In a hundred localities between
Eastport and San Diego the scene

Gated or will be duplicated during the
summer weeks, for there are nearly
half a million Boy Scouts in the
United States and every mothers son
OF them is counting on summer
camping trip. Unconsciously and in
directly the minds Of these half mil
lion boys are being directed and train
ed from a central Office perched high
up in a sky-seraper on Broadway. The
men who do the directing tell some
remarkable stories of the work being
done throughout the country. The
scout movement is a big and real
thing to the men who direct it from
the New York office building. and to
the lieutenants, who, in hundreds OF
cities, guide the half million boys in
their work and play. TO the boys, If
the word OF the directors is to be
taken, scouting" is real work. There
in lies the secret Of the growth of
the movement. The Boy Scouts are

GRAY EYES

He Preferred the Gray
BY CLARlSSA MACKIE

Their first meeting was the day he
was graduated from college. He had
delivered his orat ion in the morning,
and in the evening the president gave
the usual reception to the gradua ting
class. Agatha had been present at the
graduating exercises and had looked
upon the different aspirants for ora
torical h0nors without emotion till
Henry Fielding appeared. There was
something about this young man that
appealed to her. Was it his smooth.
resonant voice? Was it certain grace
impaired to his figure by the flowing
gown he wore? Was it the earnestness
with which he spoke upon subject
she did not understand? Whatever it
was she was thrilled by his very pres
ence. Within her was born desire to
possess him for herself alone.
In the evening at the presidents re-
ception he was presented to her. The

the young graduate with a seductive
power. Agatha was astonished at the
panic she felt within her. She had
seen him for the first day, and yet the
moment he approached another girl
she was in dread.
He must have been drawn to her as
she was drawn to him, for he took
steps to follow up the acquaintance. He
did not know it, but he never paid the
slightest attention to any other girl.

horrible sensation that she was about
to lose him. During four year course

came back to her and would have
dropped another kiss on her red lips,
but just then she turned her head. and
the caress fell on one little ear. The
doctor swung about and tramped
through the hall and out Of the door
without another word.
Agatha watched him through the lace
curtains as he cranked the little ma
chine and then sprang into his seat
without one backward glance or wave
Of the hand toward her. When the au-

pressed slender fingers across her beau

When DR.. Fielding returned three
hours later he had forgotten the little
incident of the afternoon, for Agatha's
jealousy had become such common
occurrence that her husband merely
nerved himself to endure it, thank
full when the mood had passed, as it
usually did when his wife's naturally
sweet and forgiving disposition righted
itself.
The most exasperating feature Of
