THE HAPPY scourMAsTER

The National council of the Boy
Scouts of America, at its eleventh an
nual meeting, held in New York City
a short time ago, adopted a resolution
expressing heartfelt appreciation of the
loyal and self-sacrificing service of the
volunteer workers in the movement,
throughout the nation. This is rec
ognition due from all of US who have
sons or who are interested in the well
fare Of boys, all of us, who understand
that what our youth is being taught
today, will determine what our Ameri-
ca will be tomorrow.
In an article in a recent issue of
scouting appears this fine commentary
on the happy scoutmaster who wall
antly serves his country in time of
peace. Placing duties above rights,
service above self, he fares forth to
win for his country the heart of youth,
the hope of the world
1.-The happy scoutmaster perceives
that what makes his efforts worth
while is not only that through whole
some play he may save boy from the
error of his way, but also that life
being real and earnest and practical
a boy must learn to labor. and it is
the happy scoutmaster who kindles
within the heart Of youth the fires of
ambition-passion to make the most of
himself, the will to work, to serve his
country and to honor and reverence
his God.
THE happy scoutmaster finds the
motive power of his own life in the
scout oath and law and counts thar
day lost wherein no good turn is done.
Nobly inspired, his boys follow the
same vision splendid and like knights
of old find the Holy Grail in helping
other people at all times. He is, in
deed, the happy scoutmaster; when so
prepared he wins the confidence of the
boy and offers opportunity for youth
to prove how gloriously 1t will do the
right wherever there is such a man
to lead.
MANY serve their country valiantly.
Some have lived, and given much; 9TH
ers have died, and given all. But
who more than the happy scoutmaster
for his country's sake lays down his
life? Having one life to give to his
country, he gives 1t freely that youth
may be served
While others concern themselves
with seeming weightier matters. the
happy scoutmaster lays foundations
that make safe the future building Of
democracy"

HAS MANY IMPORTED TREES
No Other Country In the World Said
to Possess Such Variety az
Does England.

The Portuguese boast of their forest
at Basaco, where there are over two
hundred kinds OF imported trees in full
and gigantic growth. But there Is nc
other country in the whole world
where SO many varieties of imported
trees flourish as In the British fsles
and Kew has specimens Of nearly all
OF them. Not only original, or. rather.
natural varieties are to be seen at
Kew, but others which owe their being
to the cunning of man. The latter are
graft-hybrids Of extraordinary interest.
In the year 1926 French gardener
grated purple-flowered cytfsus on a
laDurnum stock. A branch developed,
which produced flowers intermediate
between the stock and the scion. You
can see specimen of this hybrid
among the laburnums. 1t bears not
only the hybrid flowers but also flow
ers and leaves characteristic of both
its parents. The Laburnum Adami Is
Its name. In another case union be
tween the common thorn and the
medlar has produced a similar strange
result. Three separate types Of
branch, flower, and fruit are to be
seen on the same bush. Montreal

again they disappear entirely. Astron.

Inc swing and spring Of a master Of

In his pocket a telegram addressed to
a man with name at last, to David
Wun Warbritton. The telegram told
OF two fortunes awaiting down the
river, OF houses and lands, and advis-
Ing that Judge Eskridge was on his
way.
Near the turn of the path he STONED

thrush was charming the silence. ONLY

Upon the fiat rock at the pool stood
the Wild Rose. the tears running down
her face, her lips and throat alive with
the magic Of song. A lady cardinal
perched upon her shoulder. A king
cardinal fidgeted and twitched his crest
on an overhanging twig that almost
brushed her hair. A pair of shy
thrushes f1uttered and fitted in reach
OF her hand. Other birds walked mn
and down nearby branches, or darted
down for hurried peck at the crumbs
she had scattered over the rock.
The tears drowned the blue: the
song ceased. The birds fluttered AWAY
one by one. The girl bowed her head
and stood with clasped hands, gazing
down at the quiet water.
The mans step reused her. She
turned, and her hands unclasped as If
to reach toward him-but Instantly
clasped themselves again. He turned
from the path. stepped out on the rock
and came to her side. A moment her
eyes met his, and then went back to

CHAPTER XIV.

The Song Of q Thrush.
Twentieth Of June, and the world at
high tide; the woods full Of cradles,
and each cradle housing a lusty baby ;

and claw. Streams and woodland
pools grow languid with millions mat

mum Of lung expansion. The trees
down seriously to the business Of full
filling its promises. Cocoon and chrys-
alis have opened and flung forth their
glittering mysteries. Furnished bodies
and gauzy wings glance and glitter
through yellow sunshine and soft
shade. like flakes Of star dust sitting
down out Of the sky.
But II the woods have many cradles,
they also have many graves. There
was new one this placid June evening
at Fallen Rock-a new one beside the
one that was almost new. There were
orchids upon them both. A man and
a maid had together hunted the woods
for them. Only such as they could
have found so many. Only to her fav-
or1tes does nature show the way to her
treasures.
The stanch old Boss and hard-faced
Bull Masterson were back at their
vats and clam rakes. Billy's grand
mother was staying at the cabin Of
the three gables few days for com
pany.
The Pearlhunter came from the W.
lage in the still evening. Along the
dim. slim path through the woods he
came, against the face Of the sunset.

FIRST TRIPLE PLAY.

hero Of triple play, first Of

against the Phillies, Wrightstone
and Miller were on first and
second bases, Jack Miller Of
New Jersey and elsewhere lined
the ball to Altrock. Nick, play
ing first, grabbed 1t with one
hand, touched first and threw
to second for the third out. All
that the Phillies could say was
that when Altrock began to
