THE SCOUT MOVEMENT.

The monthly publication of the bu. reau of education. department of the interior, epitomizes in recent issue the work which the scout organization is attempting to carry out through It's boy training program. It says:
 'The scout movement makes no claim to supersede the work of home or school or church. On the contrary, 1t aims to supplement these institu- tions and to cooperate with them in in every practicable way in a sane, all-round development of American youth. Scouting has been described as the process of making real boys into real men by a real program that works. This program Is adapted to the boy's leisure hours, but it's prin- ciples are the kind that permeate ev- cry phase of his life, becoming part and parcel of himself. Character de velopment Is the keynote of scouting.
 ''He is a better son and brother. a more alert student, a heartfer adhers ent to the church of his utilization be- cause he is also a good scout. Later on he will be more responsible and valuable American citizen for his scout training now"

 'Oh, that would be lovely" cried Alice. "And we'll telegraph dear Mir. Terrence to come and bail us out"
 We reached Barton at nine o'clock and after an informal supper I list ened to Antoine's solemn reports as walked to the garage. The prisoner had made no sign, he said, and noth- ing had occurred during the day.
 "But there's this, Mir. Singleton, which you ought to know, sir. The old Tyringham people don't like the goings on here. You'll admit it's all mighty queer. I don't complain, sir. but some of the boys threaten to leave, sir. And look at 1t this way, that nobody understanding what the spying and bribes offered and taking prisoners is all about, is most pe- culiar.

 Nevertheless. the perfect eQuanimity of the gentleman in the tool house when visited him the next morning shook my faith a trifie in the story book features of life at Barton.

 'I have no complaint except that the guards snore outrageously. The poor old chaps will sleep, you know" ]"
 If you're so badly guarded. why don't you escape?" I asked tartly.
 sIt would relieve your mind a lot if I should disappear?' he asked in- sinuatingly.
