JANE ALLEN: RIGHT GUARD CHAPTER I DAY DREAMS
"Come out of your day dream, Janie, and guess what I have for you." Hands behind him, Henry Allen stood looking amusedly down at his
daughter. Stretched full length in a gaily striped hammock swung between two great
trees, her gray eyes dreamily turned toward the distant mountain peaks,
Jane Allen had not heard her father's noiseless approach over the
closely clipped green lawn. At sound of his voice, she bobbed up from the hammock with an alacrity

bench." Slipping her arm within her father's, Jane gently towed him to a quaint

his broad shoulder. "Well, girl of mine, what is it? You're not going to tell me, I hope,
that you don't want to go back to college." Henry Allen humorously referred to another sunlit morning over a year
