Ernest Thompson Seton, the naturalist and who tol
years was head Of the Boy Scouts of America has been
retired from that position and for some reason the news
was kept secret until recently The action was taken at
the annual meeting Of the executive board February
H. and it was not until the 22nd that the fact became
known through newspaper reports that have since been
verified 1t appears that the principal objection to Mr.
Seton so far as any official declaration could be procured
was that he was British subject There may be other
reasons but that is sufficient The Boy Scouts in TINS
country is an American organization and whatever crit
csm may be offered to the movement all will agree that
it is to continue it should be headed by American c
zen and not by holding allegiance to any foreign flag

discovered that the amount of fuel
consumed in heating the irons made
a perceptible difference to him-that
his niece would eventually drive him
to the poorhouse with her extrava-
gance.
While Clara was being curtailed in
the matter of fresh shirtwaists her
cousins were dreaming by night and
talking by day of the dancing frocks
they would wear at the approaching
college junior ball.
Il wonder why cannot go to the
dance, too?' Clara asked her cousins.
Clara had way of saying what she
thought, regardless of the probable
outcome. Then she went on, before
her cousins could explain:
"If you are going to say it is be-
cause / am not as pretty as you are,
you needn't waste your breath. For l
am pretty. An old lady who came into
the store the other day told me l was,
and some of the students have said
nice things to me. So there!"
Maybe you are pretty" admitted
the cousins, but you haven't anything
to wear, have you? You don't think
you could go in your serge every
day dress, do you?"
1t was this speech that started Clara
thinking and started the train of
events which have brought her to her
present position.
Bought New Pink Gown.
She thought all day about it, and
at night when she was trying to sleep
she decided to take the money she had
saved from Christmas presents and
make a dress which would be appro-
pirate for the ball. Accordingly, the
next time she went to the city to
buy flowers for her uncle she made
a tour of the fashionable shops, and
came to the conclusion that her gown
should be made of pink with gold
spangles.
She wasted no time, but bought the
pink satin, a paper pattern and a
thousand tin spangles. Then at night
instead of reading stolen textbooks,
Clara devoted her time to fashioning
that pink party dress, and after that
to sewing the spangles on till she
could keep her eyes open no longer
The dress was finished in a couple OF
weeks, and for few foolish moments
she imagined that the question of go
ing to the college dance was settled
She tried the dress on and paraded
before her mirror and convinced her
self that her resplendent gown would
be an attraction to any student. She

Mobray recognized him. Somehow.
Jasper's face had fingered through all
the panorama of war in Mobray's
memory. The spy of that night had
risen to be a colonel. Now, the war

when the ragged figure appeared at

South.
Mobray was struck by a great pity
