A Friend Indeed By EDMUND J. KIEFER IF you could find someone to chum with, who would afford you en- tertainment so genuine and varied that you could never tire of it; who would help you to be cheerful when the outlook was as dark as night; who would always be ready to come to you yet never bore you with ob- trusiveness; who would be patient and forgiving when you forgot your- self and lost your temper; who would be as loyal to you as one of your own kindred; who would give proof of love for you if need be by suffering death—if you could find just one com- panion like that in a life-time, do you think you could ever complain of loneliness?
