In an interview granted Inter

Russia was streaching her arm

When Japan saw that neighbor-

SCOUTS LOCATE STOLEN CAR.

The new plan whereby police re-
ports are sent broadcast by wireless
every evening had an immediate, in
teresting and worthwhile result. On
certain evening a large amount of
police data and reports were relayed
to the high power radio station of the
American Radio and Research cor
pOratiOn in Medford, Mass, and
hurled through the air in a 10O-miIe
radius for the information of some
5000 amateur operators. Among the
items reported were the number,
make, engine, etc, of a car which
had been stolen from Harvard square,
Cambridge, the day before. Among
the "listeners in was boy scout
named Barney, who wrote down the
details of the theft, for practice in re-
ceiving. The next day, walking along
the street in his home town, the lad
noticed a car standing deserted by the
roadside which was of the make Of
the stolen roadster. He made a quick,
mental note of the number and ran
home to compare it with his radio
notes. The two tailed and he at
once telephoned the police and the
car was restored to It's owner.

CHAPTER Vl-Continued.

'You needn't" broke in the embit-
tered Bill Dale. Il can get the neces-
sary funds without difficulty. I'll pay
the debt myself. You've had a great
many years in which to try to make
amends, and you haven't done any
thing. You might have helped the
Morelands without their even knowing
that it was you-especially as they
seem to have known you by another
name-and that's the only way you
could have helped them. Here you
have one reason why l cannot accept
assistance from you; don't you see, IA
ther? The Morelands wouldn't have
it, and / couldn't lie to them"
He motioned to McLaurin, who had
halted on the lower veranda step in
order that he might not overhear, ana
turned and walked away. McLaurin
followed, and soon overlook him.
Bill Dale stopped suddenly and
faced back to his father.
Remember that Bobby gets his
house and lot!'
"Yes," replied John X. Dale, Bobby
gets his house and lot"
He went sadly toward the mansion
that seemed to him now a good deal
like tomb. Young Dale touched his
friend on the arm.
"rell me, what did mother say? L
know it's going to hurt, but-tell it."
"She was sitting beside an open win
dow in the library" said McLaurin.
II told her that you were at the gate,
and asked if she would like to see you.
At first | was afraid she hadn't heard
me. Then she opened book that she
was reading, found her place and
marked it with finger, and looked at
me.
"'Who did you say was at the gate,
MIR. McLaurinY she asked.
Your son Carlyle answered.
MIR. McLaurin,' she said to me
coldly. L want you never to forget this
10 me there is no such person on
earth as Carlyle Dale"
They went downtown in silence.

1t was Ora's first year in school, and
Maurice, two years the younger, looked
on his brother with great admiration
and awe for the many wonderful new
things he had learned. Bigon, as he
called Ora for some unknown childish
reason, was his idol supreme. An
aunt. visiting one day. asked Maurice
whether he could recite the alphabet.

SCOUTING A WORTHWHILE JOB.

B. K. Willow of Philadelphia, ten
year scout man, says:
'It has been a great pleasure to be
associated in scout work through
these past ten years. Whatever it may
have meant to the boys it has meant
a great deal to me. The seven years
when 1 was actively engaged with the
different groups of boys as scoutmas-
ter have brought a great deal of pleas
ure to me. If every man could come
in contact with boys thus intimately
he would find it helpful in many ways
even though it takes time and means
the sacrifice of things men hold dear.
"After the experience of these ten
years in connection with work for
boys 1 am convinced that there is no
better program for character building
than the scout program and I hope
that may have hand in it for years
to come"

BOY
SCOU
-
Conducted by National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America.)
WHY | AM A SCOUT

