The hi!Ls you climbed in youth and vigor, the gloom-swept valleys that you trudged in later years, the story that you scanned so long ago, the song you heard that lives in memory­ they all come back. The splash within the center of the pool com.es tippling back to shore; the careless phrase becomes the Book of Life; the grace notes of the days of long ago resolve themselves into a haunting melody, the song of Youth, the anthem of the soul.

You tossed them out-thee months of vagabond enjoyment. And now! lust once again you find them whizzing past your ears-a growing thunder, the clamour of the past that knows no age or season-a Boomerang, whose faded hue fulminates from dwty gray to glow­ ing scarlet-and you are back again. They all come back! And YOU came back-and GO H! we're glad to ee you.
