COLUMBUS A GENUINE SCOUT

Columbus was a sea scout. Without
having taken the scout oath, he never
theless observed all the twelve points
of the scout law.
He was trustworthy. Queen Isabel
la started him for America and he ar.

He was loyal. He offered his serv.
ices first to his own country. When
refused, he gave himself and his big
idea to Spain and was true to her.
Helpful, he did n of the greatest
good turns in history by opening the
eyes of Queen Isabella to possibilities
which she had never dreamed of.
Friendly, he treated the people OF
the new world generously.
Courteous, he impressed them with
his courtly n
Kind, he checked the ruder i'm
pulses of his rough sailors and Insist
ed upon fair play for all.
He was obedient. The orders of tht
Spanish sovereigns were obeyed.
Ouly cheerfulness of the highest or
der could have held his men through
their days of superstitious dread ant
nights of terror.
thrift prompted him to suggest tina
the discovery of the new world woult
mean untold wealth to Spain.
Without bravery he could never hav'
faced a journey which, in the thinking
of his time, led straight into the yawn
Ing Jaws of frightful monsters.
He must have been clean. An abuses
body and mind would never have sur
yived a week of his terrific strain.
Reverent, he thought out and car
ried out his voyage of discovery TO
the express purpose of carrying tn
Christian religion to souls who kney

themselves.
CHAPTER III-Stanway, with twenty
men, starts in pursuit of the rebels. They
meet ard Ramon Ran he I0rr Mns%an S OF

CHAPTER IV-Stanway loses the reb-
els trail and returns to the hacienda
Teresa shows him the copy of the new
will which she has found and which
leaves all the property to Tore.
CHAPTER Van emissary from the

the senor's rooms. Have her go there
with you. Let her see if anything is
missing. She win know; she has
cared for his rooms for twenty years.
Will you let me know, senior? Here
is the key"
A sudden hope leaned up into STAN
ways heart as his hand closed about
the old key, hope which in no way
could he explain. If this were the
key which unlocked the place where
the old master-yes, and the young
mistress had been hidden, what
then? He was as far as ever from
knowing where was the lock which
this key fitted. And yet Pedro's

was gone, walking swiftly through
the house, asking for the old serving

Tore did not speak, but, turning
away, made a cigarette, Captain Jul

his blanket aside and sat up on his

His voice was stern now, and rang

sure of himself, of his position.

There was bravado in the words
