mobile touring may be doing for the 
adults of the country, it does the chil-

time when youth is full of curiosity— 
and when travel answers the child’s 
insatiable curiosity for useful and 
varied information.

Doc was a funny duck; his’ only 
claim to the title Dr. was his father’s 
method of becoming a millionaire. He 
was studying aeronautical engineering 
at N. Y. U. when he wasn’t debating 
politics with the bunch at the boat- 
house, playing chess or figuring out 
how he could irrigate the Sahara and 
sell farm lands. He was a bird of few 
words, but sometimes they had the logic 
of one of his tricky chess moves. A

A cold puff of wind drifted up from 
the lake, stirred the gray fringe of fluff 
from the coals, sent it swirling and 
whispering off into the aspens. The 
camp was cold; Cleve was sprawled out

many mounds of wool blankets, were 
the six sleepers.
