Fe rce ptibly Nervous
We climbed onto it when we had
tired of swimming and sat. wet
and cool and ’ contented, swinging t
dur legs over the shallow water
that lapped at the. weatherbeaten
hull and sampling the contents of
the big thermos bottles. .
It was still daylight though the
sur. had gone down behind us and
a big moon had ballooned up out
of the lake and was already high
in the sky. A heavenly sense of
' well being came over me., Even
the two strange little men beside
me seemed expressly provided for
mv amusement.'
I don’t know why the chaplain
had let himself get so near to me.
It must have been an oversight,
for he was still perceptibly nerv-
ous in my company. He ad-
fact, glowered; or at least 1
thought so at the. time. He was so
somber, normally that it was diffi-
cult to tell when he was actually
displeased. He peeled off his sweat
shi r t, rolled it into a tight ball,
tossed it On the sand and marched
deliberately into the lake. I should
not have been surprised to see him
wade out until his head was im-
mersed. but he jackknifed sud-
denly ana reappeared swimming
with vicious strokes that seemed to
reach for and cultch the far hori-
zon.
I thought for a moment that
Julia was going to follow him but
with an effort that was obvious to
me, at least, she turned her back
to the lake and began rearranging
the baskets and bottles which we'
had unloaded from the cars.
"Go on and swim," she said to
all offers of assistance. "We won’t
eat for a long, time yet, and I’d
advise everyone to swim before
they start eating. We don’t want
. any casualties . . .”
We had penetrated deep into the
reservation for this party. Like the
mossy old joke, we had turned in

"the hut” on the property of the
State Training School for Girls,
east of the city.
On this 160-acre tract of land,
are some 10 or 12 buildings, most
of them imposing brick structures,
and the plant is valued at more
than $275,000.

"Come for a drive,” she begged,
so I got in beside her.
The car was a Chrysler con-

open- and burning the wind. My
hair would be in a thousand snarls,
but I did not protest, knowing that
she was running away from the
thought of Jeff.
"This is Mimi’s car," she said
presently, “pan gave it to her
when we first fame here. I can •
usually have it in the daytime.
Mimi’s moody. Dan goes out’ two
or three nights a week to some

ventured.
"Who is?”
She uttered a mirthless laugh.
"Which reminds me, were rev-

“Swear not,by the moon, th’ in-

THE PRIMARY CAMPAIGN
IXTE MAY expect the campaign for governor to
VV maintain a fairly high peak of interest since
W. Lee O’Daniel’s address at Waco this week.
As the man to be beaten for the position; he has
pitched the plane of the campaign. It is too early
to gain any conclusive indications as to the other
man in the second primary, but greet interest at-
taches to three others for one reason or another.
Ernest Thpmpson, second man in the race be-
fore. isAthe most active of the gioup and claims
attention by reason of his advocacy of a natural
resources tax and opposition to the sales tax in-
cidentally. he alo favors raising the truck load
limit, an important issue with a large number of
voters. He was a colonel in the last world war
and that may have some influence in this day and
time.

mission with Thompson, but at odds with him on
policies, surprised everybody by being elected to
that office. A strength similar to that of 1938 is

in his campaign. Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson is the
other member of the quartet. Her strength is dif-

of previous appeal to the voters. Harry Hines,
highway commissioner, is making a strenuous
campaign. He may pull a surprise and step ahead
but his campaign methods do not carry the punch
of either of the quartet mentioned. Arlen B. Da-
