follow it naturally and stay right on It. If he could hide somewhere near here, where he could keep his eye on the gate, hed see them pass quite close. He looked about for shelter. Here and there was a jagged outcropping of the pink granite which underlay the soil, here and there a small clump of wild currant bushes. He drew back behind the bush and lay down and suddenly felt very tired and very happy. The report card and the saddle blanket and Shoulder Gun or the Cost of One Buy United States War Bonds .
