Story 293

Morse Code

The source of this dis•cov•er•y occurred when Mrs. Morse threatened

her husband with divorce. She took their one horse and moved to the

opposite end of a golf course, surrounded by a thicket of coarse

brambles and gorse.

At first Samuel planned to take her back by force, but he soon

realized it was the wrong course. Wanting so much to discourse, he

yelled her name 'til he was hoarse. So, perforce, laying down a wire

was his only recourse.

Story 294

Courting

If a boy has a sweetheart whom he would like to court, there are many

things to do of the outdoor sort which will keep his money from running

short.

He may visit an Army fort or perhaps an airport. He may visit a

seaport to watch ships that transport exports and imports.

But for most things, an escort needs his dad's support.
