Evangeline's mother would have
given a great deal to know whether
her daughter really cared anything
about Ross Everts and whether she
Intended to marry him. That he in-
tended to marry Evangeline was clear,
but. of course, that waa a different
matter. A mother hates to give up
her child, but even the most affection-
ate mother cannot be blind to anch
a combination of family, looks, posi-
tion and wealth a Ross Everts when
thrown at a daughter's feet and tao
ltljr begging to be picked up and ao
oepted While Evangeline seemed
recklessly indifferent to her luok her
mother, being older, was not ^
"Any other man In Ross' place,
said Evangeline's mother, •ever®1''
"would have been mortally offended
long ago at the way you've treated
him and would have walked off and
never come back, and yon know It!
•Pooh! It's good for him!" de-
clared Evangeline, lightly. "He im-
proves with every snubbing."
"TouH snub him once too often!
said her mother,
~1 dont care," returned the daugh-
ter
"Evangeline, you'll drive me de-
tracted!" lamented her mother. "How
can you be so blind to your own In-
terests! Youll get married aome
day, of course—and let me tell you
that you'll never get a chance like
Ross Everts again! Why, any girl
might be proud to have him to ahow
a preference for her!"
"Oh, I dont know," said ttvange
line, indifferently. Then she yawned.
"He has the flneBt eyes!" went on
her mother in an aggrieved ton*.
"And he is so thoughtfull"
"Is heT" Inquired Evangeline, ab-
sently
"Look at the lovely things he baa
done for yon'" said her mother. "1
should think tnat would touch yon!
Right on top of his giving you a din-
ner and theater party you forget an
engagement with him and go away
with Ted White, who doesn't amount
to a row of pins! I'm surprised that
Robs Everts ever came to see yon
attain!"
"Well," remarked Evangeline, "
—V
i ver the civilized world, says the
Christian Science Monitor. These
boys of a pioneer civilization, called
upon to carry messages, to spy out
the enemy or to engage in other
deeds of daring, frequently display-
ed more bravery, greater ingenuity
and accuracy than the men who had
been brought up amid the educa-
tional advantages of the mother
country. Gen. Sir R. S. S. Baden-
Powell who originated the scout
movement, on returin from South
Africa to England, was impressed by
the large portion of boyB—16 per
cent who were full of spirit and
enthusiasm, but who, owing to
their environment, were drifting in
the wrong direction. According
to his own words they were be-
coming "hooligans," and ultimately
"wasters," no good to themselves,
worse than no good to their country
merely for want of a guiding hand
at the turning point in their career.
To supply this guiding hand, to give
a proper incentive for constructive
living is Sir Robert's purpose with
the Boy Scouts.
Scouting, as he employes the
word, has nothing to do with the
military work as carried on in ac
tive service. It is an attractive
term by means of which large num-
bers of boys are taken in hand in
a practical way. It means "peace
scouting," such as is usual with
frontiersmen in every corner of the
world. The pioneers of civilization
in Central Africa, the rancfcmen
cowboys, and trappers of the West,
the drovers and bushmeii of Aus-
tralia. the explorers of the Artie
and Asiatic regions, the hunters
and prospectors of South Africa,
missionaries in all parts of the
world and the constabularies of
northwest Canada and South Africa,
all are peace scouts, men accustom-
ed to live on their own resources,
| brave and loyal to their employers
| and their country, chivalrous and
| helpful to each other, unselfish and

yon haven't, to appreciate a fine young
yonng man when I see him! Dont
yon really like him, Evangeline?
"Oh, I don't know," returned her
daughter. "Sometimes you get tired
of so much devotion."
"Tired of Robs Everts!" cried the
mother, throwing up her hands to
heaven. "I wish some of the girls
who are so crazy about him could
hear yon say that! They'd be certain
that you were putting it on!"
Tm notf" declared Evangeline. "He
Just doesn't appea-1 to me. I dont see
that he Is a bit different or better
than half a dozen others."

an effort to get boys to appreci
ate the things about them and to
give training in self reliance, man-
hood and good citizenship. They
are taught to live as much as possi-
ble out of doors, camping, "hiking"
aud learing the secrets of the wood3
and- the fields. Their aim is not
military; but the military virtues
of discipline, obedience, neatness,
and order are scout virtues. En-
durance. self-reliance, self-control,
and an effort to help someone else
are scout objectives. Every acti-
vity that lends itself to these aims
is good scout craft.
The first scout organization was
started in England in January. 1908