The following statement written by
a boy scout, appeared in a Chicago
newspaper in connection with a cam
paign for scout funds:
81 am a boy scout because I believe
in the doctrine Of the Boy Scouts of
America-America first. I believe in
the service to others which the boy
scouts have made the premier issue,
and l believe that the future of this
government, if not of the world, rests
in the hands of the boy scouts of to-
day.
But what have the boy scouts done
and why should they be helped? Dur
ing the war they were@ready to an
swer the summons of their country at
any time. Being too young to shoulder
a gun, they set to work at home to
raise money for the Red Cross, to sell
Liberty bonds and war savings stamps,
only in the last few days Of the cam
paign, to the few who were not
touched before They were ready to
respond to their country in giving first
aid, carrying messages, or doing any,
thing they were called upon to do. For
this they received only a word Of
qualification from their government,
but they were not after praise.
'1The boy scout is trained to rescue
a person in danger, and to apply rrst
aid to his wounds until the doctor
comes. The doctrine of service is ever
prominent, for the good turn daily is
put into practice all over. A scout
can be trusted and will never break
his word or commit a theft. A scout
is loyal and obedient to the right, kind
to dumb animals, of service to man,
friendly toward others and cheerful
in his actions. He has to pass certain
tests which give him a greater knowl-
edge and a broader view.
you are now being asked to con
tribute some money to the boy scouts
in order that they may continue theiI
good work. What is your return? A
safe government for your children
based on the principles Of love, un
selfshness and common sense. There
need be no fear for the future oi
America if placed in the hands of the
boy scouts"

Major Bradley and Henderson Goff.
When Bill Dale, the. expert mining
man Hayes and the two mountaineers
stepped from a short passenger train
at the Halfway switch, they were ap-
preached by the moonshiner, Heck,
and man whom Dale had.never seen
before He was tall, and his bearing
was erect and Sodierlike, though he
was every day of sixty years old.
His eyes were blue and twinkling with
everlasting good humor; his gray
mustaches and imperial were exceed
his own, and as white as Il school
girls, and they bore out his general
air of neatneSS. He was, plainly, a
SOutherner of the old type.
who's that?" whispered Dale to
John Moreland.
But MOreland didn't hear. He ran
forward with his right hand out
stretched, and SO did Ben LittlefOrd.
Men could not have greeted q brother
with more gladness, Dale thought.
Hi, thar, Major Bradley" the hill
man cried. And how dye come on
today?"
Il am very well, gentlemen, thank
you," said the major, smiling.
He shook their hands heartily. 1.-The

They assured him that they were.
MOreland turned TO introduce Bill Dale
and the mining man. From the mo-
ment that Major Bradley gripped
Dale's hand they were friends.

there in the dining room of the Blais-

death the waiter who snickereu, and
found the way to the lobby.
TO Littleford the minutes dragged
sOddenly. Finally he told MOreland,
in a sentence filled with double mega
tives, that he could bear the suspense
no longer, and proposed that they set
out at once for Doctor Braemer's hos
pital. The hotel manager overheard
some of the One-sided conversation
he 'phoned the surgeon and learned
that the young woman was resting
easily, which information he passed
on to the mountain men.
Ben Littleford was quiet for five
minutes, more or less. Then he again
proposed to John Moreland that they
go to the hospital to see Babe. More
land refused fatty, and accompanied
his refusal with an unmistakable look
of contempt.
You're, as restless as a dawg in
flea town." he told his old enemy, anG
with that he walked away.
A few minutes later Ben Littleford
stole out unnOticed by his neighbor
fro71 the Big tine, and went at brisk
ga. VI tic street. Moreland found it
out shortly afterward; he followed the
Littleford chief hotfoot, and overlook
him. Trust your hill dweller to note

straight for the hospital.

thrust upon him. But soon he soft

Braemer assured him. Go on; she

Dale drew a chair up close to the
white bed and sat down. Babes eyes
lighted at once, and she put a hand
uncertainty out toward him. Dale took
the hand in his. He saw that it was
little pale under its delicate sunburn.

softly. why do you think you're go

her that she wouldn't be merely an OBJ

Among the many Memorial day OBJ

young men who gave their lives in
the great war, perhaps none was more
touching than that of the boy scout
who saved his pennies faithfully for

played a role of a "big brother" to
the younger boy before he went to his
