was the bust of Sir Walter in front
of Raleigh Tavern, and there he
drew up, before the steps where
he was once nigh to taking Dane
Grey's life.
The little tavern was thronged
and the air charged with the spirit
OF war. Indeed, nothing else was
talked.
Next morning Erskine rode forth
along a sandy road, amidst the
singing of birds and through a
forest OF tiny upshooting leaves,
for Red Cakes on the James.
He had forsworn Colonel Dale
to secrecy as to the note he had
left behind giving his birthright to

searched the river with her eyes.
Soon the girl nuttered a handker-

At the bend OF the river the boat
disappeared from Erskine's sight

Then George Rogers Clark had

Wealthy parents naturally feel like

They cannot be blamed for this i'm
Pulse but their judgment is sadly at
fault if they do not restrain it. They
mean to do kindness ana DO a grave
Injustice. They take boy in the for

cannot be expected to be particularly
good, and give him costly things to
tempt him beyond his strength to ne
elect the legitimate duties whose faith
full performance would add much to
his chances for future usefulness and
happiness. They also help their own
son to become snob, a disgusting
thing to be. A rich boy has hard
enough time in turning out all right
anyway and his doting parents should
deny themselves and thrust upon him
no avoidable handicaps.