The man who marries happily may
ed and 20,000 of these have parad-
ed in London. The future of the
English scouts promises even a
.faster growth. In America the idea
lias sprung up spontaneously every
where. In Canada the buy scouts
tun up into the thousands, in the
United States they are organized
an dorganiaing on every hand. It
is estimated over 200,000 arc en-
rolled. When news of the move
ment first reached America it was
declared not new, that America
had the same thing here, oul/ in i
more limited way. Then the differ
cut organizations began to broaden
their borders, incorporating mo-e
and more of the sccout idea into
their own. There was no concerted
movement until last winter when i
certain man, who wishes to with-
hold his name, went to a number
of prominent men interested in work
among boys and offered to give
11000 a month to start such an
organization in the United Staes.
This man, an American, had been
in Ixmdon a short time before. Caught
with j in a dense fog of a London night,
j he was standing one evening on a
street corner undecided which way
to turn, when a boy with a lantern
In his hand came up to htm and
escorted him across the street, it
was a welcome solution of his dif-
ficulty aud he was about to tip the
lad when the latter gave him the
salute, informing him that he was
a boy scout and tips were not ac-
ceptable This impressed the gen-
tleman so forcibly that he made a
careful investigation of the organi-
zation, and he has since been one
of its most active promoters
An immediate outgrowth of his
offer was the appointment of a
committee of men well known for
their work In aid of boys to take
the matter in hand. As the com-
mittee now stands It Is composed of
Ernest Thompson Seton. author and
naturalist, chairman; Lee F. Han-
rner of the Playground Association
of America, secretary; George D.
Pratt of Pratt Institute, treasurer;
John I.. Alexander, New York, man-
aging secretary; Theodore Roosevelt
first vice-president: Jacob A. Uils,
president, Riis settlement; W. D. j
Boyce, publisher: William Verbeck,
adjutant general, state of New
York; Luther Haisey Gullck. M
D.: Russell Sage foundation; Dan-
iel Beard, founder Boy Pioneers.
Sons of Daniel Boone; Edgar M.
Robinson, secretary boys committee,
International Y. M. C. A.. Col.
Peter Bomus, U. S. N., retired,
Army and Navy club, New York
City; Col. H. Livingstone, American
National Bank, Washington, D. C.
This committee has executive powers
and is acting for and forming the
national council
The committee is working in close
connection with Baden-Powell and
is the only one that is officially
approved by him. The organization
was incorporated under the laws of
the district of Columbia, in Feb.
1910, as the Boy Scouts of America
and a bill to incorporate it as a
national organization was introduc
ed into Congress and placed In the
hands of the committee on educa
tion, where it now is, last April
The official manual is the joint
work of Ernest Thompson Seton and
Gen. Sir R. S. S. Baden-Powell
The work of the boy scouts may
be used in connection with boys'
clubs, public schools, Sunday schools,
church cluos, Y. M. C. A.'s, Young
Men's Hebrew associations, play-
ground associations boyB' brigades,
settlements, Knights of the Holy
Grail, etc. The definition of the
religious observance is purposely
left vague in the handbook in or-
der to give a free hand to those
making use of it. They may have
their own instructions in the mat-
ter.
The first organization to take up
the scout ld£a in the United States
before the formation of this com-
mittee was the National Highway
Protective Association, which made
an effort to line up the scouts as an
aid to the reporting of poor roads,
speeding automobiles and vehicles,
directed by Colonel Bomus. The
second was that of the National
Boy Scouts by Colonel Verbeck, who
conducts a military school at Man-
lius, N. Y. These with the Boy
Pioneers, Sons of Daniel Boone, with
others, have since united Into one,
the Boy Scouts of America.
Two Kinds of Scouts.
The American Boy Scout move-
ment should not be confused with
the Boy Scouts of America. They
are entirely separate and distinct.
The former organization is known
as the Hearst organization, be-
cause of the interest of William R.
Hearst of New York, and it is for-
warded primarily in those cities
where Mr. Hearst's papers are pub-
lished. While following the gen-
eral lines laid down by Baden-Pow-
ell, it is working independently and
emphasizes the military phase.
During the last three months the
Boy Scouts of America have ap-
pointed scout masters in nearly ev-
ery state in the union and over
150,000 boys have been enrolled
Although the organization com
mlttee is not pushing the work, the
headquarters In New York have
been inundated with letters of in
quiry and requests for ahvlce.
