been talking of boys games, the health
full amusementS and exercises of youth,
which fit US for the serious business Of
the world. Do you really fancy that
following an army and living on horse
meat and sleeping in six inches of dirty
water in the bottom Of an abandoned
trench constitute a great achievement
that is worth while in itself? My dear
boy, have outgrown such things. l
have done them in the past, and they
benefited me as much as football, per-
haps little more. 1t remains for me
now that you have brought these early

all around us, and 1 stand armed in the
thick of it. 1 have dropped my pen
and taken up the sword while you and

'T mean that the first duty Of every
man is to the woman he loves; that all
the labors Of his youth are merely prep
aration; that he endures hardships and
sees battles and fights them If the
chance comes for no other worthy pur-
pose than to learn how to fight for her.
And 1 haven't done it. 1 have been
looking on and jotting down notes that
call stories. I'm through with it. To

high and holy task before me now, and
