Protege Of Captain Kyne on Sec

BALTIMORE, May 11.-Marcel Du-
puys, sixteen-yesr- French war
orphan and protege OF Peter b. Kyne.
California author and soldier, yester-
day faced immigration Commi ssioner
Stump as a stowaway. Marcel arrived
on the steamer Westwood from Leith.
II was the second time he had come
to America as a stowaway
That other time he had come over
on the Mstsonia, which brought the
Hath artillery to New York from
France in January, 1919. He had
slowed away in a bass drum and had
come from his hiding place when the
vessel was three days out of port.
Kyne. then captain of battery A,
Hath, adopted Marcel and took him
to his California home. But Marcel
tired OF the, uneventful life in the
sweeping California valley and sighed
for the little shell-torn villages tuck
ed down by the hills OF France.
He stole away from Kynes home
and obtained a position with a mo-
ton picture concern. He made enough
money to get to New York. thence to
France. But again in France, he
found the little French villages no
longer 10 mis- liking ana resolved to
make his way back to California and
Kyne.
All this and more he related to
Commissioner Stump. pleading that he
be held in Jail until the immigration
officials could get in touch with Kyne
and ascertain whether the latter
would again restore him to a place in
his household.
Marcel declared his father had been
killed in the French army and his
mother had been deported to Ger
many. For time he followed the
French army and then driEted over to
Captain Kyne and his American bat
terry. The deserted poilus made rep
reservations to the American to re-
turn the boy. but Captain Kyne OBJ
jected.
And so when the transport sailed
for New York with his" regiment.
Marcel crept into the bass drum.
There he stayed until driven out by
hunger. Struck by his devotion. Cap
tain Kyne adopted him and made him
one of his household.

THE TOP OF THE LADDER

Every individual who makes any
Roadway in his chosen field must
struggle against the current.
The fact that man is success
does not indicate he has never chanc-
ed to meet adverse conditions, but
that he has met and overcome them
numberless times and is always ready
for the combat.
The only people who do not en-
counter these difficulties in their
work are those who fail when they
reach them and drift along in the
tide with the debris.
We cannot train to overcome ad-
verse conditions by shying around
them if we could there wouldn't be
near as much room at the top of the
ladder.
