already suffered much from his erring

he was going on a long sea trip, his
refusal to drag his family into the

exclusive circles OF London, while his
personality and good looks made him
popular and insca sought after. But
The San Francisco call., 1906-10-21

his popularity was rather his undoing,
for it led to his gambling and ineurring
large debts, while his membership in
a dozen of London's most fash
ionable clubs did not tend to
strengthen his morals. Yet mann
mas continued to consider him
an eligible party. and he continued to
be invited to all desirable drawing
rooms until one day his father brought
him up with firm hand and made him
face the havoc which his debts had
wrought. He was ordered to go forth
and do something for himself. for the
sculptor realized that he had erred
seriously in so indulging his idolized son.
But young Acton, while he had been
educated at Buckston College and the
usual intermediary schools, had h-sD
educated only in the art of being q gem
tleman and was entirely unprepared to
face the world and earn q living
from it.
Won Straps in the Boer War.
The declaration of war with the
Beers gave him his opportunity, and
he enlisted. At the front his superior
education and intrepidity won for him
recognition, and he was soon commits

fiict he evinced ability as leader and
showed marked courage On his re-
turn to London he was showered with
praise and restored TO the good graces
of his family and his old place as a
favorfte in society.
But the old habits soon manifested
themselves so forcibly that his father
was once more obliged to call him to
reckoning. and sent him to Canada to
try to make his way there. There the
Boer war hero and former clubman
found employment as a clerk for the
Canadian Pacific Railway. But cfer-
ical work proved irksonle to a man
who had been educated in the art OF
taking life easy and he gave up his
position and drifted about the country
