An engineer is driving his train
at fearful speed. There is danger
ahead, and within five minutes
there will be a wreck. A score of
funerals are inevitable, bat his need
not be one if he is willing to play
the coward. He is only ain ordinary
man and lite is as dear to him as to.
most of us. But he stands fast,
giving one agonized thought to the
dear ones at home, then comes the
crash and he is buried into eternity.
There are other instances not as
dramatic as these. In the houses
along the avenue and scattered
throughout the tenement district of
this city are men and women-God
only knows how many-who are
bearing gastly burdens for the sake
of others. They have dumb lips
and broken hearts. Like the Chew
aIier Bayard they were "loyal in
words and deeds" counting no sac
ritice too great for the benefit of
those they love. Their nights are
dark and their days are all nights.
But they have brave souls and per-
form their task in the firm belief. as
Bayard's mother said, that "God
will reward YOU"
Yes, the spirit of chivalry is still
extant. The fight in many quarters
is being fought against odds. and
the noblest knights and the most
gracious ladies that ever breathed
live within a stones throw Of us.
The past has no prouder record
than the present will show by and
by, and the world has never wit
messed braver deeds than those
done here and now.

ers of The Youths Companion: For

we'll known.
It's programme for next year
seems brighter than ever. Some of
the important stories are: 'The De-

Generals. Then there are articles
on Choosing an Occupation, Boys

Practical Training, Recreations of

Another pleasant feature is the
