Tell me everything, and especially about Rod. You
see, I know him better than the rest."
"Will you come to see me again?" Whyn enquired.
"Yes, just as soon as I can. I want to spend several weeks here in
this lovely place. Then I shall be right near you, and find out all
about the scouts."
"Oh, how nice!" and Whyn clasped her hands together. "I shall look
forward to your coming. It will be something more to live for now."
All the people on the grounds crowded around the car as the singer
stepped on board. Rod was standing right by the door, watching her
face with great interest. How she longed to stoop, fold him in her
arms, kiss mm, and proclaim that he was her own boy. But, no, not now.
She must wait. Waving her hand to the crowd, she was borne swiftly
away, leaving the people with a great and new topic of conversation,
which would last them for many a day.

they had made. Great was their delight to learn that they had taken in
fifty dollars and seventy cents. It seemed too good to be true, and
the only way they could account for the large sum was the money
contributed by several men who had come in autos.
