1 accepted an ofTcr to dance in the biKgest revue in Oslo, and 'had a big success. The critics were good in all th papers except one. But the life on the stage among the chorus girm -was not to my taste an! finally I packed my trunks and with J40 in my. pocket went to Paris, without a single letter of introduction and not knowing- imyone ther I had promised my parents and my coach, Kreigsman. that I would be- in better form than ever when I came back.

I was glad to get away from Oslo, even though the life in Paris waa hard enough to start. r-had spent al! my money 'and lived three days without any food before I was able to sell my first article. After that everything went better for me there, and after a while I was training very fintensively. Besides writing a novel which had a good sale upon its publication a few r.fter my return to Oslo. Here in Paris the Norwegian ambassador's I met the e-irl who is now my wife.

She inspired me to tremendous efforts to jret in form again. She. believed in me. and in every letter received from her after she had returned to Norway she aRkd how high I had vaulted. I worked like a devil! Kvery day I decided I wanted to reach a certain heisrht and I did not stop till I had cleared the bar.

I would make up to 50 jumps a day. After two months I did 13.4, and when thii result was wired to Norway they lnoked upon me a little more kindly. My disqualification was pardoned, and I went home. At the first meet In 'which I competed I made 13.14. and right after that 24.fi in broad jump.

With these results behind me I went to Finland where I was received with the greatest friendliness and hospitality. It was the first time that I had been in Nurmi's country and in the native city of this great runner, and on the track where he has made so many of his wonderful records I made a new world's record in the pole vault. 13.11 13-16. I never attempted an- hiarier. From Finland I went back to Paris and won tne poie vaun at two meeia, and in training between these two meets I made 15 feet in the broad jump.
