have taken a vow to be
trustworthy."

Gladys flushed and hung her head, although Nyoda had made no
reference to her breaking of trust. Nyoda continued: "You, of
all the girls here, have need to be the most careful. You are
the least robust of them all, and enter into our sports with the
least vigor. Your racket stroke is weak and your paddle stroke
is weak, and exertion which does not affect the other girls at
all leaves you exhausted. That is a condition of which you
should be ashamed, inasmuch as you have no definite ailment.
'Hold on to Health' is only another form of 'Be trustworthy,' for
it means taking good care of the body which has been given into
our keeping. I know you never thought about it in just that way
and broke the rule because you saw no reason for it, not because
you have no sense of honor.

"And now about this candy you have on hand. I will ask you to
put it in the kitchen where it will keep dry and pass it around

A nature walk was on the program for the afternoon, but Gladys
feigned a headache and remained at home. "Somehow I don't feel
like going on a nature walk, either," said Sahwah, when they were
ready to start. This was so unusual from Sahwah, who was
generally enthusiastic about everything that was proposed, that
Nyoda looked at her in some anxiety.

"Don't you feel well, dear?" she asked.

"Yes, I feel perfectly well," said Sahwah. "That's the trouble.
I feel too well to go on a nature walk."

"Feel too well to go on a nature walk!" repeated Nyoda. "What do
you mean by that?"

"I don't know," said Sahwah. "I feel so full of--of something
that I'd like to wrestle with an elephant!"

Nyoda understood the feeling. She had watched Sahwah's growing
irritation all day long and knew that in her case the only relief
would be strenuo
