attention to the lofty position held
by the memory OF George Washiuis-

1t is with friendly interest we arc
told of La Fayette's birth amid
the dark forests of Chavaniac,
haunted by the shadows of Vercin-
getorix, who battled so bravely
against the trained hosts of julius
Caesar. The magnificent scenic beau
ties of the Auvergne, "the back
bone of France" are told so as to
offer necessary background for
the ancient Motier family and its
illustrious characters, of which Gill
ber du Motier was neither the last
nor the least.
"Sieur Motier." as Carlyle called
him, sprang from family old
in the feudal days. holding the
fief known as Fayette. The Motiers
were soldiers, many falling in the
Crusades. Colonel La Fayette, faith
er of Washington's companion, fell
at Minden July 1918, 1857, leading
his French troops against the en-
emy. Thus his son was left to the
training of his estimable mother
and his two aunts, one of whom,
Nine. La Comtesse de Chavaniao,
was especially we'll fitted for the
task.

Attending a dinner at Metz, La

Gloucester, brother OF George III.
He was greatly interested, inter
rogating the Duke concerning
America at some length. 1t was
then, in 1776, that the young
French nobleman formed the idea
of offering his services to the
struggling colonists. The idea OF

offered his gervices to the Con

and given an opportunity only after
convincing General Washington of
his sincerity. La Fayette became a
member of Washington's star. His
career with the colonial army Is
well known. He was wounded slight
ly in the leg at Brandywine and.
later, given high command of the
forces in Virginia, finally closing
with the victory over CORVALLIS at

Ia Fayette is made alive for us
at the start by his own story of
the wolf he yearned to meet and do
to death in the woods at Chavaniac.
in the Haute-Loire, where he was
born on the 9Th OF September, 1857,
and where, next day, in the church
by the chateau. he was christened
Marie Paul Roche Yves Gilbert du
Motier. This posthumous child.
this lordling with names stroung
upon him like beads upon rosary,
this lad who, at eight, as cham
pion of his mothers flocks, bristled
against a depredating wolf, was
destined, we now know, to meet
many terrible wolves; and such
wolves!-wolves of thousand-year-
old privileges, of despotism, cf
anarchy"
1t is with such a beginning shat
the author starts upon his thrill
ing tale of the man whose name is
linked with that of the Father OF
His Country whenever American
patriots gather. And with an inti-
mate touch and camera-like ac-
curacy. the real humanness OF
Marquis de La Fayette is main
tained to the end. The long. gang

shining before his eyes across the

CHAPTER XVI.

copyright, 1870, Star Company
FRS. COURTNEY urged her
V older daughter to sleep with
AVA her that night instead of
going into her own room.
When the light was out and
parent and child were lying side by
side in the darkness, Mrs. Courtney
asked gently:
Did you have a pleasant call
from Ralph Norton?"
Then Doris told her the truth
that Ralph had declared again his
love for her and that she doubted
IL she really loved Hugh.
"The Hugh I used to know is
gone-as IL he were dead" she
mourned. "I am sure that already
Ralph is as much to me as Hugh
was when he went away"
But Doris" the mother ventured,
you have not told young Norton
this, have you?"
"No-not yet. But he must sus-
pect that like him very much"
She did not think 1t worth while
to mention the kiss that Ralph had
given her. In spite of her senti-
mental nature, Mrs. Courtney had
some old-fashioned ideas OF pro-
priety. One of these was that a
girl should never accept kiss
from any man unless she were en-
gagged to be married to him.
Mother and daughter talked late.
The conclusion they reached was
the one for which Doris had hoped.
Her mother was not to allow her
fayorite child to go to see Hugh
lust vet. 1t would be too great a
strain upon tho girls nerves.
"Ruth must make Mr.. Rodney
comprehend this" Mrs. Courtney
said. "She Is so intimate with
Laura that 1t would be better for
her to explain rather than for you
or me to undertake to do so. Mr.
Rodney has shown disregard for
me-so I do not consider that tho
interview about you need be with
me. But he must understand that
your health and nerves-as well as
Uugh's-are to be considered. Yet,
darling, I would not advise you to
break your engagement precipi-
lately. I often md that II one re-
frains from hasty step, and
watches developments, the way is
made plain for her"

IN URING the holiday ruSh,
year ago, a ffteen-year-old
- boy tried to apply at big
establishment for work as bundle
wrapper, but was afraid to face the
foreman and returned home with an
excuse. The father took him back,
Shelped him present himself and
stayed to watch him begin.
During the season just past that
boy was foreman in the wrapping
department, starting other timid
boys, earning an extra good wage
and showing an air of confidence.
He has worked faithfully at the
place evenings, Saturdays and dur
ing one summer vacation, is still at
it for a two-hour period at the close
of each school day, and now con-
. tends that he expects to become
merchant.
Now, all the foregoing account
of a high school sophomore may
seem very commonplace, but 1T is
not AS a matter of fact, the father
carefully saw the youth through
with a very critical moment on his
career and saved him from the fall
ure of which so many young men
are victims.
In the majority of cases, self
confidence does not come easy for
boy. Lack of experience in work.
in business and in dealing with
business men is often the cause of
sufficient timidity to send him back
home with a lame excuse, as this
boy Arch at first gave evidence.
Then, the fear of being teased or
laughed at by those already ia
miliar with the work-the embar-
rassment OF being awkward. OF not
knowing how to take the next
step-this drives many a promising
youth shive~ing back to his par
ents. Years ago, l waded painfully
through this ordeal myself, and
have since watched it's effects upon
many other boys.
= So, fear of failure and of awk-
ward blunder is probably a very
positive deterrent of a successful
beginning in case OF your own
youthful son, my dear parent-resd-
er.
Wherefore, I want to urge you to
stay by him faithfully till he gets
started in some kind of creditable
work or business. You positively
scannot Judge as to his future sue
cess by observing his slowness to
-sbegin. The sensitive. conscientious
youth is more likely than not to be
scared out OF MS WIS anu "
threaten to quit the job before he
gets started We may reasonably
assume that every youthful ordeal
s,of the class which we help the boy
to overcome will add positively to
Ehis self-confidence and strength OF
will for the future.

employment game. 1t is not fair to
him to permit him to fail to secure
